My first haircut here was amazing! Katie J. cut my hair to a beautiful long bob (for $38, which is pretty decent considering I have very thick hair & it was long) and she made sure to ask what my preference was every step of the way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the staff here as they were all really professional & skilled, but I HIGHLY recommend Katie! :) I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I love this place! It is 'homey' from the outside in. Scheduling was a little 'topsy turvy' but Arianna was a gem. She is a true perfectionist and very professional. She wanted to my spiral perm right no matter how long it took or tedious it was. I highly recommend this salon. They will take care of you and make sure all of your needs are met. read more

Great hair cut! It's a cute little salon! Susan did my hair, she was a very nice lady and I absolutely love the way she styled my hair! She did a great job!!! A little rough on the scalp lol but nonetheless still a great job! read more

I came to Cutting Edge yesterday for a simple wash and trim. First, conditioner was not used on my hair when it was washed. It was simply shampooed and wrapped up in a grungy looking, old towel. Mary, my stylist, used enough products in my hair that they could have adequately styled Rapunzel's hair (mine is cut to my shoulders). I left with hair that was cut well but was as greasy and flat as an oil slick. I normally use 2-3 pumps of leave in conditioner (the It's a 10 brand) and she used the same one on my hair; however, she used approximately 30 pumps before she blowdried my hair. Additionally, I found my service unprofessional. Mary was very kind and listened to what I wanted but the whole time she and I were being accosted by her two young daughters who were running amock though the salon. At one point, while I was getting my hair washed and my head was down in the bowl, one was looking down into my face and asking me about my eyebrows! I have never worked a job where having your two little children running around is acceptable. What is meant to be a relaxing and pampering service was annoying, stressful, and unprofessional. I enjoy the results I got as far as the cut, however, it was nothing complicated. I will not be returning and I regret spending $35 on the service that I received. It was like having my hair cut in a run-down daycare. I understand that circumstances do arise that cause you to need to take care of your kids, but you should get someone to watch your kids at the salon or at home! It was not cute or sweet. A "cutting edge" salon does not allow the 5 year old children of a stylist to run around and bug clientele. I appreciate that the business seems "family owned" and small as I enjoy supporting small local businesses but I also expect a certain level of decorum from anyone providing service to me. I am a Baylor student and have been trying salons since I arrived 1.5 years ago; I would highly recommend "The Mane Event" on Valley Mills instead of this salon. The stylists were all very kind and professional, and they offer much more "cutting edge" services compared to this salon. Anna did a cut and color correction the last time I went and she did a fabulous job at a very reasonable price. read more

I saw Madi Roe to get my roots done as well as a haircut and she was wonderful! She really impressed me with her skill and knowledge. My roots matched the color completely perfectly when she finished (which is saying something considering that I had it dyed in my hometown before I moved here and I didn't know if it had faded some, but she matched it EXACTLY). Madi is definitely my new Waco hairstylist from here on out! Would absolutely recommend. read more

Had a fabulous experience at the salon. My stylist was Santana Robinson and she was excellent. I went for a cut and style and she game me recommendations and I love how my hair turned out. I took off about 4 inches. At the end of my appointment she asked if I would like my hair curled, and taught me how to do it. Santana went above and beyond. Everyone in the salon was friendly. Prices are very reasonable and I will definitely be back for all my future beauty needs. Thank you so much Cutting Edge staff! read more

I booked an appointment with Cortny, and she's phenomenal. I had never gotten my hair dyed before, but I went in to get an subtle ombre/balayage look and she couldn't have done it any better. The price really isn't that bad either! read more

I went to Mary for eyelash extensions last week. She did an amazing job!! My lashes look so good and with just a "C" curl they a are incredibly curly. They are super thick and stiff though with the silk lashes may be of concern, but maybe they are just a thick silk? I'm not sure. They are really beautiful and none have fallen out yet! So that's good. Everyone come review for lashes! I want to know everyone's opinion bc I love them and want to hear others' reviews on LASH EXTENSIONS! read more

I go to this salon specifically for Tasha. She is amazing. I also have my cosmetology license (not practicing) and she always suggest exactly what I'm thinking for what I'm wanting. read more

Katie has done my hair, nails, and waxes for about 10 years and the job she does is nothing short of perfection. I ALWAYS leave the cutting edge feeling completely satisfied! read more

Santana did a wonderful job. I received the conditioning treatment and it took my hair from corse to another level . It had been some time since my last haircut and she did a wonderful job. She was pleasant , approachable and kind . You have a good one there Sherrie read more

I went here about a year ago to get my hair washed and curled for an event. I read the reviews and asked for an appointment with the owner. They scheduled me for that time and with the owner, but when I arrived they said "that's weird she doesn't even work on Saturdays." My appointment had been scheduled when the stylist wasn't even there. So I had to wait an HOUR for the next available stylist. When I finally sat down and the girl refused to wash my hair and when she began to style it, she told me my hair was too long to hold curls and that she couldn't do it after an hour of trying. When I finally left, my hair was half up, half down, barely curly, and I was an hour behind on my event and missed the photographer I paid for. Terrible experience and I don't think I should have had to pay as much as I did for an hour late appointment for a style I didn't want. (Side note: my roommate curled my hair, which is even longer now, a month ago with no problem. My hair can be curled, it just takes time). read more

I have always found the Cutting Edge Salon to be all that I would want it to be. Rebekah Reasoner Bass cuts & styles my hair. She is quick and efficient and has never failed to be anything but perfect when taking care of my hair needs. Rebekah is always cheerful & friendly & neatly dressed, as are the others who work there. This business has recently expanded and has other services located just across the street. I hope to take advantage of some other services in the near future. I live an hour away so to drive here means I REALLY like it!! read more

Candice did a great job giving me a new hair style before I flew to New York for internship interviews! I loved what she did and I was so confident going in to my interviews-- I got three offers! I wish I was in Waco longer to keep going back. Thanks Candice! read more

I've had such a hard time finding a stylist in Waco for my thick, wavy/curly hair. Somebody recommend Cherie and she was awesome. She listened to what I wanted and was mindful of the uniqueness of my hair. She understands curly hair and cut it accordingly. read more

I read other reviews for The Cutting Edge and saw several post for Katie. I decided to make an appointment with her and I am very glad I did. She did a great job with my color and cut. I will definitely go back. read more

A wonderful salon! I had Cherie cut my curly hair and she did a great job. Fastest haircut I have ever had because she knew exactly what she was doing with my think curly hair. Wonderful vibe and super friendly atmosphere. I'd highly recommend it! read more

Shelby West deserves every bit of these 5 stars! She has been more than my eyelash girl; she has been a life saver. I had a "do-gone-wrong" (NOT because of Shelby) the day of my family photos and without me even asking, she offered to fix it after she finished my eyelashes and she rocked it! I was her last client of the day and instead of going on with her busy day, she stayed to help me. She has also styled my hair and my make-up application for a wedding and made me feel so beautiful! She'll be more than your hair dresser, she'll be your friend. She's such a sweet, selfless person who loves what she does and gives everything she has. You will not be disappointed with Shelby. And if by chance you are, I know she will do whatever it takes to make you happy! Thank you Shelby, love you! read more

Kayla was great! The prices were reasonable and she took the time to help me figure out what I wanted. I'll definitely go back when I need another cut! read more

I got a haircut with Jessica the other day and my hair is literally uneven. It was uneven in the salon after she cut it, so she fixed it. But then when I got home and styled it again it was still uneven. She did an okay job cutting it, it's just inconvenient that I have to go back this week to have somone fix it. read more

I recently had my hair done by Susan at the salon. the salon is very nice inside and everyone was very sweet.but Susan was a little late. Susan was very nice and I told what I wanted and she seemed to know what I wanted. I was very specific about I would like her to weave the color in and not slice. Well have of the color was weaved in on the left side and then sliced on the other. I had parts of my part that were colored about 2 inches blonde and the rest brown. i had bright orange stripes in my hair as well. my shirt had gotten wet all the way down my back as well and ruined my shirt as well. i called a few times to to speak with Susan about my hair and the receptionist told me she would speak to the owner and someone would call me back. no one ever called me and I called again finally able to speak to Susan. Susan did say she would fix it and I came in and I came in ,she put color on my hair but it tones down the orange stripes but they were still there. I spent 130$ and did not get what I paid for. I had to spend another 100$ getting my hair fixed. Very disappointed in this Salon. read more
