Marie
Stylist
Marie, the owner of The Cutting Edge Hair Design has been a hairstylist for over 20 years. She knew early on that doing hair was her passion. She’s certified with many of the top hair industry companies and is constantly receiving continuing education on the latest trends and techniques, so she can offer her clients the very best. She loves helping others and making people feel good about themselves. Since she was born and raised in Commack, Marie makes sure she gives back to the local community. Her personal belief is that “You can’t go wrong when you put goodness out into the world." Although she thinks long hair styles are beautiful, she has the most fun doing short, textured haircuts. “I love the challenge of making a short haircut feminine and sexy. My short cut clients are the ones who get stopped and asked where they get their hair done!”
Marie is a certified Ouidad Curly Hair Expert, Gray Blending Specialist and Babe Hair Extension Certified.
