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.

Yuko Hair Straitening

Caroline Dell
6th Nov 2021
Stylist: Craig
5.0

I got the Yuko hair straightening treatment a couple of months ago. At first I was unsure about the treatment due to the cost, however, I couldn't be happier with the results. My hair has always been difficult... it's naturally a bit wavy, but not properly curly. I would straighten it within an inch of it's life, and then before I'd even left the house it would start kinking and frizzing. Outside was even worse, any moisture or wind, any elements at all and it would never stay how I would like it. So I ended up never wearing it down. Just really badly behaved hair! Since having the treatment I now feel like I have "normal" hair! It behaves! I've worn it down in different weather conditions, sunshine, even rain!! And it actually stays straight! Miracle for my hair! I can dry it naturally too and have it wavy, actual nice non fizzy waves! I now have the best of both worlds. Couldn't be happier with the results! I wish I'd done this year's ago...my boyfriend said I no longer moan about my hair every morning! Because I don't have to fight with it anymore! Craig, thankyou so much for recommending this treatment! Worth every penny! Xxxx
