Salon services
Whether you’re after a low-maintenance trim, a bold transformation, or colour that makes your features pop, I’ve got you covered.
-
Based on the Curly Girl Method, this approach avoids harsh sulfates, silicones, and drying alcohols. It focuses on understanding and working with your unique curl pattern to enhance natural definition, reduce frizz, and keep curls healthy and hydrated.
-
For hair with attitude. Razor cutting uses a specialist blade to slice through the hair, creating soft, feathered edges and natural texture.
It’s perfect for adding movement, removing bulk, and giving that cool, lived-in finish. Think effortlessly tousled, never too ‘done’.
-
I offer professional hair colouring and toning services that are tailored to your unique style and hair needs. Whether you’re looking to refresh your colour, achieve a new vibrant shade, or neutralise unwanted tones.
-
Root bleach to refresh regrowth and virgin bleach application for a complete blonde transformation. Each service is followed by a toner to neutralise brassiness and enhance your blonde shade, leaving your hair vibrant and healthy.
-
The Davines Circle Treatment restores moisture and shine, with a sachet to take home for continued care. For colour-treated hair, Olaplex strengthens and protects during colour services, ensuring healthier, shinier results.
-
Snip, snip — no shampoo required! Dry cutting means trimming and shaping your hair in its natural state, so we can see exactly how it moves and behaves.
Great for refreshing your style, tidying up those ends, and adding shape where it matters most.
Think of it as a little haircut magic, no wash needed.
-
Not quite a bob, not quite a pixie — the Bixie is the best of both.
A breezy, textured cut that’s cropped at the back with soft, face-framing layers. Think effortless shape, playful volume, and a little edge.
Perfect if you fancy a chop but don’t want to lose all the length.
-
Chic, short, and effortlessly cool. The French Bob sits just around the jawline with a blunt edge and often a soft, wispy fringe.
It’s that ‘I woke up like this’ Parisian vibe — simple, sharp, and a little bit undone.
Perfect for anyone craving a low-maintenance cut with maximum attitude.
-
Professional cuts and grooming services for men, ensuring a polished, sharp look that suits your style. From classic haircuts to modern trims.
-
Your hair changes — and that’s perfectly normal. i’m here to help you feel confident through it.
From thinning to texture shifts, I offer tailored advice, gentle haircare solutions, and style ideas designed to suit your hair’s needs right now.
Whether it’s finding products to boost volume, soften strands, or discovering a new cut that works with your changing hair, we’ll work together to keep you feeling like you.
About Julie
I’ve been cutting hair since the 90s, starting out with the legendary Charlie Miller before picking up the BHA Newcomer of the Year Award.
These days I co-run Beehive, a boutique salon in Leith known for fresh cuts, bold colour, and hair that looks effortless — whether you style it or just let it air-dry.
I’m big on individuality and have a special love for curls and texture (yes, I’m Curly Girl Method approved).
My thing? Razor-cut shags, dry cuts, French bobs, curtain bangs — shapes that frame your best features and don’t need over-styling.
Whether you’re after a low-maintenance refresh or something with a bit more edge, I’ve got the experience and the scissors to get you there.
Bridal, Red Carpet & Events
From weddings and elopements to red carpet and editorial events, I create hair and makeup that feels natural, modern, and effortless — whether soft and romantic or bold and edgy.
“Hair is the gown you never take off”
Fresh hair, good vibes — let’s make it happen.
Products I love
I use Davines for colour, shampoos, conditioners, and styling. This Italian brand is committed to sustainability, natural ingredients, and high-performance formulas.
Their products smell gorgeous, leave hair nourished, and deliver results without harsh chemicals. If you’d like, I can recommend the perfect match for your lifestyle and hair type.
