Why The Beauty Guru Is Manchester’s Most Inclusive Salon
Could we possibly be? Sounds good doesn’t it? We genuinely hope that one day everyone will strive to be inclusive and try and understand and welcome everyone. So, what makes The Beauty Guru an inclusion champion?
Trans Awareness & Respect
Our founder, Sam, is a trans awareness trainer and educator for the beauty industry. Every member of our team is trained in inclusive language and client care.
That means:
Gender-neutral services and pricing - treatments are based on time and skill, not gender labels.
Reispecting your name and pronouns - our booking system includes a pronoun field, so you’re addressed correctly every time.
A safe, stigma-free salon experience for trans and non-binary clients, whether it’s your first appontment or your fiftieth.
Accessibility That Works
We’ve designed our space with accessibility in mind:
Step-free access from entrance to treatment areas.
Adjustable couches and chairs for comfort during treatments.
You can let us know about your access needs when you book, and we’ll be ready to welcome you.
Neurodiverse-Friendly Appointments
We know beauty spaces can feel overwhelming for some clients. That’s why we’re neurodiverse-aware, offering:
The option to request a quieter or sensory-friendly appointment (warm bed on, cold room, softer lighting, fidget toys).
Therapists who respect if you’d prefer minimal small talk (including silent treatments)
Clear, simple explanations of treatments for peace of mind. Pre-care, post-care and in treatment explanations.
All Skin Tones, All Bodies
Our advanced treatments - from facials to laser hair removal and electrolysis — are performed safely and effectively on all skin tones. Every treatment is adapted to your unique skin, so you get personalised care without compromise.
We’re also a body-positive salon. That means no judgement, no assumptions, and no commentary on size, shape, hair growth, scars, or stretch marks.
And inclusivity goes further:
Parents are welcome to bring babies or children if needed, we get that time alone is hard.
Men are welcome for all treatments (a minority in our industry) - beauty has no gender.
Simple Online Booking, Flexible Communication
All treatments are booked securely online, so it’s quick and straightforward. But if you’d like to chat, you’re always welcome to contact us by email, WhatsApp, or social media before or after you book. We’ll always respond with warmth and respect.
🌟 Beauty for Every Body
At The Beauty Guru, inclusivity isn’t about being perfect — it’s about commitment. We’re proud to be HIV-aware (Sam co-wrote the HIV in Beauty course with George House Trust), trans-aware (Sam created Be Trans Aware), neurodiverse-aware, and experts in treating all skin tones and all bodies.
We believe inclusive beauty isn’t a trend - it’s the standard. And we’re proud to set it here in Manchester.
