NORWICH – Those in need of a little off the top have one more option now that the Cutting Edge Barber Shop on 4 West Park Place has opened for business.

Cutting Edge owner and barber Danielle Monro said she now has the job she’s always wanted. Two years after earning her certification in the field of cosmetology and aesthetics through the DCMO BOCES Cosmetology Program, Monro said she’s excited about her first business venture and the satisfaction of realizing a life-long dream.

“I’m really hoping that this eventually takes off,” said the 22-year-old entrepreneur, recalling the excitement and slight hesitation she initially had in opening her own shop. “I’m a little nervous. All I wanted to do since I was little is to cut hair.”
