Good karma and calm vibes at Calma Salons in Boughton

Some salons are built around a look; Calma Salons is built around a feeling. The business, owned by husband-and-wife duo Chloe and Jordan Chambers, has made its home at 55-57 Boughton, on the eastern edge of Chester city centre, bringing with it a concept rooted in good energy and high standards.

Chester is the couple's second location. Their first Calma salon launched in Altrincham, and the success of that opening gave them the confidence to bring the idea across the county to one of Chester's most characterful approach roads.

The name itself tells the story. It came from Chloe's belief in good karma and her wish for the salon to have a genuinely calm atmosphere, so the two words were blended together to create Calma. It is a philosophy that runs through the way the salon is run, from the welcome at the door to the time spent in the chair.

Speaking to local news site Chester Nub News about the opening, Chloe explained that with her own salon she wanted clients to feel calm and comfortable in their own skin. The aim is to create a space where people can properly switch off and relax, regardless of what the rest of their day looks like, whether they have squeezed in an appointment between meetings or are treating themselves to a long-awaited afternoon off.

The menu is broad enough to make it a one-stop beauty destination. Calma offers hair, nails, make-up, facials and a range of beauty treatments, so clients can book anything from a quick manicure to a full pamper before a big night out or special occasion.

Boughton has been quietly building a reputation as a neighbourhood of independents, and Calma's arrival was counted among the notable new independent openings in Chester over the past year. Early feedback from customers has been consistently positive, suggesting the calm-first approach is striking a chord with Chester clients.

For a city that already knows how to do style, Calma adds something a little different: a reminder that how you feel when you leave a salon matters just as much as how you look.

Calma Salons Chester is at 55-57 Boughton, Chester CH3 5AF. Appointments can be booked via calmasalons.co.uk.
