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.

She made me feel that my hair is back to life. I’ll definitely go again and again. I also like the place because it offered me the privacy I need as a hijabi girl.

Both the colour and cut were excellent and I am delighted with the result. Felt like a new person when I left the shop. Have already re-booked with Fraser.

My stylist was Zara but I just want to be clear this review is NOT about Zara. I received solid service from Zara and the woman who cut my hair. I love my colour and cut.

The disappointment comes from when I went downstairs with the girl who shampooed my hair (long brown hair). The entire time she was checking her Apple Watch, not paying attention to what she was doing. It was the worst shampoo job I’ve ever had. Felt like very little of my colour had been washed out, no head pressure. 3sec head massage. All in all, there was zero effort put in. After a year of lockdown and not being able to go to the salon, I would have thought she would have been a bit more focused on her job. Honestly, it spoiled the appointment. This person needs to be told that the client can tell that she doesn’t care. I hope the next person receives more attention/ thorough care than I did.

Response from Medusa Teviot Place

I'm extremely sorry you received such bad service from one of your trainees. We really appreciate how much the full salon experience means to our clients, including a relaxing head massage, and are very disappointed we fell short on this occasion.
We will email you directly to hopefully rectify the situation.

My stylist was called Eilidh and I’ve had blonde highlights the majority of my life and these are just what I’m used to and like, beautiful blonde and my stylist toned it to a fab warm blonde to my request. When I get a full head of highlights I’m used to sitting there for hours sooo bored but my stylist was lovley chatty and super fun to talk to. Amazing salon and a really good first trip and will deffo b returning, so grateful for the student discount. It’s a great Salon and eilidh was fab!

This is the first cut and blow-dry I have had in over a year. From the moment I arrived, I felt confident and safe with all of the safety measures and precautions. The cut and blow-dry experience itself was also fantastic. My stylist, Zara, took the time to ask and clarify what I wanted and offered helpful tweaks to my original idea. The cut turned out even better than I thought and I am so glad I made the appointment. I cannot recommend Medusa, and Zara, enough. Thank-you.
