Medusa Bread St

I was recommended this salon at the start of the year by a friend and she was not wrong, this place is fantastic. I’ve had three appointments now with Kate, she is absolutely brilliant at doing both cut and colour. Over the years I’ve also visited two of the other, well known, salon chains in Edinburgh (I’ll give you a clue, they both start with C), and been really disappointed with how impersonal the stylist were when delivering any service. When I visit Medusa I actually feel like someone puts a bit of thought into what they are doing. They take a look at the condition of your hair, they look at the texture and they cut a style that will fit into your routine and suit your face shape. They don’t just pick one colour number from a book, pop it on your head and hope for the best. The colour feels tailored to account for your hair natural colour/ previous hair colour that hasn’t grown out yet. Kate is the first hair dresser I’ve had that’s taken the time to explain a bit more about the science of hair- what it needs and why, rather than just tell me how important it is to use a hair mask. I would highly recommend this salon, Kate has left my hair looking and feeling better than it has done in years. You can tell that everyone who works in this salon really cares about their clients. They ask what you want instead of just telling you what they think you need. Overall, if you’re looking for a reputable salon in the Edinburgh area then forget the others and book with Medusa.
