Kara Cerf, licensed cosmetologist and owner of The Gilded Edge hair salon and barbershop in West Seattle

About

Kara Cerf

Styling since 2013

It started on a back porch in Colorado when Kara was 13 — scissors in hand, her siblings in the chair. What began as curiosity grew into something she couldn't walk away from. In 2013, she left school to follow the pull she'd always felt, and by 2015 she had her cosmetology license, a master makeup artist certification, and a career already in motion at an Aveda salon in West Seattle. She didn't stop there. An instructor's license, an esthetics license, and years spent teaching the next generation of stylists followed — including a role as Executive Director of Washington Beauty School. After a decade of building, teaching, and refining her craft across salons, including specialty hair replacement work, she opened The Gilded Edge: a space entirely her own.

The Gilded Edge exists because great hair should feel personal. Kara brings over a decade of licensed experience across cosmetology, esthetics, makeup artistry, and education into every appointment — whether you're after a precision cut, a lived-in color, a clean fade, or something you've never quite been able to articulate but always wanted. No fuss. Just skilled hands, real conversation, and work you'll actually love.
