“Been coming here a good few years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Anthony and the guys are excellent in what they do. A common finding looking through the other reviews is a friendly, professional and clean hair salon. It's exactly that. Must add - they are also brilliant, and patient, with my two year old son when he is moving about during his cut. Always an excellent haircut for him too.”

“I came along for a one off appt and Nichole was excellent, she chatted through what I was looking for and took time throughout to check in with me too.

“I have been getting my hair cut by Lucas for the last 6 or so months and I can’t fault him or the shop. The manners of Lucas to offer me a beer or water when I sit down in the chair and the ease of conversation ensures it’s a good experience. The shop it’s self has been decorated by Davey the owner, who you can see takes great pride in the history of barbering by having lots of old barbering equipment and memorabilia on the walls giving the shop a very professional look to match the hair cuts. I can’t recommend GRB enough. There’s lots of barbers on Gorgie road but you know your in good hands with Lucas and Davey”

“Gorgeous hair! One of the things I love most was that in my garbled nonsense trying to explain what I wanted done to my hair, the lovely hairstylist, Emma, straightened me out! I get my hair done specifically so I can consult with a professional — an actual expert — when I know clear nothing about the mechanics of hair styling, and McGills delivered. Warm and friendly service, knowledgeable stylists, reasonable prices for Edinburgh, and a banging playlist for you to hum along to while you’re getting your hair done. Shoutout to Emma, Taylor, and Chloe who were working when I was in — you were wonderful! I’ll see you again in 6 months :)”
