The origins of Edge

People need reasonably priced, efficient, and consistent modern haircuts. Edge is so much more. Our founder Jodi Grieshop created a professional salon service that is fun and trendy, a destination anyone will be comfortable visiting for an experience to remember that they will want to share with their friends & fam!

Jodi was born and raised in Dubuque, Iowa, where she graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor’s degree in Theater Arts. Jodi fulfilled her early ambition of moving on to the Aveda Headquarters for Cosmetology School upon graduation.

She then moved to Atlanta after being recruited by Don Shaw, Owner of DASS Salon.  Jodi settled into Atlanta quickly and her entrepreneurial spirit led her to starting the company she has now run for 24 years.  In 2007, she invested in a building and opened Shear Salon which is still thriving today. 

With a deep desire to give back to hairstylists and clients alike, Jodi brainstormed on deconstructing the haircut experience for the many who are short on time and just want a good old-fashioned haircut in a beautiful space guaranteed to offer a consistent experience.  With this clear vision, Edge Boutique came into existence.  

She is now training stylists in her training methods; these stylists are using products that she personally curated.Jodi will to train and mentor stylists to deliver fun, fresh, and efficient haircuts whether they work at Edge Boutique or just want to learn her (Service marked) methods and stay in their current space.

Jodi is a mother of two, a hustler, and a creative, fun-loving, hardworking stylist full of optimism who looks forward to what the future holds.

DryCut Method Basics

When hair is cut when it’s dry it prevents overcutting and styling is consistent, making it easier to recreate that salon-worthy look at home.

During our signature DryCuts…

  • The stylist can observe in real time how the hair is naturally falling and moving 
  • The hair is stronger and easier to handle
  • The hair is less likely to be damaged because we don’t over-work the hair with product
  • Styling the hair is consistent and can be replicated at home
