Medusa Bread Street Hair Salon 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.

Always feel great when I walk out of Medusa on Bread Street. The hairdresser really listens to what I want to achieve and works to get it as close as possible. Also tops for advise on styling and after-care.

Well I thought the impossible couldn't happen! However, the correction Kirstie did to my hair colour was better than I ever imagined. The cut is great. Kirstie is also such good fun. The time I was there flew by - not sure Kirstie would agree ????

Dark brown regrowth to platinum blonde

I can't thank Kirsty enough for the amazing job she did on my hair. I went in with 7 months regrowth of dark brown (almost black) roots hoping to get it blended in with the rest of my platinum blonde hair. I knew it was going to be really challenging but Kirsty talked me through so many options at our initial consultation and made such a good job. She even cut into her own free time to make sure I would be completely happy with the final result. All the staff were so friendly and made me feel like a V.I.P. I'll definitely be back!

I've been a client since 2000 except for the five years I was abroad. It was a delight to return. Colin is the best colourist and stylist I've ever been to. I sorely missed him when I was away. Everyone at the salon are friendly and helpful. It has a lovely atmosphere that never fails to cheer me up. Worth ever penny. Thanks Medusa, especially Colin.

Sarah had the difficult task of helping me grow out a fringe which had been badly cut at another salon.
The whole experience was fab - Sarah paid great attention to detail and I love my new haircut! Aftercare advice was provided and I was lucky enough to get discount as my friend had referred me to the salon. Will be visiting again and recommending others!

Came to Medusa looking for Kirsty to make a miracle and fix my hair colour done badly at another salon.
She exceeded my expectations! Kirsty is brilliant! Very dedicated and knowledgable in her work. Took her time doing things thoroughly and carefully. She is lovely to talk too and totally understood what I wanted. The end result? Perfect colour, haircut and blow dry. Can’t recommend enough. Will be going there now foreva ;)

My hair stylist Ashley was most attentive. Listened to how I and my friends thought my hair should look. Ashley then gave her considered advise in a helpful and open minded way. She executed what we agreed. The result was as agreed. A pleasant interesting young lady obviously enjoying and committed to her job. Thanks
