“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.
