Nelson

Certified Hair Practitioner · Bowie, MD

I am a certified hair practitioner with a passion for short hair, precision cuts, custom units, and helping every client walk out feeling like the boldest version of themselves.

I take pride in how my work can completely change not just how people look but also how they feel about themselves. Therefore, I constantly work on improving my skills, learning new techniques, experimenting and keeping myself up to date with current trends. I've worked with all types of hair in my career and perfected them all. My creativity affords me the ability to customize each signature style to each individual client.

The Philosophy

What it means to be
On The Edge

Getting on the edge is about being Experimental, Distinguishable, Glamorous, and feeling Empowered, jumping out the box and becoming a new you.

The name isn't just a brand. It's a belief system. Getting on the edge means refusing to stay in your comfort zone when it comes to your hair, your look, and your confidence.

Every appointment is a creative collaboration. Marquita listens first, then brings her trained eye and technical expertise to bring your vision to life.

Whether you walk in with a Pinterest board or just a feeling, you'll leave with a style that is unmistakably, unapologetically you.

Glamorous
Glamour is about polish, intention, and that feeling when everything comes together perfectly.
E

You walk out feeling like the most confident version of yourself, ready to take on the world.
