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.

Showed the stylist a photo of the hair I wanted. It was relatively simple. Unfortunately my hair turned out completely different and looked very dated and not stylish. Had to do it again myself at home.

I was so impressed with my stylist today, she was patient and took into real consideration what I wanted done and gave me realistic expectations of what my fine hair would best suit.
Fantastic products used which I intent to buy and the general atmosphere was very relaxed.

First time at Egg and glad I went, Donna was great! Gave me sound advice on my hair colour. For years I have dyed it myself and now it's a colour far too dark for me and permanent! Have arranged another appointment for hair colour. Donna's experience was very apparent when discussing my hair and I'm looking forward to a hair colour that I like and that suits me.

After several bad experiences over the year I was nervous about getting my hair cut. I decided to give EGG Hairdressing a try after a recommendation from a family member and I was not disappointed. My stylist really took the time to listen to what I wanted and seemed to understand my vision, wow my shampoo was impressive couldn’t fault anything plus the girl was lovely & very welcoming made me feel at ease (ps the head massage is worth leaving a tip) everyone was chatty and friendly but didn’t force the conversation as some do. All the products that were used during my visit were explained to me with reasons as to why they had been chosen, I even walked away with a purchase! I absolutely love my new style and I’m already excited to go back. Thank you so much EGG

I’m happy with my colour, however not so with the cut. Also, the assistant who’s washed my hair wasn’t gentle at all. She pulled my hair while washing and it wasn’t done properly. I had to wash it again when I got home. A bit disappointed.

Craig at Egg has looked afte me for many years and always made my look and feel fantastic. I’m embarking on a journey with chemotherapy and today Craig cut my hair short preparing for hair loss to come in stages. I am entirely confident and safe in his hands - his knowledge and care is second to none.

Best Hairdresser in Scotland

Craig is by far the best hairdresser in Scotland .
My hair is not easy to cut as it is thick and wavy.

I have been in all the well know Salons in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow and Craig is the only one who really understands my hair.

Absolutely Brilliant Hairdresser..

Yesterday we decided to go from long to short, from frumpy back to my old funky self ... the result absolute fabulous. Taken 20 years of me and I feel like my younger self again.

Still grinning from ear to ear today.

My advice is everyone should let Craig cut their hair...you will be amazed.

Thank you Craig for giving me such a wonderful cut and hairstyle.

See you soon .
