Kate is a Chicago area transplant, and has been in Seattle since the year of 2000. She comes to Emerson most recently from the awesome Radar Hair & Records, and has been cutting hair and transformationalizing men and women or all sorts and styles since sometime in 2001; her own hair being her first victim, to much success, fortunately!
She is a barber, and hence, specializes in men’s cuts and styles, anything ranging from high end edgy styles, to a skin fade if that is what is in order. She also did a month of advanced training with a UK based company called Toni & Guy, the leaders and originators of the whole “Rock Star Hair Style”, in England in the 70′s. She loves most doing edgy disconnected styles, layers, layers, more layers, also short styles, anything with texture, lots of dry cutting, etc.
One of her favorite tasks is helping people manage ANY difficult hair texture. Too thick, too thin/fine, come in and see what can be done!! In her spare time, Kate can most easily be found wandering about the Hill, at the Mercury, hanging out with her pet rats, and often enough has a yo-yo in hand. She was Advanced Division champion of the Pacific Northwest Regionals a few years back. Just ask and she may show you a trick or two! The high lofty ceilings at Emerson will come in handy for Shooting the Moon, incidentally! No more accidental hitting of low hanging beams….
