My spirit animal is a 1950s pin up girl, and I have no shame in admitting that I am painfully particular when it comes to my hair. Firstly, I have a crazy asymmetrical hair cut that not many people know how to manage an maintain, and secondly, I know exactly how I like my hair done when I want pin up hair ( usually: MAKE IT BIG) So when it comes to choosing a salon to trust, I am, in all honesty, a bit if a snob. I've tried the big chains and I've tried a lot of the smaller places that look like they mean business too, but I have only found one place that I know I will never leave disappointed, and that's Lipstick Lashes and Locks. Β The salon itself is just beside the meadows so it's easy to get to. It has a super cute retro interior, extremely friendly and helpful staff and it has a really great atmosphere (not to mention plenty of tea to enjoy when getting treatments!). They not only do hair cuts and pin ups, but they also do make up and nails too, so it really is a one stop shop if you're looking for a make over. Not looking for a vintage style? Not a problem! They're top notch hairdressers that can dye your hair any colour (PASTLE FUN!!) and pretty much tackle any kind of cut or style you can think of (trust me, I have given Tina some challenges!!) Oh! Not to mention they also do mens hair cuts too, and offer cut throat beard trims, so I am kinda hoping I will meet my future husband in there ;)The prices are incredibly affordable for the high level of services they offer, and they use top of the line products too - I love that they use and sell Besame Cosmetics which is neigh on impossible to buy in Scotland. Top tip: Be sure to keep your eye out for them at Lou Lou's Vintage Fair where you can get your hair and make up done at a snip of the price, and make sure you follow them on facebook for upcoming events. If you're a pin up gal like me, I'm sure you'll be super excited to hear that Cherry Dollface is coming to the salon to do hair and make up workshops and you can even do a professional pin up photo shoot with her. I missed this last year, but I 100% intent to buy a ticket as soon as they're released as it looked like one hell of a great experience!! Read Less
