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.

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.

Response from Medusa Stockbridge

Thankyou for your feedback, we are pleased that you are happy with the service and love the products offered, unfortunately due to the cost of living crisis and inflation on all products we have really no alternative but to have these prices, please be assured a lot of time and effort went into making sure our new prices were going to be manageable for clients whilst also keeping us in buisness , we have a 10% rebooking discount and recommend a friend discount for you to utilise, again sorry you feel like this and hopefully see you again soon

Love it!

Casey did an amazing job transitioning my hair from bright red to a cool blonde balayage, which required time and strategy. It took quite a few months but she kept me on track and gave many encouraging words along the way. Part of the reason why it took time is because she was looking after the health of my hair by adding lift to my hair colour in stages. She also insisted on giving my hair treatment during each colour session. I am just so happy with the results now. Casey is a great colourist.
