  • Description

    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.

Since my stylist Kate went on maternity leave I have had appointments with Marnie and Neva who have both maintained Kate's amazing standards. The salon is always spotless, it has a relaxed atmosphere and everyone is so lovely and seems really happy working there. This really elevates the experience for me. I've loved every cut, colour, product and style I've had, I think it's worth the price.

I came by Corinne by chance after popping into the Bread Street Salon, but I couldn’t be more grateful for her being around when I popped in and being able to book a cut with her. I’ve wrecked my hair from years and years of home bleaching and I appreciated her honesty about what was possible with my hair for my wedding in a few weeks. I liked her so much that I put my trust in her completely before she even got me in the chair. She cut my hair today into an amazing Bob that I don’t think I’d ever had the confidence to go for after having long hair for ever. I felt like a looked ten years younger and left happier than I was when I went in. I didn’t really think a good hair cut could make such a difference and I’m thanking my lucky stars I found her. Im going back next week for some colour and can’t wait to see what she does !

Neva was gentle and kind and listened to my needs and concerns. She offered knowledgeable advice on using colour to give my hair the illusion of being more voluminous without having to resort to extensions and gave me a beautiful hair cut and blow dry. I left the salon feeling beautiful and confident!

From start to finish Corinne made me feel super special. The cut was excellent, exactly what I asked for. Attention to detail and high quality service, that doesn't feel rushed. She gave great advice on how to manage and take better care of my hair. She's also very welcoming and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back.

I came as a walk in and Corinne serviced me. So nice and professional. I wanted a specific hair style and she walked me through what she was doing and why and let me have full control of what I wanted. Couldn’t recommend enough and will 100% come back for my touch ups <3

Corinne the hair magician

I am that girl that has asked to go from dark brown to ash blonde…so this gal had her work cut out! But, Corinne has been very honest with me about what I should expect which I really appreciate. She moved things around to accommodate me and what my hair needed to look the best it could and it was a total joy to have her style my hair!
Thank you for making me feel beautiful!

I have been getting my hair done by Corinne for a while now and cannot recommend her highly enough. I have very fine hair which has been thinning over the years. Corinne’s knowledge and expertise about how to colour and style my hair is superb. My hair is in the best condition it has been for years!!
The salon is a really friendly and welcoming place and I really look forward to my visits.

This was my second appointment with Sharee (she cut my hair last month) and the first time I've had my hair professionally coloured post pandemic. Sharee is fantastic, she really listens to your needs and wants, and interprets them with creativity, intelligence and sensitivity. I will definitely be coming back and I can't recommend her highly enough. 👌👌👌
