Innovate Hair Salon

First visit on reopening after the covid crisis, everything was just as it should be, well organised and laid out. Clean and a comfortable atmosphere. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you.

First haircut after lockdown and what a great experience. Wendy did her magic and gave my hair the professional touch that it was needing! Thank you so much!

I travel from Edinburgh to the salon
All staff are friendly, attentive and professional
Lynsey is amazing at her profession and listens to what you want.

I used to use normal barber's for my hair but now much prefer a cut from a professional stylist so I use Wendy at Innovate and have been for some time now. The salon is ideally suited for me being just a few minutes walk from home, its bright & clean and has a good relaxed atmosphere. The Girls are attentive and friendly and I very much enjoy the banter I have with Wendy during my session. It is obviously a salon that works well and is run well and is a credit to the owner/Manager, Alison.

Ashleigh always gives me excellent service. She has gotten to know me as a person, what I like for my hair and has advised when she thought an idea wouldn't work which is why I keep coming back to her over the years she has been my hairdresser.

Visited with my step daughter at weekend for her to get her ears done. Although a little nervous Katiya Watson was amazing giving her time to think through what earrings ect. Explaining it all step by step. Amazing experience and very patient and thoughtful through out defo recommend. I must say despite what is going on the world the atmosphere was relaxed content and was not impacted at all

First visit to salon and what an experience!!
Before my appointment I had decided thatI wanted to change my hair colour from light blonde to grey. Wendy guided me through the process and greatly assisted in choosing the correct shade for my colour tone.
I have wavy hair which I'm unable to control very well, Wendy has cut my hair in a style that works with my wave to create amazing curls with the help of new products and diffuser.
Totally transformed!!! and received many positive comments!!
Thank you Wendy for all your help.
Everyone in the salon was very friendly and encouraging especially when I was beginning to wonder if I had made the right decision with my colour change, they helped me to feel relaxed :)
Can't wait for my next visit

Wendy has been doing my hair for around 10 years now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. She never lets me leave the salon until she (and me) is completely satisfied with both colour and cut. I always leave feeling great.
Great atmosphere in the salon too. Excellent products.

Recently moved to Doloch and this was my first time visiting this salon and I’m booked in for my next two appointments with Lucy. Loving my cut an colour, thank you !!

First time in the salon, very warm welcome. Lucy was a Jem and made a great job of my hair ( I love it) will definitely be returning for next cut.

So grateful to Innovate for fitting me in last minute. ASHLEIGH was wonderful - now I have fab hair for my son's graduation tomorrow!! ? Thank you

Lucy took a lot of time with me ensuring she knew exactly what she thought I wanted .
She was brilliant and the result is perfectly spot on . Thank you

Busy salon was lucky to get an appointment. Stylist was pleasant. Not overly chatty. Wasn’t offered any aftercare advice which was a pity because I was in the market for some new high end products.

Lovely girl. Happy with my blow dry. Will book more appointments in the future as result were what I wanted xx

This was the first time in 11 years I had been to a different hair salon and Katelyn made me feel I was in capable hands and did a perfect job x

First time in the salon for me but won’t be my last. My just turned 3 year old was in for a last minute trim for first day of nursery and Katelyn had a lovely manner with my wee one making the experience enjoyable for all. Thank you.

Once all the alterations are complete will be a lovely clean space again.

Lynsey made me feel very relaxed and at ease during my appointment, Thank you x x

Can’t thank Wendy enough for the fantastic Kebelo treatment. My hair has never looked so shiny and is so much easier to style. I will definitely get this treatment thank you so much Wendy.

Really helpful and feel so much better

Great experience today. Total change for me with a much lighter colour AND a toner which previous hairdressers have never used when highlighting my hair. My long hair was cut short (to my chin) and I love it. Such a lovely change! Thanks Lucy, you made me feel really comfortable and positive!

Stylist listen to what I wanted

Lovely salon with friendly professional staff . Very good experience. Thank you.

Impressed

Katelyn gave me the most beautiful bob with balayage today. She was friendly and patient, and really took the time to find out what I wanted (I'm pretty clueless about hairdressing language!). I also really appreciated the coffee on tap :-D Thank you!!

Took my 9year old to get her ears pierced. She was quite nervous but the girl in shop was great with her. Would recommend innovate for this.

This was a last minute appointment stylist was very good and listened to what I wanted

My daughter’s first time at this salon. Highly recommended. Excellent quality and value. Pleasant, welcoming staff.

I am very happy with my cut and colour. Katie has done a lovely job. This was my first visit to this salon and I will definitely be back. Katie was really good and nice and friendly.

Katie, is great, she understood straight away how I wanted my hair, advised and made sure I was happy with the decisions made and the result. She also is such a lovely person herself that made me at ease telling her what I liked and didn’t like which might sound draft but for me it’s hard to find a hairdresser who listens to what you want not what they think you want. I will def be making Katie my regular hairdresser.

Ear had closed up, staff were great discussing best way forward by speaking to each other, decided to re-pierce and it’s been great

Nice fast service no messing about fantastic for someone who doesn’t like going to salon. Ashleigh was lovely

Wendy was very professional.
The cut was excellent.

Really happy thankyou

Delighted with my hair.
Lucy was very friendly and helpful.

Felt really relaxed at salon , Lindsey was lovely to talk to and she listened to what I wanted done . I’m very happy haircut and service thanks

Both kids got hair cuts today, her long hair looks amazing and his short ‘trendy’ cut is a work of art! We will be back in a few weeks. Thanks,

I had had hair extensions for 8 years so 1st time I'd had my hair properly cut for a long time, I was nervous to say the least... Katie was amazing putting me at ease and taking time to understand what I wanted.... I left with the most amazing new style, fabulous cut and feeling fantastic... highly recommend... cant wait to go back ...

Unsure of the girls made, but made to feel welcome and enjoyed my first visit. Hair looks fab too, will definitely be back x

Very professional and excellent stylist, really impressed with how thorough Katiya blow dryed my hair and I’ve had a few compliments today. Would definitely recommend.

great cut, friendly and very professional

.y first time in the salon Simone understood exactly what I wanted.
I now have a fabulous hair style that I just love .Thank you see you again soon Xx

Thank you Lucy for doing my make - up and hair for the wedding I was going to on Saturday. I was delighted with what you did.

From the very first cut to the lastest cut, always amazing, I'll never go anywhere else ......fantastic salon with a great team...

Had a fabby day at the Salon. Wendy did a really good job on my colour and a great cut. Found my new hairdresser.

I absolutely love the colour of my hair and so pleased with the length it was cut to. Xx
Thanks again X

I went in feeling so scared and the women I seen I can't mind her name.it was one with the curly hair made me feel so relaxed and she had a friendly feel about her I went in with my hair a mess and she made it look so so good I will Defo be coming back

My mother in law has dementia and now has difficulties communicating. She always loved having her hair done but sadly the disease has muddled her thinking and we have found it hard to get her to the hairdressers. The Sunday appointment was perfect as it meant the shop was quiet and I was able to sit beside mum and help with the conversation. Nicolle was a gem and for someone so young she showed great patience and understanding. She paid grwat attention to mum and as she fid I saw signs of my real mum once again. She was delighted with her hair and asked to stop at her daughter's in way home to show it off...something she hasn't done in a long time. A huge thanks to Nicolle, I was anxious about the visit but had no need. Watching mum sit with her cappuccino, doing normal stuff was a moment to treasure. I am not sure whether the shop staff have had training and have their dementia friendly certificate but they should consider applying (its free)! and really helps. Nicolle you will never know what you did to make an old lady feel herself again...just for a short time. Thanks.

Loved Lucy, she did a great job!

First time at innovate today for a restyle, Katie made me feel at ease, lovely girl, done a fantastic job, exactly what I asked for. The salon is really nice and the rest of the staff are very friendly. I will definitely be back x
