After Covid lockdown my tresses required some TLC. Mac, as always, expert colourist and stylist. Went slightly shorter with my bob and also discussed with her a change of colour. Brilliant cut too. Final result brilliant as always. Mental health greatly improved. Would thoroughly recommend Shapes and Mac in Portobello. I’ve also had the other stylists and they are brilliant also. Tracy brilliant on advice on colour.

I had a lovely experience today, even though I appeared on the wrong day, they managed to fit me in. Very happy with the lovely lady who cut my hair. Felt safe with everyone wearing masks and keeping at a safe distance.

Shapes Hair Review

I visited ‘Shapes’ today for a half head of highlights and cut and blow dry for myself, a cut and blow dry for both of my daughters and a wet cut for my son after lockdown. Very pleased with the results, particularly with my younger daughter’s hair which was very long and tangled! The girls were very patient and understanding and her hair is in much better condition now!

Had a lovely relaxing morning, enjoying good conversation with Michelle while she colour and cut my hair. Having being going to Shapes for years to get my hair done and i trust them to give me what i want. Delighted with my hair today, Michelle can usually decipher what i try to explain how i would like it, and she has never let me done. Clive is always welcoming, as is the receptionist and the other hair stylist and i always feel comfortable in thier salon.

Mack is a friendly individual who listened to what I wanted and executed it beautifully, colour is gorgeous, exactly what I asked for. Again, listened to how much I wanted cut and delivered a lovely blow dry finish. Mack gave good advice on products which I was happy to purchase. A friendly team, polite, no rushing (which is something I hate), treated as an individual. Covid-19 restrictions adhered to, felt safe, staff discreetly cleaning after each client. Will definitely return and support this local business.
