Calum Grant. The Hair Designer

A seamless flow from natural dark and medium blondes to golden light blondes on the ends for client Nicky yesterday. Nicky has extremely thick hair and this colour including drying and straightening was complete in under 90 minutes using the amazing Neal & Wolf colours and finished using a variety of products from their styling range.

If you are ready to embrace enhancing what nature intended and looking for a new hair designer please do get in touch. I will arrange a convenient time for you to pop along to my lovely home salon for a free relaxed consultation over a cup of coffee.

With new client ‘Susanne’s’ permission I am delighted to share the result achieved on my last appointment of the week last Friday.

Susanne’s hair had quite a few different things going on from greying regrowth, warm midlengths to over processed bleach on the ends.

This was never going to be a ‘one colour fits all.’

After a thorough consultation and careful planning, we had 5 different bowls of colour varying from dark, medium and light ash blondes and medium and light cool natural blondes.

As we worked through the hair the colours chosen had to be applied to the areas that required to either be cooled or refreshed.

The first pic is Susanne’s hair before we started and I hope you like the final result.

Ps - it did help having the professional colour range from the wonderful Neal & Wolf at my disposal, especially their amazing ash range.

✨ Local ladies in the Lothians… are you looking for a hairdresser who puts the health of your hair first? ✨

If you're thinking about refreshing your hair, I'd love to welcome you to my friendly home salon.

My speciality is enhancing your existing colour, rather than completely changing it. This means I can use lower volumes of developer, helping to keep your hair beautifully healthy, shiny and strong, while creating soft, natural-looking results you'll love.

"I don't believe in chasing trends or dramatically changing who you are. My passion is enhancing what nature kindly gave you and helping you become the very best version of your hair—healthy, glossy and beautifully natural."

I exclusively use Neal & Wolf professional colours and their luxurious range of cleansing, conditioning and styling products because I believe your hair deserves the very best.

When you visit me, you'll get more than just a colour appointment. I'll also share simple styling tips and easy tricks so you can recreate that fresh salon finish at home in just a few minutes.

💛 One-to-one appointments in a relaxed home salon.
💛 Professional products.
💛 Healthy, beautiful hair that's easy to manage.
💛 Friendly advice with no pressure.

If you're local and looking for a new hairdresser who genuinely cares about the condition of your hair as much as the colour, I'd love to hear from you.

📩 Send me a message to book your appointment or arrange a free consultation. I can't wait to meet you! ✨

Please feel free to like, comment or share this post with anyone who may be looking for a new hairdresser—it really does help support my small business. ❤️

Absolutely stunning result to end with on a Friday.

Calum says - "this one was, I admit, a challenge, however the end result was worth all the planning".

New client Susanne came in for a consultation on Thursday evening and after a relaxed chat over a coffee she decided to book in today. Calum had no idea how long this would take as Susanne had quite a lot of different colours going on in her hair which ranged from warm to fairly over processed bleached areas.

Products used were a selection of medium and light, cool and natural blondes from Calum's favourite colour and product company - Neal & Wolf.

After colouring hair was cut by adding a whittled layer to remove weight from Susanne's thick hair to give a polished wearable finish.

💕 Sometimes finding the right hairdresser isn't about keeping up with the latest trends...

It's about finding someone who listens.

Someone who understands that you want your hair to suit you—your face, your colouring, your lifestyle—and to be easy to manage when you get home.

That's always been my approach.

I love creating soft, natural-looking colours, easy-to-wear cuts and healthy, shiny hair that grows out beautifully. I don't believe in changing who you are. I believe in enhancing what nature intended, so you still feel like yourself... just a little more polished and confident.

Working from my little home salon in East Lothian means every appointment is relaxed and personal. There's no rushing, no noisy salon, just time to chat, a cup of tea or coffee, and a chance to enjoy being looked after for a while.

I'm often told that clients leave feeling like they've spent time with a friend as well as having their hair done, and that's one of the loveliest compliments I could receive.

I'm also passionate about using the very best products. That's why I choose Neal & Wolf for everything I do—from colour and treatments to shampoos, conditioners and styling products. I wouldn't use anything else because I know how beautifully they care for the hair, and they're available to take home too, so you can keep that salon-fresh feeling between visits.

If you're looking for a hairdresser who believes that beautiful hair doesn't have to be complicated, I'd love to meet you.

Before I ever pick up a pair of scissors or mix a colour, I invite every new client for a complimentary consultation. No pressure. No obligation. Just a relaxed chat over a cup of tea about your hair, your lifestyle and how you'd like to feel when you look in the mirror.

Just send me a message if you'd like to know more or book an appointment. New clients are always very welcome. 🤍

Pictured is a fairly new client to me who has been having her hair coloured by myself for around 3 to 4 years now. To get a lovely soft colour like this is easy however it doesn’t come without some vital planning first.

Every new client I see is firstly invited for a no obligation consultation. We can sit down over a coffee and find out exactly what has worked for you in the past and crucially, what has not. We will also discuss your lifestyle and find the right shades and tones that compliment what nature kindly gave you rather than fight against it.

My aim with any new client is to have them return to me and trust me with their hair for many years to come. I see no point in only doing someone’s hair once!

Parking is available in the drive
way and you will always be booked in for more time than I need.

My colouring system I use is fast with most clients finished in under 90 minutes including cutting and finishing. This creates a balance between getting things right for you and not taking up too much of your valuable time.

All products from colours to cleansing, conditioning and styling are from the wonderful professional range from Neal & Wolf and are also available for you to take home to recreate that ‘salon look’ at home.

Just send me a message if you'd like to know more or book an appointment.

Hair in picture is by calum using cool medium and light blondes for colouring. Hair was cleansed with Ritual shampoo. Conditioned with Harmony treatment. A few spritz of Miracle was used to detangle and protect against heat before cutting soft layers. Finally, using Silk smoothing balm mixed with a little Velvet oil prior to drying.

✨ Why I Choose Neal & Wolf Every Day ✨

At my salon, I use Neal & Wolf products every single day—from colouring, shampooing and conditioning to styling and finishing.

One of the many reasons I love this brand is that they're Leaping Bunny approved, meaning their products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals. 🐰💚

The condition these products leave the hair in is simply amazing. Healthy, nourished hair is so much easier to work with, making styling effortless while leaving beautiful, long-lasting results for every client.

When the hair feels this good, it looks even better! ✨

Over the years, I've realised that most women aren't actually looking for "a new hairstyle."

They're looking for confidence.

They're looking for hair that feels like them again. Hair that doesn't take forever to style. Colour that doesn't scream "I've had my roots done." A hairdresser who listens, understands and remembers what they like.

So many of the lovely women who visit me tell me the same thing...
"I've never really found my hairdresser."
That makes me a little sad, because I truly believe every woman deserves one.

That's why I work a little differently.

Before I ever pick up a pair of scissors or mix a colour, I invite every new client for a complimentary consultation. No pressure. No obligation. Just a relaxed chat over a cup of tea/coffee about your hair, your lifestyle and how you'd like to feel when you look in the mirror.

My salon is a peaceful space, converted from my garage into somewhere that feels calm, welcoming and completely private. I only ever have one client at a time, so your appointment is exactly that...yours.

I specialise in creating soft, natural-looking colour that works with your skin tone and enhances your own hair, rather than fighting against it. My cuts are designed to grow beautifully and fall into place with as little effort as possible, because life is busy enough without battling your hair every morning.

I also use an advanced colour system that gives beautiful, long-lasting results in much less time than traditional colouring, along with the luxurious Neal & Wolf Haircare Professionals - Colour, Styling & Retail, professional range for colour, treatments, haircare and styling. Healthy hair will always be the foundation of beautiful hair.

I'm not interested in seeing hundreds of different faces.
I'm interested in building lasting relationships with wonderful women who want someone they can trust with their hair for years to come.

If you've been wondering whether it's time to find your forever hairdresser, perhaps this is your sign.

I'd love to meet you. Just send me a message, and we'll arrange your free consultation.

Sometimes the smallest change isn't your hair...
It's finally finding someone who understands it. 🤍

There comes a time when many women stop looking for "just a hair appointment" and start looking for a hairdresser they can trust.
Someone who listens.

Someone who offers honest advice.

Someone who has the experience to know what will suit you—not just what's fashionable.
That's exactly how I've always chosen to work.

My salon is a private, peaceful space at my home where I see just one client at a time. There are no back-to-back appointments, no interruptions and no pressure to rush. Your appointment is completely yours.

If you're new to me, I won't simply book you in for colour or a cut. Instead, I'll invite you to pop in for a coffee first. We'll spend time talking about your hair, your lifestyle, your colouring, what you've loved in the past and perhaps what hasn't worked so well. Together we'll create a plan that's tailored entirely to you.
Hair should never feel like a gamble.
It should feel like confidence.

I'm incredibly fortunate that many of my clients have been with me for 20...25...even over 30 years. That loyalty means everything to me because it tells me they know they're listened to, cared for and never treated as "just another appointment."
If you're looking for a quieter, more personal salon experience, where getting it right matters more than getting it done quickly, I'd love to meet you.

Send me a message and we'll arrange a relaxed consultation over coffee.

I'd love the opportunity to become your hairdresser for years to come. 🤍
