The listing you are looking at mixes two halves of the same business. 43 Crystal Lake Drive in North Augusta, South Carolina, is Edge Salon & Spa, the hair and makeup side. The (706) 869-5800 number rings Edge Formals, the gown shop, which the company’s own site places at 113 Cherry Street Suite B in Augusta, Georgia. The site lists both addresses on the same page under the same name. Amarra’s retailer locator still files the store under “Edge, North Augusta,” which is how the two got tangled together in directories like this one.
So before anyone drives: if you are shopping for a dress, Cherry Street is the address. If you are booking prom-morning hair and makeup, Crystal Lake Drive is the address. Doing both means two stops in two states.

The gown side
Edge Formals is authorized for Amarra and Jovani — both brands list the store on their own retailer locators, which is the only reliable way to know a shop stocks the real thing. The store’s site describes the floor as prom, pageant and social occasion gowns carried in stock from size 0 to 30, in both short and long lengths, and says the shop is a Jim’s Formalwear retailer for tuxedo rentals. That last part matters if you would rather handle a dress and a date’s tux with one phone call.
Both sides run by appointment, and the site tells you to check the shop’s social pages or call for current hours rather than trusting a posted schedule. Take that at face value and call first. Outside gown season the Cherry Street front room runs mahjong lessons and open play, so the room you try dresses in has a second life.
Who shops here
The North Augusta address sits on Crystal Lake Drive in Hammond’s Ferry, the riverfront neighborhood built along the Greeneway with a neighborhood dock on the Savannah. It is close-in: real estate listings on the same street put the block under three miles from the Medical College of Georgia campus. That is the practical geography of this whole area — the state line is a bridge, not a barrier, and a family in North Augusta crosses it for errands without thinking about it.
The Aiken County schools closest to the salon are North Augusta High on Knobcone Avenue, with about 1,700 students, and Fox Creek High, the charter school on Shortcut Road with roughly 690. Farther out in the county are Midland Valley, South Aiken and Aiken High, and Strom Thurmond sits over the line in Edgefield County. Because the gown floor is on the Georgia side, almost every one of those seniors is crossing the river to shop and crossing back to get her hair done.
Before you call
Have a style number ready if you have one. Amarra and Jovani both number their gowns, and a shop can tell you in a minute whether that exact style is on the floor and in what sizes, which saves a trip. Ask which address your appointment is at, and confirm it out loud — the two are in different cities, different counties and different states, and the phone number on most listings belongs to only one of them.
