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 love my hair these days after so long of never being happy with it. Nicola knows my hair, curly or straight and cuts it for both. Frequently I have found stylists don't cut for my natural curl but not this time, she knows my hair. I can style it easily and she always gives me tips on what to do to change it up. So happy!

Not sure if they charged me correctly

I was happy with my hair however I got a balayage colour which I was told would be £100 and when I went to pay it was £126. They charged me for a blow dry as well. I asked was this a mistake as I would assume the blowdry should be included but no, they said this is policy.

Nicola is always super helpful when it comes to my hair. She’s super friendly, always willing to offer suggestions and helping with my unwilling hair.
The young girl washing hair and sweeping today (2/11) was also very friendly to everyone she approached.
Would recommend this salon to anyone and especially Nicola who always delivers fab results!

I felt like the stylist ***** did not listen to what I asked for. Asked for a curtain fringe and she gave a short blunt fringe. She clearly had no idea how to cut or treat curly/wavy hair. She just did what she wanted and added loads of products that straightened the hair and added frizz. Think she was in a hurry to get me out of there so she could go for Saturday night drinks.

Chloe did an amazing job at fixing my failed home bleach experiment. Brought more depth to my hair with a subtle freehand balayage without compromising the length while restoring some health to my over processed hair. She also did a thorough strand test beforehand and adjusted our session to a technique that would work for my hair (decided to do a slower process to prevent breaking).
By far the best hair salon experience I’ve had as the staff managed to accommodate my wishes to the possibilities for my hair, giving me a result I’m more than happy with.
