The place is small and only 2 people can be taken cared of at a time, but if you go at certain times you won't need to wait. (You'll have to become a regular at this place to find that info for yourself ) The 2 barbers here welcomes everyone's and are skilled at what they do. Tell them what you want and they'll cut your hair the way you like. If you're not happy and you want more trimmings and cutting, they'll do it for you until your satisfied. If you like getting the typical fohawk, trim, haircut, or shave, they can do it for you. Haircut starts at £9 and if you're a student with a card it's £8. These guys enjoy what they are doing and take pride with what they do. Since I'm a regular, I've gotten to know them so it's always nice to get my haircut. Even if they are busy and tired they always have a big smile on their face and ready to welcome you!

After my Barber retired shortly before the pandemic I was left searching for a new place to go. In…read moreEdinburgh there is no shortage of barbers and hairdressers and I certainly tried a few before I came across The Players Lounge in Rose Street. From my first visit to my most recent, I've been given the warmest of welcomes and excellent service! The folks there offer a variety of services including hot towel shaves, facials and Indian head massage but the haircut is their staple! From a consultation on what you'd like to the end product, you won't leave disappointed. I first booked a hot towel shave to be done by Graeme and as I'd never had one before he talked me through the service and after a few more visits, it was time for a haircut, going from barber to barber for a while had taken its toll on my confidence of allowing someone new to cut my hair but Graeme, asked me what style I'd like, how I'd had it cut in the past etc and he gave me a haircut that I was thoroughly happy with! My confidence was restored Thanks Graeme!!! I'd thoroughly recommend The Players Lounge to anybody looking for a fantastic men's salon in the heart of the Scottish Capital. Can't wait to go back already :))

Given that's it's a fairly high end place. At under £10 for a beard trim, I expected to be in and out the door without much attention. The reality was quite the opposite. Got plenty of advice and guidance (which I really do need) and certainly look a lot smarter now (I think anyway). I'd planned to only visit as a one-off, but suspect I'll be back again soon.

Quick chat with Luke to ask about what I was looking for and then straight to it. While it was a simple cut with clippers, the dedication and detail was excellent. The shave was next and following me having a shave only 3 days before, there wasn't much for him to take off. The shave was excellent and when my face went cold, another hot towel was applied to make sure I was comfortable. All in all a great experience and now my go to barber whenever I am back home in Scotland. I will be back!!

I'd definitely come back if I was around town again!

Not having much luck in this endeavor, i looked up and saw the striped pole, on the wall of #137 Rose Street. I told my friends I'd catch up and stepped up and in to a cute, immaculate shop and met the loveliest barber, named Lynne. I asked if she might be available and how much a skin fade cut would cost. "25" was her reply and i sat right down. I received exactly the cut i desired, by capable, deft, experienced hands and enjoyed wonderful conversation and walked away a new ultra satisfied Rose Sreet Barber customer. It gets better... Not realizing that this fine men's salon d'coiffure was strictly a cash operation and did not accept e-payments; I found myself in the embarrassing position of having no local currency. This pretty propreitor surprised me and accepted my U.S. dollar$, at the exchange rate she found on her phone. What began as a happen-stance encounter by a shaggy 'yank' from Texas turned into the best haircut, on the other side of the world and a grand cultural experience. Go see Lynne, at Rose Street Barber for a great cut, great international style and truly great service‼ Tell her Gary sent you.

Newington is certainly not short of hairdressers. There are a number of salons, particularly along…read morethe main thoroughfare of South Clerk Street / Clerk Street / Nicholson Street. There are a few barbers dotted around, and Bailey's Barber Shop is, in my opinion, a cut above the rest. I first discovered Bailey's in the first year of my degree, while I was living in the Newington area of town. They quickly established themselves as my barber of choice. There was rarely a wait for a haircut, and I often went by on my way into lectures. The barbers themselves were chatty, and always gave me the haircut that I wanted. This, combined with the ideal location, meant that I continued to come back here for the first couple of years of my degree before I moved to the other side of town. Prices are reasonable, with a student discount available. For someone like me, whose hair grows at a fair rate, using a salon would not be cost-effective. Bailey's Barber Shop provided me with a great haircut each time, and I would highly recommend them.

This review is based on their customer services only and not their haircut outcome because…read moreunfortunately the manger cancelled the appointment I made hours before it was due to happen with zero help in finding an alternative. I had booked an appointment for a "Restyle" for my nephew and was willing to pay the $72 to get him a hair transformation. The appointment was booked and I got a call from their London location letting me know that her son was sick and she was unable to accommodate. When I explained we were heading back to America the following day and unable to move the appointment all that I was told was "sorry everyone else is busy ", when I asked if someone from the location could call me and help me with names of other barbers for me to try to reschedule at I was told "sorry they are all too busy". I would have expected much better service from a place with this reputation- Shame on them for being so flippant about the commitment they had made. Clearly I would never recommend this establishment who has zero customer service skills
