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.

This was my third time at the Medusa (Teviot). Kate is an amazing hairstylist and on top of that, a lovely person!! She helped me to pick a beautiful colour and refreshed my look! She's also suggested to me a new (vegan-friendly) shampoo and conditioner, and I absolutely love them! The staff is super friendly too, I really recommend this place!

She really listened to what I wanted (even though I wasn’t very good at articulating it) and I’m super pleased with my new do. I look cool, I feel cool - thank you Kate! I’ll be back!

For the past few months, I have had awful experiences with hairdressers in Edinburgh. So much so, getting a haircut was becoming a nightmare. A friend of mine recommended me Medusa a couple of days ago and today I gave it a try. I reserved through the online booking system this morning — great idea by the way — and got my hair cut couple of minutes after. Poppy did such a great job I cannot thank her enough. I’m not a native speaker and so talking about haircuts is out my comfort zone. Nonetheless, she managed to understand what I wanted and worked accordingly. I definitely recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

Kate cut my hair perfectly to what I requested, and there was absolutely no pressure to converse, but rather relax, which is knowingly an awkward possible situation in getting your hair done. That being said we had great conversation and the complimentary wine was fantastic. Would definitely recommend Kate and Medusa at Teviot Place!

I met Kylie when I got to Medusa for the first time and I would never dream of changing her: she is the best stylist I’ve ever met in my life. Her haircuts don’t require anything: I leave the shower with my hair wet and comb, voila! Don’t need to do Anything with it. She is absolutely amazing in her craft, a class of her own. Moreover, she is the nicest person to be around: kind, polite and full of discreet class. She is one of these people so pleasing and kind: when we want to chat we chat, but when we want to be quiet she is never pushy about chitchat, just so gentle and discreet. The other persons of the staff of the salon are also very kind and they all know this amazing head massage. My favourite place to go, this salon!

All my stylists at Medusa are amazing- if one is away I trust their colleagues to look after me. This was true of Kylie today, whom I saw while Fraser is away. A fellow curly hair girl, she gave me advice for new products to bring my curl back, and Fraser would have been happy with the colour. Great team- always on point.
