Short and Curlys

Forgot to write my review for this even though it’s a 5 star for me. Whoops! I have been hunting around for a good barber for a decent price in Edinburgh for a while. And like any good hunter stalking his quarry I have finally found the perfect place for me to trim my quick growing brown locks and style me exactly how I wish. After trying to find a barber one day and calling tons around my uni I found this one. They got me in right away especially since I had gotten there right before the rush on a Friday. The lady was super sweet and talkative which I like. Being comfortable with your barber is super important to me and being able to talk a bunch is exactly what I look for. Walking in I could tell it must be good since right when I sat down it got crazy busy. My stylist did my hair exactly how I wanted! Like exactly! I was so shocked she nailed it I told her how amazed I was and that I would be back for as long as I was in Scotland. The prices were cheap to! £10 for my perfect cut! I tipped more because I had just got my perfect cut. So I can’t rave more about this place except that it’s the best shop in Edinburgh and it will be my permanent barber. I highly recommend it!

Short and Curlys is where my husband and chuildren always go to have their hair cut. It’s one of those drop in barbers that provide amazing service.
There are four stylists who work there and it is a first come first served basis for any customer, though if you prefer you can request your stylist.
There are toys for children to play with and collectables all over the walls from nostalgic memorabilia to interesting and amusing pictures.
The staff are friendly and always chat with you. They always cut the style that YOU want and not what they think is best, and to date, as far as I’m aware have never ruined someones hair!
The prices are fantastic, it’s that nostalgic type barbers that keep their prices low. Children of course get a lollipop and the staff are amazing with children, showing them the equipment they are going to use before using it!
At times, the barbers can be busy, this is due to the fact that once people try the place they love what they do to their hair!
If you are a man, wanting a brilliant haircut at fantastic value, this is a place I would definately recommend!
