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.

I visited Medusa after a disaster with my hairdresser of 7 years, booked an appointment on the Sunday for the Monday with their easy to use online booking service. The thought of visiting a new hairdresser is always daunting, however from the moment I walked in I felt at ease and in safe hands. Talked through my issues with Lauryn along with the colour and cut I was looking for and she absolutely nailed it, brilliant stylist and she just seemed to get it!
Lauryn delivered exactly what I was looking for and she is so lovely.
Can’t wait to go back.
If you are looking for a new hairdresser, this is the place to go!

Another great visit to Medusa Stockbridge. I'm not in Edinburgh very often, so I always ask for a haircut that will grow out well and last. Really happy with it and also the great extras - amazing head massage, really good cup of tea and the Salty Dog texture spray. Thank you ?

I have booked for balyage and took a picture with me to show what look I was hoping to achieve. Unfortunatelly some how I ended up leaving salon with highlights. I was in hurry that day and did not pay too much attention to finish,but reliesed soon it was not as requested. But I got in touch and they managed to book me for another appointment within couple of days. I was treated the same way as any other customer, they all were lovely and Nicola fixed my hair to the way I initially wanted. I love my hair now and will be going back. I would definitely recommend this place...
