Headcases Hair Studio - Penicuik

8 John St, Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 8AD

About us

Headcases first opened its doors in Penicuik at the end of August 1998. Since the door opened back in 1998 the salon has gone from strength to strength attracting a huge loyal customer following resulting in a second salon opening within Peebles Hydro Hotel in 2007. Headcases now have a busy team of dedicated employees and realise that education and customer satisfaction is the key in allowing this incredibly successful venture to grow even further. The driving force behind this new venture was Danny and Marie Archibald both local stylists and Danny’s partner Pauline who had extensive experience of working in a customer care focused environment.

Absolutely fantastic service , Danielle was polite, friendly and service was very quick . I've not been to a salon for a few years, only been using a mobile hairdresser due to having some anxiety issues , but I will definitely be back I felt very relaxed .

Paul always takes the time to ask how I want my hair before he starts, and he just gets how I want it. I’ve been to other stylists who after a couple of visits just carry on doing what they think I want without asking too much. Great service here - better call Paul!????
