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.

First time I have visited this salon. It’s a bit nerve wracking for me to try out a new hairdresser as I’ve had some bad experiences in the past but this turned out to be one of the best. My hairdresser, Chloe, took time to discuss what I wanted, gave advice, explained everything and is a real perfectionist. I had lowlights woven into my fair hair and was delighted with the result.
I can highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for somewhere to ultimately make you feel a million dollars

Poppy you exceeded all expectations and have made a huge change to my hair! I am over the moon and have received many compliments since leaving the salon. Thank you for listening to me and I can’t wait to come back in the future. You are wonderful at what you do!

This salon likes to say yes! Peter and the team accommodated my every wish. They answered all my questions about colouring my hair without having to make a pre appointment, and I got a patch test done on the spot. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. They also happily agreed to a scrunch dry under the lights instead of insisting on a blow dry that I didn’t want.
I was delighted with the result. Just what o wanted. Thank you Poppy. I’ll be back!
Other hair salons in Edinburgh could learn a lot!

As always, happy with Chantelle's easy-going but confident manner. She listens to any concerns and offers helpful suggestions when required. Today, Junior a tad heavy handed. Realise rising prices are becoming the norm, but perhaps advance notice would be nice...never quite sure what I'll be charged on each visit until I get to the till! Next question not really relevant.

Hi Fiona thanks for your feedback, I’m happy that chantelle has been a great stylist,
I will make sure the assistant is aware that she is heavy handed, thanks for your feedback, we don’t know unless clients say, so thanks ,
Regarding price, let’s point st your file, it is always slight different because of the colour offers we have on that month so your bill is lower and also with a slight price increase that is happening everywhere the reason the price has changed is due to that,
So moving forward it should be the same price, unless there’s a promotion on which will save you money.:) thanks
