Elsewhere was founded in 2012 by Zoë who, after spending 9 years honing and perfecting the finer skills of cutting hair, decided to dedicate her time to running her own salon.
Passionate about the art of cutting, she regularly attends training courses and seminars with some of the best stylists in the world.

The goal is for you to relax and enjoy your experience. The salon is fragranced with natural oil and plant based candles, and reed diffusers. Plenty of time is allocated for a full consultation, followed by a calming head massage during your shampoo.

The salon aims to be as sustainable as possible. This is something Zoë is passionate about and she continuously strives to reduce the impact on the environment. 

Elsewhere works with Davines, a registered B Corp, whose products use sustainable packaging. All shampoos and conditioners are sulphate and paraben free. All styling products are packaged in carefully selected materials that make them easy to separate and recycle. The carbon dioxide emissions from production are offset with the reforestation and woodland protection projects. Zoë also uses 100% biodegradable bamboo towels.  

The salon is located in the courtyard to the right of the Bear Hotel, behind Barclays Bank. The Portway council car park offers 2 hours free parking, and is a 2 minute walk away, through the lovely arcades.
