That Rosie Glow ★9.5

About the salon

That Rosie Glow is an award-winning beauty boutique and training academy, with the Edinburgh site in the Hillside and Meadowbank stretch east of the centre and a sister salon in North Berwick. The stated aim is disarmingly simple: to be a place where you feel like yourself again, which explains why the boutique reads as social rather than clinical.

Services

The menu brings hair and beauty together under one booking: cuts, styling and blow-outs on the hair side, and brows, lash lifts, facials and hair removal on the beauty side. The academy arm means treatments are also taught, so the techniques on the floor are the ones the salon is confident enough to train other people in.

Technology and brands

The boutique works with high-end treatments and recognised professional brands rather than budget lines. Brow and lash lifting is a named specialism here, done as a structured lift and set rather than a quick tint, and the salon keeps to single-use consumables and strict tool hygiene, as an academy must.

Team and stylists

The founder, Rosie, spent well over a decade in makeup artistry before opening the boutique, including management roles with YSL and MAC Cosmetics — a retail-and-artistry background that shows in how the team handles consultations. The floor is split by specialism: senior stylists on hair, and a dedicated brow and lash lift specialist.

The Space

The Edinburgh boutique is fresh and modern, and the atmosphere is consistently described as vibrant and friendly rather than hushed. The stated intention is that clients feel valued, respected and at ease. Free parking nearby is a genuine advantage in this part of town, and Waverley is a walk away.

Who it’s for

A good fit for anyone who wants hair and beauty from the same trip without crossing the city centre, and for clients who care about brows and lashes being treated as a specialism. It also suits people considering training, since the academy runs from the same base.

Questions and answers

Can I book online? Yes, through the salon’s own site and booking partners, with a stylist or specialist chosen at the time of booking.

How long do treatments take? A blow-out runs around forty-five minutes, a cut and finish an hour, and a lash lift with tint about an hour.

Do you treat men and children? Men are welcome for hair and brow services. Younger clients can be booked for cuts with a parent present.

Can I combine treatments in one visit? Yes — a blow-out with brows or a lash lift is a common pre-event booking.

Do you sell gift vouchers? Yes, by value or named treatment, and they can be used at either location.
