A necessary indulgence. A relaxing and renewing experience. A salon is one of the few places that a client can enter with the confidence that they will emerge looking and feeling better than before. At The Cutting Edge Hair Design in Commack, owner Marie Perico's mission is to provide friendly and professional service in an inviting environment. "We want each and every client to feel like this is a place where he or she can come to escape and relax from everyday stresses,” says Marie.

Marie is an experienced stylist and certified colorist. Nine years ago, she set out to open a salon with an “upscale atmosphere and highly trained staff, but with prices that wouldn’t break the bank.” Longtime client Renee DeFilippis states, “Marie certainly achieved that goal. I have been a loyal customer of Marie for over 12 years, and I was overjoyed when she opened up her own salon. The prices are reasonable and the ambiance is perfect!”

The Cutting Edge offers hair cuts, single process color, highlights, glazes, corrective color, keratin straightening, relaxers, hair extensions, deep conditioning treatments and scalp massages. They use Rusk Professional color and styling products. Marie is an educator for Rusk and receives extensive training in cutting and color. In addition, all stylists on staff are Rusk Advocates and receive advanced training. They are able to offer their clients both products and services (such as the new Rusk DeepShine Keratin Treatment) before they are available to the general public. They also offer a Spa Night once a month, joining with local massage therapists/estheticians to treat their clients to free blowouts, conditioning treatments, mini facials and massage.

For many people a new hair cut, color or style is a transformative experience. At The Cutting Edge, Marie understands and encourages experimentation. “I love that I can try something radical, and have the full support of my hairdresser,” says client Jeanne Kavanagh-Hohne.

Every October the salon holds a one-day “Cut for a Cure,” which has raised over $15,000 for The American Cancer Society. Marie also volunteers for “Look Good, Feel Better,” a program that helps women cope with the appearance-related side effects of cancer, such as hair loss and scalp sensitivity. She also volunteers at a wig bank at the American Cancer Society in Hauppauge.

Marie and her team invite you to unwind and enhance your natural beauty at The Cutting Edge Hair Design. For more information call 631-864-4300 or check out their website at www.saloncuttingedge.com. Located at 6065 Jericho Turnpike, Commack.
