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.

First cut for my hair following postpartum hair loss. Harry was great for advising what would work well with my changed hair and left with my hair looking and feeling much healthier and fuller. Thank you!

Went on a Monday and it was nice and quiet (only two stylists in). I was getting quite a change haircut wise and Mya handled that really well! Chat was limited as she was focusing which honestly worked good for me :). I mentioned how I let my hair air dry most days so instead of blow drying Mya put me under one of the heaters they use for dye-jobs and I really appreciated that.

I had the student discount which makes it a bit more affordable- but honestly even without that £66 for a cut and blow dry is pretty par for the places I’m looking at.

I had my hair restyled today going from very long (thin and fine hair) to a short bob with a fringe, with root regrowth tint. Libby did an excellent job and I left feeling much more confident about my hair! She offered great advice, showed attention to detail and was warm and welcoming. Maya was also super helpful. All round a great atmosphere. Looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you!

Harry did a great job fixing my hair that I had coloured at another salon. He was really understanding about what I wanted and took time to explain what he was going to do. He did a fab job and I am very happy. I’ll definitely be back.

I had a cut and colour with Scott today and it was incredible from start to finish. Scott was really knowledgeable, chatting me through colour and style options and I felt he really took the time to understand what I wanted. He was great to chat to, asking me questions throughout the appointment to helped me understand my hair habits, type and even showed how to style it myself much better. It’s evident how much time and care Scott puts into his clients, i left with the best colour I’ve had in years and exactly what I wanted.

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.
