About us

"Our business is helping you to look and feel fantastic".

Where artistry, science and hairdressing meet, you find rainbow room international. Scotland’s hair colour experts (all of our stylists have Schwarzkopf colour master degrees), we were the first in the country to use foils, and to consider face shape, skin tone and eye colour when creating client looks.

Our artistic team is often first-choice to style celebrity hair at major events such as the mobos, london fashion week, T in the park and the MTV EMAs. What we love the most is giving every one of the 10,000 clients who visit our salons each month the vip treatment.

Needed to find a new hairdresser after moving. So glad I spotted Sarah Jane at Rainbow room. Never been before. Chic and friendly salon. The whole experience was a joy. Not only is Sarah friendly and informative she is also a skilled stylist. My short cut was exactly what I hoped for. Absolute bliss. Thank you so much Sarah, see you next time.

Having met Rachael last year at my first visit to Rainbow Room, Ayr, I have been back several times. Rachael is a breath of fresh air and I actually enjoy going for my appointment. I have never been someone who cared very much about my appearance and dreaded going to the hairdresser. Not anymore. Rachael listens to what I say and advises on the best cut/style and how it would look on me. I love my hairstyle and short is definitely for me. I feel comfortable and love our chats. I will definitely be back! The shiatsu head massage was just exactly what I needed at the end of a very long week. Thank you.

I returned back to RRooms , after my times before with Rhona who was lovely. I met Hannah for the first time last week, and have to say she is also fabulous & bubbly, and very professional. She will go through exactly what & how you want your hair before you even start. We looked at pictures, we talked, and got there in the end. Very patient as I couldn’t make my mind up 🙉🙈 . I will be back, with Hannah, in the future. The team are lovely & definitely work with their client. Highly Recommend. Very happy relaxed atmosphere. Thankyou x

I had a fantastic experience at Rainbow Room Ayr with Debbie for a hair restyle. As a busy working mum of two, I really need
a look that’s stylish but actually manageable in the mornings. Debbie was amazing—she really took the time to listen to my needs and understood my lifestyle perfectly. I left the salon with a fresh new look that I can actually style myself without the stress. Highly recommend Debbie if you need someone who truly listens!

Too Expensive

Gillian Gilmour
17th Jan 2026
3.0

I was really disappointed with my experience, mainly due to the pricing, time spent, and final result. I paid roughly £342 for a colour correction, £173 for a cut and colour, and £140 for a colour, which I feel is extremely expensive for what was delivered.
I specifically asked for blonde hair and understand that achieving blonde can take time and multiple sessions. However, there was too much back-and-forth during the appointment, which made the process feel disorganised and inefficient.
Despite the time and cost, I still didn’t achieve the blonde result I wanted. Considering the amount paid, I expected a much closer outcome.
Hannah is friendly and professional, but treatments are often added automatically, which significantly increases the final bill without always being clearly discussed beforehand. This made the overall experience feel uncomfortable and lacking transparency.
Overall, I left feeling disappointed and overcharged. Clearer communication around expectations, organisation, and pricing would greatly improve the experience.

Good evening,
I’d just like to leave a review for an assistant, Ava that works in the Ayr salon. 
I’ve had the pleasure of being looked after by Ava since she started at the Rainbow Room in Ayr and she has been absolutely fantastic. She’s always really cheerful and bubbly, which instantly makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Her professionalism really stands out, especially for someone so early in her career. Ava is attentive, confident, and clearly takes great pride in her work.
The salon’s shiatsu head massages are a real highlight, and Ava is exceptional at them, genuinely relaxing and done with care. I’ve had my hair blow-dried by Ava on many occasions and have always been extremely happy with the results. She listens, takes her time, and consistently delivers a polished finish. Ava is a real credit to the Rainbow Room team, and I look forward to seeing her continue to grow and succeed in the salon.
A big thank you to Ava for making my salon experiences so enjoyable.

Kind regards,
Anneliese Allison
