Just moved here from London where I had real trouble getting the right colour, but Mac did it straight off. Very impressive. She also did a plain effective cut for me. I don't go to hair salons very often but I will certainly come here again.

I have no complaints about my hair colour and cut and blow dry. I was astonished at the amount of cut hair lying unswept which I felt was dangerous if someone was to slip on it. I understand that there was no one to do this.

From a males perspective Clive is the ideal hairdresser : he cuts in a style to suit the individual and gets it right every time. I never feel disappointed. And his staff are so efficient and personable it is a pleasure to go to the Shapes salon in Portobello. I know several former hairdressers…. male and female…who wouldn’t go anywhere else but Shapes. That says it all.
