Stylist Spotlight Meet Sarah – Creative Cuts and Colour with a Personal Touch
When it comes to creative colour transformations and effortlessly wearable hair, few stylists do it better than Sarah, Artistic Director at Sobo Hair Boutique. With nearly two decades of experience and a passion for helping people fall back in love with their hair, Sarah has become a go-to for clients seeking both bold changes and thoughtful, tailored cuts.
Meet Sarah – Edinburgh Hairdresser and Colour Specialist
Sarah has been working as a hairdresser since 2006 and joined the team at our Edinburgh hair salon in 2018. Since then, she’s become a cornerstone of our creative team and is known for her warm energy, expert eye, and impressive colouring skills.
Her favourite part of the job? That spark of confidence and happiness clients feel when they leave the salon is transformed. Whether it’s a complete colour overhaul or a small but meaningful style update, Sarah loves using her creativity to help people feel amazing.
What Makes Sarah’s Colour Work Stand Out
Sarah’s area of expertise lies in creative colour work – think colour blocking, vivid shades, and dramatic transformations from light to dark (or vice versa). Her clients trust her not only for her technical skills but for her ability to craft a look that feels personal, flattering, and exciting.
She particularly loves working with reds, bold brunettes, and clients who want something a little out of the ordinary. Looking for a hair colouring expert in Edinburgh who can bring your Pinterest board to life? Sarah’s your stylist.
Client Love for Sarah
We could tell you how talented Sarah is, but we’ll let her clients do the talking:
“Sarah did an amazing job in my hair! Totally recommend for wavy and curly girls that fear haircuts. Everyone was so nice and friendly! The place is also beautiful and you get a lovely scalp massage!” – Fernanda
“Sarah is a fantastic hair stylist! She cuts my hair with care and it never feels rushed. I trust her completely.” – Rose
“Sarah is a colour genius who doesn’t shy away from a challenge! Her knowledge is incredible and I am always so delighted with my hair.” – Marie
Her Top Tip for Healthy Hair
As a stylist who works with a lot of colour clients, Sarah is passionate about hair health. Her number one piece of advice? Always use a heat protector – even before blow drying.
“People forget that a hairdryer can be as hot on your hair as straighteners,” she says. “Using a product like Kérastase Extentioniste Thermique can make a huge difference in protecting your hair’s strength and shine.”
Why Clients Love Booking with Sarah at Sobo
Beyond her skills with scissors and colour, Sarah is known for her ability to put people at ease. She listens closely, offers honest advice, and genuinely cares about making you feel confident.
