Award Winning Haircuts, Styles & Hair Colour at McGills Hairdressing in Edinburgh

Hi, Ross Shand here, I'd like to tell you about my recent visit and appointment at Mcgills, Hairdressing Salon, Edinburgh, on 16th September 2026. When I arrived I was warmly greeted by Gary and Heath...er (Owners) and Rachel (my daughter). I was booked in for a gents haircut and style.. with Rachel.. who is progressing tremendously within the Business. Coffee and biscuits followed, and my haircut was excellent, carried out with precision and care, and super attention to detail, all in, I was very impressed. All staff are very friendly, efficient and welcoming. Mcgills is a brilliant Hairdressing Salon, in a very good central, city centre location, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Emma actually nails it every time. After searching for a really long time to find a hairdresser in Edinburgh I trust, I finally found her! She’s the best. HIGHLY recommend.

Get a blow drys done here from time to time by Taylor, she always does a excellent job and and a great head massage.Very nice saloon, lovely staff.

Rachel did a fantastic job with my cut and color. It’s everything I wanted and more!

Had a wonderful experience with Ems. She really took the time to listen and clarify what I wanted, especially as it was my first visit to this salon. I got exactly the cut we discussed with tips on ho...w to style and maintain it. Will most definitely be back! read more

Tamara did a great job, I love the colour and cut. Thank you.

I saw Sarah (Trichologist) as I had some issues with dandruff and redness on the scalp. Sarah was very knowledgeable and advised a treatment plan which made a difference straight away, I would highly...recommend Sarah. read more

I went in to tidy / freshen a slightly uneven DIY haircut and Tamara was great -- she really listened to what I wanted, she shaped it up really nicely while keeping the length which was exactly what I... wanted, and she gave me recommendations on how to style it with tools / products. Would go again if I lived in Edinburgh 🙂 read more

Came to mcgills after a complete disaster job at another salon. Hollie is an absolute saving grace and did an amazing repair. I felt so well looked after the whole time and she continued to explain tr...eatments and the different parts of the process as we went along, making me feel cared for as well understanding what she was doing. Both the entire experience and the end result were totally 5 stars. Thank you so much Hollie <3 read more

Great haircut by Emma, absolutely love it! If I could give more than 5 stars I would

McGills are a brilliant salon. All the girls are fantastic and it’s a genuinely fabulous experience from start to finish. Emma has been working on my hair for the last year. She’s incredibly talented...and I’ve never been so happy with my colour. Thanks to all the team! read more

I got my hair cut today and I was scared to come into a new hairdresser since I have curly hair but Ellie did a phenomenal job. She was very patient and attentive as to what i wanted and made sure tha...t I was happy with the final cut adjusting anything as needed. Due to a change in hairdresser they booked me for a slot 15 minutes later than I was supposed to be, so they gave me a free hair treatment as compensation which I didn’t even expect as 15 minutes is not that long but it was a nice benefit. The service and staff are great. Highly recommend (especially for curly hair)! read more
