  • 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.

It's an absolute treat entering the Medusa Bread St salon and seeing Corinne every 6 weeks. Lovely welcoming happy salon vibe. And ALWAYS a fabulous cut from Corinne with fun, genuinely kind chats. I couldn't recommend Medusa and Corinne more highly. Isla x

Corinne the master at hair wizardry
4.8

I reached out to Corinne as I had seen her work, via social media posts of other Medusa Artists had posted. I have exceptionally long hair, and my main issues were around damage and longevity of colour. Corinne was clear with expectations, what we can plan to do to maintain my hair and not have me spending a small fortune. We chose a lovely colour and did full baby lights, and a bunch of additional wizardry. Corinne’s work has been commented on by a lot of my work colleagues and on my social media posts. Everyone says the colour really suits me, and despite having my hair being cut I still have mermaid locks. Thank you for a genuinely wonderful service, I look forward to working with you again.

The only reason I never put value down to 4/5 stars is I truest hate parting with my money - but it was worth it.

I love my cut and colour and chat with Marnie.
She is a very experienced stylist and colourist. I am at the stage where the grey hair is showing through quickly but Marnie has created a nice colour blend which carries it through for six to seven weeks. Marnie understands exactly what cut I want and creates the look with ease and precision.

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.
