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 😉 )

Consultation-led, extremely detailed and honest. I love having a plan for your hair, including how you’ll maintain it at home, which products will genuinely benefit your hair and where you may want to take it in the future. I won’t just think about what you want today - I’ll consider where you might want your hair to be six months or a year from now too. I’ll always be realistic about what is achievable and what will work best for your hair.

Blonding • Hair Transformations

I LOVE:

I love creating beautiful blondes and helping clients completely transform their hair while still keeping it looking natural and effortless. Whether you’re wanting to brighten up your colour, become a blonde for the first time or take your hair in a totally new direction, I love seeing the difference a transformation can make to how someone feels. I especially enjoy creating colours that suit the individual rather than just following a trend, and making sure you leave the salon feeling confident and excited about your hair.

MY IDEAL CLIENT:

My ideal client is someone who trusts me and is open to having fun with their hair. I love working with clients who are happy to have a proper consultation, tell me what they’re thinking and then trust my advice on what will work best for their hair. Whether you know exactly what you want or you’re happy to let me take the lead, I want you to feel comfortable in my chair and know that we’re working together to create something you’ll genuinely love.

MY STYLE:

My approach is friendly, relaxed and completely personal. I want my clients to feel like they’re sitting down with a friend rather than just coming in for an appointment. I’ll always listen to what you want, understand you and your lifestyle, and give you honest advice about what I think will work best for your hair. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and confident that I’ll always have your best interests at heart, while still making your appointment enjoyable and relaxed.

YOU’LL LOVE ME IF:

You want a stylist who feels more like a friend — someone who will listen to you, understand what you’re looking for and give you honest advice without making you feel pressured.

If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your hair, whether you’re wanting to go blonde, completely transform your look or simply need some guidance on what would suit you best, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable, understood and excited about your hair.
