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.

Peter worked his magic on my hair which hadn’t seen a hairdresser in over a year!

He was friendly, helpful and the head massage was sooooo good!

My stylist was lovely and chatty, she listened to everything I was asking about how I would like my hair and she also provided professional advice on what might work best. Her knowledge of colouring was excellent too. The only negative I can point out is her coffin nails were digging into my hair and head when she was a washing the colour off and massaging, Felt like they were ripping my hair out! Would be much better with short nails. Only a small negative,, would otherwise thoroughly recommended the salon.

Hi Hakima,
Thanks for your review.. your haircut price was £59 with also the PPE charge of £3, they are both stated on the website,
We are really happy you like your new hair cut,
Regarding new client discount this only applies if someone you know who has been to kat and recommends you to kat,
Hope to see you in the salon again,
Thanks

Couldn't have asked for a better experience/cut - just went through a breakup and was in sore need of a makeover. I made an appointment for 11:30 on the same day just a few hours beforehand. Lauryn was very friendly, professional and listened and paid attention to the cut I said I wanted. She also knew how to layer hair properly, and my hair is quite thick so not all stylists have done this well before, but she was an absolute pro! I'm very pleased with how it turned out and have already gotten so many compliments on it from my friends. Will definitely be returning.
