Services

Grey Hair Blending

Our grey hair blending technique integrates natural grey strands with subtle highlights to create a soft, low-maintenance look. Ideal for clients seeking a graceful transition to silver, this service uses semi-permanent tones to enhance existing hues while preserving hair health. The process involves a personalized consultation to determine optimal shades that complement skin tone and hair texture. Clients benefit from reduced root maintenance and a natural aesthetic that evolves seamlessly with regrowth.

Curl Enhancing

Specialised curl-enhancing cuts and treatments accentuate natural curl patterns through tailored techniques. Services include bespoke hydration plans, curl-defining styling, and education on home maintenance. Stylists trained in curly hair physics assess individual textures to recommend optimal products and routines. The goal is to restore curl vitality while minimizing frizz, ensuring manageable, vibrant results that align with lifestyle needs.

Luxury Hair Extensions

Great Lengths human hair extensions are applied using tape-in methods for discreet, weightless volume. Each set is custom-matched to natural hair colour and density, with placements designed for comfort and movement. The process includes a consultation to determine optimal length and thickness, followed by aftercare education to extend extension longevity. Clients experience immediate transformation without compromising hair integrity.

MB Blow Dry Club

This membership service offers unlimited blow dry appointments at fixed monthly rates. Tailored to busy lifestyles, it ensures consistent styling while reducing home maintenance stress. Sessions include scalp and hair health checks, with stylists adapting techniques to seasonal changes or hair condition. The club prioritizes time-saving luxury without compromising personalized attention.

Hair Colouring

Seamless colour services use ammonia-free, vegan formulations to achieve vibrant, long-lasting results. Each appointment begins with a detailed consultation to assess previous treatments and desired outcomes. Techniques like balayage and ombre are employed to create dimension while preserving hair strength. Clients receive post-colour care kits and guidance on maintaining hue vibrancy between visits.

Stanley did a fantastic job of cutting and colouring my hair - he did exactly what I asked for and took time to ensure I was happy. He was also lovely to chat to and had great attention to detail. The other staff at Macleod Bradley are also lovely and made me feel very welcome - Id definitely recommend this salon. Thank you for having me!

Had my hair done today, absolutely love my hair, got what I asked for & more, all the staff were super friendly & love the salon doggy Willis. My stylist really took her time to understand what would work best for me as I was unsure of what I wanted.

Have been going to Macleod and Bradley for the last 3 years, every time it is as enjoyable as a trip to the hairdressers possibly can be. Friendly and helpful staff who are knowledgeable and skilled. I've never had a cut that wasn't exactly what I wanted. A little on the expensive side but its a hairdresser in Didsbury, so probably to be expected!
