Dubinski: Fierce, melodic, and unflinchingly honest, Dubinski stand at the forefront of Scotland’s next wave of alternative rock. Praised for their electrifying live shows and heartfelt songwriting, Dubinski combine jagged guitars, propulsive rhythms, and soaring vocal hooks with thoughtful, socially-aware lyricism. Channeling influences that span The Clash to LCD Soundsystem, Dubinski forge a sound that is unmistakably their own, with the rare ability to balance raw power with introspection.

Born in rural North Yorkshire and raised in the Scottish Highlands, Dubinski are four inseparable siblings: Eugene, Fergus, Donal and Eoin Gaine. Taking on the band name Dubinski (their late mother’s maiden name), the band released their acclaimed eponymous debut album in 2022 and took their high-energy show on the road as an international touring act. Upon their return, the band re-enlisted Grammy Award winning producers Mike Horner and Robbie Nelson (The Rolling Stones, Hot Chip, Frank Ferdinand) to record their critically acclaimed sophomore album 'What Is Your Definition Of Happiness?’, released in March 2025.

Polyphonic Sonder: Emanating from the Scottish Borders, Polyphonic Sonder comprising of Liam Mckechnie, Ross Moffat, and Patrick Carlin have been rising in the local scene as a prolific, high energy group delivering a blend of alternative rock covers and original music. If you are a fan of the Libertines and the Kooks, you won't want to miss them!

The Dull Fudds: Hailing from the Scottish Borders, The Dull Fudds are a much-loved cheeky four-piece band whose lively mix of pop, rock and jazz influences earned them a loyal following throughout the noughties. Led by singer-songwriter Katie Forbes, the band became known for their spirited live shows, blending original material with well-chosen crowd favourites and a healthy dose of mischief. They are a guaranteed evening of fun and a proper knees-up.

Today’s post is one that truly means a lot to me 💛

Back in September, I met a wonderful client who shared her journey with me one of strength, resilience, and determination. She had been through so much, facing cancer head-on and coming out the other side with incredible courage.

From that very first appointment, it was clear that her hair wasn’t just hair it was part of her story, her recovery, and her identity as she rebuilt her confidence.

Today marked a very special moment. This was her “goodbye” to that chapter. Together, we made the decision to go for a complete transformation from long hair to a beautiful, bold pixie cut ✂️

This wasn’t just a haircut. It was a fresh start. A celebration. A statement of strength and moving forward.

Being trusted with something so personal is the biggest honour in what I do. Moments like this remind me that hairdressing is so much more than styling it’s about connection, confidence, and being part of someone’s journey.

Thank you for letting me be a small part of yours 💛

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful clients for your continued support throughout the year. It truly means so much to us, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our salon family.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. Thank you for trusting us with your hair – we look forward to welcoming you back in the new year! 🎄✨ love from Anne,Robyn, Karen & Fiona
