Medusa Broughton Street Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

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.

Everytime I take the first morning appointment the stylist is never on time, I’m always welcomed by the assistant and reassured the stylist won’t be long and offered refreshments which I’m grateful for, but you’d think the stylist would be earlier regarding I’m the first cilent of the day. Apart from that great service thanks again, the above comment is a heads up as I know other cilents won’t stand for this

For years, i travel from York to Egg for my cut and colour and it’s always worth it. Craig is a colour magician and once again a top class result!! Always feel like a new woman and this time, no exception. My visit is always fun with welcoming staff for a chin wag . High five Egg. Excellent on every count. Thank you so much, again. Jules X

Been going to Craig for over 15 years and can truly say never been unhappy with my hair. I’ve gone in with photos, as you do ????, and love the fact that he is totally honest and if it’s not for you he won’t just go and do it but discusses why not good. Fab salon!

Atended again for another straightening treatment from Craig and, as always, the whole experience was faultless. After trying a few other salons and all of them a bad experience, I was on the verge of going back curly until I found Craig! He is very knowledgeable with great advice about what I needed. Very patient and understanding, and I always feel at home here!

Fantastic products used which I intent to buy and the general atmosphere was very relaxed.

First time at Egg and glad I went, Donna was great! Gave me sound advice on my hair colour. For years I have dyed it myself and now it's a colour far too dark for me and permanent! Have arranged another appointment for hair colour. Donna's experience was very apparent when discussing my hair and I'm looking forward to a hair colour that I like and that suits me.

After several bad experiences over the year I was nervous about getting my hair cut. I decided to give EGG Hairdressing a try after a recommendation from a family member and I was not disappointed. My stylist really took the time to listen to what I wanted and seemed to understand my vision, wow my shampoo was impressive couldn’t fault anything plus the girl was lovely & very welcoming made me feel at ease (ps the head massage is worth leaving a tip) everyone was chatty and friendly but didn’t force the conversation as some do. All the products that were used during my visit were explained to me with reasons as to why they had been chosen, I even walked away with a purchase! I absolutely love my new style and I’m already excited to go back. Thank you so much EGG

I’m happy with my colour, however not so with the cut. Also, the assistant who’s washed my hair wasn’t gentle at all. She pulled my hair while washing and it wasn’t done properly. I had to wash it again when I got home. A bit disappointed.
