Had an excellent haircut from Ailsa last week. Long, scruffy, lockdown locks no more! Listened to everything I wanted and made me feel completely at ease. Great service and beautiful salon.

Another fab haircut from Gordon! 6 months since he last cut it and all it needed was a wee trim and tidy up 😊 I can't get over how long it is now!

This was my first time getting my hair done at Hair and Body Mechanics. Absolutely love the salon, couldn’t fault their customer service and Ailsa did a beautiful job of my hair. Next appointment is already booked 🤩.
