Celebrating Success: Sobo Hair Boutique Wins the 2025 Phorest Client Experience Award
We are thrilled to announce that Sobo Hair Boutique in Edinburgh has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Phorest Client Experience Award. This recognition is extra special because it comes directly from you – our wonderful clients.
Between March 2024 and February 2025, Sobo received over 60 glowing reviews with an average rating of more than 4 out of 5 stars. These reviews highlighted not just the quality of our hair services, but also the welcoming atmosphere and personal care that our team delivers every day.
What the Award Means
The Phorest Client Experience Award is given only to salons that consistently go above and beyond. It celebrates more than great cuts and colours – it recognises the complete salon journey. From the moment you step through our doors to the final blow-dry, your experience matters to us.
Winning this award reflects the values at the heart of Sobo: expert styling, luxury products, and genuine client care.
A Look Back at Our Story
Founded in 2014 by Claire Anderson, Sobo was created as a space where haircare meets holistic wellbeing. Inspired by the Japanese word “Sobo” meaning grandmother, the salon embodies timeless beauty, wisdom, and connection.
Over the past decade, Sobo has become one of Edinburgh’s most loved hair salons. Our philosophy is simple: to provide expert haircare in a calm, nurturing environment. From precision cuts and colour to nourishing treatments, everything we do is designed to leave you feeling confident, relaxed, and restored.
Why Our Clients Love Us
Many of the reviews that helped us win this award mention the little details – the friendly welcome, the calming environment, the way our stylists really listen. Whether you are booking a simple trim, a bold new colour, or a smoothing Keratin treatment, our team takes the time to understand your hair goals and bring them to life.
We work with trusted professional brands such as Aveda, Kérastase, and L’Oréal, ensuring that every product we use is chosen for both performance and sustainability.
A Thank You to Our Clients
This award belongs just as much to our clients as it does to our team. Your loyalty, kind words, and trust mean the world to us. Every five-star review, every recommendation, and every return visit helps us grow and continue doing what we love.
