Frances Rankin 5 star Google review
“I can't recommend PeterJames Hairdressing highly enough - I had a fantastic salon experience with Peter! I really love the cut, but what's been incredible is the change in my hair's condition. It was thinning, like straw, tuggy after washing (couldn't pull my fingers through it), but now the texture is silken. For those of us of a certain age, or anyone suffering hair loss, "Peter James" (Haymarket) has one of only two hair salons in Scotland that has a Scalp, Menopause & Hair Loss Clinic. Absolutely five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I had a really wonderful, 10/10 experience at PeterJames Hairdressing this morning. After cutting my own hair for several years due to the pandemic and then having newborn twins, my hair was in a sorry state 😳 - totally uneven, jagged layers, a real mess. Zowie did an incredible job repairing my hair and transforming it into something I could be proud of (and no longer embarrassed by)! Peter, James, and Zowie all took the time at the start to discuss different options with me, clearly communicating what they thought would suit my hair and face shape best. They made me feel so heard and valued, and just really good about myself! The process of cutting and styling my hair went so smoothly. Zowie was so easy to talk to and she did a great job communicating each part of the process as it was happening. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Lesson learned, no more cutting my own hair 😆! PeterJames Hairdressing, I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much! ❤️”

Karyn Connor 5 star Google review
“I’ve been going to see Peter since the salon opened and love it there, and would suggest them to anyone. I always come away feeling great about my hair but also myself. But today I had an amazing chat with Peter about the work they are doing to improve peoples scalps and their passion to help women going through perimenopause and menopause. Peter said someone close to him started going through this and he made it their mission to learn all they could. I’ve also seen the amount they learn about a product before bringing it into the salon and how important it is to them that they only suggest natural products. To see how much they care about their clients health and wellbeing, legit makes me emotional. 5 stars isn’t enough? They go above and far beyond.”

“Zowie was fantastic - she spent time feeling my hair and listening to my struggles with it before recommending the type of cut that would be best, checking in with me through the whole process. I felt very safe in her hands!”

“Absolutely lovely. I have very damaged abused hair from years of bleaching and extensions. They were kind, polite and non-judgmental towards my hair concerns. They are are real miracle workers. My hair has gone from a damaged birds nest to a beautiful, well conditioned sleek professional cut. I really couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much.”

“I had a wonderful experience getting a blow-dry but also while I was there I got a detox scalp treatment that's worked wonderful on my scalp. Oli was so kind, caring and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with them and at the salon.”

Frequently asked questions
A few of the questions we’re asked most often. For appointments, colour, the Scalp Clinic, extensions and our salon policies, see the full FAQs page.
What services do you offer?
Cutting and styling, colour — from balayage and highlights to a root stretch or a toner — treatments for condition and smoothing, hair extensions and children's haircuts. Alongside the salon there's a dedicated scalp and hair clinic for hair loss, thinning, shedding and menopause hair change. The full list is on our services page.
How do I book an appointment?
Online, through Salon IQ, our booking system: choose your service, who you'd like to see and a time. If you'd rather speak to someone first — particularly about the clinic, if you're not sure what you need — call the salon and ask.
Where are you, and when are you open?
We're at 119-121 Dalry Road, Edinburgh EH11 2DR, two minutes' walk from Haymarket station and tram stop. We're open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm, and until 7pm on Thursdays. We're closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Is a clinic appointment different from a salon appointment?
Yes. A clinic consultation is time set aside to look properly at your scalp and hair under digital microscopy and leave you with a written plan. It's its own paid appointment, and the fee is redeemable against what we recommend.
Do any services need a consultation first?
Hair extensions start with their own consultation, so the right length, volume and colour match can be agreed before anything is fitted. The specialised colouring transformations — going blonde, going brunette, or moving an existing blonde somewhere softer — each need a consultation before they can be booked.
Which brands do you use?
Wella Professionals for colour, System Professional for haircare and treatments, Nioxin and Glowwa in the scalp clinic, K18 for molecular repair, Briogeo for curly hair, Remi Cachet Elegance for extensions, Sebastian Professional for styling, ghd for styling tools and KILLABRUSH antimicrobial hairbrushes. Our partnerships page explains why we chose each one.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. You can buy a PeterJames gift card online through our booking system.
