Medusa Teviot Place Hair Salon Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

6/7 Teviot Place, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH1 2QZ

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.

Refresh and k18

I was really happy with my cut and k18 keratin treatment.. Zara listened and cut off just the right amount leaving my hair refreshed.. she had a good ear for listening, communicating and leaving me quietly. She advised me not to colour which i felt was wise for my hair. The whole experience was efficient and pleasant .. i was so pleased with the outcome! The shampoo and head massage was great too! i'll definitely return!. Thank you Zara and my shampooista!!

Kate is a fabulous hairstylist. I have 'difficult' hair (thick, curly) which has always been a nightmare to deal with at the hairdressers, but it is all very easy with Kate, who keeps it looking good, but also in a way that is manageable for a working mom! I also appreciate the recommendations on products etc that will work with my hair. Visiting Medusa is always comfortable, friendly and efficient, with great results.

I decided to take the plunge and get a full fringe (although at my first appointment with Eilidh earlier in the year, we eased in with curtain bangs) and I couldn't be happier with the result. Eilidh understood exactly what I wanted and made sure that the style would fit in with my lifestyle (ie with minimal styling!). Looking forward to coming in for a free fringe trim! Can't recommend enough. X

CURLY HAIR PEOPLE ! FRET NO MORE .

Willie Pryde
18th Jun 2022
5.0

I haven't been to a hairdresser for years, (I've had a friend cut it at home. Alas...she has cancer.) so I was a bit apprehensive selecting. -In earlier years I felt the stylist was practicing on me, as if curly hair customers were few and far between, at least that's what it looked like afterwards.

However I couldn't have picked a better moment to walk through Medusa's door. Not only were they able to deal with me right there& then but I was attended to by possibly the most accomplished stylist of curly hair around.

In decades gone by, my hair was cut by a friend, Peter Kozub RIP, (one of 'Brian Drum's' top people) included among his famous clients was Princess Margaret. Peter toured the world with the band "Simple Minds". He also won many accolades in style shows around the UK. In other words Peter was great.

Nevertheless, credit must be given where it's due, so it must be said that Medusa's stylist sorted out my unruly mop better than I can remember Peter doing.
Unfortunately, I thought I picked his name up as Alice, but I don't see it listed. He is possibly Italian and looks younger than he must be.

Be assured though, if you have curly hair needing attention this is a salon where you'll be in safe hands.

I was pretty apprehensive about going. My hair is very important to me. I have always had my hair cut in Spain and I was worried that I wouldn't find someone as good as him. But Laura not only met but exceeded my expectations. I loved the way her suggestions were never imposing. She respected and was keen to hear my opinion. I love my new hair and will not hesitate to recommend them to all whom I cross path with.
