Salon Reviews – Edinburgh

Excellent service as always!

Highly recommend anyone looking for a colour correction to come to the amazing Hollie - she took my box-dyed black hair to a gorgeous honey brown balayage in one sitting. Super professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole half-day process! Thank you so much again to everyone at McGills and especially Hollie who did such a stellar job ❤️

Amazing service. Love my hair! Thank you

Had a fantastic consultation with Aimee today! As someone who has never had their hair coloured before, I was a little unsure what to expect, but Aimee was absolutely brilliant. She took the time to ask lots of questions, listened to what I wanted and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. Really friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Such a positive first experience, and I'm now really looking forward to getting my hair done. Thank you

Hollie cut my fringe and did a fabulous job! Could not be more satisfied with the results, she is great.

Chloe was great as always

Emma is a lovely girl who chats away and make you feel very comfortable during your visit. Also Chloe she makes you feel very welcome and is so friendly.

I have been a happy customer for many years. Every member of staff is confident and creative with my curly hair. The products are ideal for my skin and hair needs, but also so eco-friendly (including discounts on refills for reusing bottles). You can tell that this salon respects both its customers and its staff team. Last but certainly not least, the expert care for my scalp has been life-changing. I recommend McGills to everyone!

As someone who always feels quite awkward talking to a hairdresser, I wasn’t looking forward to me trying to explain to Toria what I wanted. I shouldn’t have worried, from first going in the shop and chatting with Toria, who made it so easy to be understood with her knowledge of styles that would suit and of colours and hair products that would help me and my unruly hair!I had the best haircut I’ve had in a long time and can’t wait to go to my next one and start a brand new journey. Thanks Toria xox

Had a great time the other day getting my haircut from Rachel. She listened to what I asked and the results were great. Would definitely recommend

Toria was so friendly and accommodating. She was attentive too, listened to everything I asked for, and I came away with a haircut I love.

Thee best hairdresser (Heather and team) in Edinburgh. Excellent understanding of my fine thin hair. Eco-aware ++ I couldn’t ask for more! 23.10.26 Hair thoroughly washed and rinsed at the nape of my neck which sometimes doesn’t happen. Lovely head massage. Felt bad I had no tip for the lovely nearly qualified junior whom I’ve forgotten the name of. Owner always does a fantastic job: she knows my hair inside and out. Having a loyalty treatment in between my regular appointments. Good chat about my next colour appointment too.

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 Heather (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. Ross Shand

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.

Hi to all the team at Mcgills, I would just like to post a wee review of my recent appointment on 16th September. As always the service, attention, expertise, and of course the "banter" were all excellent. My Stylist was Rachel, and my haircut was brilliant, with great attention to detail. Everyone in the salon is so friendly and welcoming, and proficient. Look forward to my next visit, in the meantime, onwards and upwards, you are all brilliant, Kind regards, Ross.

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 how to style and maintain it. Will most definitely be back!

My experiences at mcgills hairdressing have always been so welcoming and wonderful. Hollie is an amazing hardworking hairdresser who is incredibly precise and always pays such close attention to detail. She also does an absolutely killer bouncy blowout!

The whole team is so lovely and welcoming, and i always leave feeling amazing. i couldn’t recommend Hollie and the team at mcgills enough!!

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