Cat is a color specialist with 17+ years in the industry, who blends artistry and alchemy to create transformative hair through intentional color, precision cutting, and expressive shapes. Her work ranges from bold, high-impact transformations to refined natural tones, always with a strong focus on maintaining the integrity of the hair.
​
Known for big changes, she works across creative, corrective, and vivid color, with a particular love for reds and anything that stands out. Her haircutting spans from laser-precise bobs to heavily textured shags and everything in between, allowing her to fully shape and support each transformation.
​
Education is a core part of Cat’s career. She has taught for professional brands and now works closely with cosmetology students, helping shape the next generation of stylists. With a deep understanding of hair color chemistry and a no-fluff approach to learning, she brings both technical knowledge and real-world application into everything she does behind the chair.
​
Her chair is collaborative, conversational, and a little chaotic in the best way. Expect deep dives into astrology, the universe, and whatever current hyperfixation is in rotation. She is the right fit for clients who want something intentional, bold, and fully aligned with who they are.
​
Her alternative spirit draws in those looking to express their individuality. Every appointment is a co-creation, where the goal is not just great hair, but something meaningful and personal. Astrology often finds its way into the process, offering another layer of inspiration.
​
Outside the salon, Cat spends time with her dog Chibi and her sphynx cat Shrimp, going to shows, shooting film, crafting, or deep in a creative rabbit hole working on her next idea. You might also find her at a coffee shop, out around San Diego, or at home recharging in goblin mode.
​
Outspoken and values-driven, she cares deeply about social justice, LGBTQIA2S+ community, and environmental impact.
​
At the core of her work is one belief: it’s not her hair, it’s yours. She acts as a guide, offering ideas, change, and professional perspective, while maintaining each client’s full autonomy. The process is collaborative, always.
