Leave it to me to find a new hairdresser by following a cute dog…read more.. A few months back, my go-to salon closed down and my fabled hairdresser has yet to find a new place. That meant, for the better half of the last nine weeks, I've looked like a disheveled cat... you'd be surprised how quickly a simple bob can get unruly. I've passed by this place nearly every day and have always been curious, as the signage out front is well done and it only being open Thursday-Sunday with Stockbridge rents, must do pretty well for itself. But it wasn't until I followed big brown puppy dog eyes into the shop that I actually made an appointment. First thing you need to know about this place: George is awesome. George is NOT the owner/stylist, but his ridiculously cute mastiff that will jump up and wiggle butt to greet you when you walk in the door. Within 10 seconds, I was putty and willing to put myself in a chair regardless of price, just to spend an hour with this dang cute dog... it's brilliant marketing when you think about it. So distracted was I by the cuteness of the dog, that I don't actually remember the owners name (sorry!!) but he's super energetic and good chat. I hate awkward silence stylists... Cute dogs and nice humans aside, how was the haircut? A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B... The pros: the cut was fairly priced (£30) and he managed to tame the ridiculously unruly hairline at the back of my neck... a bob is already a tricky thing to do right, but throw in this monster of a hairline and it's a total nightmare to cut. The back of my bob looks spiffy right now. The cons: it took a really long time, over an hour and a half, for the cut - with my schedule, that's not something that falls in a yay category, even if it did mean more dog cuddle time. Plus, the cut isn't has clean as I like it and the fringe is already a bit unruly... partially my own fault for not speaking up or realizing he was doing mini layers (which on fine hair, is the devil)... but a little disappointing nonetheless. Would I go back? Yes. But that has a lot to do with the fact that it's across the street from my house... I don't think it would fall into a destination salon category for me quite yet. However, his men's haircuts look pretty darn spiffy. Cute dog. Clean shop. Good chat. You could do worse...

I'm not one who really looks after her hair very well and I told Gary that I needed something low maintenance, which he executed perfectly. I recently went back for a shorter cut, which I'm really pleased with. If you are a customer, you occasionally get discounts, which is always a bonus! Not only Gary is a talented hairdresser but he is also super nice and chatty, and I do love a bit of gossip about the neighbourhood and beyond! I do try to use my local businesses as much as possible so that's a winner! Highly recommended.

Men- this is a great place to get your hair cut. I just sat and watched the owner (I think, at…read moreleast he's the oldest one working there and seemed in charge) cut my hubby's hair. I gave simple instructions (because I'm the picky one; he gets to ask me to grow my hair long, I get to dictate his hair) to neaten it but keep it shaggy. And 40 min later there was a gorgeous head of hair. They offer coffee/wine as you get your cut, which is one of those little perks I love and that set these places to the 5* mark. The cute guest chairs were comfy, they had new magazines, and friendly staff. Oh and the guys cuts go from £15-20. Worth it over they £8 cut he used to get which I hated.

Excellent professional hairdressers…read more I am someone who is very protective over their hair, so when I went for my appointment I was very anxious. However all these feelings were soon forgotten as my hairdresser was very friendly and listened to what I wanted and did not let me down! You get offered a complimentary hot drink and the shampoo they use smells lovely! They are very professional and know what they are doing. You can often walk in and get your hair cut straight away or book an appointment for later that day. They also have a website where you can book online and have gift vouchers etc. The hairdressers itself is very modern with cool lighting! The music I find is perfectly fine but I doubt it would appeal to the over 60s! The price varies with which hairdresser you have. All in all, Excellent, and I would definately recomend it to a friend.

No one replied to my email, so after I called the salon they gave me an appointment that same day. They are open until 8 3 days a week so it's perfect for popping in after work. They don't allow you to not have your hair washed and blow dryed, which is a bit annoying but since their prices are really cheap I didn't mind. I paid £25 for a wash, cut with layers and professional blow dry (that looked really nice) and some finishing products. I was suitably impressed. They only tried selling their products to me once but when I firmly said thanks but no thanks they didn't keep pressing, unlike in other salons. On Wednesdays you get all colour done for 20% less so having your roots done or highlights (including wash and blow dry) will set you back a mere £20. All in all i would recommend it to all my friends and family as it is not only excellent value but also very good service.

You get a good shot of vodka before she starts with the scissors... :) Which was perfect as I went from long to short so I needed it haha!

I am going back tomorrow now three months later :) Also she does not tell me what I have to do, but works around how I treat my hair which is great. She said 'I cant train your hands', which makes sense as I am used to moving through my hair in a certain way for ages now. Having curly hair, I've been traumatised many many times since being a little girl coming from hair dressers. I have to say, this is one of the best experiences I ever had! So happy I found it!

I have been to this salon several times to get my hair cut and each time I leave feeling completely fabulous! From the moment you walk into the salon you feel like a valued customer as all the staff are incredibly friendly. Each time I have been it has always been very busy, although I have always managed to get an appointment at the last minute which is a bonus. Getting my hair washed at Medusa is definitely my favourite aspect of the hairdressing experience. They lather your hair in the most delicious smelling shampoo and massage your head for a wee while which is so relaxing! My hairdresser was very friendly and understood exactly what it was I was after. The prices start at £32 for a ladies hair cut and blow dry which I first thought was a little bit expensive but having been and experienced the service, I found that it was very worth it. They do offer student discounts which start at 10%. Medusa also has a beauty salon in its hairdressing store and offers manicures and pedicures.
