Wow! Delighted is an understatement. I have naturally wavy mid length hair. More often than not, no one seems to cut my layers the way I prefer which results in a lot of teasing by me while styling. Marco got it spot on. Woke up this morning with perfect hair. Best haircut I have ever had, Marco has a great personality too. Thank you Marco and looking forward to my colour in a few weeks.

Medusa is my favourite salon I’ve been to so far: great staff and clean and welcoming environment.

I’ve been three times so far and I haven’t been disappointed once. It is a little pricey (especially for a student) but it is worth investing in your hair. Would and have recommended this salon to friends.

He is great to chat to, makes me feel completely at ease and always makes my hair look great. He knows exactly what I want without me having to say anything! Couldn’t recommend him enough!!

Overall, my hair looks alive again! I have long wavy hair and it takes me a moment to depart with my dead ends. I am a stage 5, dead ends clinger with my hair, due to my love of long hair. However, the end result made me glad I did! I have beautiful fresh locks, whilst still maintaining a good length.

Thanks again,

Nadia
