    My son Sean came here in December and got a wonderful haircut! Great place, good location, and friendly and professional service.

    Great hair cut and fast. Might actually be one of the best hair cuts I have ever had. 9 quid for a standard cut at 8 for student.

    Coming from America it is rare to have the opportunity for a hot shave so I took the advantage and it was well worth the time and the money.

    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.

    First time in the city, walked right in and a gentleman by the name of Mark told me to have a seat…read moreand he would be with me in a few minutes. I told him exactly wanted and I got exactly what I asked for. He was very quick, precise and listen to me exactly how I wanted it. No complaints here if I'm ever back in the city I will definitely come back here for a fresh lineup and cut. Thank you again Mark for a job well done.

    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

    I'm here in Edinburgh for university from America, I took my chances at Ruffians & let me tell you…read moreit was one of the best haircuts I've ever received. My barber, Laura, was fantastic and she made sure my hair looked fantastic. The vibe within the barber shop was amazing, super nice people, great customer service and if I ever need my haircut again I will be coming back to Ruffians!!
