Medusa Broughton Street Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

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.

Craig the Colour Genius

Fran

Craig transformed my hair from a bad dye job - think brassy, bleachy yellow - to beautiful cool golden, expertly blending the colour to ensure my roots can grow in without looking harsh against the blonde. Another salon had told me this couldn't be done, but Craig really listened to what I wanted and delivered it.
The dark haired girl who welcomed me in and washed my hair was friendly and made me feel looked after.
I won't be going anywhere else from now on.

I started going to EGG in 2008 and their work has me still a regular customer. I’m not a complex customer yet their hairdressers are fab at getting just that right amount of jazz in a ‘do’ at a price that is fair. When I make temporary lapses, I am reminded why I always end up at their door time and again.

Well, I’m a regular here and think they are brilliant. I thought I had run out of things to say but something occurred to me this time. I asked you to take a picture of the back of my hair. Looking at it made me realise again what a great job you do of my colour. Don’t usually get that perspective. Thanks Craig you are a star. Leaving you some below.

Back from egg today only went in for a cut but thought I’d chance it by asking if Craig had time for a silver toner ..he cut my hair amazing with an edgy twist the toner has an amazing faint blue through it that I didn’t know I needed in my life Craig has been cutting my hair for 3 years and he never disappoints best salon I have ever been to

Everytime I take the first morning appointment the stylist is never on time, I’m always welcomed by the assistant and reassured the stylist won’t be long and offered refreshments which I’m grateful for, but you’d think the stylist would be earlier regarding I’m the first cilent of the day. Apart from that great service thanks again, the above comment is a heads up as I know other cilents won’t stand for this

Atended again for another straightening treatment from Craig and, as always, the whole experience was faultless. After trying a few other salons and all of them a bad experience, I was on the verge of going back curly until I found Craig! He is very knowledgeable with great advice about what I needed. Very patient and understanding, and I always feel at home here!
