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 can’t remember which stylist did my hair but she was great. I’m terribly picky with my hair also have a thick frizzy hair which she understood and adapted the cut to. I also had a botched lockdown haircut that she managed to correct whilst still giving me exactly what I wanted. Thankyou I will be coming back!

Craig is quite simply a genius of creativity and expertise. Since 2012 Craig has been making my hair look amazing so that no one would realise I had an autoimmune issue which affects my hair and scalp. No matter how I feel when I go into the salon I always leave feeling and looking great thanks to Craig’s talent,knowledge and empathy.

Treat after Lockdown

This was my first real outing after months of shielding and although I was not anxious about coming to the salon after Kym had explained all the steps taken to make the salon as safe as humanly possible, coming into the city was not such a pleasant experience. Fortunately the new salon was only a couple of minutes walk from where Derek dropped me off.
Kym let me in almost immediately, took me straight to hand sanitizer station and temperature check and from there it was pretty much my usual visit to hairdresser which is my treat to myself. As always Kym was chatty and interested in how I had been during lockdown. Great to chat to a friend in a lovely, safe and relaxed atmosphere while being pampered. Thank you so much, Kym. By the way, love the new salon!

Loved the new salon at Broughton Street, light, fresh and airy. Have been seeing Kym for years and always have a great experience with her, Queen of the blow dry and she works wonders with my incredibly thick, heavy, long hair. All appropriate precautions in place, felt very safe but also relaxed.

I have been going to Egg hairdressers for about 3 yrs now, each visit I purchase a voucher from itison, which saves me a small fortune and receive high quality service in Hair treatment and styling. I particularly always hope that Donna is available when I visit to do my hair as she knows exactly how I like my hair done, she is always so friendly and always advises me what would be best and have always been delighted with end result. I look forward in purchasing my next voucher for Egg.

I have been coming to Egg for sometime now and when I first arrived my hair was in really bad condition. I felt like the curls in my hair had fallen out.

Now after Craig has done his magic my curl is definitely back and my hair feels amazing.

Definitely recommend for a hairdresser who knows their stuff.
