Reviews of Lipstick Lashes & Locks

Tina and Jenny did the hair and make up for myself, my 5 bridesmaids and my mum at my recent wedding. They travelled up to the Cairngorms for the wedding, were brilliant all through the planning (and postponing!) process and everyone commented on our beautifully done our hair and make up was. All 7 of us have fairly different hair and skin, but Tina and Jenny were brilliant at adapting. Tina did a particularly beautiful job with my sister's very curly hair. On the day, nothing was too much, including minor change and top up requests. My trial day was also a great experience. I'm so glad I chose such talented hair and make up artists!

Had done some research on hairdressers that had a bit of curly hair experience. I was not disappointed with Lipstick Lashes & Locks. Ariana was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable! As a curly haired lady, I'm used to hairdressers wanting my hair straight and cutting shorter than intended as the curl always bounces up. Ariana took time to listen to how I wash and style my curls, guided me with the best way to colour and tone it and cut to suit my curl pattern (wet and dry cutting), even the seats assist with curly hair drying as they lie back. So happy with the results. Finally I have found a hairdresser who knows how to work natural curls. Happy customer, will definitely visit again.

I've been getting my hair cut here for years. I like it so much I came back and got a haircut here 6 months after moving to England. I have curly hair and they know how to handle that here. It's also refreshing to have rock music playing on the radio instead of chart music like in many hairdressers. That said, it's a nice quiet salon. They have a student discount too.

I had trimming with Tina. It was easy to communicate with her, and I love my hair!

Today I had my first experience in this salon, and it might be the last. I do apologise for doing this review but something has to be said. I went with good intentions of trying this salon which I have always seen since I work nearby and I have read great review of the place. However, my experience was not all positive. I went there with the idea of getting a dark copper balayage with some copper highlight in the middle and having already a blonde/light copper balayage, I thought it would have been easy. I didn't want any bright colour as I wanted a change. So, I showed them pictures and discussed together the colour. The girl who did my hair consulted her colleague to see which colour was the best to use. Both of them saw a purple base in the picture, which I did not notice, but I said to myself, they are the expert and I let them do it. I spent almost three hours in the salon and I ended up having a colour I did not plan to have: my hair are a mix of red, bright/dark purple. There is some copper, but you really have to look for it. I liked the colour, but it was not what I wanted nor what I asked. I did not want something bright and yet you can see my head miles away. At the end, I said that maybe she should have added some dark colour in the mix, so the girl noticed that I was not completely happy with the outcome and she asked me if I had time to stay and maybe do some dark colour in the middle. But after three hours I had to go to work. In addition to this, I did not have a proper blow dry. I don't know If I had to ask for it but she just dry it without giving any volume to the hair and the edge of my hair felt so dry. Not mentioning that the hair in the front were still a bit humid and weren't dry properly. The girl then offered me to take another appointment, which I Kindly refused. She was kind and I know she tried her best to please me, but unfortunately, it was not a success. As I said, I can stand the colour, but was nothing like what I asked for.

Relieved to find a knowledgeable and gentle curly hairstylist. I have 3b/3C hair and this was my first cut out of lockdown (over one year). Tina gave a wonderful dry cut and asked good questions regarding my preferences of products & care. I felt in good hands all throughout. Would def recommend to other naturally curly people!

M. C.

Had a great curly cut by Amy who was very friendly and attentive. Very sweet little salon - quiet and relaxing. This was my first post-lockdown haircut and it was a great experience. Highly recommend to everyone, esp. curly people!

I was lucky enough to have Lipsticks, Lashes and Locks do the hair and make-up styling for my wedding and I cannot recommend them enough! They did an excellent job on myself, my bridesmaids and mother - all of whom had different needs and styles. They talk through the hair and make-up in a way that's easy to understand and tailored to each individual which was great for me, as I don't often wear make-up! They are also incredibly good fun and made the getting ready part of my wedding day really fun and memorable.

Really great to find a curly hair specialist in Edinburgh that does dry cuts.

Had my hair cut by Tinaand I've come away feeling so much more confident! I have very thick, coarse, curly hair and find it very hard to find someone who can cut it well and understands my hair type! Tine gave me so much good advice in how to let my curls grow and define better. Would definitely recommend!

M. B.

Love this place for curly hair. This is the first place I've been to in Edinburgh where they've known about the curly girl method and had the products to match. I had a curly fringe added and I was initially skeptical because all curls have to adjust after a cut but after the first wash I was ecstatic with how they turned out. It's a really lovely salon and Amy did a fantastic job.

J. T.

I really love this salon. It's reasonably priced, the staff are lovely, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I don't usually enjoy getting my hair cut but hete it is a nice experience!

A. K.

Very cosy atmosphere, the girls are so friendly and they give you so many great advices for curly hair! 💙

L. E.

Just had a curly cut yesterday with Amy. The shop was set up really well with limited numbers and in line with all current recommendations. First curly cut and the first haircut I've had where someone actually understood my hair and cut it to what it looks like everyday not what it looks like for 10 minutes after you walk out. I absolutely love it thank you 😊

K. S.

The best haircut I've had in a long time. I have a frizzy, damaged hair that needed a refresh. Amy did a great job and gave my hair a new life. I have my lovely, defined curls back now! I will be back for sure.

E. S.

Lovely salon with talented and friendly staff. I have been getting my hair cut by Amy for a while now and love the way she does my hair. She is very sweet and chatty and understands what I like. The salon has a relaxed feel and the staff are very accommodating. This is the only salon I've ever repeatedly returned to.

D. W.

I love going into this salon, great atmosphere and the loveliest staff. I had my hair coloured by Tina and it was the best colour I've ever had (and I've had a few!). So vibrant and has lasted amazingly well. Will definitely be back for another colour / haircut. Thanks Tina - amazing job

E. B.

Love getting my hair done with Amy! She is so sweet and knowledgeable. I know I’m in good hands with her! Recommend to all my curly friends!

P. B.

Booked a haircut here firstly for the quirky retro decor. The salon is amazing and everybody so friendly. Wasn't too sure what I wanted done as it was my first haircut in a year - and always a bit scary trying somewhere new! Loretta put me instantly at ease and seemed to know what I wanted even though I wasn't sure myself! I've ended up with a gorgeous style I love and am completely chuffed to bits with. Really relaxing atmosphere, great chat with the girls and a lovely cup of tea to boot. Already booked my next appointment and looking forward to it. 😍😍😍😍😍

E. F.

Super lucky to get an on the day appointment post covid madness! I had suuuper long crispy hair which Ariana kindly chopped off and styled into a beautiful pixie cut! Very very very happy with the chop, beautiful salon and lovely staff that were kind, professional and excellent at their job - especially with managing all the Corona madness. Hats off to you ladies you're doing great and see you again soon!

L. S.

I've had my hair cut repeatedly here, in a very short curly style that's difficult to get right - but Tina and the team have got it right every time! I love going here for the cuppa, chat, and great haircuts. They're really affordable too, having paid £50 for a crap haircut in the past, I really appreciate it! My favourite hairdresser so far!

C. D.

Love my new haircut! If you have curly hair the search for a hairdresser who knows how to cut it can me a very long one. Tina is amazing and my hair looks better than it has done for years! Xx

L. T.

Great hairdresser. Amy nd Tina are fab with curly hair and Amy is lovely and fab with dye. Wouldn't use anyone else for my curly hair

E. P.

Today I received the best haircut I've ever had. I'm curly, and spent my teens avoiding haircuts because they felt so unflattering. Spent years struggling to find someone who could cut it in a flattering manner that let the curls do their bouncy thing. Eventually I assumed I was trying to get something that didn't exist. But the ladies at Lipstick Lashes & Locks have listened so carefully, and been so patient. I have exactly what I've always wanted - thank you!

A. L.

I've been going here for a few years now. All I've ever had is a wet cut, usually when I've let my grow so out of shape it's a mess! Tina though makes an excellent job of restoring it. In fact it's one of the best haircuts I've ever had. Very reasonable prices. Comfortable friendly salon. Would definitely recommend.

D. O.

Super friendly quirky salon - very happy to have found Tina and her team. Vintage hair styles are her speciality and I have enjoyed every visit to this small salon which has a huge heart. Totally recommended. The orange 1960s typewriter is a great piece of wall art! Can I give 6 stars please?

R.

The whole team here are amazing! I always feel welcome and leave with a smile on my face. I'm incredibly fussy, especially about my hair, but Amy always does such an amazing job. And all my makeup and special styling appointments with Jenny and Tina have been absolutely phenomenal as well!

J. C.

I got the best haircut of my life at this place! Very friendly staff and they know how to deal with wavy/curly hair.

J. E.

I have been going to this salon since it opened at Causewayside and highly recommend it! Tina and Loretta a super friendly and are always really accommodating when I nip in for a fringe trim or last minute cut. I have really thick wavey hair and they always cut it really well and style it beautifully. If you are looking for a new hairdresser in the area I would definitely give them a try.

A. C.

Tina sorted me right out, even with me changing my mind at the last minute. I got 2 cuts in 40 minutes! If you've got curly hair, this is your go to. I've received loads of compliments on my hair & this might be the best cut I've ever had. And the wallpaper is going to keep you entertained.

L. B.

I love my new haircut and particularly my improved fringe. Everyone at this salon is really lovely. I decided to visit after reading the excellent reviews and now I am trying to think of events I need to make an effort for as an excuse to go back before my next cut. Also looking forward to seeing the new salon.

O. D.

Love this place and I'm now a regular to the salon...I was struggling to find a place that could do my fringe cut or 'Bettie Bangs' the way I wanted...well Tina and the Girls can and i'm always delighted with my cut and colour. Also- they offer great advice around general hair care. Would highly recommend to go and get your barnet done here- especially if your a vintage girl or fella. I have sent 4 of my friends here and they have all thanked me for the recommendation :-) Also Tina and the girls are super friendly & go the extra mile to make you feel at ease & pampered.

C. L.

My favourite hairdressers in Edinburgh! Eclectic decor, lovely staff and cute teacups and popcorn. Tina is amazing with my curly/wavy hair and I always leave happy with my cut!

S.

I got my curly hair (2c) cut here a few weeks ago and I still love it. They knew exactly how to handle my curls and gave me great product recommendations.

N. A.

Dog friendly and a great atmosphere - I always have a great experience when I visit. So nice to finally have a regular hair dresser again, who I trust completely and am always thrilled with the finish. Great value, fabulous service and they know how to have fun with colour!

T. R.

Great cut, lovely staff, nice atmosphere :-)

Stylist very patient and gave great advice. Really happy with my curly cut.

l. B.

Just had my wedding trial after looking everywhere to try and find someone to do lovely vintage hair. Look no further, this place is amazing!!! So friendly and they really know how to do beautiful hair! Thanks so much!!!

K. U.

I had a naturally curly cut with Amy. She did an incredible job and was SO lovely. Also the products she used were fab and smelled amazing

E. S.

I remember locks and lashes since before it existed and I used to be thin. I just fancied a change. I live across the road. No one told me they were curly specialists. Anyway now I'm not young, not thin, but I do have great hair, even a month after the last cut.. Loads of Pepe have commented how good I look... Like in the dove advert ...

D. M. S.

Took me two years in Edinburgh to find a good hairdresser. Finally I found Tina who manage my hair perfectly. Highly recommended.

F. G.

For everything vintage concerning make-up and hair this is the place. Warm and friendly staff with plenty of experience. Prices are affordable and I always feel fabulous when I leave. They also stock the excellent vintage make-up, 'Besame. Love this salon!

A. M.

Fifties style decor in a wee salon that offers a wide range of hair and beauty services. Anything from traditional fifties styles (including makeover photoshoot options) to colouring, conventional styling, and superb lash and brow services. The local community is served as well as visitors in search of a novel look. Very friendly.

S. F.

Got a cut and baylage by Amy a few weeks ago and I'm still so OBSESSED!!! It was my first time going here but it definitely won't be my last! Having my curly hair treated with so much care was incredible 🥺 Amy was super nice and answered all my silly questions and I'm sooo thankful!!! You guys are awesome!

L. M.

Tina is a curl maestro. I left with the most amazing head of curls and styling tips that I honestly were in ignorance off. Thank you also to Delma who is a credit. X

A. M.

My hair was styled into Hollywood waves just like I asked for. Great conversation and the style held up well all night. Thank you!

M. G.

Really pleased with the hair cut. I love it! I strongly recommend this place for people with curly hair.

R. M.

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Thanks Tina for not listening to me and cutting off my 'luscious-locks-not'...best haircut I've had in years. If you are looking for an image change without having to talk about the weather ;D...Lipstick Lashes & Locks is your place to go. See you soon girls.

l. f.

Always get a great haircut for Lipstick Lashes & Locks! Had haircuts by both Tina and Amy and both are great stylist and always such friendly nice service!!

M. B.

Really loved it here, Tina did a brilliant job on my very curly hair and made me feel so welcome. Will definitely be back

H. E.

Make-up tutorial from Kirsty was warm, personal, professional, educational and practical at once. Learnt more in 2 hrs than from 4 decades of magazine articles, inc choosing make-up colours and products to suit my complexion, application techniques, and how to emphasise my best features while minimising my lesser-favoured ones. Astounding and a little emotional to see my younger-day features returning to life, without a trace of a mask-like appearance and not a hint of product-selling. Can't thank Kirsty enough for her skills and teaching expertise, and can't wait to try out what she's taught me.

J. A.

Love the place!❤️ Staff are wonderful, styling is fabulous. Updated: still amazing! 😁

D. C.

Always awesome, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent if you're fed up of hairdressers who don't know how to handle your hair (super curly/super thick/etc)

M. M.

Fantastic hairdressing salon. Warm friendly, but professional staff who are extremely talented! Highly recommend.

N. M.

My first time having a curly cut, and I will definitely be back! Ariana explained how I would need to care for my curls at home during the haircut, and I now feel much more confident looking after my hair. Thank you!

T. M.

Just started visiting this hairdressers as it's just around the corner from my work. Could not be happier with the haircut they gave me. Had a good laugh as a bonus!

J. D.

I have finally found my forever hairdresser! Gggg

N. F.

Clearly, as the name suggests, this is a boutique aimed at ladies looking for a retro look and feel. But as a gent, she gave me a very dapper haircut too.

J. A.

Fantastic haircut and the owner is really friendly. Great for alternative styles as well, and competitively priced.

L. B.

I've been going to Tina for a while now. Cut and coloured today, just love it. All the girls are lovely and it's a very relaxed and friendly salon. Never disappointed. Happy Christmas girls.

I am annoyed with myself that I didn’t research a curly hair specialist sooner as they really know what they are doing and give great care advice.

A. J.

Always friendly staff and always love my colour by Tina.

A. R.

Dalma was lovely and gentle with my thin hair, she added so much volume to my hair that usually is flat and tired looking. She gave me a lot of advice and recommended some products to achieve the look I want. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I think they really understand how to deal with curly and chaotic hair. Will definitely come back!

L. C.

I had a great experience thanks to Amy as always

During lockdown, I started embracing my curls again and finally decided to get my first curly cut this week! Amy was amazing, she listened to what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable! She asked about what products I used, and gave me some tips based on my hair type. She did a mixture of dry and wet cutting, and I love how it turned out! I’ll definitely be booking another appointment in a few months 💕
