Skies Are No Limit - Interiors

The name Ruby Skies might sound like the latest Hollywood blockbuster or singing sensation, but it is in fact Glasgow’s newest hair and beauty salon.

Owner Angela Buchanan set up her first beauty salon five years ago and wanted to branch out into hairdressing to offer her clients a one-stop shop.

When a salon that she had been using for 20 years became available, she jumped at the chance to buy it.

After a three month refurbishment, the finished result is a sophisticated, clean, minimalist salon that oozes comfort.
