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.

I have visited all Medusa salons and went to Raeburn salon for second visit. I mentioned in my email I wanted to discuss colouring as-well. I met with ***** and should point out i had lovely very long healthy hair and was after a trim and style. Felt ***** was not really asking what I wanted or offering any professional input and then things got weird... she measured my hair against the back of the chair and we agreed the new length she then made me stand up to cut my hair!!?? Never had to do that before but I foolishly trusted her. Anyway i tried to ask questions and make sure she knew what I wanted- sadly her disinterest was obvious and I didn't even bring up colouring with her. I understand she may have been having a bad day but i am now left with a haircut that is shorter than requested and I can't complain as you can only cut it shorter, which I don't want. She has cut the lengths at the back shorter than the front so my hair sits weird and looks horrendous tied back. I appreciate my hair was cut 4 weeks ago bit I am still unhappy and have to speak out as I don't want someone else leaving the salon feeling like I felt and still feel about my horrible hair cut. I am concerned that you employ a hairdresser who can't even simply trim long hair to 1 length and as a result i wont be back and live locally so have also warned others....

I will end on a positive note that she did give me my 30% discount for my second visit but only after I had to insist.Apparently the discount only applies if you use the same hairdresser not the salon.

"L" was excellent. She was very attentive and listened to my questions. She did an excellent job with my hair as i was transitioning from very long hair to very short. I wanted to donate my hair to a charity to use for wigs for cancer oatients. She knew exactly what to do to prepare it for shipment. I was really appreciative of her help.

I am not the sort of woman that relishes time and money spent in a salon. However, since visiting Peter st Medusa, my opinion has changed somewhat. He puts you at ease immediately, really takes the time to listen to your requirements and truly consults with you, studying the texture and nature of your hair. I have recommended him to all my friends and family.
