A classic, French boutique style hair salon – with a quiet spa zone
After 9 years in Church Street Elle Martin Hair Salon has just moved to 21 Broad Street, in the old Royal Bank of Scotland building just opposite the old library. The photos on this page are still of the Church Street salon and will be updated shortly.
Our lovely new salon in Broad Street is easy to find, just yards from the cathedral, with car parks and metered on-street parking nearby.
The new salon at 21 Broad Street is all on the ground floor (with the exception of a first floor loo.) It is elegant, luxurious and spacious and with a beautiful decor of soft muted earthy tones producing a relaxing and comforting vibe. Large and small fresh green plants are placed around the salon bringing their own environmental magic to the space.
The salon is very well lit with good natural light coming in through the huge windows supported by soft wall and ceiling lights. Chairs are supremely comfortable and large mirrors give clients a perfect view of their hair and the work in progress.
Hair is washed in a separate quiet, cleansing zone where relaxing spa music is played, hair washed and conditioned – and heads are gently massaged.
The aim is to make each client feel supremely welcome and able to enjoy a thoroughly relaxing experience in a beautiful setting. Friendly professional stylists produce beautifully cut, coloured and healthy hair that will leave each client feeling like a million dollars and will turn heads.
It is the most beautiful Salon! Professional, elegant, classy & tasteful describes not only the look of the Salon but also the service I receive as a client. The colour, cut & finish of my hair literally turns heads.

Colour Consultations & Skin Allergy Patch Tests
Elle Martin Hair Salon uses Wella hair colours. New colour clients are kindly requested to come in for a skin allergy patch test and a colour consultation with a senior stylist at least 48 hours prior to their appointment day.
A small amount of Wella colour cream will be applied to the forearm just below the elbow and will need to remain on the skin for 45 minutes. Clients will need to leave with their sleeve rolled up for 45 minutes before they can wash the cream off.
This consultation and patch test both safeguards client health and safety and also gives the stylist the opportunity to see the hair, plan the colour process and ensure maximum quality of service on the appointment day.
Client Satisfaction Policy
Every endeavour is made to give 100% client satisfaction.
If a client is not totally satisfied with their hair after an appointment and they notify the salon within 3 days, they can receive a further service free of charge. If, after this, the client is still not satisfied, then a partial or complete refund may be considered.
Appointment Cancellations
Salon staff are happy to find alternative appointment times when requested but kindly ask that clients please try to give a minimum of 2 days notice of an appointment change or cancellation. For late cancellations or “no shows” cancellation fees will be charged if we cannot fill the space with another client. Clients with mobile phones will be sent a text reminder 4 days before their appointment and clients who only have land lines will be phoned.
In the rare event of a client making repeat late cancellations – especially of long colour appointments – then a client may not only be charged a cancellation fee but also be asked to pay in advance for their future appointments. Please see the Services & Prices section for full details on salon policy.
The Client Waiting List
The Salon maintains an effective client waiting list for clients who are unable to get an appointment for the date and time they prefer. When another client cancels or changes their appointment, a waiting client is contacted and fitted in.
Access
Whilst the ground floor of the salon is accessible by wheelchair from street level, regrettably, the hair washing spa zone area on the lower ground floor of this historic building is not.
