I favour this Salon for my highlights and cut from Clive.
Sorry can't remember girls name who did my colour this afternoon but she goes right in close to roots and it's a very professional result. Happy hair day from me.

Always a joy to get my hair done here.
The staff are very friendly and always happy to help when I can't decide what colour to choose.
They are very attentive as they remember conversations and always ask how I am and did I enjoy my holiday.
Highly recommend shapes to anyone who is looking for a good hairdresser and are always happy to listen ...its a nice wee touch ...wouldn't go anywherelse...

Don’t want to leave a review as I have nothing good to say.... certainly didn’t come away with the saloon ‘new hair’ feeling, very rushed, everyone else in the place (customers) even seemed miserable, more hair products than my dressing table used on my hair in one go, bashed and clattered on the head with the hairdryer, and think my hair was getting cut with a pair of nail clipper scissors ? very disappointed

I thoroughly enjoyed by experience in Shapes Salon. Mack was such a perfectionist & seemed to get job satisfaction by giving me a perfect wash and blow dry with a treatment.
The atmosphere in the salon was relaxed and cheerful. I can't wait until I book again!

TRACY & MACK

By Maggie Todd: Have done a review but unsure it registered! Tracy, as always friendly, and my colour perfect and ensures my hair is kept in tip top condition ... no fear my hair will look dried out at all. Thank you, Tracy and for having a 'good ear'. Mack cut my hair for the first time ... precisely what I asked for and she has such a friendly nature. Have made appointment again for these two ladies. Been going to Shapes for years and at some point had all the staff attending my tresses and all first class. Clive, the owner, only has the top stylists and colourists. Well done and keep up the good work. Maggie ????????

Always a warm welcome. Tracy does my colour and I am always delighted and she ensures my hair is kept in tip top condition. My hair never looks dried out after colouring. Mack cut my hair today for the first time ... perfectly cut to what my requirements were. Been going to Shapes for years and Clive, the owner, only has top stylists and colourists. Would highly recommend. Keep up the good work.

Mack cut my daughter and my own hair for the first time today and we both left very happy. She is a first class stylist as well as being very friendly. Both my daughter and I will be regular customers of Mack in the future, and I have infact already booked to come back for highlights. Angela Hunter.

As a regular customer, I wouldn't go anywhere else for the following reasons.
A) I am visually impaired and staff are so mindful but not patronising
B) staff friendly and welcomin
C) I have a few stylists who work with me and each one does a great job with my hair
D)there is a loyalty scheme and pensioner's discount

Having never dyed my hair before I was a but nervous and wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and worked on my hair until it came out as just the light green I wanted! I have dark hair naturally so I'm sure this was not a simple task. Great experience.

I have very long hair and in the past it's been hard to find a someone who will cut it nicely. Every time I've been to Shapes I love it. Everyone there is nice and friendly, the ambience is good and the prices are reasonable. Ive loved every haircut I've had there. I highly recommend it!
