She did an amazing job dry-cutting my curls and expertly shaped my hair with layers. Her salon is cute, clean, and welcoming, and she had her sweet dog there to keep customers company (pictured)!

You get a good shot of vodka before she starts with the scissors... :) Which was perfect as I went from long to short so I needed it haha! I have very unruly super curly hair and always wanted it long but it never grew passed my shoulders. So I gave her freedom to do whatever. She made is short and so easy to maintain!!! I am going back tomorrow now three months later :) Also she does not tell me what I have to do, but works around how I treat my hair which is great. She said 'I cant train your hands', which makes sense as I am used to moving through my hair in a certain way for ages now. Having curly hair, I've been traumatised many many times since being a little girl coming from hair dressers. I have to say, this is one of the best experiences I ever had! So happy I found it!

The…read moreTeviot salon is right next to George Square and so it is in the ideal location to catch all the University students walking by. I have been to this salon several times to get my hair cut and each time I leave feeling completely fabulous! From the moment you walk into the salon you feel like a valued customer as all the staff are incredibly friendly. Each time I have been it has always been very busy, although I have always managed to get an appointment at the last minute which is a bonus. Getting my hair washed at Medusa is definitely my favourite aspect of the hairdressing experience. They lather your hair in the most delicious smelling shampoo and massage your head for a wee while which is so relaxing! My hairdresser was very friendly and understood exactly what it was I was after. The prices start at £32 for a ladies hair cut and blow dry which I first thought was a little bit expensive but having been and experienced the service, I found that it was very worth it. They do offer student discounts which start at 10%. Medusa also has a beauty salon in its hairdressing store and offers manicures and pedicures.

My fav sylist Jill moved to this branch a few months ago & I followed her…read more Last time she cut my hair the morning of a friend's wedding & when it was done, styled it into a fab up-do with the hair band I'd taken along. It looked great & I felt a million dollars. The do stayed up all day & all night & survived the ceilidh & disco dancing, obligitatory drunken stumbling in huge heels & I was sad to take it down before bed. This time I was feeling brave & in need of a change. "I want to chop it all off", I said. "How short?" she asked. "Well, I need your advice.." I said. And advise me she did. We discussed a few options. The pros & cons of each. My reasons for wanting to go short, my expectations of how to care for each style, how each would look as it grew out. Things I hadn't even thought off. "are you sure?" She asked... ... I was. She snipped & chopped. Then there was a huge pile of hair on the floor. I gulped. I looked in the mirror. Jill had worked her magic once more.

I LOVE Vanity Thrills. Like the previous reviewer, I was super sad when miss dixiebells closed, but…read moreoverjoyed when I found out that Ariana was doing her own thing. It is such a treat getting my hair done, and makes getting ready for a party so much easier, especially since I got my make up done too. I literally just had to step to my dress and decide which handbag to use. Ariana worked her magic and sculpted my hair into victory rolls (caves not tunnels!) and the intricate work at the back of my hair is beautiful. She is a cool gal and knows her stuff. I like getting all my hair up, as then I can sleep in a head square (not the sexiest look I grant you) but I can eek three days out if my up doo as it is firmly in place with setting lotion / lacquer Kirby grips and hair spray. I had my make up done by Cat (freelance professional make up artist) that Ariana works with regularly. She is super fun and I honestly don't know how she made me look so good. My skin was glowing and my flicks were sharp. I kept doing a double take to see that it was actually me! I was so pleased with it. Thank you ladies for working your magic and getting this girl dolled up for her party.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Vanity Thrills has emerged from the recently deceased Miss…read moreDixiebelle. I was absolutely horrified when I FINALLY had a reason to go vintage and Miss Dixiebelle was long gone, replaced by (I think) a cat cafe or a barber shop. Either way, devastation briefly ensued until I discovered Vanity Thrills, lurking on the side. recently launched after MD's closure, and with barely there premises in Abbeyhill shared with Cutie Cool Nails, I managed to get my hair style set in time for my vintage night out. My sister and I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon with Ariana being primped and I have to say, I actually never believed my hair would ever look that good. Mind, there were a million bobby pins in there, but it was an absolute work of art (that I couldn't for the life of me take a photo of). My sister, turned into my grandmother (looks wise, not age!) with a lovely bob set. Utterly delighted, and Ariana is lovely. Highly recommended, and I can't wait for another reason to go back. At the moment, the website is under construction, but there is an active Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/VanityThrillsVintageHairandBeautyParlour/timeline), so check it out to see the Vintage offerings there. VT does home appointments as well as at the salon, but I suspect the tea and biscuits won't flow quite as plentifully there!

This little hairdresser is often mistaken for some sort of furniture or boutique store rather than…read morea place to get your haircut. It has a laid back style and homey feeling to it- no extreme shiny surfaces or too many posters of hair models draping the walls. If you are getting hair dyed you can hang out on their comfy couches with coffee/tea. I have had my hair cut three times here. The first two I was quite pleased with , the last was ok- I only ever get a trim so nothing too drastic was required but somehow it wasn't a great cut. They do have a student deal and offer services of head massage , manicure/pedicure and other massages. Prices can vary depending on the service- probably the most relaxing hair wash I have ever had, but careful on offers for head massage etc as this will be added to your bill in the end and lead to a possible unpleasant suprise. Other than that, lovely atmosphere! Book in advance is advisable, although twice they have managed to fit me in when I dropped by.

She was fantastic from the consultation ( recommending olaplex as a pretreatment which is simply the best hair conditioning I have ever had) right through to talking me through products I might like to help maintain my colour going forward) Her knowledge of the davines products that muse sell is unrivalled, she talked me through them but at no point put any pressure on to buy anything she is just passionate about them ... I purchased products because I genuinely wanted too. Muse I should mention had to be hand selected & approved by davines in order to sell their products which they do exclusively ... The whole team are very welcoming ( I was in the salon 3 times, 1 for a free consultation another to get an olaplex and then my final appointment to get my balayage done) my Appointment was at 2.15pm and whilst the salon is open until 6pm on a Wednesday I was the last client of the day for her, they do this to ensure they can give you 100per cent of their focus, she constantly checked my colour & toner progress. I left 20 mins after closing and didn't feel hurried out the door at all! The salon is very modern and everything down to the coffee was faultless. I'm so happy to have found a hair dressers in Edinburgh I can trust. I carefully read reviews on this salon before trying them for myself and I am pleased to report they are clearly genuine reviews so I felt i should leave one of my own ... See you again soon!

The owner, Scott, has continued the family business which started in 1960 as a barber shop called Staynley's Hairdresser. The place is now known as Muse Hair. New clients will be asked to fill out a questionnaire which lists your likes, dislikes and general haircare routine etc. The staff in Muse are very friendly. When my hair is shampooed, they tell you what products they are using and you can also buy them here. It was here that I was recommended the Redken Blonde Glam shampoo which I now use regularly. On my recent visit (yesterday) I also saw a notice that if you check in to Muse on Facebook, you can get 10% off any retail products you buy. I usually just go for a haircut and blowdry, but I have also had highlights done here a few times, and always leave as a happy customer.
