We are located in the heart of beautiful downtown Dover, NH where we have been successfully satisfying our clients for over 30 years. Our warm and inviting space lets you feel at home while offering you a pleasurable escape from life's worries. Our team here at Positive Directions is highly trained and skilled in all aspects of hair cutting.

We were the first salon in the area to introduce & be certified in the Keratin Smoothing Treatment. They made sure every single question I had was answered, and are always available if I think of any more questions I want answered. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with.

I called last minute for a brow wax. They were able to get me in and I received an amazing service! She had to clean up my "COVID eyebrows" They came out so great that I won't be going anywhere else in the future!! Another positive nod in a Positive Direction at a local business!! Thank you for my beautiful eyebrows!!

I had a cut and dry with Donna, and she was great! I just moved to Dover from out of state, and it can be nerve-wracking trying to find a new salon/stylist, especially with curly hair! I explained what I wanted, Donna gave suggestions based on her professional experience, and we agreed on a plan. I was very pleased with the outcome! Donna styled my hair curly, and offered to do a blowout so I could see how it would look both ways. It was great to be able to see it both ways and have her make adjustments as needed based on how it looked. I was very pleased with the service, and will definitely go

Joanne gave me the best hair cut I've ever had! I have curly hair and nobody else has ever known how to cut it in just the right way. If you want outstanding customer service, years of experience and someone who really listens, I suggest you run to this salon. I guarantee you'll walk out looking and feeling fabulous!

Amazing experience! Hands down the best haircut I've had and a great experience to boot! I hadn't cut my hair in a while and needed a cut badly. I didn't know anywhere in town so I just googled hair salon, called them up and made an appointment.
After convincing my hair stylist that I could handle a 12+ inch cut, she worked her magic, showed me how to style my new 'do and even straightened it, just for fun.
I will definitely be back to get my hair cut again!

My first time at Positive Directions was just that... Positive! I had a shampoo, cut and blow dry with Donna and it was perfect! Everyone at the salon, though, was very engaged and just wonderful! I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for experienced stylists who are more than willing to take the time to listen, share advice, and help you reach the look best for you. I would highly recommend this salon over any other I have been to!

My first great experience in a long time, I am really happy with my hair. Trina is really good with her hands, and she knows what she's doing, my hair is particular and need an expert touch, and she did a fantastic job!! I definitely recommend Positive Directions, and we'll go there for my next appointment too.

I am not a review-writer, but I just had to write one for the absolutely amazing experience I had at Positive Directions last Saturday. It was my first time in the salon and I was greeted genuinely and warmly. My hair appointment was with Laura Duffy, and she was meticulous and precise from the beginning. She was the first stylist to ever actually consider my hair type, texture and the first to actively listen to what I had to say about my challenges that I have with my thick, coarse and impossible-to-manage hair. She showed me two different ways to style my hair and went well out of her way to
