    Been to McGills three times now and I love it! Natasha is lovely and very talented. The first time she cut my hair she made sure to fully walk me through the process and she told me before each step what she did and she would do next. I got so many compliments for my hair afterwards that I had to go back! I have and I will continue to recommend McGills to everyone :)

    First time at Mcgills and all I can say is fabulous... Lovely salon, nice and relaxing. My stylist Eniko explained everything, asked lots of questions to get an idea of what I wanted. I had cut my own hair (after watching YouTube videos) it was a mess and I hated it.Came out of the salon loving my hair! I will be recommending Mcgills to everyone I know and look forward to going back in 6 weeks.

    Robyn colored my hair a few times and I always go back to see her! She is so friendly and she always knows exactly what I want, even when I am not sure myself. I recommend McGills, but especially because she is there, and after years of seeing her I feel like we became friends already. Thanks again Robyn xxx

    Heather gave me the perfect haircut - yes, it can happen! After many failed attempts at finding someone who understands what I want, I found the best hairdresser that not only listened to me, but also cut my hair according to my face shape and desired maintenance regime. I left the saloon as chirpy as a bird with my new curly bob and perfect fringe! Thanks xx

    Had my first hair appointment with Robyn on Friday. Was greeted with a warm welcome, offered a drink,given magazines and was advised of my wait. My stylist was running behind time. As I immediately felt at ease this wasn't an issue an was happy to wait. Robyn apologised for the wait but was very attentive and patient with me asking me plenty of questions about what I wanted and took the time to explain it to me and then confirm that I was happy. From start to finish the whole experience was enjoyable. The products used on my hair of a very high quality, a very good cut and very calm atmosphere. As a nervous customer looking to find a good hairdressing salon I felt very relaxed in Robyn's hands. Observing others I could tell each stylist had a good rapport with their clients. I can see that I would feel comfortable with any of the stylists here. I feel I have found a salon I want to come back too from the ambience of the place to their ethos to the skills of the stylists. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a high quality hair salon.
    Thank you so much, Manisha! We really appreciate your lovely words and the excellent review. It was an absolute pleasure to have you in the salon and we look forward to seeing you again soon :)

    My appointment is in a few days but I wanted to leave a review to say that I am so impressed with the website, facebook and instagram pages. Why? Because like most people I am nervous when it comes to finding a new hairdresser. After all, we are putting our trust(and our hair!) in the hands of someone we don't know. However, the website is so informative from descriptions of hairstyles to hair colouring, from services to blogs. But what really grabbed my attention is the sustainability and eco-friendly awareness of the owners and the team and how they are putting this into action. I actually took the time to read each section and this gave me the confidence to give this salon a shot over the numerous salons in Edinburgh. I am nervous but excited at the same time about my hair appointment. So fingers crossed!!
    Hi Manisha, Thank you so much for leaving this review! We have worked hard to make our website and social media as informative as possible and we are really glad to hear that you found it helpful :)

    Very happy with my first visit to McGills, and have already booked in to maintain my hair and potentially have it coloured. Robyn did a great job with my long-overdue trim and put in some layers. She explained the products she was using, which smelled great, and have transformed my hair already, so much so that I purchased some to keep my hair in good condition. I initially decided to book in at McGills as they are eco-friendly and cruelty free, which is great, I'm so pleased to have found a salon with these values! The whole thing was an enjoyable process from start to finish, and well worth the money- very reasonably priced! Many thanks again!

    Loved my first visit to McGills! It won’t be my last! Eniko cut my hair and she took time to talk through what I wanted and what issues I have with my hair etc.! She explained all of the products and what she was doing and why and took time to make sure I was 100% happy! Love the sustainable products! The eco-friendly and sustainable reputation brought me to McGills and the brilliant experience will bring me back!

    I went to McGills for the first time today, and I have never had such a positive experience at a hairdresser. The staff were lovely, friendly & down-to-Earth, the service was quick & professional, they used great products & I am super happy with my cut. Couldn't recommend it enough! Thanks so much Robyn for a fantastic haircut :)
    Thanks for the fantastic review, Juliette. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and we will see you in the new year :)

    Cannot recommend McGills enough for their ethos and attention to customer happiness. I originally went to McGills for a balayage in time for summer. I naturally have very straight, black hair that is quite difficult to lift. I had been last year and Maya had done a wonderful job. This time I booked with Geles who was lovely and attentive. I left the salon and the balayage was perhaps a bit ashy compared to what I had in mind. I wear my hair very straight and middle parted so there is little forgiveness if any colour appears unblended or a bit sudden. Garry contacted me asking if I was happy and I asked for a wee fix. McGill’s customer service is faultless, no questions were asked and I was rebooked in for another session to get exactly what I wanted. This time I was with James who has an incredible eye for detail. He made me feel so welcome and this is not always the case with other salons if you are unhappy with the original result. I am so happy with what James has done; my hair is now much more blended and as warm as I originally envisioned. I will be rebooking with James to go lighter this summer for sure. I have already recommended him to friends who wanting to go lighter!
    Thanks Kenya! We're so glad you're happy with it. We look forward to seeing you again soon ?

    Had an amazing experience with Taylor at McGill Hairdressing. We had a great vibe and he was professional from the get go. Hairtest, color patch test, initial discussion about what I was looking to get were all done in a timely fashion. Getting my hair colored based on my natural color and what I had previously done with my hair shows that Taylor takes the time to know his clients and their needs. He was diligent and attentive to detail, also his head-massage was an unexpected super-relaxing treat after washing. The color and final result after blow-drying was just what I wanted and very pleased with it. I highly recommend Taylor for whatever "hair adventure" you want to go for. ?❤
    Thank you so much for your lovely words, Timeea! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your hair and the overall service you received from Taylor. We look forward to seeing you again soon :)

    Now , all I wanted was to say "hi " to my awesome hairdressers Garry and Heather who cut and coloured my hair for years back in Oxford , so I was visiting Edinburgh and walked into their salon and they were holding an event " Kebelo " which transforms your hair . I was so impressed by the demo and education and I consider myself as mega fussy . I was so lucky that Heather and Garry fit me in 2 hrs before they are actually open their salon(customer service that is !!!) Had the Kebelo treatment done , and I am loving my hair , must have treatment! It's shiny, glossy , falls easily into place , feels great ! Before it was frizzy and dry , hard to manage. So if your hair is hard to handle, that's the treatment to have . Once again , Garry and Heather are the best and I will definitely travel from London to Edinburgh again to have my hair done !

    Got my hair cut by Heather yesterday and was so pleased with my hair. She took time to chat to me and find out what I wanted to do wit my hair, what things I do with my hair and helped my understand how to help and style my hair to suit me. The attention to detail and advice given was fantastic. I would 110% recommend McGills Hairdresser to everyone. Top quality �����

    I tottally recommend this hairdressing. I'm from Barcelona and I was visiting Edimburgh for 2 weeks. I wanted to cut my hair from long to short and I was very lucky to pass by this hairdresser! Garry did an excellent job: I really loved my haircut, how well did he listen trying to meet my needs (despite my lousy spoken English) and his professional advice. I was offered coffee/tea with a tea cake :) and I had a lot of fun chatting with him. I would really love to come back anytime I cut my hair again!. Thank you very much Garry!
