Services
Hair Colour
Our expert colourists specialise in transformative hair colour services using premium products. We offer root touch-ups, full colour changes, and corrective colour work. Our team stays current with the latest trends and techniques to deliver precise, long-lasting results that enhance your natural features and personal style.
Balayage
This hand-painted highlighting technique creates natural-looking dimension and sun-kissed effects. Our stylists customise each balayage to complement your hair texture and face shape. The result is low-maintenance, grow-out-friendly colour that adds depth and vibrancy to your hair.
Olaplex Treatments
Olaplex technology rebuilds broken hair bonds during chemical services. This treatment strengthens hair while enhancing colour vibrancy and longevity. Ideal for maintaining hair health during lightening processes, it allows for more dramatic colour transformations with reduced damage.
Fringe Trims
We offer complimentary precision fringe trims between full services to maintain your hairstyle's shape. This service ensures your fringe remains neat and functional while growing out. Our stylists provide expert advice on maintaining your style between visits.
Head Massages
Available with any wash service, our invigorating head massages promote circulation and relaxation. The treatment uses aromatherapy scents to enhance the sensory experience. This complimentary service transforms your hair wash into a spa-like moment of self-care.

Id not been to this salon for around two years due Covid restrictions and had forgotten how wonderful it is. I had my cut with Amanda, who listens to what I want and always does a perfect job of my hair. Really cant fault it.

I can't recommend Muse enough. Thanks to Carrie and everyone at the shop, I can say that Muse is a safe place for me. I'm Autistic and I can't say that for many places. All of the stylists are like one big family and get along extremely well. There's always a relaxed, calm and still fun, atmosphere. Travelling up from The Borders is most definitely worth it. (The train ride is one of my favourite parts). Thanks guys, can't wait to see you all next year!
