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’m back in the land of the living- my lockdown hair has disappeared thanks to Peter. Peter is utterly dedicated to getting the right style and he doesn’t push products at you to buy, it’s a lovely calming experience there. I took in a picture of a hairstyle so I don’t have to try to explain what I want. Fantastic place truly xxxx

I've had my hair done by Peter at Medusa Stockbridge for a few years now. Peter is a top level stylist, my hair looks beautiful and the haircut remains in a great shape for 2-3 months. For me it's an ultimate gauge of quality.
Peter is courteous and easy going and goes out of his way to make you enjoy your visit. The atmosphere at Medusa Stockbridge is welcoming and unpretentious. I'm very satisfied with my hair and the experience and keep coming back.

My stylist was lovely and chatty, she listened to everything I was asking about how I would like my hair and she also provided professional advice on what might work best. Her knowledge of colouring was excellent too. The only negative I can point out is her coffin nails were digging into my hair and head when she was a washing the colour off and massaging, Felt like they were ripping my hair out! Would be much better with short nails. Only a small negative,, would otherwise thoroughly recommended the salon.
