Ruffians
Ruffians is an award-winning barbershop UK, a men’s grooming store, and a destination to have a relaxed lifestyle with four branches around the country, Edinburgh and Soho included. This barbershop was established in 2012 and started due to the frustration the owners felt with Edinburgh barbers not providing great customer service in the area. In December 2013, they decided to bring their Scottish heritage all the way to London. They launched in Covent Garden, after which they won UK’s Best Customer Experience within eight months and also won Best Salon Team the year after.

The Players Lounge
The Players Lounge was introduced back in 2007 by Suzie. She had concluded that Edinburgh didn’t have sufficient premium and quality men’s salons for guys who wanted more than just a haircut. There were guys who desired a full pampering experience in a luxury salon and never got to experience it. As a result, Suzie understood that a man wanted a professional consultation accompanied by a soothing head massage, and top-tier services, all done by highly skilled barbers Edinburgh who have been trained to handle scissors and clippers.

What Other Said About Boombarbers:
"Had a great experience here. The barber really listened to what I wanted, and we talked until we were both confident we were on the same page. Then the cut was very well done. Will definitely go back" - liam baker via Google reviews.
"Used to go to the boom barbers in Leith but recently moved to the south side. The HIGHEST quality haircuts is all I've ever had from this franchise. The barber I had this time - was great craic and did a superb job with the cut. Plus they do student discount 👌 Highly recommended" - Liam Thorpe via Google reviews.
"I got my cut here yesterday. I did have to make an appointment, but it was worth it. I had done plenty of research as this was my first cut in the UK. The reviews looked good so I dropped in to make an appointment. I was not sure how I wanted my haircut and the barber was an immense help. I was not sure that I wanted to return to my usual undercut so I told him that I wanted it faded from the temple and that he could leave as much as he wanted on the top. Most barbers want to know exactly what you want, but he was very accommodating of my indecision. He looked at my hair and got to work...the result was an amazing haircut, which I have been complemented on. It was comfortable, the shop was clean, the music was decent and the barber was talkative, but also accepted that I didn't want to talk and didn't chat my ear off. I recommend them, but remember to make an APPOINTMENT!" - Aaron S. via Yelp reviews.

What We Liked About Stag Barber Co.:
The level of the stylist attending to you determines the price of your haircut other than the length. At this barber shop Edinburgh, you can get their hair extension or coloring service which comes with a free consultation prior to the appointment. They give cuts to children under 12 and under 16, including blow-dry. Also, if you hate small talk and just want some downtime, you can book their silent haircut service ahead of time to enjoy a peaceful hair session.

"Very professional and nice staff. I tried a different style and I won't be changing this one. Will come back when in Edinburgh, that's for sure." - Almog Avraham via Google reviews.
"Booked a haircut and shave @ the sink & anchor and when I arrived early for my appointment I was taken immediately. Quick chat with Luke to ask about what I was looking for and then straight to it. While it was a simple cut with clippers, the dedication and detail was excellent. The shave was next and following me having a shave only 3 days before, there wasn't much for him to take off. The shave was excellent and when my face went cold, another hot towel was applied to make sure I was comfortable. All in all a great experience and now my go to barber whenever I am back home in Scotland. I will be back!!" - John H. via Yelp reviews.
