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.

As always, happy with Chantelle's easy-going but confident manner. She listens to any concerns and offers helpful suggestions when required. Today, Junior a tad heavy handed. Realise rising prices are becoming the norm, but perhaps advance notice would be nice...never quite sure what I'll be charged on each visit until I get to the till! Next question not really relevant.

Hi Fiona thanks for your feedback, I’m happy that chantelle has been a great stylist,
I will make sure the assistant is aware that she is heavy handed, thanks for your feedback, we don’t know unless clients say, so thanks ,
Regarding price, let’s point st your file, it is always slight different because of the colour offers we have on that month so your bill is lower and also with a slight price increase that is happening everywhere the reason the price has changed is due to that,
So moving forward it should be the same price, unless there’s a promotion on which will save you money.:) thanks

Hi mari, I’m glad all our staff were professional and polite, regarding noise that is something we cannot change when the salon is fully booked we have so many bodies in the salon the noise level will rise, our quieter days are Monday and Tuesday if you would prefer a slightly quieter day, thanks :)

Had to request to re-do but became apparent that she has no skill in cutting men’s hair. Has to go to nearest barber the following morning to have it sorted. Also, was told £30 by reception girl and actually charged £38

Since discovering the sheer talent of Peter Mellon at Medusa Stockbridge I’ve stopped wishing I had different hair. He always makes it look amazing. And if you don’t believe me, ask all my pals who have seen my hair and then decided to go to Peter too. We wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.
