Owner Suzie founded the salon after noticing there was a lack of salons where men could go and receive the same high level of service and skills found in a ladies or unisex salon. She understood that many of you no longer wanted a quick in and out at the barbers but wanted the whole package (shampoo and relaxing head massage, top level service and great scissor and barbering skills) and the Players Lounge was born.
Suzie & the team have a passion for hair and want to make you look and feel good about yourself. Everyone coming to the salon should leave looking and feeling the best version of themselves. We love connecting with our clients, we want you to enjoy the outstanding service offered in the salon and we want to make you feel special.

At 16 I told my parents I wanted to leave school to do hairdressing. I was quite academic and my parents were not happy with me leaving school and so encourged me to continue with my studies and go to university. I did a business studies degree, tried various office jobs (which I hated!) and was even a wedding planner for a while but I never stopped wanting to work in the hair industry.
For big hair cuts when you have not had your hair cut for months or are looking for a big change, please book our full restyle service. This will allow us extra time take care of all your hair needs. In depth consultation, shampoo followed by a relaxing scalp massage, expert haircut and finish. Please book this service if you have not had your hair cut for months or are looking for a big change.
In 2016 we had a full refurbishment of the salon and made the decision to become an Eco salon. Our interior has been designed and built with sustainability in mind. Our mirrors are made from reclaimed church pews, and our waiting bench is also a reclaimed pew. Our floor has been reclaimed from a renovated cottage.
This is a booking request system and we will always confirm back to you. Sometimes the time you requested will need to be changed slightly but we always do our best to accommodate you close to the times you request. Please phone if you do not hear from us to check your booking. Not all of our services are available to book online but please phone or email to book any not listed on the online form.

I was having trouble in finding a hairstylist in Edinburgh who can cut my long hair as majority are barbers or used to do female haircuts on long hair, which is very different in both style and texture of the hair than mens.
I cannsay that Jen, one of the stylists from The Players Lounge has exceeded my expectations by executing a pretty difficult haircut and she did it very well.
Everything was great about the service, I would have hiven a 5 star for the service all together, however, I had to take into consideration also the cost which is above most of the salons in the city. Of course, I assume

I have had my haircut here since moving to Edinburgh two years ago. For a gents salon the prices are on the expensive side, but the quality is excellent and you do get what you pay for. I have never left the Players Lounge with anything but an excellent haircut. Lynne is very professional, has great conversation and really knows what she is doing. I particularly like the advice on haircare, there is no push to buy their stocked products. When I pick a barbers I want a place that offers consistently good haircuts and the Players Lounge offer just that.

Having arrived from Ireland early this morning I was in great need of a fade for the famous NYE Hogmany festival. I booked an appointment with Carla who really was very professional and friendly in everything she did while I was there. The hair cut I received was a high 0 fade with texture on top and it was a 10/10 job by her. A very friendly and skilled barber with a great future in the business! Would highly reccomend her and the shop for a chop!!

Having a haircut at Players Lounge is a real treat and a real experience. The staff are wonderful, location is great for me and I really appreciate the care and attention to detail. Not only do I get a great haircut and beard trim from Jen, but I come out feeling refreshed and relaxed. A+++

I've been coming here for 6 years and can say that's I've been disappointed with my haircut. Lindsay has been cutting my hair for 5 years now and she still takes care as if I'm a first time customer ensuring I'm happy with the haircut during and after. All the stylists are great as well and show the same level of care for their clients. Good atmosphere as well bright and clean and a wide range of appointment times. You won't be disappointed if you drop in or become a regular.
