How We Got Started
Founded in 2024, Olive & Orchard is the newest chapter in the South Causey Inn story - an upmarket yet warmly welcoming hair and beauty salon set within one of the original stable blocks of the old Equestrian Centre. Once home to more than 100 horses (and later transformed into the Inn’s own working brewery!), this beautifully restored space now offers a luxurious retreat where modern style meets rich heritage.
Just a stone’s throw from Stanley, Olive & Orchard brings together a team of six exceptional experts who share one passion: delivering five-star service with genuine warmth, friendliness, and care. As well as offering precision cuts, flawless blow-dries, indulgent massages, rejuvenating facials, and eye and nail treatments, the team are renowned as bridal hair and beauty specialists in County Durham.
Relax, Refresh, & Rejuvenate
Step inside Olive & Orchard and you’ll discover a chic, stylish hair and beauty salon in Stanley, County Durham, with luxurious treatment rooms designed to help you slow down, breathe out, and enjoy a well-deserved escape from the everyday hustle.
Sink into relaxation with a pampering Temple Spa treatment, enjoy a soothing facial or massage, or refresh your look with a gorgeous colour and cut - our team will take care of the rest.
Open seven days a week, Olive & Orchard sits beside the award-winning South Causey Inn, a family-run country pub, restaurant, and cocktail bar known for hearty hospitality and beautiful Beamish Valley surroundings. The Inn’s stunning Hot Tub Houses and Luxury Pamper Houses even feature private massage rooms, indoor hot tubs, and stylish lounges, perfect for pairing with one of our bespoke salon experiences.
