permanent waves in UK

Welcome to my page.

I have a passion for hairdressing and want my clients to feel like I am with them every step of the way when it comes to looking after their hair.

After over 25 years training and working with high profile stylists both off & on Instagram, I have found my perfect location in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town at Connolly Hairdressing.

Joined by an amazing team who have trained in amazing salons such as Cheynes, Vidal Sassoon, Charlie Millar, Patersons S.A, my aim is to bring an intimate and personal hair experience to everyone who sits in my chair.

There is no better feeling than seeing the smile on my clients faces when they leave the salon looking and feeling like a million dollars.

I provide services for Balayage, Highlighting, Colour, Modern Perning & Demi Waves, Cutting & Styling as well as Hair Up services.

If your looking for Instagram worthy hair or just a regular trim, I would love to help make your hair dreams come true.

New Clients are always welcome, so get in touch if you have any questions about visiting me at the salon.

See you soon, Mary x
