Cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate — the classic skin treatment. Edinburgh has a smaller beauty market than Glasgow but a more established and refined one, with many salons and skin clinics that have been in the same Georgian premises for decades.
One listing currently offers facials in Edinburgh, identity-verified. Listed prices run from £26 to £58, with a 60-minute appointment typically around £53. Appointments are listed at 30 or 60 minutes. They treat clients at their own studio or salon and also offer mobile appointments. Availability is concentrated in Leith.
A facial is the treatment most beauty therapists build their skin menu around. A beauty therapist cleanses the skin, exfoliates it with a scrub, enzyme or gentle acid, steams and clears congested pores where needed, applies a mask chosen for your skin type and finishes with a facial massage, serum and moisturiser. A good one starts with a few questions and a look at the skin under a magnifying lamp, so the products match what is in front of them rather than a set routine.
The result is skin that looks clearer, brighter and better hydrated for a week or two. Facials suit almost everyone, from a first visit to a monthly habit, and salons usually offer variations by concern: hydrating, brightening, calming for sensitive skin or deep-cleansing for congestion.
Expect 45 to 75 minutes. Many salons offer an express thirty-minute version that skips the mask and massage. Avoid exfoliating at home for a couple of days beforehand, and arrive without make-up if you can.

The New Town holds most of it, around George Street, Thistle Street and Stockbridge, with advanced facials, laser courses and brow specialists. Stockbridge itself is quieter and almost entirely daytime, with boutique salons and nail studios serving a loyal local clientele. Leith has grown with the waterfront regeneration and offers the widest spread of prices and treatments, including younger nail and lash studios and well-priced threading.
