Excellent experience with Jen and all the staff at McGills today. Jen did a ballyage on my very thick hair and she was superbly skilled and worked very fast as I had to rush away. Everyone made me feel like a queen. Lovely products, kind and professional staff. I'll definitely be going back.

Today was my first experience with McGills and I must say I'm beyond happy with my experience. Anica (sorry if I misspelled the name)did a wonderful job getting the balayage done to my hair. She was so nice and friendly and she did an excellent job. I absolutely love the way my hair looks now. All the other staffs were super friendly and professional too. I'll definitely be returning to McGills again in the future.

Garry did an absolutely amazing job. I have very difficult hair that has repeatedly been botched by other hairdressers, but Garry really knows his stuff, and took the time to listen to what I wanted and explain what was possible for my hair which now looks great, healthy, and really suits my face. Lovely people too. Couldn't recommend more.

I had my first visit to McGills this week with the lovely Eniko. From start to finish, I felt very comfortable. Eniko listened and took onboard what I wanted and even had a few suggestions herself, the results… were fantastic! I’m very happy with my new colour and cut! I would highly recommend, all staff were very welcoming. Looking forward to my next appointment.

I had my first appointment today with Taylor and am soooo happy! My last haircut was at a different salon in June and I didn’t realize just how bad it had gotten until Taylor was done. Can’t recommend him or McGills enough and am really looking forward to my next cut. Also so pleased to have found a salon that uses vegan products that are also refillable!

First time in this salon, lovely friendly warm welcome from all staff. decided I wanted a new style. booked in with Garry.sat with me for a consultation, getting to know what style I wanted, why and what my… hair care routine was. excellent advice throughout, talked through every step with me and why he was doing what he was doing. usually going for a cut I'm in and out a salon in 45 minutes max, almost double that today as Garry took his time in shaping and styling my hair. normally quite nervous about a new salon & stylist but felt so comfortable and at ease. booked in again for my

Visited McGills Hairdressing yesterday for the first time with the recommendation of a friend - could not have gone better! Very professional, super clean environment and really lovely staff. Taylor cut and styled my hair and I'm absolutely delighted with it. Thanks so much McGills x

I have been getting my hair done by Heather for the past year or so after a pretty crappy experience at another salon.
I was drawn to McGill's because of the cruelty free, eco friendly and organic approach to… hairstyling, which is something very important to me.
Heather was so incredibly lovely from the minute I first met her and gave me all of her time and attention to go over my wants, needs and everything in between. She has always gone the extra mile to make sure that I understand what she will be doing and making sure that I'm comfortable.
The salon is beautiful, and the team have
