The Cutting Edge opened its doors in May 1998 in downtown Milton. The salon is owned and operated by Susan Kret. Since that time, The Cutting Edge has established a reputation for being one of Milton’s premier hair salons. In fact, the salon has won first place in the category of Favourite Hair Salon for the “Milton's Choice Award” for 2002 and 2003.

The Cutting Edge is totally committed to the interest and well being of its many clients and strives to provide a relaxing and enjoyable environment. In keeping with this philosophy, The Cutting Edge underwent a new and exciting transformation in the fall of 2003. This renovation included a whole new color scheme and stylish contemporary furnishings to add to the client’s experience. In this environment where client comfort reigns supreme, we will strive to discover your needs with a passion for every detail.

Our team of stylists each possess unique abilities to customize the current trends and styles to suit your every need. The following biographies make up The Cutting Edge team:
