Tell us about yourself!

My passion is to enhance your natural beauty and give you a luxury treatment! Making sure you feel confident enough to give important first impressions in life. Since I was a young girl I've always had a knack for beauty makeup, hair and fashion.

I've worked behind the chair for 13 years and throughout that time I've attended numerous advanced education courses with Loreal Professional, Schwarzkopf, Pulp Riot, Aveda, Moroccan Oil and had the opportunity to work NYFW 2014.

I specialize in hair cutting, coloring, blowouts and styling. Bleach and tones, natural highlighting, vivids, and precision cutting are all my favorites. Placement is key when it comes to the overall design aspect and this is where I find excitement in creating a look.

My inspiration comes from colors and patterns found in nature, art, TV, films, music and photography.

I can't wait to elevate your look!

  • "Despite the busy day, thank you so much for giving me an amazing haircut. I haven't gone to the hair salon in a while, so I didn't know what to expect, but Kat exceeded all my expectations. I truly appreciate it. Thank you!"

    -Christy

  • "Kat always does such a good job with my hair! I really appreciate how much time she takes to cut my hair to my liking. She always does a fantastic job of giving me lots of layers but still making them soft enough to blend into my hair. She listens to what I want too and always checks in with me to make sure I like how the hair cut is going."

    -Ella

  • "Kat does a beautiful highlight & casual hair cut. She is tastefully creative. She listens & adjusts according to my style goals. Many thanks Kat!"
