Both hairdressers are always kind and friendly, with a patient and helpful approach—especially when it comes to cutting young children’s hair. The haircut was very good, and the boys really enjoyed their visit. As always, the service at Shapes Hairdressers in Portobello was professional and excellent.

Thank you!

Despite being long past closing, Clive took just as much care and attention to the cut and never felt rushed to finish despite it being a lot of hair to remove! Very happy with the haircut and will be returning again
