Medusa Hair Salon Stockbridge, Edinburgh

31 Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH4 1HX

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.

Once again a transformation of dreams. I came with my pictures and lauryn talked me through everything. Lauryn explained exactly what she could do and was realistic in all aspects of what I was asking for.
Lauryn explained everything and each step she was taking.
All the staff within Medusa were extremely friendly and chatty.
Honestly the best hair salon in the country and well worth my drive from Fife each time.

Really lovely experience at Medusa Stockbridge. Casey not only listened carefully to what I was hoping for but also managed to work wonders with my awkward hair. She created a really smart stylish cut which will be super easy to look after. She is a genius with short hair! Thank you

Came in for a cut and colour - Chloe did an amazing job, as usual. I love that she is collaborative and that we can work together as client and stylist to get the best results. She also really knows her stuff when it comes to colour and did a great job of giving me a sun-kissed lift ready for the spring months ahead. Would give 6 stars for service if I could!

Hi there, thanks for your review and your feedback greatly appreciate it,

We all loved having you in the salon and we absolutely love Anna and her colouring,
I can assure you all our staff are not judgmental, medusa pride ourslefs as a salon that accepts everyone,
When creative colour is getting done we all take an interest in what the stylist is doing, we all have alternative clients and we absolutely love the confidence all our clients have when leaving the salon,
The December rush is crazy in all salons in the city, hopefully when we see you again next year the Salon is quieter, have a great Christmas and we hope you live your new hair

Amazing service

Chloe has been doing my hair for a few years now and each time, she does the best job, when I first started seeing Chloe my hair was damaged and she recommended products to help and now my hair is healthy !! When she does my colour it always turn out better than expected and I always get so many compliments on it. I recommend booking in with Chloe as she makes you feel comfortable, helps you if you have any questions or are unsure of something and most of all because her service is amazing.
