Welcome to Vanity Thrills Hair & Makeup, the home of glamour.  Vanity Thrills was founded by national award-winning hair stylist Ariana Marcantonio, formally of Scotland's first vintage salon Miss Dixiebelle (now closed).

There are no gimmicks here, just passion and expertise. Whether it's an authentic look you're after or you're more of a modern pin up, we've got it covered. We're bridal specialists and also offer contemporary styling and a full hairdressing service including cutting and colouring.

Middy Cuts

One of our most requested haircuts is the staple of authentic vintage styling - the Middy. Many of our clients come to us because they've not managed to find a hairdresser who can make head nor tail of those famous 1940s diagrams! Here at Vanity Thrills, Ariana is a Middy Machine! To get a great vintage finish, the right cut is an important foundation, whether that be the true Middy or a softer, more modern version. 

Our other popular cut? The Bettie Bangs, named after 1950s pinup Bettie Page. That perfect curve, that gorgeous blunt line. Rest assured, your hair is in the right place at Vanity Thrills.

We use a mixture of authentic and modern techniques, including wet and heat setting, and high quality products to achieve the perfect finish.  Some of the hair products we use are Kenra Professional, Loreal, Schwartzkopf, Wella, Suavacita and Tigi. Makeup products inlcude Illamasqua, Bobbi Brown, Mac, Laura Mercier, and Armani.

If you have any allergy issues, please let us know in advance and we will do our utmost to provide suitable products.
