FROM HEAD TO TOE: DANA QUINLAN STEPS INTO WESTBOURNE WITH HOUSE OF HEELS ACQUISITION
Beloved hair and beauty brand takes the next stride with the acquisition of House of Heels in Westbourne, Bournemouth
The Dana Quinlan brand, synonymous with exceptional style, warmth and an unwavering commitment to customer experience, is stepping into exciting new territory. Dana and Kevin Quinlan, who run the acclaimed Dana Quinlan Hair salon in Canford Cliffs, are excited to announce that they have taken ownership of House of Heels, the beloved independent shoe boutique in the heart of Westbourne, Bournemouth.
The acquisition marks a natural evolution of the Dana Quinlan brand, built on the belief that looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. From the perfect cut, colour and blow-dry to the perfect heel, the Quinlan philosophy has always been about the complete picture.
House of Heels has long been celebrated for its beautifully curated selection of footwear and the warm, personal service that keeps customers coming back, and that is something the Quinlans are wholeheartedly committed to preserving. Featuring European and British luxury brands, from elegant occasion shoes to stylish everyday wear, the boutique will continue to be the destination it has always been, now with the added dimension of Dana’s instinctive eye for the complete look.
Dana Quinlan, who was born in Kosovo and trained in Austria before building a glittering career in London’s film and fashion industry, working across movie sets, fashion weeks and television programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing, brings that rich, international perspective to everything she does. She trained in scissors through the Vidal Sassoon Academy in London and is known to be one of the UK’s leading colour correction experts. Having made Dorset her home, she has built Dana Quinlan Hair into one of Canford Cliffs’ most trusted destinations. Now, House of Heels is the next exciting step.
Dana comments,
“Hair, shoes, jewellery, it’s all part of the same story. When a client sits in my chair, I’m already thinking about the whole look. Now we can be part of that journey from head to toe. But more than anything, it comes down to listening, really listening, and making sure every single person who walks through that door leaves feeling their best.”
Stocking an enviable edit of European and British footwear, including Pascucci, Marco Tadei and a handpicked selection of Spanish, Italian and homegrown British labels, House of Heels offers something for every occasion, from luxury heels to beautifully crafted everyday styles.
The new chapter begins now. Watch this space… and watch your step!
