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.

Kat has been so great looking after my hair for almost a year now. I have very curly hair. She understood how my hair behaves and gave me the most perfect curly hair cut I’ve ever had. It suits my face and my curls. Kat is also very gentle, and patient and very skilled at what she does.

My hair was so long after lockdown and hadn’t had a cut or colour for 6 months. I explained to Peter what I wanted and he seemed to know. The colour is fabulous and he cut it just as I asked him. I have already put 2 appointments in for next time. Peter is such a charming young man . Thank you so much.

I’ve been to loads of salons across Edinburgh as I’ve really struggled to find one that I like and that works for me. This is the first time I’ve been to Medusa and Nicola was great - love my hair and I’ve left with something a bit different on her suggestion which I love! Will definitely be back.

Not great service overall. Although the stylist was polite,I think she did not understand how my hair are and what haircut I wanted.I have showed pictures and I try to explain but I am sorry to say that the haircut was not good.Also the service and the overall result does not justify the price.I was expecting to have a little chat with the hairdresser to let me know how I could adjust the haircut that I have shown to her to my face and type of hair.

It was my daughter that got me my first appointment and that was 2 years ago. I have never looked back . Staff are fantastic and friendly, Kat is absolutely brilliant, she listened to the changes I wanted, and explained everything to me . Fantastic x

Nicole is a complete tonic! I really didn’t want to pay that amount particularly with the £7.50 Covid charge which I think is extreme! We have all lost money we are all struggling! However seeing Nicole is always just medicinal for me why has no hair dresser before ever thought to take a before and after she did that the first time I went to see her and made me feel like a superstar. It’s not just that though.... with Nicole you get down to earth honest banter in the new town and that’s refreshing. So if she works for Medusa and their extortionate prices then I’ll pay them and stick it on my credit card because she’s worth it for my mental health x
