Medusa Hair Salon Stockbridge, Edinburgh

31 Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH4 1HX

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.

Anna is brilliant. She has been looking after all my vivid colours for years now and I would never trust anyone else. Today we went from blue to green and plan for orange next time.

Hi there, thanks for your review and your feedback greatly appreciate it,

We all loved having you in the salon and we absolutely love Anna and her colouring,
I can assure you all our staff are not judgmental, medusa pride ourslefs as a salon that accepts everyone,
When creative colour is getting done we all take an interest in what the stylist is doing, we all have alternative clients and we absolutely love the confidence all our clients have when leaving the salon,
The December rush is crazy in all salons in the city, hopefully when we see you again next year the Salon is quieter, have a great Christmas and we hope you live your new hair

Amazing service

Chloe has been doing my hair for a few years now and each time, she does the best job, when I first started seeing Chloe my hair was damaged and she recommended products to help and now my hair is healthy !! When she does my colour it always turn out better than expected and I always get so many compliments on it. I recommend booking in with Chloe as she makes you feel comfortable, helps you if you have any questions or are unsure of something and most of all because her service is amazing.

I’ve been looking for a hairdresser in Edinburgh for a while now and been nervous about the switch but Kayleigh made me feel super comfortable and confident choosing her. She showed me previous copper colours she’s done which made me excited for the results!

Kayleigh talked through what she was doing and discussed future colour options. Obsessed with the cut and colour!

I've never reviewed a haircut before. I had this haircut in November 23 and just back from a different hairdresser. The haircut I got in November at Medusa Stockbridge was the worst haircut and style of my life and I'm in my 50s. It was squint and pointed it out at least 3 times another hairdresser came over to assure me it wasn't. I asked for an undercut and she shaved it in a straight line. I got my haircut for my mum’s funeral, it was just shocking and worse people even said “oh my” when they saw it. I know it's a bit passive aggressive leaving a terrible review and so late but I was too upset to be assertive at the time - I did about the squint bit but they persuaded me it wasn't. I just can't express how happy I was with the hairdresser I was with today not in the Medusa chain.

Hi cat, I’m really sorry that you were left very upset with your haircut, I’ve looked through the appointment date and you were booked in with Alex, Alex at that time was a graduate stylist, still training and her prices are very very heavily discounted as it was model cut and blow dry, if this was brought to our attention at the time one of our experienced stylist could have taken over or we would have invited you back in to the salon for a refresh on the cut, unfortunately because this didn’t happen we can’t see if the cut was technically not correct, I’m really sorry that you though you couldn’t call up so we could rectify this,
Thanks

Excellent!

Kayleigh was so lovely and everyone in the salon was super nice. I had such a wonderful experience with a quite out there cut and colour. Checking in whisky I processed from both bleach and colour were great and not overbearing. It was a beautiful space and I learnt a lot on how to do my hair at home too as I am slightly in experienced with styling with a shag cut. I'm super happy with the results and my appointment, highly recommend.
