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.

This is 3rd time I’ve been to Chloe and have had a good service. Yesterday though my appointment was interrupted by another client and she didn’t do my whole appointment was a bit unhappy they I had to wait and get someone else to do my toner. Felt it wasn’t as good as last time when Chloe did it but otherwise ok .

Great atmosphere- I really trusted the salon to help me with a bad colouring job from a previous hairdresser at another salon and I was right to chose Medusa. Lauren was sweet and kind and understood exactly what I wanted. My colour is even better than I’d hoped for ! Great - I’m going to be a regular !!

Chloe (stylist) & I spoke prior to how I wanted to get my hair done as it was my Ball event the same evening as my hair is one if he darkest & stubborn type. However, with super dedication & motivation I was given the best service of all time. I really appreciate the service & will definitely go back again.

P.S: The outcome was brilliant, everybody at the event loved my hair colour & style.

I had a hair emergency, I am going to a wedding and my I was able to be slotted in with Chloe. She was fabulous from start to finish, specifically she was so informative regarding the products she was using, and the products that would inevitably help my hair in the future. She took care and attention in listening to how I wanted my hair coloured, and the end product was fabulous. Moreover, she informed me about the QR code regarding magazines, which I thought was a fabulous addition, not only in relation to the pandemic, but having access to magazines that may not be available usually. She is clearly a well valued asset to the Medusa team and I had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately I couldn’t attribute this review to Chloe as her name was not available on the stylist drop down box, but I hope she receives my compliments.

After having the same hairdresser for nearly 10 years until I moved to Edinburgh going somewhere new was quite nerve wracking. When I had a consult, Kat understood this and really took the time to talk through what she was doing and what we were aiming for. She also helped find a time to come in when the salon was quieter than usual which was ideal.

We decided that as I hadn't had my hair coloured in nearly a year the time was right to go in a new direction and go blonde. This is not a short process but we had great chat, cups of tea and a lovely playlist.

I couldn't be happier with the results - a fresh new look for me and a new regular for Kat.

I loved my colour but feel that the price of the conditioning treatment should perhaps be highlighted prior to application. I did not ask how much it would be but it was certainly more than I anticipated.
I was also a little bit disappointed that my hair did not get cut, even at the ends. I wrongly assumed that a trim came with the blow dry as I felt it was a bit pricey for just being dried.
This being said, the staff were very nice and Nicola was very knowledgable about the colour and gave excellent advice.

Response from Medusa Stockbridge

Hi Gail, Thanks for your feedback, I am glad that you loved your colour, I’m sorry that the price wasnt highlighted but if you upgrade your service it will come at an additional cost, as any other salon would do this too. We use very luxury products and our pricing is in line with all top city centre salons.
Our prices reflect our standards,experience and location.

Unfortunately a trim would be classed as a cut and blowdry and not a blowdry, if you had wanted to have a cut you would have had to book for that service.

We aim to be transparent with all our clients and i wish you had raised your concern when you were in salon, we could have gave you a receipt and a breakdown of cost.

Im glad all the staff were lovely, we are Lucky to have such incredible staff.. Nicola is very talented,
Thanks

Chloe is fabulous!

I left with fun bouncy layers and MUCH healthier-looking hair. So glad to find a great local stylist, and I’ll definitely be coming back!
