EDGE Academy San Diegointroduces GlassCandy, a new six-look collection that represents the next evolution of the academy’s aesthetic where raw edge meets refined technique. GlassCandy explores a more fluid expression of shape, movement, and confidence. Think “dive bar grown up” meaning it's still bold, yet polished, versatile, and effortlessly wearable. Texture stays at the heart of every look, but now it flows, capturing that subtle tension between structure and ease, precision and play.
“With GlassCandy, we wanted to create something elevated but real,” says Anthony Edge, Creative Director of EDGE Academy. “It’s modern, minimal, and made for stylists who know the power of simplicity.” EDGE Educator Andi Richardson adds, “Being part of the creative process has been incredible. It celebrates both individuality and technical craft.”
The collection was proudly sponsored by SITCH Haircare, a line of refillable, high-performance products created by professionals for professionals and B Corp certified in 2025. Every look was styled using SITCH essentials, reflecting a shared commitment to performance, sustainability, and integrity.
