Medusa Broughton Street Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

23, Broughton St, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH1 3JU

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.

Poor customer service

Appointment was cancelled at extremely short notice when I was going on a night out. I asked if someone else could do my hair. A more senior stylist had availability but was more expensive which I could not afford. They would not give me for the price I had booked for. Extremely annoyed and disappointed regarding this as the haircuts I've had have been great. Really poor customer service around this situation.

Overall the place seems nice enough but I think we caught them on a bad day. I took my teenage son there for a haircut on a Saturday morning and it was super quiet - no other clients, no music playing - so the whole place felt a bit soulless. My son's haircut was fine - nothing more, nothing less.
