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.

Mainly because I always do something drastic with my hair, or have a lovely massage. This being my favourite salon because it's an Aveda Salon, I try to come in here as much as possible. The amazing thing about this place are their Last minute deals on their website. I managed to scoop up a cut and style and a manicure both at discounted prices, both perfectly last minute before new years eve! I started my day of beauty with a shellac manicure. Typically, I go to these wham bam thank you ma'am kind of nail salons that are looking for a quick turnover. I was in shock when i was led down to the massage area of the salon and was given a manicure in one of the massage rooms. It was so peaceful and relaxing and the nail technician was friendly to boot. It's a rare occasion that any nail technician is chatty, let alone honestly seems like she cares about what you're saying. It was a nice touch. Next, she did my eyebrows, which were in desperate need of a good shaping. Again, another relaxing experience, everything was sanitary and clean, unlike other places in Glasgow that I've been to before. After I had my nails and brows done, i was led back upstairs to meet Jade, the stylist who did my hair. I always go in to Aveda when I want a change, and this time was no different. I was taken by an assistant who offered a complimentary head massage while I waited for Jade. Usually, I can take those or leave them, but I'm glad I took her up on the offer. With just enough pressure, she massaged my head and it was like heaven. I was just getting over a chest cold that was holding on for dear life, so it felt really nice to be pampered for a bit. She then took me over to wash my hair, which is always a treat, because Aveda products are by far my favourite and I always love using them. After that, the magic happened. My hair was just about past my shoulders and I decided to get an inverted bob. This style suits my face shape and it really brightens up my features. Jade is an amazing stylist, who is chatty and very confident when she's cutting hair. In between the cut and the styling, she blow dried part of my hair dry to get a better feel for how to cut it. While that was happening, the assistant offered me a hot bevvy, which I chose Hot Chocolate. She also gave me a complimentary hand massage. I was on cloud nine by the time I walked out of there. Of course I loved the end result and so did my guy, who I met for drinks after. It really was an amazing experience as always and I would highly recommend Jade as your stylist and James Dun's House as your salon!

When they cut your hair they offer free scalp and hand massages and a free make-up touch-up, so when I leave the salon I feel amazing. This Glasgow branch is very nice, very trendy and modern, but it's very much in the shadows of the Aberdeen branch and so has higher prices to boot. Although it is a lovely salon and the staff are brilliant, the prices are a bit steep. The Aberdeen branch is brilliant, however!!

I have never been so compelled to write a positive review (or any review) of a hairdresser before…read more I just got my hair cut and restyled here yesterday and I can honestly say it's the best hair cut I've ever had! This was a major change for me too, it wasn't just a little trim that anyone could have done correctly. I went from shoulder length to a slightly asymmetrical pixie cut and I couldn't be happier with the result! I've been visiting Glasgow for a few months already and I walk by Coda every day and noticed they accept walk-ins (standby appointments), so I thought why not give them a try? I first checked out reviews and others places in the area, but they seemed like the right kind of atmosphere and price for me. I don't really enjoy stuffy or stuck-up high end hair salons, as I always feel out of place and uncomfortable. That was not the case at Coda at all. When I first walked up those stone stairs to get to the actual salon that looks over Sauchiehall Street I was a bit nervous (trying new hairdressers is always a big deal, you know!). They didn't have any immediate time open, but I was asked to come back in 45 minutes and they could take me. When I got back I was greeted and taken to the chair right away by a long haired gentleman. I have never had my hair cut by a man before so this was new to me. I showed him the pictures of the pixie cut I wanted and he talked over a few of the details with me just to make sure we were both on the same page. Then he started to cut the length and the hair came flying off! I have never seen a hairdresser so meticulous and detail oriented about their work. It was a complete pleasure to have him cut my hair. I could tell that he didn't leave one single hair untouched and everything was done with absolute precision. Even the messy look I wanted styled at the end was a completely controlled chaos. He placed each tuft of hair exactly how he wanted it to make it absolutely perfect. I honestly wish I had gotten his name so I could mention him directly, but he's tall with long hair and tattoos, very nice, and obviously amazing at what he does! I can not speak for any other hairdressers there, but if they're anything like him then you're in good hands with any of them. I would most certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh and edgy new cut, because that's exactly what I got. On top of all that it was only £25 and I was informed they offer free fringe trims for returning clients. How can anyone pass that up? The only thing that bums me out about this whole experience is that I'll be leaving soon and won't get to have them as my regular hairdresser. What a shame!

The first time I visited the salon I felt a bit nervous as you do trying somewhere new but couldn't have been put more at ease by the friendly, professional staff - Taylor, Anne on reception who is also an expert on colour and knows just what suits you, Tammy who did a wonderful, natural job on the occasions I have had extensions and John whom I would recommend as the best person to blow dry your hair in Glasgow. I would also like to mention that my daughter, who is on the autistic spectrum has tried many hairdressers in the past but found it very difficult as she suffers anxiety, it got to the stage where I was cutting her hair myself. I persuaded her to try Taylor Ferguson's, she hasn't looked back, now visiting regularly and really enjoying her experience too! The customer definitely comes first in this salon.

There's so many staff in here for the amount of people who are getting their haircut, it's quite intimidating. It's gorgeous inside, with high ceilings, comfy chairs and nice mirrors. I'm not sure what criteria was employed when they decided what magazine would suit 'me' but I ended up with FHM. Intriguing. The actual end result of my haircut was very pleasing, as good as anywhere else I've been in town. Price wise though, this place is more expensive than my liking. I booked it for £24 over the phone, reduced from £41 (crazy dear for a gents haircut) but when I went to pay they tried to charge me £36. A flurry of activity down at the counter ensued which was thoroughly embarassing. Regardless, I politely explained the ins and outs and they fixed the error and charged me the price I was quoted.
