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.

Had a terrible experience first with Chantelle. Gave Mya a chance. First appointment fantastic. Second downhill. No advice of her own and following advice from previous hairdresser. Then went downhill even more as appointments were cancelled and rescheduled twice because of her working different days. Same scenario as Chantelle. We then talked about the colour for next appointment but she then said colour would be fine until next time. I paid over a hundred pounds but came out feeling like I’d never been at the hairdressers. We made a next appointment and discussed what we would do next. I then got another phone call to cancel yet another appointment which she made herself and had to reschedule just before Xmas. I felt on the day that I could not have my hair done how I wanted. I was made to wait for a long time and my hair for the money I paid is very disappointing. I was talking to Mya about what style I wanted to and when i asked her what she there was clear that she was totally not listening to a word I had said. I felt totally disregarded as a customer. I will never return to this salon again even though I have been coming here for about 6 years now. Very disappointed.

I have been coming to Chloe over the past few years - she has seen me through bobs, blonde balayages and layers, and she has been flawless every single time. She really understands hair types, especially if you have quite thick hair. Her knowledge of products and styling is so impressive, and she will always give you an honest perspective on evolving your hair. Medusa in general is a wonderful salon, the team are so lovely! I had a trim today (no colour service) and it was, as always, a wonderful experience. Thanks!

After visiting Medusa for the first time this week, I couldn’t wait to leave a review. I am absolutely thrilled with my haircut from Harry. He gave me such helpful advice for my hair type and has given me one of the nicest haircuts I’ve ever had. My hair can be tricky for even the most expert hairdressers but Harry made it look like light work. I don’t remember the last time I walked out of a hairdresser feeling so good! Thank you!! I will definitely be back!

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.

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!
