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.

Peter cuts my hair perfectly every time. Simply the best hairdresser in Edinburgh in my opinion!

While the salon is always full of customers it doesn’t have that hectic atmosphere of many salons.

I have never had a hair dresser that I always return to, but Medusa in Stockbridge is the first. I've been about 5 times and will continue going back.
I normally book my appointments with Kat (a director) who is so easy to talk to. Today I had an appointment with Victoria who was also lovely.
Great atmosphere, everyone is happy and chatting away, nice and clean and a stylish decor with lots of plants.
My hair always feels and looks amazing, I highly recommend medusa Stockbridge.

The most important skill apart from cutting expertise is listening to the customer who knows her hair better than anyone. Combine this with the skill of the hairdresser who understands and is trained to know what is possible and how to achieve it is a winning formula every time and will guarantee a return visit, if that is the aim of the salon.
