Medusa Hanover Street Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

I love hair day at Medusa. It’s not just about getting my hair done but knowing that I have 100% confidence that my hair will look amazing from Paul with the care and attention he provides to my hair with his knowledge and professionalism It is also about the welcome, the atmosphere, the friendliness of all the staff, it’s like visiting old friends and catching up.

Charley puts you at ease and you feel relaxed. I wanted to change from dark to blonder hair with highlights.Charley recommended balayage as this would give a softer look with less regrowth. I appreciate her honest advice and skillful colouring. I'm very happy and it looks
more natural and healthy.

I arrived at the salon feeling fed up and not knowing what I wanted to do with my hair. It is quite long and thick and I was feeling that it was overwhelming me a bit and had been a bit wild when travelling recently. I had thought I may ask Paul to cut it all off although I have previously done this hoping for a miracle face lift effect and regretted it 🤣. Paul took time to discuss with me and look at my hair and suggested a lot more layers to remove weight. The resulting cut is beautiful and immediately made me feel better, I even told Paul that he made me feel glamorous! Hair is much easier to look after, looks good without me having to work hard at it and it feels good too. I only wish that I had found Paul when I was a lot younger so I could have had many more good hair years.

Just got a lovely cut and dry by miss Charley she was very sweet and very understanding of what I wanted the consultation was very thorough. The cut and style is fabulous and very well done, I’ve never had such a sweetie do my hair I 10/10 recommend her!

I’m so happy with my hair! Paul revived my color and gave it an amazing shine. Thank you so much, and I’ll see you soon!

Excellent service, colour and haircut are amazing!!!

This was my first time at Medusa Hanover Street and Marco was just brilliant. Such a lovely, warm person and he knew straight away what colour and cut my hair needed. I loved his creative approach too - really happy and looking forward to going back in November. Thanks Marco!

Loved my visit for a bouncy blow dry, great chat and friendly environment…. Can’t wait to visit again

As an Asian it’s hard to find a stylist that understands Asians hair here in Edinburgh. Glad I found Chloe, I had the best haircut yet and it was a really nice salon experience.

Thanks so much to Jess and Emma - so pleased with the results - the lovely atmosphere is a real plus point too!

This is the second time Charley has done my hair and I am so so happy with how she has made my hair look gorgeous again. I have already recommended Charley to my friends - it's clear she cares about listening to what you want, consulting on different ideas, and ensures you feel comfortable throughout the process. I will continue to book with Charley so long as I'm in Edinburgh :) thank you again.

Marco was excellent, he understood what I wanted with my hair colour and styled curly hair beautifully - I left feeling fabulous

Marco managed to get exactly the shade I was after, and truly listened when I was explaining how I wanted my cut to look like. He took his time in styling them and the results are gorgeous!

Marco is taking care of my hairs for over 3 years now and I couldn't be more happy! Hair day is always an amazing day for me :) Marco is very caring and professional..he is a truly hair master! Looking forward to my next appointment 🤍

Everything was amazing I love my hair and love the new color Charley was so lovely and made such a good job of my hair I will definitely go back the salon was amazing and I am very happy with my hair

The best hairdresser/stylist! Very attentive and precise, knowledgable and professional. I trust his recommendations and I am always satisfied with the results.

5 star as usual!
I've been doing my hair with Marco for 5 years, always spot on! Received countless comments about my colour even 2 months after I got done!
Marco is professional, knowledgeable and a wonderful person in general; supported by a good team in a preastine Salon.
Thanks 🫶🏼

Excellent colour and cut from Paul and Jess. The best.

A great haircut from Marco. I started going to Marco at Medusa after years of going faithfully to a well known Edinburgh hairdresser for years- I wish I had made the change before

I’ve seen Marco for my hair twice now and each time I have left the salon feeling so happy with my hair. Marco takes his time and knows how to take care of my hair. I always look forward to hair day!

I’ve been one of Paul’s clients for years, but when he couldn’t fit me in this week (my fault as I had to change my booking at short notice) I booked in with Marco. He was great and I can absolutely say that all the hairdressers here are absolutely brilliant!

This was my first time at the salon and I am so pleased with my hair cut & colour. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff. I had Emma as my stylist and she was excellent from start to finish. I felt she understood the look I was going for and she was able to advise me on what would suit me as well as how to style my hair. Highly reccomend and I will 100% be back.

Very Patient and Excellent!

Always leave Medusa delighted with my hair and feeling truly glam! Jess is a fabulous stylist, a true professional. Highly recommended x

Keratine blow dry was great and loved this new product with a nice touch of fragrance.. loved it and Jess was amazing! ☺️

Emma was so kind and lovely! She talked me through her plans and she listened to what I wanted so it turned out exactly how I hoped. She was really friendly and did my hair beautifully, I couldn't recommend her enough!

Chloe was absolutely amazing knew right away what i wanted and did a stunning job! will surely be back for more hair appointments!

Marco is the reason I keep coming back to Medusa. He always has a warm welcome for me but more importantly leaves me with an amazing haircut and colour.

Marco is the best. He looks after me (and my hair!) with care and is always extremely professional. He's without a doubt, the best hairdresser in Edinburgh!

Ellie is absolutely amazing!! She totally understands your vision and brings it to life. My hair has genuinely never felt healthier despite keeping my blonde topped up.

Ellie is honestly the best hair dresser I have Been to!!! I have been with her for a few years now and she always recommends what is best for my hair and makes sure I use the right products !!!! Honestly Ellie is amazing at what she does ❤️ thank you for always being amazing at what you do !!! The salon atmosphere is lovely too and the staff is lovely too !!! I am so glad I go to medusa and wouldn't pick anywhere else to go 😊

What I asked for, I got! The team were lovely! Friendly and attentive. My hair looks amazing (if I say so myself :P ) thank you!!

Visited Medusa for a cut and blow dry with Jess today. She is so helpful and knowledgeable and talked through what I wanted and she advised what would work out the best as trying to grow out my layers. Love my new haircut. Would not think of going anywhere else now after my second visit to Jess at Medusa.

My hair is just as I asked for, Paul always listens too what you want and that is exactly what I got a perfect head of highlights and a good haircut.
Thanks Paul

Amazing as always! Thanks so much Marco! X

Amazing experience hair colour and cut is great! Very happy 😊

Ellie was amazing, she knew exactly what I was looking for and my colour/cut is better than I could’ve imagined. Delighted with the results. It was my first time visiting the salon and I’ve booked in for my next appointment already! All the staff were lovely and so welcoming too. Definitely recommend!

Loved it Ellie always does an amazing job every time 🥰 my favourite hairdresser

Emma is an amazing stylist. She listens to what you want your end goal to be and helps you make a decision that’s best for your face shape and what’s best for the health of your hair. She has an extensive knowledge on different styles, colours and cuts. She has transformed my hair.

Yet again Charles has done a wonderful job
And all staff are as friendly as ever

Once again I experienced a fantastic treatment from Marco! He is a brilliant and expert hairstylist, who considers the client’s needs and offers professional advice and makes you look your best every time . Marco’s friendly and warm ways make every appointment enjoyable and relaxed.
I am really pleased with the results of my colour and cut session: Marco found the right shade of copper for my complexion.
Thank you Marco!

Lovely girl, nice to chat to, did exactly what i wanted. everyone in there was so sweet, will definitely go back and be with her again

Had a cut and blow dry. Really love the layering and styling made it look so shiny and smooth. Charley did an amazing job, thank you!

Jess was great, listened to what I wanted and made suggestions after looking at photos I’d taken. Travelling from Dundee for my next and future appointments.

Today was new salon and stylist so little nervous.As soon as I walked in the team were really busy but still gave me a warm welcome, so friendly.
Emma was the stylist she was outstanding, she talked me through my options during my consultation even recommending best hair products. The results were outstanding, she is a true professional, a gem, she is a very confident,talented, friendly and extremely knowledgable stylist, with a wealth of experience. She made me feel so comfortable and I walked out with amazing new style and colour. If you've never been to Mudusa in Hanover St then you are missing out on a truly outstanding experience. Thank you so much throughly loved today x

Marco is an absolute magician with hair!His infectious positivity and genuine care make the experience truly special. Marco doesn't just make you look beautiful; he makes you feel it too!

It’s been an incredible few years of getting my hair done by Marco. I always leave looking and feeling my best, he creates a really welcoming experience for his clients, and is all around an incredibly talented hairdresser.

Thanks so much Marco!

I absolutely love my hair, the cut is perfect. I've been trying and failing for years to get my hair to look like this!

The colour is great too, very subtle and natural which is exactly what I asked for.

Emma is an absolute delight, and the salon has a lovely atmosphere. All of the team are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend a visit!

10/10, would travel 100 miles just to get my hair done by him
