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.

The whole experience was so nice, Nicola was so kind and treated my hair so well. My hair is quite thick and it was left feeling so light and soft. The price for the service was very fair considering the talent of the stylist.

I have always received a wonderful service at Medusa in Stockbridge since I discovered their salon there a number of years ago. Nicola, my stylist, is highly skilled and puts you at ease throughout the consultation. She is highly professional and I feel she really listens to what I am looking for and intuitively styles and colours my hair to perfection every time. I can highly recommend Medusa to anyone.

I would never trust any other hairdresser other than Kat. She has an exceptional knowledge in all things hair, and is always so lovely and polite.

The salon is also so stylish, and their hygiene is exceptional in view of COVID. I always feel safe.

I was nervous about having a new hairdresser to make a major colour change after lockdown. Peter had already impressed me when I had a consultation, and I am delighted with the result of his work. Peter is exceptionally professional, but also friendly and approachable when discussing out the plan.
All other staff were obviously well-trained and professional, too, and I was well taken care of.

Almost a week after my haircut by Peter, and I still love it! He knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a specific cut, he not only cut it perfectly, with great chat, he also gave me brilliant advice on how to maintain the style at home. The whole salon feels so covid safe, and runs so smoothly that I felt perfectly comfortable as soon as I stepped inside. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Peter is an amazing person, and stylist. When I ask him to make it look good as often I don’t have a look I’m after, he flourishes his blade or scissors and voila- amazing hair. That’s why I keep going back.
