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.

Today I had Jenna, who is normally at Bread st, working on my hair. My hair is extremely fine, especially at the top, but Jenna gave me a flattering cut and slight curl, which made it have way more volume, and suits me much better. Was a really good experience and she gave me some good recommendations on the best products for fine hair. Very friendly and welcoming!

I'm never disappointed when visiting the salon, in fact, quite the opposite! My experiences at Medusa have always been excellent. Fraser listens to my (many) ideas when it comes to my hair, offers honest and trustworthy advice and most importantly always leaves me very happy with my hair result! Due to the amount of hair I have, I am in most of the day and I always feel very well looked after.

I was visiting Edinburgh for the weekend and needed a haircut. I googled salons close to our hotel and booked in with Laura. I had a long grown out bob and Laura had a chat with me prior to cutting to decide what length to go to and what would work for me. I love my new bob and have had so many compliments from friends and colleagues. Such a shame that I can't keep coming - although I am tempted by regular visits to Edinburgh!
