Salon and barber shop fit-out across Lothian
Our salon and barber shop fit-out team works across Lothian and the wider East Central Scotland, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Musselburgh, Edinburgh, Livingston.
A salon fit-out builds styling stations, backwash areas, reception, retail display and any treatment rooms, with the hot water, drainage and power each station needs.
Working in Lothian
Most enquiries we get from Lothian come from convenience stores and off-licences or boutiques and independent retailers, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
East Central Scotland includes the capital's historic streets, where much of the centre is protected, alongside modern towns with newer retail developments.
What does the work include?
- Styling stations with mirrors and power
- Backwash units with hot water and drainage
- Reception desk and retail display
- Treatment rooms and partitions
What approvals might you need in Lothian?
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
- Treatment rooms offering special procedures may need a local authority licence.
- Hair traps on backwash drainage save costly blockages.
Questions about salon and barber shop fit-out in Lothian
Will I need a bigger water heater?
Often yes. Several backwash basins running at once need more hot water than a standard shop heater gives.

Yes. We carry out salon and barber shop fit-out in Musselburgh, Edinburgh and across Lothian. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
