Edinburgh's top beauty experts are getting residents ready for summer, offering over 1000 free treatments, tutorials and makeovers across two packed weekends at St Andrew Square (23-24 May) and outside The Huxley (30-31 May).

Free, bookable appointments include a Sassoon Salon blow and style service, a Decleor's mini-facial and a No7's Match Made foundation and lips service. Lush Spa and Neal's Yard Remedies will let shoppers make their own organic products.

At the 'beauty heroes' marquee at St Andrew Square, experts cover everything from makeup contouring by B.Makeup to botox and filler demos by Beyond MediSpa and beach up-dos from Toni & Guy. There will be live music and cocktail masterclasses across both weekends.

Spa in the City attendees will receive discounts from retailers, bar and restaurants, providing the chance to make a day of it with a bite to eat or a cocktail. Goodie bags will be distributed to the first 800 attendees.
