Banish your fear of the scissors at Seattles newest gem, the Gilt Edge Society. Owner and stylist, Glenn Gustavik brings back the art to hair cutting. Located in the heart of belltown in downtown Seattle, the salon evokes a sense of new romantic mixed with modern aesthetics. Victorian furniture and chandeliers are juxtaposed by stripped walls of graffiti art. Two cruiser bikes parked outside the building await to escort fresh flowers from the market. Youll never have to wait, but if you have the inkling there is an old pin ball machine waiting to escort you back to 1984. To have your hair cut by Glenn, one must appreciate the true art of hair cutting. Glenn has an amazing eye and ability to design a haircut that will best compliment your face, lifestyle, and yet have the ease of everyday low maintenance. You will never walk out of the salon with a style that you cant recreate at home. And you will never pay for a service or get pushed to buy products that will break your pocketbook. I always feel secure walking in and letting Glenn have artistic license. Although Im not afraid of taking inches off my hair, Ive noticed through other clients that he also has the amazing ability to shape and cut without looking like hes taken any length off. One of my closest friends gets her hair cut at the salon nearly every 4-6 weeks and her hair has appears to have grown like wildfire. Regardless of your age, style, or facial features you will be more than satisfied with your new look. You will become a loyal customer and friend.His other two stylists, Jessica and Steven are talents themselves. Both bring the same sense of edginess yet with a modern livability. Their ability to mix trends with a classical appeal and timelessness is uncanny. Hair cutting becomes sculptural and i was even chased around the streets of New York City for my hair cut. I told Glenn next time Im traveling, Im wearing my racing flats. ;)
