A new year is the ideal moment to rethink your hair and how you care for it. At Medusa Salons in Edinburgh, we specialise in fresh, modern looks that are tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you want a new haircut, a fabulous new balayage, a top treatment, or beauty services at selected salons, our team will guide you to the perfect combination for healthy, confident look.

Which haircuts work best for a fresh start?

A well-chosen haircut is the first step in transforming your look. At Medusa, we focus on styles that enhance your natural texture and are easy to maintain at home.

Soft layered haircuts

A layered cut introduces movement and softness while reducing excess weight. This option is ideal for hair that feels heavy, flat or lacking definition, and works beautifully with most lengths and textures.

Precision bobs and long lobs

A bob or longer “lob” creates strong shape and structure without needing extensive styling. This timeless cut grows out well and offers styling versatility, making it a favourite for clients ready for a polished change.

A Fresh Colour for 2026

A fresh hair colour can instantly brighten your complexion and boost confidence. At Medusa, our awarding winning colourists use professional Wella colour, known for delivering luminous tone, healthy-looking shine and long-lasting results.

Whether you prefer:

• Balayage for soft, sweeping highlights
• Root blending for softer regrowth
• Subtle all-over refinement
• Or a deeper, richer shade for winter warmth

Wella offers beautiful results that feel natural, flattering and easy to maintain.

The Best Treatments For Healthy Hair

Healthy hair always looks its best, and when the structure is nourished and strong, colour lasts longer and styling becomes far easier. Our in-salon Wella treatments are tailored to what your hair needs most – moisture, protein, shine, repair or a blend of all four.

These treatments work inside the hair structure to:

• Improve manageability
• Support colour longevity
• Strengthen weakened strands
• Leave hair soft, smooth and glossy

They are a perfect addition to any colour service or an excellent standalone appointment for tired, winter-dry hair.

Enjoy Frizz Free Hair With Smoothing Treatments

If frizz, humidity or flyaway strands make styling a challenge, our keratin smoothing services offer a dependable and long-lasting solution. This treatment works deep within the hair fibre to restore smoothness while maintaining natural movement.

Keratin smoothing can:

• Tame frizz and puffiness
• Soften and smooth the hair surface
• Reduce blow-drying and styling time
• Help hair stay sleeker in damp or changeable weather
• Create a polished finish without stiffness

Ideal for clients who want more control without committing to permanent straightening, this service leaves the hair noticeably easier to manage for weeks at a time. The result is smoother, shinier hair that feels beautifully soft and styles effortlessly day after day.

Support your hair from within with GLOWWA

We are proud stockists of GLOWWA, the award-winning supplement designed to improve hair health from the inside out. Unlike topical products, GLOWWA works at a nutritional level to:

• Support healthy hair growth
• Improve scalp condition
• Reduce excessive shedding
• Strengthen the hair fibre
• Encourage shine and thickness
• Benefit overall wellbeing

Made with clean, ethical ingredients, GLOWWA is an excellent partner to in-salon services, particularly if you are experiencing breakage, stress-related shedding or slow growth.

Many clients choose to combine GLOWWA with professional treatments for the best long-term results.

Why a consultation matters

Every Medusa salon visit starts with a detailed consultation. Your stylist will take time to understand your hair, lifestyle and goals before recommending a personalised plan. This ensures your cut, colour or treatment works beautifully in the salon and remains manageable at home.
