KatheaFounder & lead stylist
Every hair type
Straight, wavy, curly, coily.
Fine hair that goes flat, thick hair that takes an hour to dry, curls that have been cut wrong before, relaxed hair growing out — all of it gets read for what it actually is before anything is cut or coloured.
Straight and wavy hair is cut wet and checked dry. Curls and coils are cut dry, curl by curl, so nothing springs up shorter than you expected. Same room, same care, different method.
We talk first
Your routine, your patience for upkeep, and what has gone wrong before.
We look at your hair
Dry first, the way you actually wear it, before anything is decided.
You leave knowing how
Products, timing, and what to do about day three.

Opening
New studio, opening prices.
Kathea Beauty opened its doors in September 2026. While the book fills up, three things are true for every guest who comes in this season.
Before you come in
Questions we get.
Should I come with my hair washed or dry?
Come with clean, dry hair styled the way you usually wear it. It matters most for curls and coils, where Kathea needs to see your real pattern, but it helps for any texture — she can see how your hair falls and where it wants to part.
You just opened — why book with a new stylist?
Because the training is current and the chair isn't crowded. Kathea learned the methods being taught now, and she takes one guest at a time, which means longer appointments than a busy salon can give you. If a service is beyond what she should take on today, she will say so and point you somewhere else.
How far ahead should I book?
Right now, most weeks have space within a few days — one of the few advantages of a studio that just opened. Bridal is the exception; give that two months.
Do you take walk-ins?
No. One guest is in the chair at a time, so every appointment is held for a specific person and a specific length of time.
What if I want to go much lighter?
Book the consultation first. Lifting dark or previously coloured hair safely can take two or three sessions, and Kathea would rather tell you that in advance than halfway through.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel or move your appointment with at least 24 hours' notice at no cost. Inside 24 hours, half the service price is charged. Colour appointments over $200 hold a $50 deposit that comes off your total.
