Medusa Bread Street Hair Salon Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

Great colour. Still going strong after 4 months. And wonderful styling that helps keep this middle aged woman looking passable!

Kirsty at Bread St is simply fantastic at her job. She has a brilliant eye for both cut and colour. Alongside her talents, she is a lovely person with an intelligent outlook on life. No wonder she’s in demand!

Enjoyed my first time to Medusa. Made very welcome and was given first class advice from Kate my stylist. Very chatty lovely young lady. Will definitely go back.

Fabulous service, fabulous staff relaxed atmosphere.

Exactly the colour I wanted. Attention to detail excellent and a fab head massage to boot!

Kate knew what my hair needed and did an excellent job. Was very happy with the end product.

My hair was on desperate need of a cut, this salon was able to revive my travel exhausted hair.

Lovely friendly salon and great hair cut by Charlie

I feel so relaxed getting my cut and blowdry here with my favourite stylist and this was great as always.

Kate did a fantastic job today on my hair! Really happy with the results and booked 3 further appointments off the back of today!

Kate who cut my hair was great, she was very welcoming and attentive. I didnt want much done to it just a bit shorter and some Shape she did a great job and my hair feels alot more healthy. I'd definitely go back

Great service, they always make me a nice coffee and my hair looks smart.

It’s nice to have a really nice hairdresser
Like Kirsty who cares and is really good at what she does and listens which is so important would recommend Kirsty and the rest of the staff at medusa they are very unique compared to other hairdressers.

Another fabulous experience at Medusa, Kirsty is amazing - never thought I’d ever be happy with my hair!

Thanks Kirsty, great service as always and delighted with the result! Just wish I hadn’t got caught in the rain on the way home.

I regularly go to Kate to get my hair cut and am always very pleased with the result. Great haircut, great staff, would definitely recommend.

Excellent! Getting prepared for the possibility of chemo and Marishka took the time and gave advice on gradually shortening my hair. She did a brilliant job and I love the cut. Not too drastic and a similar style to what I had. Really pleased.

Will definitely be returning. All staff were welcoming and helpful, nice atmosphere in the salon and everything was clean. Appointment on time even though it was quite busy.
Charlie, the senior stylist listened to what I wanted and was confident making suggestions as to how to achieve it. Polite and friendly but not overly chatty. Very pleased with the cut.

I'm always really happy with my Medusa cut! I can 100% recommend both Jo and Sarah.

Had balayage, toner, cut and wellaplex treatment by Sarah . Absolutely delighted as usual. The staff are warm and friendly Sarah is a top class creative designer in every way!... one word .Awesome!

I've been coming to Medusa to see Kirsty for a few years now, and it's always a great experience. Thank you!

Kate was knowledgeable and professional. She was able to advise me on what colour and cut would best suit me. It didn't feel sloppy or rushed like it can in some salons. I'm really pleased with the result and it felt nice to be valued and for Kate to genuinely care about the finished service.

Visited in an ‘emergency’ so first time. Very good part was Charlie - did a really good job. He was interested in my job and engaging . Thank you Charlie. Compared to my usual place , the other parts of the experience were a bit disappointing. I’m an more mature customer so forgive me but I’ll be honest . Wasn’t one dedicated front of house welcomer. The front desk seemed to be an ever shifting , slightly chaotic looking area. My usual place has a recognisable front of hose face , with excellent customer skills and that one key initial contact from her makes that place . In fact , the overall feeling was a chaotic mass of folk tripping over each other because of the central aisle . The space doesn’t feel best planned . I was seated next to a kitchen area which was open to the customer side so could see all the dirty dishes , contents of the fridge etc. .Very unusually , I wasn’t offered a drink by anyone on arrival while waiting, nor when I had my hair cut. I cant remember the last time that happened in a salon to me - it’s so standard practice. Curiously , some folk had coffees but I felt I shouldn’t ask , because the girl who was serving, was running around rushed off her feet. Sorry , I’m really not wanting to be unduly critical but the sinks for hair-washing were really uncomfortable because of quite a sharp and narrow rim. For a man with a 17” neck mind you. I’ve not experienced this before however. Lastly , as a professional person and team leader , a bit of a bug bear of mine ! - saw several staff fixing their hair in the mirror and sorting make up things. This gave a really unprofessional image. My staff do personal things in the staff assigned spaces and the business spaces are for business . I hope this feedback comes across as helpful and not attaching in any way.

Really love Medusa, have been a client of Sarah, kate, Lorraine and now Marnie. I’m so impressed by the can-do attitude and if they can fit in clients and be so flexible. The service and results are so consistently perfect, I keep returning, recommending and enjoying the product.

Marissa at bread street medusa was absolutely amazing and made a beautiful job of my hair. Highly recommend.

Since relocating I tried alternative nearer to home. However, disappointing results make the effort of returning to Charlie T Medusa, Bread Street, worth the effort. He is a perfectionist and works hard to ensure I get the results I want. Very easy to talk to.

It is always a joy to have your hair done by Kirsty. You can fully trust her to get the best out of you. She is a magician!!

Great hairdresser, great cut & fantastic service.... love it!

Very good efficient service. Always guaranteed a great cut and blow dry despite sometimes my hair being a tricky customer.

Thanks for fixing my hair. Amazingly talented colourist. And also beautiful cut. I will definitely be back. I was happy to hear they give 20% discount for nhs staff. Kind regards Jennifer

The salon is gorgeous inside and feels bright and modern. Ciara did an incredible job on my hair and cut it perfectly! She was lovely and chatty for the whole time and even discussed with me how I'd like my hair finished, offered a few different options and took her time styling it after the cut was finished. Thank you!

Love my new hair. Thanks Marnie :)

This was my first visit to the Bread Street salon, won't be my last.

Kirsty upgrade my hair with a copper tint to refresher up my balayage and it looks amazing as always. Thanks so much. Never fail to leave here with a smile on my face and my curls looks so glossy and bouncy!

Absolutely fantastic, I went in with my hair completely ruined with different colours from over bleaching, Kirsty has bought my hair back to life. Would highly recommend her, definitely my future hair salon.

Absolutely fantastic haircut as always! Love my colour! Would not go anywhere else!

Love having my hair done by Kate she is the best and always makes me feel amazing!! X

I had a great time at the medusa salon in bread street, I can confidently say I finally found the perfect salon after years of trying different hairdressers around Edinburgh! The haircut is perfect, exactly what I was hoping for and my stylist was precise and professional and I am super happy I trusted her advice on the haircut. The salon is perfect, it's stylish, sparkling clean and bright, I'll definitely be back!

Salon was lovely staff so friendly Marishka cut my hair gave me good asvice i won this cut through Nhs medusa so thank you so much travelled from Arbroath but was so worth visit

This Saturday I had my nails and my hair done and I am really impressed. I use this salon for an year now, (after was recommended by a friend who had a balaiage done by kirsty) and I am always happy to return. I won't ever go anywhere else. My hair was never in a better status. Kirsty's work is just wow each time xx

Love my cut. Everything I asked for and more. Really relaxing head massage and such friendly staff.

After box dying for a while I came in to get my roots covered and see if I could get lighter bits throughout. Thought it might be impossible considering how dark my hair is but Marishka was great at offering her advice and the options available - really happy with how it turned out!

Marnie is great at recommending what would suit me in terms of colour, cut and maintenance. The next day, I always get complimented for my new style.

Kate was confident and clearly explained her recommendations for colouring my hair. Throughout my visit she kept me informed, and all staff members helped me feel relaxed and looked after. The result was fabulous! Very happy lady and follow up is booked in already. Thank you Medusa team! Xx

After donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust (for which Medusa waived the cost of the haircut) Ellie (12) has been growing back her hair. Each time she goes to Medusa Colin treats her to great chat and a trendy haircut. She was especially pleased with today’s cut...uber cool and really suits her. Super friendly salon with award-winning stylists. I’m a total convert too - having seen Colin, Charlie and Sarah in recent weeks. Medusa- exactly what a salon should be. Friendly, Funky and Fabulous!

I love getting my hair done at Medusa Bread St. I had very bad experiences at other hairdressers in the past but Medusa is different to others. They take customer service very seriously and it shows in its staff. Kate not only does my hair; she offers advice on products snd hair care, and listens to my random conversation with a smile. I’d highly recommend her to anyone wanting their hair colour changed. A year ago my hair was her black and now it’s super blonde (and healthy!). Thanks, Kate!! X

Went to have a toner on my hair for the first time at this hairdresser had a warm welcome and extremely great service
Lorraine and Kirsty got my colour right Lorraine blow dryed my hair love my hair.
Thank you
Not your usual hairdressers
It’s so much more warm welcoming and not intimidating like many others .

The salon is immaculate and staff are lovely. The prices are quite high but the quality is definitely worth it. Kate always does exactly what I want and my hair looks great for longer.

Really happy with my trip to the bread St salon! Hairdresser was lovely and did a great job with my hair. Will definitely go again.
