Celebrating Our Sister Salon Sobo Hair Boutique: Phorest Client Experience Award 2025

We’re so proud to share some wonderful news from our sister salon, Sobo Hair Boutique in Edinburgh. They’ve officially been awarded the 2025 Phorest Client Experience Award – a recognition that highlights their outstanding service and glowing 5-star reviews. 

What Makes This Award Special 

The Phorest Client Experience Award is only given to salons that maintain an average client rating of over 4 out of 5 stars, with at least 60 reviews collected between March 2024 and February 2025. In other words, this award comes directly from Sobo’s clients - a true testament to the care, attention, and expertise their team provides every single day.

About Sobo: Where Hair Meets Holistic Wellbeing

Founded by Claire Anderson in 2014, Sobo was created as the perfect complement to Yuu Beauty – a sanctuary for expert haircare that shares our holistic philosophy. The salon’s name, taken from the Japanese word for “grandmother,” was inspired by Claire’s own grandmother and reflects timeless beauty, warmth, and wisdom.

Just like Yuu, Sobo combines expert treatments with a focus on wellbeing. Their stylists use luxury brands like Aveda, Kérastase, and L’Oréal, carefully chosen for their sustainable values and high-performance results. Whether it’s a big transformation, a colour refresh, or a nourishing hair treatment, every appointment at Sobo is designed to leave you feeling as good as you look.

If you’re looking for a hair salon in Edinburgh that offers both creativity and care, Sobo is the perfect destination. And when it comes to advanced treatments beyond hair, our very own Yuu Beauty - a leading beauty salon in Edinburgh - is here for your skincare, laser, and wellness needs. Together, we’re proud to provide head-to-toe self-care under one family.

Why We’re Celebrating 

As their sister salon, we couldn’t be prouder of Sobo’s achievement. At Yuu, we know first-hand the dedication, passion, and care that goes into every client appointment and to see Sobo recognised for this at such a high level is absolutely deserved.

This award isn’t just about great hair, it’s about the experience. The calm, welcoming space, the warm and talented team, and the personal touches that make every client feel valued. That’s what sets Sobo apart.
