The new year is a natural time to reset, and for many clients, that starts with their hair. At McGills Hairdressing in Edinburgh, we focus on thoughtful changes that feel modern, manageable, and tailored to you. Whether you are considering a new cut, a colour update, or hair extensions, our experienced team will help you choose a style that works now and grows well over time.
What haircut trends work best for a fresh start in the new year?
A new haircut can change the shape, movement, and overall feel of your hair. Rather than chasing trends, our stylists recommend cuts that suit your face shape, hair texture, and daily routine.
Modern layered cut
Soft, well-placed layers add movement and reduce heaviness without losing length. This style is ideal if your hair feels flat or difficult to manage and works well for both fine and thicker hair types.
Precision bob or long bob
A bob or longer “lob” creates a clean, polished finish. This cut suits clients looking for structure and definition while remaining easy to style and maintain between appointments.
Which hair colour changes feel fresh but still natural?
A colour refresh does not need to be dramatic to make an impact. Subtle tonal changes can improve shine, depth, and overall hair condition.
Balayage remains a popular choice because it creates a natural blend with softer regrowth. A refreshed balayage going a few shades lighter than your usual colour can brighten your look while keeping maintenance low, making it ideal for the start of a new year.
Why choose hair extensions for a new year transformation?
Hair extensions are a versatile option if you want visible change without waiting for your hair to grow.
At McGills Hairdressing, our 100% human hair extensions are used to add length, thickness, or volume while blending seamlessly with your natural hair. They are ideal for clients wanting a noticeable update or extra fullness without compromising hair health.
Why a professional consultation makes all the difference
Every service at McGills Hairdressing begins with a detailed consultation. This allows our stylists to assess hair condition, discuss maintenance, and recommend the most suitable cut, colour, or hair extension service for long-term results.
