We are often asked "Why Salon Medusa? Didn't Medusa have snakes for hair?"  But few people know the entire Legend of Medusa.

In Greek Mythology, there were three sisters: Sthenna, a blond, Euryale, a redhead, and Medusa, who had spectacular black hair so silky and shiny it reflected the moonlight.  All three of the Moon Goddesses were gorgeous, but Medusa was the most beautiful of them all. Gods and mortals alike pursued them.

One night the sisters seduced three gods in the temple of Athena. Athena, jealous of the sisters' great beauty, became enraged and pronounced a curse on the three:

"Hair-proud women, vain and haughty, how you'll wish you'd not been naughty. When you look in the mirror, you'll get shivers and shakes, your long thick hair is now a nest of snakes!"

Because Medusa was the most beautiful, the jealous Goddess cast a second spell on her alone:

"Medusa, here's a curse for you alone, whoever looks upon your face shall be turned to stone.  Gods or mortals, there is no place to hide, one peek at you and they'll be petrified!"

We feel that Medusa embodies our vision of beauty, a confident woman with hair so gorgeous she had the power to make goddesses jealous. When you leave Salon Medusa, Gods and mortals alike will pursue you and like Medusa you will stop them in their tracks! We will bring out the goddess in you, and give you......Looks that Kill!
