Medusa Teviot Place Hair Salon Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

6/7 Teviot Place, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH1 2QZ

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.

Kate is not only one of the nicest, most genuine people around, but her skill with hair is second to none. She knows what I like and isn’t afraid to offer different cut and styling options that I hadn’t even considered. Always a guaranteed good hair day if Kate is involved.

While I normally love my cuts at medusa my stylist cut a large straight chunk out of the front of my hair instead of gradually blending it into the rest of my hair for adding framing to the face

I was visiting Edinburgh for the weekend and needed a haircut. I googled salons close to our hotel and booked in with Laura. I had a long grown out bob and Laura had a chat with me prior to cutting to decide what length to go to and what would work for me. I love my new bob and have had so many compliments from friends and colleagues. Such a shame that I can't keep coming - although I am tempted by regular visits to Edinburgh!

Had a couple of horrible hair cutting experiences lately simply because the people cutting my hair didn't listen to what I asked them to do or simply couldn't do it. As in, one guy literally couldn't cut my hair "free hand". He would only use clippers. Pretty crazy. Anyhow, Kate was not this person. She made me feel as comfortable as I possibly could feel considering the horrendous experiences I previously and actually understood that "it's my hair". She not only listened but was genuinely nice. Didn't seem phoney while she was doing it either. She also shampooed my hair and that was extremely nice and relaxing as well. I have absolutely nothing bad to say. Just a great overall experience from what seemed to be just a nice normal person. I left feeling not only happy with what I requsted but felt relieved and thought it was a refreshing experience. Thank you so much Kate.
