Good hairdressers in Edinburgh that won't break the bank

Hi, long-time lurker / first-time poster!

Looking to get my hair cut without emptying my bank account or looking like a disaster. I live in Newington and work in the west end, so anywhere in/near the city centre would be great (yep, I know, cheap *anything* in the centre of Edinburgh is asking a lot!).

    It's not the City Centre, but there are a couple of hairdressers out the Colinton Mains way that are reasonable - Harlequin on Colinton Mains Drive and Broadway Style on Oxgangs Broadway (off the main road, but I've been going here for the last 7 years + and won't see past the place)

    My sister gets her done by a chinese guy on a small lane off clark st towards nicolson st on the left hand side before you reach tesco metro pass Scayles Music shop
    Always cuts it very well and suits my sister all the time, i think it costs about £14 for a cut.
    A smile and manners doesnt cost any thing
  • i go to JardineWorks just off Lothian Road, pretty central and the prices are no bad for the toon, dont have a price list to hand but less that £20 i woud say for a cut, its a good quality salon with really friendly easy to talk to staff! iv been goin there for years.

    Heres the number - 0131-229 7761 worth a call to check the prices, i get Steven to cut and colour my hair, but all the stylists are great!

    Hope this helps! x
  • Thanks for all the suggestions - very much appreciated! :j
  • Vallance hairdressers on the Dalry Road near Haymarket station.

    You can get 2 colours foil highlights with cut and blow dry for £49 and a cut and blow dry for around £18.

    It's where I go and I rate them highly.
