Medusa edinburgh

I am unbelievably angry and upset. After having a very mediocre experience with them the first time last year, I came back once again a year later for another trim hoping it would be different. Instead the same stylist ruined my hair. I had long, luscious black locks and asked the stylist what she suggested. She said the edges of my hair were starting to get quite dry and were thinning and I agreed with her suggestion of trimming the edges. By the end of the haircut, my hair was fully ironed for no reason giving a very deceiving perspective of the actual length of my hair. A day later I noticed how ridiculously short my hair had gotten with the edges not being trimmed evenly and the layers completely uneven. I now look absolutely ridiculous and numerous friends and family have expressed how terribly the haircut has been performed. The haircut in itself was extremely shoddy ,lacked all technical skills and was worse than an amateur stylist. I am now only holiday looking absolutely ridiculous knowing that it will take a long long time for my hair to recover from this unprofessional mess and have noone to blame but Medusa. If I post my before and after pictures, you will be absolutely shocked and will want this place to shut down by this disaster. I strongly recommend that nobody goes to this place. I am forced to give it one star but it deserves none.

I had the best hair treatment by Katy. Lovely and experienced senior stylist who also did a wonderful job cutting my hair.. I loved my experience and will keep going back.

Amazing colour and cut by Lucy...... have nothing but praise for The salon! Thanks too to Fraser for handling all my enquiries. Highly recommend

For the past few months, I have had awful experiences with hairdressers in Edinburgh. So much so, getting a haircut was becoming a nightmare. A friend of mine recommended me Medusa a couple of days ago and today I gave it a try. I reserved through the online booking system this morning — great idea by the way — and got my hair cut couple of minutes after. Poppy did such a great job I cannot thank her enough. I’m not a native speaker and so talking about haircuts is out my comfort zone. Nonetheless, she managed to understand what I wanted and worked accordingly. I definitely recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

All the staff were lovely and the service was great !

I had Highlights, tone and a hair mask done by the talented Alejandro and I couldn't be better pleased. He took the time to ask all the right questions to make sure he understood what my expectations were and presented me alternatives of how they could be met. He executed the concept we agreed on flawlessly, explaining to me what was going on at every stage and checking I'd be happy with the progress. He took care of the health of my hair at all times. I'm left with an evenly saturated head of highlights that fall randomly in all the right places. My hair is picture perfect from every angle. Tons of depth and movement! The most thorough and professional service and results I've ever had, and I've had my mane bleached and toned for more than 15 years in different countries! I wholeheartedly reccomend Alejandro at Medusa in Teviot Place.

Alex did a stellar job cutting my hair! I have super long hair and went in to get a decent amount trimmed off, Alex was happy to work around the ridiculous length, and he gave me a gorgeous haircut that somehow kept it long but didn’t look drab and boring, but without choppy layers which I wanted to avoid. He made sure to check that the length was ok until I was happy with it, and gave me some cute face framing too. I’ll be back for my next haircut 😊

Perfect. Gentle shampoo time, a new cut that I love ! So professional.

Had a wash an blow-dry. The lady herself was lovely and did a great job washing my hair. Unfortunately had to take the diffuser from the hairstylist and explain how to diffuse my hair as she was grabbing parts, scrunching in her hand and placing it over the diffuser rather than letting the curls sit in the diffuser bowl. I have fairly thick curly black hair so not sure if they have much experience in this. Pretty sure my hair would have curled better if I had let it naturally dry however I didn't want to walk around Edinburgh with wet hair. Would have left 4 stars however for £31 it was a bit of a let down.

Medusa Teviot has been my go to hairdressers for a while now. Always get amazing service.
