Salon Nervousness?. As in, I was always one of those people that couldn't relax and enjoy the salon experience. Having stylists that are more interested in being stylists rather than someone who, you know, listens to what you have in mind, and even maybe takes a little time to get to know you. I saw Glenn (the owner) for extensions, and I swear from the beginning it was like I had always been going there. They're in a cool location in Belltown, and there is no pretension, no loud dance music or huge front desk manned by someone with an earpiece and better things to do than talk to you about, you know, hair. Glenn's a total professional, easy to talk with, work with, and knows, not just hair, but STYLE. He clearly individualizes his approach and really seemed to want to help my hair look great in the context of my personal style. My salon beef is gone and now I look forward to going, finally my salon experience is what it should be- relaxing, enjoyable, and confidence-building, rather than a vanity-related chore. So if you're like me, chill out and go to Gilt Edge and love going to the salon again.

I found my new stylist!!. I purchased a Groupon, which was offering cut/wash/style for $25. Since moving here I have not really found someone to do my hair and was only getting my hair cut when I flew back to Michigan. Um, that is not so convenient.

The salon itself is kind of minimalist, has really cool huge canvas paintings on the walls and uses one of my fav product lines, Kevin Murphy. It wasn't like an uppity salon, but felt more like you were getting your hair cut in a gallery or something like that.

I thought I'd just get a basic trim, as you never know with a new stylist, but I ended up walking out missing 7 inches and with seriously, one of the best cuts I've ever had (and people keep complimenting me, which is always fun.)

Cadance was my stylist and she was super nice. She had some ideas and wanted to take a lot of length off my hair. She sat with me and talked with me for a bit about what it would look like, kind of played with my hair to show me what she was thinking, etc. She definitely took her time with me, which I appreciated as I was scared to death to cut my hair.

She started cutting longer, then asking me if I was OK with that length, if I wanted to go shorter, etc. She did that seriously 3 or 4 times. She wanted to make sure I was comfortable with how it looked and I don't think she wanted me freaking out about how much hair I was removing.

She made sure it was perfect before she finished. Also, she does free bang trims in between cuts, which is a bonus.

All in all, for the first time ever I don't have crazy long hair but I am very happy with how it looks and I think found my new stylist in Seattle.

"So fresh and so clean, clean". Not going to lie, Cadance gave me a PIMP @ S S haircut. Shes knows her Sh! T and takes her time. I actually got laid that night because my hair is so rad now. I recommended The guilty Edge Society and Cadance... Very processional and clean establishment. Place is awesome!

BEST HAIRCUT EVER!!!!. Glen walked me through my hair cut and explained everything that he was doing and why. Showed me how i could tame the beast aka my hair. He is truly one of the best hair stylist i've had who's been able to get my hair exactly the way i want it.

I'll most def go back and would definitely recommend anyone to go there :)
