Hi there! I’m Kate, great to meet you! I used to be the kid in school who always had the most complicated braids and as young as 14 years old I was the go-to schoolyard hairstylist. Working with hair has always relaxed me and I am always looking for new styles to try. My latest achievement is a great looking undercut and blue-black dye job on one of my friends. Now I’m blending my skill at hairstyling with my passion for writing and doing what I love.
