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.

My routine visit to Craig and his team at Egg is always far from “routine “ by experience. Always fun. Each time, I look forward to Craig’s colour magic and when I thought he couldn’t raise the bar any more, he smashed it????. Used a new trick to retain the colour through the ends of my hair for longer. Hi 5! Smashed it . Your magic has worked.????‍♀️. Big time .

Absolutely love my new hair style. I have been coming to EGG for many years. The salon is bright and airy with a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, The staff are always friendly and polite. Craig is the best stylist. He is very easy to chat to. He instantly puts you at ease and happily gives fantastic hair advice. Craig has cut and coloured my hair on many occasions. I have always been delighted with the results. He is a true professional. I can’t recommend this salon highly enough. Thanks so much Craig. I’m so pleased with my new short hair style and I love the colour.

I purchased a Itson voucher for highlights and cut. I had never been to EGG and I needed to find a new hairdressers so I took a chance and bought the voucher to let me try it. I am so glad I did- Donna was great! She listened to what I wanted, offered great advice and information, but never pressured me. We picked a style together and even though my hair took a while to develop the colour, she was so patient. It turned out exactly how I wanted it, perfect for me and my style. Highly recommend Donna. Salon was clean and lovely inside too, definitely going back.

Got my hair colour done by Craig. He made suggestion rather than do highlights/lowlights to do full colour which I haven't done before with my redhair and I trusted him which was the best thing. Love the colour it's fab! Craig also knows a lot about curly ,thick hair which is a great news for me so I will be rebooking in future

Before I left Edinburgh I used Egg after trying several local names with varying results. On return, some years later, I used a friend of a friend at her home. It cost less but my hair was not looking it's best. I went back to Egg and have been very happy with all my cuts and colours (when I choose to colour ) ever since. Continuing excellence is not always easy in any field but it can be achieved. Thanks.

I was more than happy with the service i received, although the stylist was a smoker, and she was in and out of the salon constant through out my service, whilst trailing the smoke back into the salon with her, hygiene was a issue as I could smell smoke off her and her clothing, but apart from that it was a lovely salon, the assistant kept me going with coffee which i loved, plus a great hair wash best I’ve had in a while.

Craig your skills are amazing. My hair cut from yesterday, as always, is fab. Quick blow with the dryer this morning, fell into place.

The salon is bright, airy and most welcoming. Stocked to the brim with the most up-to-date products.

Although I have been getting my hair cut and styled by Craig for several years now, it has only been in the last year that I have stopped dying my own hair and handed that task to Craig...best decision ever!
He has such wonderful ideas colour-wise, and the change in the quality of my hair is obvious to everyone.
