We are B.O.B.
Affordable, luxury hairdressing
Our Story
Founded by Carey Faulkner and Melloney Gillham, B.O.B Salons was born from a shared vision and over 35 years of combined experience in the hair and beauty industry. Partners in business and in life, Carey and Melloney set out to create something truly unique — a salon where the guest experience comes first, blending exceptional service with beautiful hair and expert professional advice.
We genuinely love what we do and are deeply passionate about hairdressing and outstanding customer service. We believe a business is only as strong as its team, and we’re incredibly proud to work alongside a talented, dedicated group of stylists who live and breathe our philosophy: good people, achieving good things, in good ways.
2013
B.O.B Salons first opened its doors on 15th January 2013 with just three team members and a big dream.
Today
Today, we are proud to be one of the most sought-after hair salons in Bracknell and the surrounding areas, winning multiple awards along the way and fast becoming the go-to destination for exceptional hair.
Why B.O.B?
The name B.O.B holds deep meaning. It represents the classic and timeless haircut made famous by legendary hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, reflecting our desire to build a salon business that is equally enduring and iconic.
B.O.B is also an abbreviation for our Blow Out Bar membership, allowing guests to purchase bundles of blow-dries — and, most importantly, it was the affectionate name of Carey’s late father, Robert “BOB” Faulkner, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2007 and remains a constant source of inspiration behind the brand.
We Care
At B.O.B Salons, we truly care — about our guests, our team, and our planet. We are committed to playing our part in creating a more sustainable future and believe that small changes can make a big difference.
We’ve introduced eco-conscious practices throughout the salon, including reusable towels, eco shower heads, and energy-saving lighting, and we carefully select environmentally responsible products and brands wherever possible.
Because looking good should also feel good — for today and for the future
