Get to know Katelyn!

March 11, 2026 by Elyse Tafoya 1 Comment

Katelyn is a passionate stylist who loves creating beautiful, confidence-boosting transformations for her clients. She specializes in blonding, extensions, and cutting, with a particular love for foiling, bangs, extensions, and waxing services.

A graduate of the Aveda Institute, Katelyn continues to grow her craft through ongoing training and learning new techniques. She enjoys big transformations—whether it’s a fun new color or a bold chop—and takes pride in making sure every client feels heard, beautiful, and confident when they leave her chair.

Katelyn has loved hair for as long as she can remember, starting with cutting her Barbies’ hair and later practicing on friends and family. What drew her to the industry was the ability to help people feel special while connecting through conversation and creativity.

Clients can expect a friendly, upbeat, and chatty experience in Katelyn’s chair. Her favorite part of the job is helping clients achieve a look they’ve dreamed about—sometimes for years—while making sure the process is safe and tailored to their needs.

When she’s not in the salon, Katelyn loves outdoor adventures like skiing, hiking, and rock climbing. She also enjoys traveling, bowling, and trying new food spots. She’s a proud dachshund mom to Lucy, whom she adopted from the Humane Society. Lately, she’s been loving big blowouts, beachy waves created with a crimper, and trying matcha tea at coffee shops.

Her personal style is best described as glam and classy.

    i cannot even BEGIN to tell you how pleased i am with the haircut that i rec’d from Katelyn! my hair used to be my pride and joy, but things happen; hair falls out and you learn to settle with what is left.
    when i left her chair that day, i was smiling from the inside out and it was the first time i was proud of that stuff growing out of my head, and i owe every single strand of it to her.
    she was sympathetic, but also knew exactly how to take what i had left and turn it into something so darn cute, that i was beaming like i hadn’t done for years.
    i have found my new stylist; and if anyone is looking for a change? give her a shot. i guarantee you will not be disappointed!
