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.

Well what can I say I’m very overwhelmed with my cut considering it was a voucher appointment, I was still treated like a regular cilent which i didn’t expect, Jodie was such a lovely professional who washed, cut, blow dried and styled my hair. My hair was better than I'd hoped. The curls kept so well I carried them off well on Saturday evening too. I will look forward to visiting the salon again, I would highly recommended Jodie

Thanks Jodie and EGG

My routine visit to Craig and his team at Egg is always far from “routine “ by experience. Always fun. Each time, I look forward to Craig’s colour magic and when I thought he couldn’t raise the bar any more, he smashed it????. Used a new trick to retain the colour through the ends of my hair for longer. Hi 5! Smashed it . Your magic has worked.????‍♀️. Big time .

I purchased a Itson voucher for highlights and cut. I had never been to EGG and I needed to find a new hairdressers so I took a chance and bought the voucher to let me try it. I am so glad I did- Donna was great! She listened to what I wanted, offered great advice and information, but never pressured me. We picked a style together and even though my hair took a while to develop the colour, she was so patient. It turned out exactly how I wanted it, perfect for me and my style. Highly recommend Donna. Salon was clean and lovely inside too, definitely going back.

Got my hair colour done by Craig. He made suggestion rather than do highlights/lowlights to do full colour which I haven't done before with my redhair and I trusted him which was the best thing. Love the colour it's fab! Craig also knows a lot about curly ,thick hair which is a great news for me so I will be rebooking in future
