A Salon Experience That Truly Understands You
For many, a trip to the salon is a time to relax, refresh, and leave feeling confident. But for others, the experience can be daunting, uncomfortable, or even impossible in a traditional salon setting. Hair in the City (HITC) understands that everyone deserves access to high-quality haircare in an environment where they feel safe and respected
That’s why we offer a dedicated private salon room in Glasgow, catering to clients who require privacy for a variety of personal, medical, or cultural reasons. While this might seem like a small addition, it makes a world of difference to many—and we believe more salons should follow suit.
The Growing Demand for Private Salon Rooms
The beauty industry is evolving, but many salons still don’t consider the needs of clients who require privacy. There are several reasons why someone might feel uncomfortable in an open salon setting, including:
1. Anxiety and Sensory Overload
For some, salons can be overwhelming. The noise of hairdryers, the chatter of stylists and clients, and the general hustle and bustle can be too much. Clients who experience social anxiety or sensory sensitivities often avoid salons altogether because of this.
Conditions like alopecia, chemotherapy-related hair loss, trichotillomania, and hormonal changes can make a trip to the salon feel like an emotionally charged experience. Many people experiencing hair loss want a space where they can receive treatment without feeling exposed to the public.
3. Religious and Cultural Modesty Requirements
For clients who wear head coverings for religious reasons, such as hijabs or Sikh women, privacy is not just a preference; it’s a necessity. In many cases, they cannot remove their head coverings in public spaces, making standard salon environments unsuitable.
How HITC’s Private Salon Room Supports These Clients

We believe that haircare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their personal circumstances. Our private salon room in Glasgow is designed to accommodate clients who need a space that feels safe, welcoming, and discreet. Here’s how it helps:
A Calm, Quiet Space for Anxious Clients
Our private salon room provides a relaxed environment, free from distractions and noise. Whether a client struggles with social anxiety or simply prefers a quieter setting, this space allows them to enjoy their hair appointment in peace.
A Judgment-Free Zone for Those Experiencing Hair Loss
We understand how sensitive hair loss can be. Our discreet, compassionate approach ensures that clients receiving treatments such as wig fittings, hairpiece styling, or scalp treatments can do so in a fully private setting.
A Respectful and Private Space for Religious and Cultural Needs
At HITC, we prioritise inclusivity. Our private salon room allows clients to have their hair done without compromising their religious beliefs. We respect the importance of privacy and modesty and strive to provide a salon experience that honours these values.
Why More Salons Should Follow Suit
While HITC is proud to offer this space, we believe it’s time for more salons to embrace inclusivity in haircare. Here’s why:
The Beauty Industry Needs to Be More Inclusive
Too often, beauty services cater to the majority and overlook the unique needs of individuals who require additional accommodations. Every client deserves to feel comfortable and respected in a salon setting.
Private Salon Rooms Benefit Both Clients and Businesses
For clients, a private salon room means they no longer have to sacrifice their comfort for quality haircare.
For salons, offering this service creates a reputation for inclusivity and attracts a wider customer base. Word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients can help salons stand out in a crowded market.
