From her earliest memories, Kathy has had a fascination with hair. In fact, her grade 2 report card reads, Kathy "would do well to focus on her studies and not on the little girls hair in front of her." She grew up playing hairdresser, styling all of her dolls hair, then moving on to friends hair throughout school.

After moving to Los Angeles from Canada, she pursued and fulfilled a lifelong dream of working with Paul Mitchell. With JPMS, She was a color educator, trainer and Director of education, working alongside her mentors in the beauty industry. Eternally grateful for this experience, Kathy has also worked in film and television. She's truly passionate about sharing the love of hair to her fellow stylists.

Kathy loves to share all of her geeky hair knowledge with everyone to educate you on the how's and why's of your particular hair and to ensure all your questions are answered. One of her favorite things to do is haircolor. She loves to create the perfect color for you. In her words " taking you to your NATURAL color!"
