A MULTI-AWARD WINNING SALON!
Upper38 has been one of Threebestrated Salons for over 5 years in a row; 2023 we were awarded the Southern Enterprise Award; 2022 we won Hair Salon of the Year with Corporate Livewire Prestige Awwards.
APPROACH
We don’t believe “one style fits all” so we take the time to LISTEN to you, and then work with you to tailor the right look. Attention to detail is key to our team – we know the importance of the right grade of fade, that your highlights go right to the root, that when you say take an inch off, you mean an inch. But don’t take our word for it, check out what our clients say on our Facebook page.

Would 10000% recommend Upper38 for those looking for a professional and fabulous result! All the staff are so friendly!
She also does a good job and the staff are super
Friendly and the price is very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.
It’s also a really nice atmosphere in the salon. A great mix of clients; it feels diverse and inclusive. All the staff seem so lovely and it has very relaxed feel.
Happy with my new hair style, which Amanda was personalised & patient to cut it the way I wanted it after showing pictures.
The Team
Pauline - Owner
Hi, I’m Pauline, Manager and Owner of Upper 38.
A key part of my role is to ensure that all our staff work with each client to understand exactly what they want, and then deliver exactly that at affordable prices. Having recently moved to our newly refurbished salon in January 2022, we had an opportunity to create a cool and contemporary environment (check out our lie-down backwash units) whilst retaining our friendly and relaxed approach.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new Mutley Plain salon.
Lewis (Barber)
Hi – my name is Lewis and, I have been working at Upper 38 for over 8 years. I love chatting to clients, and work hard to excel in all areas of barbering including skinfades and wet shaves, and love working with kids or adults alike. I am also a professional songwriter and musician, check out my band Hayward on instagram.
Amanda
Hi – I am Amanda and I joined Upper 38 last year, having returned to the UK from New Zealand. I have over 38 years experience in gents and ladies hairdressing – I know, “this cannot be true I hear you say!” I have always loved being a hairdresser, best job in the world, and I love bringing my cutting, colouring and perming skills to our lovely new salon on Mutley Plain. I am also a competitive open water swimmer, hoping to do the World Masters in 2025.
Lewis (Stylist)
Hi – my name is Lewis and I have been working at Upper 38 since early 2021. Although I cover all areas of ladies hairdressing, I guess my favourite is fashion colours and exotic balayages.
Eda
Hi – my name is Eda (short for Zinaida) and I am from Ukraine, having recently arrived in the UK in June 2022. I covered all areas of hairdressing and love doing colours having worked with most of the major global brands. As with UK clients, Ukrainians want the latest “cutting edge” techniques and methods, and I love delivering those requirements. I love Plymouth and feel very welcomed, both in the salon and in the city.
Kat
Hello – I am a local girl and have been working in the hairdressing industry for over 20 years, having recently joined Upper 38 in January 2023. I love all areas of hairdressing including gents hair, colouring and cutting. I have 2 teenagers, one of whom is hoping to compete at the next Olympics, so a lot of time is spent travelling to London and internationally.
Gemma
Hi – I am Gemma and I have worked as a beautician for over 10 years, not only at Upper38 but also in Cyprus. I am also a qualified Beauty Trainer. I offer all areas of beauty including acrylic nails, lash extensions and lashlifts, and waxing. I have a very lively 2 year old, so spare time is really only a concept to me!
Cody
Hi – I am Cody and I have over 4 years Beauty experience, offering shellac nails, waxing, pedicures and facials. I have a 2 year old, and so am currently only working on a part-time basis.
Diane
Hi – along with Pauline, I run the reception area and salon generally. It’s a busy position but I very much enjoy the multi-tasking element of my job, and interaction with clients and staff alike.
