“The best hair doesn’t change who you are. It brings out the boldest, most confident version of you.“ -Kate

Meet Kate.

Kate didn’t plan to fall in love with hair. She enrolled in cosmetology school thinking she’d be doing makeup… only to discover it was basically 99% hair. Plot twist: she turned out to be naturally gifted and graduated at the top of her class. Sometimes destiny grabs the scissors for you.

While haircutting is her first obsession — long transformations, sharp designer shapes, barber-style precision — Kate is also an absolute force with color. From dimensional blonding to major makeovers, she’s known around Virginia as one of the top cut-and-color stylists.

She’s what you’d call an intuitive stylist. She just knows how to make people look fantastic. Whether it’s straight, wavy, or type 3 curly hair, Kate understands shape, movement, and what makes a cut feel right on your head, not just in a photo.

If you want a great cut, gorgeous color, and a stylist who instinctively “gets it,” Kate delivers every time.

Testimonial’s For Kate

  • "It’s phenomenal in this salon. Kate did such a great job with my hair, the atmosphere genuinely feels like a home — everyone working here gets along so genuinely well."

    -Fran H.

  • I'm transitioning to my natural gray hair and needed some professional guidance. Kate provided this and then some. I feel so much lighter and younger from this new haircut; one of the best I've had in years. Kate is knowledgable, experienced, thoughtful, engaging, and really good at her craft! I'll be back.

    -Jenine G.

  • "Kate is amazing! I have Irish curls, and it's so hard to find the perfect cut for my mix of wavy and curly hair textures. This is by far the best curly cut I've ever had, and it hasn't even been 24 hours. You can tell Kate knows what she's doing. I came in with no reference pictures and no idea what I wanted. I trusted her process, and I'm thrilled with the results!!!! Not to mention, she has an awesome personality. I had a lot of fun today. Thank you, Kateeee!!!!"

    Layla H.

  • “Was incredibly nervous and anxious to get my hair properly cut in a salon setting for the first time. Kate and Stef did such an amazing job of making me feel comfortable and calm. Both of them Kate absolutely killed it with my hair. I had no clue or direction with what I wanted. But she listened to what I didn’t like about my hair...and moved accordingly to rectify those complaints and had me leave with a haircut I now genuinely love. Absolutely amazing!”
