Raeburn Place

Stockbridge isn't like the rest of Edinburgh - but it's not the architecture, the shops, the bars and restaurants that make it unique, it's the people that make it truly stand out.

Medusa in Raeburn Place distils everything we've learned in over 30 years of creating great hair cuts & colours in Edinburgh. Led by the insanely talented, award-winning (...insert more superlatives here!) Peter Mellon, the salon team in Stockbridge are at the top of their game and will give you the perfect cut each time. What's more, you'll feel part of the family every time you walk through the doors of the salon.

Cutting great hair is what we do, but it's friendliness and community that make a salon last the course.

So pop in any time, grab a seat, and let's have a chat. We have WiFi and a selection of tunes that will make you love the DJ, Prosecco by the bucket, and fresh coffees and teas.

Parking: It's Stockbridge!!....Have you ever tried parking in Stockbridge ???!!! (No really, it's not that bad at all, and if you're ever really really really stuck, we've even heard that some people have had the audacity to park their car at the nearby supermarket ...shocking if you ask me, ab-so-lutely shocking 😉 )

Meet the Raeburn Place Team

Peter

Peter's been working at medusa for three years, after deciding he wanted to push himself more within the hairdressing industry (in which he's been working for over seven years). After only one year at medusa, he successfully auditioned for the Wella Generation Now Styling Team, and then spent much of the following year touring the UK at various events and shows.

In 2015 and 2016, he made it through to the Wella TrendVision UK finals and was placed in the top 5 in 2016 - a fantastic achievement given the intense competition from across the UK.

One of Peter's new Submerged Collection of Hairstyles was recently featured on the front cover of Top Hair International (basically, hair-porn for stylists), and he has a lot of experience in photo shoots and stage work.

He's achieved incredible success for his creative styling and cutting, but also loves classic cutting and creating the perfect set of highlights for each person. He attributes this success to his absolute focus on continually learning, practicing and analysing hair styles in order to improve his abilities at each step.

Q: Why should a new client book you and not the skinny bitch with the perfect face on the other profile page ?

Because she's not as pretty as me.. all the bitches better watch because I'm changing the world one haircut at a time!!
