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 enjoyed having my hair cut at Medusa Stockbridge today. Chloe was great and I'm very happy with the result. Can't wait to come back for the pixie cut I'm getting next.

A bad experience

I felt like the stylist ***** did not listen to what I asked for. Asked for a curtain fringe and she gave a short blunt fringe. She clearly had no idea how to cut or treat curly/wavy hair. She just did what she wanted and added loads of products that straightened the hair and added frizz. Think she was in a hurry to get me out of there so she could go for Saturday night drinks.

Chloe did an amazing job at fixing my failed home bleach experiment. Brought more depth to my hair with a subtle freehand balayage without compromising the length while restoring some health to my over processed hair. She also did a thorough strand test beforehand and adjusted our session to a technique that would work for my hair (decided to do a slower process to prevent breaking).
By far the best hair salon experience I’ve had as the staff managed to accommodate my wishes to the possibilities for my hair, giving me a result I’m more than happy with.

Nicola, my stylist, is highly skilled and puts you at ease throughout the consultation.

The salon is also so stylish, and their hygiene is exceptional in view of COVID. I always feel safe.
