About Us.

Established in 1976, Cheynes are proud to have built an enviable reputation for our dedication to the hair industry — a fact reflected by the stylists and clients who have been with us since those early days!

Our Values.

At Cheynes, we are as passionate about our clients, as we are about hair. And that’s why we’ve spent almost five decades as Edinburgh’s favourite.

Our brilliant salon teams are all about creating a welcoming, inclusive vibe for everyone who walks through our doors.

Whether you’re up for a chat, scrolling your socials, or catching up on emails, we’ll keep the coffee flowing and make sure you leave the chair feeling like the best version of yourself.

Our Story.

From humble beginnings under the care and creativity of Jennifer Cheyne OBE, Cheynes has grown into an iconic name known for delivering exceptional hairdressing. 

A young visionary, Jennifer curated a team of talented, passionate individuals and with drive and dedication, built a solid foundation for a strong and successful business that continues to thrive an amazing 48 years later. Jennifer’s mantra, “Think hair, think Cheynes,” remains at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to carry her legacy forward.

Today, Cheynes is led by Directors Paul, Sarah and Director of Operations Lorraine, who have all been with the business since its earliest days. Together with an incredible team of hairdressers, they are committed to keeping Jennifer’s vision alive — offering talent, creativity, and a warm, welcoming experience to their clients.
