    “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! ❤️”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “Visiting Edinburgh from Canada. What a pleasure & joy to experience this salon away from my familiar trusted home hairstylists. Keeva - thanks for the relaxing wash & scalp massage, and for the haircut that has had many wonderful compliments. Thanks to your awesome colleagues too. Great salon!”

Frequently asked questions

Can I book the Emulsion & Mask on its own?

No. It isn't bookable on its own, so please add it to a cut, or a wash and blow-dry.

What does the Emulsion & Mask include?

The System Professional emulsion, worked through at the basin, plus a deeper conditioning mask, for hair that needs more than a surface boost.

Who is it for?

Dry, dull or coarse hair that needs weight, softness and shine restored.

When would I choose the three-step version instead?

The Emulsion, Mask & Infusion adds an infusion that repairs at the deepest level, restoring the hair's keratin fibres, lipids and protein. It's for hair that's genuinely depleted rather than just dry: repeatedly coloured, heat-damaged, or coarse and porous.
