I have been going to Byers & Birrell for my cut and colour for a while now and cannot recommend them highly enough. Amanda is amazing at delivering what you want! I have previously used other high end Glasgow salons but B&B is above and beyond.... lovely staff and lovely coffee too!

You don't need to look anywhere else once you visit this fabulous salon. I am fussy however Derek works miracles and I would never go anywhere else. Customer service is high on the agenda and you get a very warm welcome when you first set foot in Byers & Birrell . Derek treats you like a long lost friend and everyone who works there is always extremely pleasant with a smile on their face. Therefore give it a go and you won't be disappointed ;)

Derek has been tending to my hair since circa 1992 before and during Byers & Birrell life where I have also been attended very well to by Elise on many occasion also.
Professional and friendly service but I have to add that they’re like a family also,... most welcoming.
A lovely place to go and I also speak on my mother’s behalf as she probably visits on a weekly occurrence and enjoys every trip there.
Can’t say anymore than that. A+

After bouncing around Salons in both Edinburgh and Glasgow I’m now a loyal customer of this great Salon. Staff are super friendly, know their stuff and have given me complete confidence in hairdressers after having a few really bad experiences at other “top” establishments. Can’t recommend Nicola, Derek and the Team highly enough!

Burnt my hair off

Anonymous

Absolutely awful, it cost me £140 to get my hair died blonde. They burnt off the top layer of hair on my head and knew when they were drying it that they had done it as you can see it in the ‘after’ picture in the salon. I went back in to the salon and they refused to give me my £140 and said they would give me free hair treatments (not including Olaplex or anything that would help). However after 4 treatments the hairdresser Lisa said that she would have to start charging me for them as her manager wouldn’t give her into trouble even though she BURNT my hair off. Absolutely shocking hairdressing, customer service & overall professionalism. I would strongly advise staying well away from them.

Both of us liked very much the changes to the Salon and in particular the comfort of the new chairs.
I also felt that new lower reception desk was more friendly creating less of a barrier.
They say that "People make Glasgow " and that is true for Buyers and Birrell. I hope that everyone at B& B enjoys the changes and continue to make B& B the success it is.
