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.

I had balayage and a cut from Zara who did an amazing job! She was friendly and knowledgable and my hair looks great, would definitely recommend to any blondes to get their hair done here, really lovely service at a good price too.

Felt really really welcome and was accommodated from the start, despite messing up on my part with the booking. My stylist was very open about having to try something new as what I’d asked for wasn’t something shed done before but she managed amazingly and remained confident and professional throughout. Also this was the first haircut Ive had where my curly hair was properly taken into account and was looked after the same way I would choose to - which is very uncommon. Thank you for a great experience!

It was my first time at Medusa today, and I most definitely will be back!
Poppy was equally as excited and enthusiastic for my mega hair change as I was, and it made the experience so much more enjoyable. I totally trusted her opinion and vision - at no point did I question if I was in safe hands.
The salon was spotless and I felt completely safe throughout, the girls were great at communicating what was happening, where to go etc throughout.
I am absolutely delighted with my hair and with my experience today!:) Thank you, Poppy!

I hadn’t had my hair cut in a very, very long time so it needed a lot of TLC. Kate was not daunted by my hair but was excited to breathe new life in to it and style it how I wanted (shorter and choppy with curtain bangs). She was fast, efficient, asked me how I liked it as she went and was obviously skilled at her job. She was great company and a true professional. I’m very happy with the result. I’ve already booked my next appointment.
