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.

Before I visited Marie & Elaine at Headcases I used to dread hair day.
I Never worry now. I know I'm in safe expert hands. I'm sometimes not good at describing what I'm after. But Marie just gets it!!Love my colour and cut. Thank you ????

Always happy with the cut and style of my hair for myself and my daughters. Great advice about colours for myself and my eldest daughter has been very happy with the balayage Michael has done for her twice now. Lovely, relaxed, friendly atmosphere in the salon.

I dont have much to be done to my very fine haired short bob but Paul is aways super friendly, chatty and profesional. Makes me feel like it is worth getting my hair cut and he always does a brill job on my flyaway fluff! We usually manage to put the world to rights too. The whole team at Headcases are lovely and i would recommend them to everyone. Really reasonable prices too.
