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 was nervous about having a new hairdresser to make a major colour change after lockdown. Peter had already impressed me when I had a consultation, and I am delighted with the result of his work. Peter is exceptionally professional, but also friendly and approachable when discussing out the plan.
All other staff were obviously well-trained and professional, too, and I was well taken care of.

Nicola is so talented - I've never been so happy with my hair! It's amazing what a bit of colour and fresh cut can do. I was there for a few hours getting balayage and felt completely comfortable that all covid safety measures were in place.

Almost a week after my haircut by Peter, and I still love it! He knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a specific cut, he not only cut it perfectly, with great chat, he also gave me brilliant advice on how to maintain the style at home. The whole salon feels so covid safe, and runs so smoothly that I felt perfectly comfortable as soon as I stepped inside. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Peter is an amazing person, and stylist. When I ask him to make it look good as often I don’t have a look I’m after, he flourishes his blade or scissors and voila- amazing hair. That’s why I keep going back.

Peter is utterly dedicated to getting the right style and he doesn’t push products at you to buy, it’s a lovely calming experience there. I took in a picture of a hairstyle so I don’t have to try to explain what I want. Fantastic place truly xxxx

I've had my hair done by Peter at Medusa Stockbridge for a few years now. Peter is a top level stylist, my hair looks beautiful and the haircut remains in a great shape for 2-3 months. For me it's an ultimate gauge of quality.
Peter is courteous and easy going and goes out of his way to make you enjoy your visit. The atmosphere at Medusa Stockbridge is welcoming and unpretentious. I'm very satisfied with my hair and the experience and keep coming back.
