Here Come The Curls!

Curly Hair? You’re in Very Good Hands at Medusa

We’ve always believed that great hairdressing comes down to one thing – knowing how to work with every hair type, shape and texture. That’s why our stylists at Medusa Salons in Edinburgh have been diving deep into advanced curly hair training, and we’re absolutely loving the results.

Since the training, our team have been working their magic on curly hair of all types – and the transformations have been incredible. From soft waves to bold coils, we’re proud to say we’re better equipped than ever to help your natural texture shine.

Curl Cutting Takes Skill – And We’ve Got It!

Curly hair doesn’t play by the same rules as straight hair. It needs a different approach – a bit more time, a different cut technique, and a solid understanding of how curls behave. One wrong snip and you’re left with a shape that just doesn’t sit right. But with the right training? You get a cut that moves beautifully and grows out like a dream.

That’s what we’ve been focusing on – shaping curls properly, listening to how they fall, and using the right products to keep them happy and healthy.

Colouring Curly Hair – Placement Is Everything

Colouring curly hair is a skill in itself. The shape, density, and curl pattern all play a part in how colour shows up – so thoughtful placement is key. That’s where our colour expertise comes in.

Balayage, for example, looks stunning on curls when it’s placed to follow the natural movement of the hair. Soft highlights can add beautiful dimension without overwhelming the shape, while deeper tones can be used to contour and frame the face. It’s not a one-size-fits-all process – it’s about creating something completely bespoke that works with your curls, not against them.

Because curly hair tends to be drier by nature, we take extra care with the condition too. From bond builders to moisture-rich masks and aftercare advice, your curls will be nourished and protected at every stage.

We Never Stop Learning

Curly hair is just one part of what we do, and we’re always working to sharpen our skills across the board. Colour, texture, styling – it all matters. A big part of our colour team are Wella Colour Masters, which means you’re in expert hands whether you’re going bold, bright or beautifully blended.

The truth is, hairdressing never stands still – and neither do we. Training is how we stay ahead and give every client the best service possible.

The Right Products Make All the Difference

Curls need moisture, definition and care – but not all at once. That’s where the right products come in. We’ve learnt how to build a proper curl routine that works for each individual head of hair. From lightweight leave-ins to curl creams that actually do what they promise, we’ll help you find what works (and what to avoid).

We’ll also show you how to get the most from your curls at home – whether you’re air drying, diffusing or doing your own thing.

Want to Help Us Keep Growing?

We’re always on the lookout for more curly-haired clients to work with. If you, or someone you know, has natural curls and would love a fresh cut, we'd love to welcome you in.

We're still learning, still perfecting, and we’d love the chance to grow our experience even further. You’ll get a great haircut, expert advice, and help our team continue their journey with curly hair.
