Medusa Broughton Street Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

23, Broughton St, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH1 3JU

About us

Medusa like to do things differently - we're an award-winning Edinburgh hairdressing salon consistently creating new styles at the vanguard of fashion, but all the while exuding a genuine warmth and welcome. And that's because we obsess about hair, and equally, about how to make every minute of your time with us memorable (for all the right reasons). Sit back, have a cappuccino, have a wine, or have a funky organic tea if you fancy. From the second you step in the door, we want to make you feel at home, and get to know you, your hair and how you want to feel in your new hairstyle.

No rush, no fuss, no problem.

Let us make your hair rock.

I have been coming to Egg for sometime now and when I first arrived my hair was in really bad condition. I felt like the curls in my hair had fallen out.

Now after Craig has done his magic my curl is definitely back and my hair feels amazing.

Definitely recommend for a hairdresser who knows their stuff.

Had a fantastic experience today. Utterly transforming. With rich tones which has really brought my hair some warmth. A good healthy cut which was needed has a great shape and plenty ways I can wear this style. Would highly recommend. Great customer focused experience. I even managed to bag a great bargain with a gift set. I have now officially started my Xmas shopping.

Surely 19 years custom speaks volumes!

Should I elaborate......Craig is honest, very experienced, listens and is genuine as to what style will suit you,
I don't want a 'yes' person to cut my hair as that often does not achieve the best results.
Keep up the fantastic job Craig.
