Cheynes

Slick local chain 46 George Street
Edinburgh EH2 2LE
United Kingdom
+44 131 220 0777 This successful Edinburgh chain has branches across the city and offers top quality cuts, styling and coloring (and if you missed out on perms in the 1980s, they're adept on that front too). They're a good bet for straightforward as well as more directional styling. Pleasantly upmarket without charging exorbitant prices, their salons are stylish and modern. Prices start from £15 so you can afford to pick up the phone and book an appointment.

Edinburgh Floatarium

Health & beauty treatments 29 North West Circus Place
New Town
Edinburgh EH3 6TP
United Kingdom
+44 131 225 3350 Health and beauty treatments are available here as well as a selection of books, crystals and other healing delights. If you fancy stepping out of the rat race, this is a great place to cleanse your mind and body. Try floating in one of their cavernous tanks for relaxation or have an aromatherapy massage to ease that stress away. This is a wonderful place to pamper yourself and to take a step back from a hectic lifestyle, or to unearth unusual presents.

Frasers

Quality department store 145 Princes Street
Edinburgh EH2 4DL
United Kingdom
+44 131 225 2472 Frasers is a quality name, placed in the middle/upper bracket of department stores. This building is a bit of a landmark at the west end of Princes Street. It is very strong on casual designer names such as DKNY and Laundry. There's a good range of menswear, womenswear, designer housewares and a very comprehensive cosmetics and perfume floor. There is also a smart cafe upstairs serving good quality lunches.

Patersons SA

Cutting-edge salon 129 Lothian Road
Edinburgh EH3 9AD
United Kingdom
+44 131 228 5252 With a fun, friendly, funky atmosphere, this salon is well worth a visit, especially if you're looking for a cutting-edge haircut that will get you noticed. You only have to look at the customers coming out of the shop, to get an idea of just how good the stylists are here. The salon has an open layout and a contemporary decor. They offer every hairdressing service, including coloring and perming.

Woods the Barbers

Short back and sides 12 Drummond Street
Edinburgh EH8 9TU
United Kingdom
This is a traditional, solid, old-fashioned barber shop, right down to the red and white stripy poles outside. You know straight away what you're getting here - none of the fancy fripperies we fork out for elsewhere, just a good quality haircut. It's unlikely you'll find anyone asking for some mousse or a light back combing.
