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 always does a fantastic job; he knows the best styles for me and often suggests something a little different; he is full of knowledge, and strives to help me look after my hair. I appreciate his thought and care!

Wedding Hairdo

My son's wedding was held in Edinburgh on 10 September 2017. I contacted Egg Salon and made an appointment. After being slightly panicked that I may not find a hairdressing salon open on a Sunday, and if I did I didn't know how my hair would turn out as the stylist wouldn't 'know' my hair. I shouldn't have worried. My appointment was with Andrew and he was amazing from start to finish. He made me feel relaxed and I had full confidence in him. My hair is fine and I had a rather heavy fascinator which he managed to fix into my hair with no problem. It stayed in place all day and through the evening. Everyone commented on how lovely my hair looked. I can highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a stylist in Edinburgh. All the staff were friendly, helpful and highly professional. Thank you very much to all the staff for helping to make the day memorable and less stressful. x

Why do some people have more magic fingers than others? Head massage before haircut today energised my slothful Sunday brain. Haircut by Craig, as per always quality and phizzog enhancing (regardless of my current double chins and feeling my age at moment). Plus you get amusing, intelligent chat if you feel like talking.What more can you ask for in a haircut experience. Next appointment already booked.Thanks. Lynne M

Craig has been cutting and colouring my hair for the last 14 years. He always does an amazing job and I rely on him to keep my hair looking great. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing my hair as he knows my hair so well and has become a good friend. My father passed away recently and I needed my hair done at short notice to look my best for his funeral. Craig fitted me in for an appointment the same day I called and stayed late to get it done. Where else can you get such exemplary customer service.

I have used nearly every hairdresser in Edinburgh Much to my dismay. And then discovered Egg years ago.

I have very thick wavy hair and Craig is the only person who can cut and style it correctly without it looking like I've been dragged through a bush backwards.

If you are looking for the best hairdresser in Edinburgh look no further than Craig you can guarantee he will give you a fab cut and style.

I really enjoy my day at Egg...your first met by Adele who is so lovely, polite and very conscientious. A little gem! Then Craig takes over and does my hair... I take his advice on board because I respect him as an experienced hairdresser. (And director) I never know what I want but he listens to me and takes the time with the cut and colour leaving me feeling pretty good about myself. Fab. I always have a lovely few hours in the hands of Craig and Adele and come away feeling very pampered! Would definitely recommend Egg without a doubt. Go now!

First time at egg hair today and all I can say is I will be back! my colour was done by andrew which was fab I love it! The colours stand out it's so nice.... great colour choice! I also had a trainee blowdrying my hair which was an experience for me, I didn't pick up her name but she was fab she done it so straight with just a dryer no styling irons were required it amazed me! I wish her all the best in the future she will make a great hairdresser one day. The salon was so relaxing and peaceful.

Thanks to egg hair & the team hope to see you all soon

This Salon works as a team! Fantastic customer service and amazing expert hair washing and sensational head massage from Adele! Although Donna was my Head Stylist, Andrew came over and suggested some innovative techniques which Donna was exceptionally happy to add to her years of experience. My hair was dried and styled by Andrew so yes it was a team effort over seen by the highly dedicated owner Craig who is always keeping a watchful eye on his team to ensure the customer gets the best experience. Ten out of ten to Adele a breath of fresh air and extremely knowledgable with such a lovely way about her! Thank you all.

Happy country bumpkin..... I travel 60 miles round trip to have my hair done at Egg and Craig always, through his patience (I'm very particular), and experience, makes this journey worthwhile. My hair can be tricky ( hair loss at times) and is shockingly grey, however my acquaintances would never know it! Always a thoroughly professional job, lovely staff (Adele, consistently good) and I leave feeling better, delighted with the cut and thrilled with the colour that Craig achieves. Healthy, bouncy hair that knocks years off.
