If you want to go to a salon where: a) you are encouraged to write reviews via their Facebook page so that you can get 15% off your next appointment, but you then have to remind/ ask for the 15% off and when you go to pay they "forget" to deduct it and then tell you to remind them at your next appointment and you can get it off then! b) you are left to sit and wait whilst your hairdresser arranges her night out with her boyfriend on the phone, twice! c) your hairdresser has a rant in the middle of cutting your hair about someone outside the shop who is annoying her dog (dog is sitting at door of salon) and then stomps off in a rage to slam the door shut d) on top of all of this your cut is mediocre and very pricey. Not the salon / hairdresser for me - very unprofessional behaviour, and I will be telling as many people as possible to steer clear! read more

History
Established in 2011.
Anna renovated an old shop in Gifford, East Lothian into a salon in 2011. After seven successful years in Gifford, Anna decided to move too much bigger premises in Haddington. Although the building was beautiful, it was rife with problems and proved a steep learning curve for Anna, with staff problems and cold surroundings. When Anna's close friend died on Xmas eve 2018, she began to take stock and realised how unhappy she had become and how far her business was from her original vision and how excellent the service was before the move. It was time to relocate again! Anna has now renovated her two spare rooms in her house, into a beautiful, fully fitted salon. She wishes she had moved to her home a long time ago but didn't regret moving from Gifford as it's been a great experience and very enriching in lots of ways. Anna's loyal clients have been incredibly supportive and are enjoying the new salon, and also love how happy Anna is.

I have been to Anna twice now and on both occasions I was so happy with everything from the cut to the service. My recent visit was 7 weeks post baby and my long outgrown bob was in need of some tlc and injection of life! Anna picked up on this and subtly suggested a very different look and the end result is a cropped and much more modern and fresh look complete with a chunky fringe with light feathering into my neck at the back and I love it! Anna and her staff give a great level of personalised customer service which (in my opinion) is second to none and is certainly the best salon in East Lothian, rivalling Edinburgh without the hefty price tag and awkward 'trendy' ambience. Instead the salon is modern and homely and you are welcomed back like an old friend where nothing is too much trouble and there is genuine warmth to the conversation. Lily and Buddy are an unusual addition adding to the laid-back feel. Can't wait until my next visit! read more

Just had my second visit to Anna's salon in Gifford and it didn't disappoint!! I went in unsure of what to have done but in need of a makeover 7 weeks after baby and Anna talked through my options before totally transforming my hair and I love it. Anna's style is fresh and honest and clearly has a wealth of experience behind her. Anna has also expanded to include complimentary therapies and the ambience in the treatment room is sooo relaxing. Unlike my experience of many larger salons in Edinburgh, the salon is down to earth whilst remaining modern and very homely, there are lots of lovely touches such as the cute little trays that tea is served to you on. Personally I feel that prices are very reasonable and staff are very relaxed and personable. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone living in East Lothian for cut, colour or treatments. read more

I was hired to do the makeup for a charity fashion show, for the salon. I had a wonderful day with Anna and her team. They made me feel so welcome, the little touches like having a makeup station all set up with a towel laid out and lots of nibbles to keep us all going, did not go unnoticed. After a great day the salon has shown me so much loyalty by setting me up with lots of other jobs by recommending me to their clients. I am so grateful to have met and worked with such a lovely bunch of ladies and if I do ever pluck up the courage to change my hair do. It will defiantly be with Anna and her team :D Nina Raphaella Morrocco MUA http://www.ninamorrocco.co.uk read more

I am really happy with my visit to Anna's salon & the retreat. Anna Coloured my hair and it is really glossy and feels so different now! Leigh cut and styled my hair so very nicely, I can manage it at home now. while my hair colour developed I had a really super pot of coffee with scrummy chocolates and biscuits. when my hair was finished I was taken into the retreat for a pedicure and it was really relaxing Eily was very kind and made my feet look super. Thank you for your kindness. the service was brilliant start to finish and was very reasonably priced with a quality city salon feel but with FREE PARKING! ill definitely go back to the girls. read more

visited the salon to sort out an outgrown blonde hair colour that had seen better days. Anna perfectly coloured my hair to blend in with my natural colour and restored the shine, I was extremely happy with the results and after years of salon hopping, can honestly say I would prefer to use this salon every time. Its not the closest salon to me but the travel is well worth it for the service and excellent job done. I would highly reccommend the salon to everyone. read more

Really great haircut from Anna, she gave me tons of advice on how to manage my hair, it looks the best it has done for years. The colour is out of this world, I've never been to someone with so much knowledge about hair colouring. Then there is the gorgeous salon, how lovely how they have it all set up. The dog Lily is a gem, it's a pet lover dream salon. Anna gave me the most wonderful head massage. Thank you very much. read more

A friend from East Lothian has been going to Anna since she was in Gifford and highly recommended so I tried the salon a while ago and have just visited for the second time today. Courtney did my blow dry after Anna coloured my hair (brilliantly) was asked to write a review and was delighted to do so! I think I'm going to get addicted to the salon and yelping!!! read more

Fantastic salon have tried a fair few in my time but Anna and Lee manage to combine their excellent skills and professionalism with a friendly warm environment which is often lacking in other salons. Always loads of great offers available. Great experience and would thoroughly recommend a trip to Anna Mather Colour Specialist & Hair Stylist any time!. read more

I've never been a fan of going to the hairdressers but after a friend recommended Anna I've had a total change of heart! I look forward to my 6weekly appointments and have never left feeling anything but impressed and happy! I've also branched out and had a few beauty appointments (waxing and nails) which is a really lovely addition. Highly recommended read more

Anna and the Team offer a professional and friendly service, and always with a smile. Hair cut, colour or beauty treatments are given in a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. Complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits always on offer. You get a top end city hair salon service but in a pretty village setting and without a huge price tag. Highly recommended. read more

After having a run of bad hairdresser experiences recently, I was relieved to find a salon where the hairdresser (Anna) listens to what you want, gives great advice and all within a lovely salon too! All the staff are very friendly and I found the service to be great. I will definitely be recommending to all my friends! Thank you! read more

Anna and her team give a very friendly welcome whenever you go to the salon, you are greeted like a long lost friend. Anna has given me excellent advice on the colour and style that would suit me best and her suggestions were spot on.

Wedding hair lasted all day! Anna styled my hair for a friends wedding at Coulston House last month. It was just as I asked with lots of volume and it lasted all day, she even curled my grandaughter's hair even though she wasn't booked in. The children enjoyed seeing Anna's kittens in her cat area outside. read more

A real gem of a salon! Proves you don't need to make the journey to edinburgh to get the professional service you want. Very reasonable prices with all the same menu options you would expect in a city centre salon. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that can help you with all your hair or beauty needs. read more
