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.

Nice haircut but cost more than expected from online quote. Also, one of a review specified getting a discount for new customer - did not get one.

Hi Hakima,
Thanks for your review.. your haircut price was £59 with also the PPE charge of £3, they are both stated on the website,
We are really happy you like your new hair cut,
Regarding new client discount this only applies if someone you know who has been to kat and recommends you to kat,
Hope to see you in the salon again,
Thanks

LOVE IT!!!!!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience/cut - just went through a breakup and was in sore need of a makeover. I made an appointment for 11:30 on the same day just a few hours beforehand. Lauryn was very friendly, professional and listened and paid attention to the cut I said I wanted. She also knew how to layer hair properly, and my hair is quite thick so not all stylists have done this well before, but she was an absolute pro! I'm very pleased with how it turned out and have already gotten so many compliments on it from my friends. Will definitely be returning.

Kat has been so great looking after my hair for almost a year now. I have very curly hair. She understood how my hair behaves and gave me the most perfect curly hair cut I’ve ever had. It suits my face and my curls. Kat is also very gentle, and patient and very skilled at what she does.

My hair was so long after lockdown and hadn’t had a cut or colour for 6 months. I explained to Peter what I wanted and he seemed to know. The colour is fabulous and he cut it just as I asked him. I have already put 2 appointments in for next time. Peter is such a charming young man . Thank you so much.

Not great service overall. Although the stylist was polite,I think she did not understand how my hair are and what haircut I wanted.I have showed pictures and I try to explain but I am sorry to say that the haircut was not good.Also the service and the overall result does not justify the price.I was expecting to have a little chat with the hairdresser to let me know how I could adjust the haircut that I have shown to her to my face and type of hair.
