    This little, neat and impressively well presented place is extremely easy to miss. So much so, that…read moreI had been living just around the corner from it and walked past it numerous times without actually noticing it. Luckily, a friend recommend it to me. So off I waddled along the road - opposed to the twenty minute walk to my Hair Design usual. As mentioned above, the venue is nice, clean and well presented. It has a lovely atmosphere, the prices are reasonable and the staff are really friendly, quick and efficient. Though, I only had a trim in here - good as it was - so will need to get back to you with an update as to how they are with a proper chop and/or dye job.

    I have been looking for a new hairdresser for over a year due to moving from Edinburgh to Glasgow…read more I started (unfortunately) at the other end to Anns and have tried various including Karen Brookes, KZ to no avail. On the spur of the moment I got an appt. yesterday 13th Nov and wow what a lovely ambience, friendly and welcoming salon and a great cut and blow dry!! A bit more expensive than where I have been trying but worth every penny!! I have already booked for my colour next month and hopefully will be a regular customer. Cannot praise this salon enough and with being an ex hairdresser( a long time ago) I felt welcomed and at ease as though I was a regular already and not my first visit. Thank you ladies.

    Alan Edwards is a very swanky hair salon on Fenwick Road, aimed at "ladies who lunch" and wear…read moresunglasses even when it's dark and drive a shiny black Mercedes. I don't get my hair cut here but if gets a really good name and my aunt gets her new do in her regularly. One of my friends has been going here since she was about 9 and always goes here to get her hair styled for a party or special ocassion and her hair always looks amazing. The prices range depending on who is cutting your barnet. For a stylist it's £30, senior stylist £40 and by the creative director it's £50. They also do hair conditioning and replenishing treatments that start from a whopping £100. A very modern salon, very organised and not a hair out of place. Literally.

    Despite living in Glasgow for about 3.5 years (collectively), I haven't had the greatest luck with…read morehair stylists. This is surprising because there seems to be as many salons dotted about the city as there are pubs. Either you need to remortgage your house for meh results, your hair gets butchered, or the stylist bullies you into dyeing your already black hair black. Fortunately, I'm not one of those girls who cries when it comes to their hair, and my hair grows like. a. weed. After the bullying incident at another Merchant City salon, I thought I'd wait until I was back in NYC to get my hair done. Except my hair became annoyingly long, and that's where Chloe at Alan Edwards came to the rescue. Cute and quirky, she was exactly the opposite of the stylist during my last salon experience (*cough* Chesne). She actually listened to what I wanted, did not roll her eyes when I showed her a picture of the shape (a long bob), nor did she try and bully me into dying my hair or try to sell me products that I didn't need (though I did end up buying the Kérastase volume spray because it smells DIVINE!). My haircut was actually part of an itison deal, but after my experience and subsequent visits (I have since gone much shorter with trust), I would not hesitate to pay full price for the quality of service received. I think Alan Edwards Merchant City and Chloe might be a keeper... just might!

Essensuals staff are great - they'll chat, they'll bring you tea/coffee, they'll even cut your hair! As a Toni and Guy Academy, you might think this place won't give 5-star service, but it really does (I was a regular here for 3 years until my hairdresser, who had started out as a junior, moved up through the ranks to a senior stylist). My first ever haircut here was as a 'hair model' - a.k.a. for freeee - and I've never looked back. Students - you also get 40% your first cut with a snapfax... waaaay!

    My hair life is fraught with misery and despair…read more I've paid £13 for a crappy haircut in London. I've paid £50 for a crappy haircut in London. My recent £38 crappy haircut in London (a self-esteem crippling pixie/shag/mullet hybrid) has been growing out for a couple months now, and I figured that while I was in Glasgow I might as well splash out on a crappy haircut, as it certainly would be less costly than its counterparts in England's capital have been. And I stepped into Essensuals. Sure, there are Essensuals in London, but I was feeling good about this little salon on St Vincent, around the corner from Glasgow Central Station - I mean, how could I go wrong by picking the closest salon to the station where my Glasgow-bound train from London dropped me off . . . ? I admit, this was a hasty choice, and I was fully prepared for the worst. But what I got was the best. I sat down, and my stylist and I pulled the pins that were previously hiding my haircut shame out of my hair, and she started running her hands through my hair (I swear with a baffled look on her face, unless I was imagining it). "What would you like done today?" "I got this awful haircut a while back, and I hate it." "What do you hate about it?" "Mostly the fact that it looks like a mullet." And so after some more discussion, we came to the conclusion that we'd bob it. I was fine with this, although still not expecting much. But the stylist took her time as she snipped through my hair, many times over. She commented on the sheer thickness of my hair, yet she never took out a pair of thinning sheers (this is my litmus test of good stylists). The end result was fabulous. She asked if I wanted anything changed at the end, and I made a non-committal statement about my fringe looking a bit too perfect; she chopped into it to make it a bit more funky and undone. Ultimately, I'm no longer embarrassed of my hair, and, for a Londoner at least, £40 for the amount of time I got in the cutting chair was a bargain. Unfortunately since I can't afford the £120 train tickets every month or so, the hunt for a salon in London continues.
