Hello! I'm Kayte

A little deeper

I actually started cutting hair when I was 12! My mother handed me a pair of tiny mustache scissors and said, “Here. You’d be good at this: cut your little brother’s hair.” 😂
After that I started cutting family and friends’ hair.

When I was 19 I told my friend who owned a theatre company that her students needed serious help cause their hair didn’t match the play's time period. For the next 11 years I worked backstage doing all the hair and makeup for 30+ kids per night.

I studied math and engineering in college but my goal had always been to eventually go back to school for cosmetology and have a salon in my home so that I could homeschool and still help with bringing in money. I finally got that opportunity when I was downsized from my position as an Actuarial Assistant and was able to follow my passions.  I earned my Associates Degree in Cosmetology in 2017 and my instructor’s license in 2019.  

In 2017 I got the opportunity to work with fashion designer Rachel Pollak on her runway show. 
I realized that the backstage rush felt just like home to me with all my years of theatre styling.  She liked my work and brought me into the Fashion Week world.  Since 2018 I have enjoyed working with top designers at KCFW to bring their visions to life and am now a lead stylist.

My biggest passion, however, is bridal hair.  I love working with brides and being part of their special day.  Nothing is better than making ladies feel beautiful and confident and hearing the "Oh my goodness!  I love it!" when they get to see their finished look.
I can't wait to work with YOU to make your wedding day hair or makeup dreams a reality!
