Cut, highlight and toner

The staff and premises are really welcoming making the experience relaxing. The stylist worked from a photograph of what I was hoping for and made changes when i asked for subtle defects. The colour is fantastic and thought the process the bleaching process was carefully monitored. A great cut especially after I had received 3 bad hair cuts so they had to work hard to successfully correct this for which I am extremely grateful. Despite the length of time this kind of treatment, bleaching toning and restyling takes the time flew past because of the salons up beat atmosphere. I am going through a lot at the moment so being treated so well with so much kindness made me feel a lot better than when I walked in! Couldn’t recommend the salon any higher 😁

It is honestly the best salon in portobello for men. So attentive, great craft and a genuinely sense of hair style. It’s only a bonus that the gentleman is so well mannered and kind. I’d only go to Shapes again.
