Medusa Apothecary Description

Medusa means “sovereign female wisdom, ”
Once the most beautiful maiden on earth Medusa’s magnificent hair was her crowning glory. As she dared to vie in beauty with Athena, the goddess deprived her of her charms and changed her beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents. It was inscribed that no one could possibly lift her veil, as she saw your future and that to look upon her face reflects one’s own demise.
While Medusa is usually considered to be ugly, one myth states that it was her great beauty that paralyzed all observers.
At Medusa Apothecary, our aim is to delight our customers through offering an extensive and exclusive range of naturally based premium products and services. (All attractively packaged, sprinkled with a little decadence and lovingly tied up with a pretty bow. ) Our boutique offers an alternative array of skin hair and cosmetic preparations, where we warmly welcome you with knowledge and advice to enable you to make an informed decision on the perfect lotions and potions to best suit you.
Once you book in to our unique Redken approved Hair Salon, you can sit back and relax with longer appointment times and a non-clinical, sumptuous atmosphere. Encounter a totally comforting and unique experience.
We have a boutique mail order department and offer a free, no obligation help and advice service for all of our goods and services. If you can’t make it in to see us, then why not give us a call?
We all look forward to seeing you soon!

What a treat! Snug in a warm blanket, a luxurious facial followed by a relaxing back massage. Thank you Hannah. I felt great all evening.

User

Vicky is the best! I go to her regularly for waxing but yesterday I had the most amazing maternity massage, I have already booked another for a few weeks time. Lovely salon/spa, great staff, beautiful products. Highly recommended!

User

Transformation haircut by Duncan very pleased thanks

User

Thanks to Hannah for the most amazing relaxing treatments this morning. Two and a half hours of pure bliss. Moroccan Rose facial, full body scrub followed by full body massage. Heaven. Lovely warm room with tranquil atmosphere just fabulous. Hannah applied the right amount of pressure I was totally relaxed and impressed by her professionalism. I would thoroughly recommend her. Thank you Hannah

My wife booked a shave and hair cut with Thom. Fantastic experience and perfect way to spend 90 minutes. Love my styled hair cut and would love to return. As I now live in Australia my visits won't be as frequent as I would like. Fantastic addition to Dorchester. Thanks Medusa.

Medusa Apothecary is a haven of service, quality and luxury. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The products used in the salon and sold in the store are all without exception of outstanding quality and efficacy (I haven't tried absolutely everything mind you, but I'm working my way through!). Medusa is my favourite shop - it always smells fabulous and is a fantastic shopping and pampering experience.

Jake did a fantastic job with my hair - it was perfect and I had as many compliments about my hair as my blue wedding dress ;-) Thank you for letting me go out for cigarettes to calm my nerves and for the cookies to settle my stomach!! Wonderful salon - I would use you all the time if I lived in Dorchester x

User

I had an amazing facial and the best full body massage I’ve had in ages today! Thank you Vicki! And I’m just sorry I didn’t find Dean earlier - so happy with my hair these days.

Everyone who works there is warm and friendly and lovely! I can’t keep away!! �
