Based in Denver, CO, Katie specializes in doing lived-in, high-end hair color and custom cut services that not only grow out effortlessly but are designed to each client’s unique features, lifestyle, and hair goals. She’s on a mission to deliver luxury-level services to the everyday women, priding herself on maximizing her clients time and giving them a color service that's long lasting and won’t have them in the salon every 4-6 weeks. Katie has also received certifications in balayage, color, and cuts from brands like Redken, Pravana, and Aveda. Along with her work as a stylist, she is a globally recognized educator that partners with global brands and salons alike to teach, inspire, and develop the next generation of stylists. Having graduated with high honors from the Aveda Institute of Denver, she has worked under the likes of Charlie Price and apprenticed under a Vidal Sassoon Master Stylist. Additionally, her work has been seen on the editorial side during her 4 years working on Denver Fashion Week and when she co-produced and styled at The North American Hairstylist Awards.

Her persistence paid off, landing her first hairstyling role and setting her on a path to success. Today, Sarah is a celebrated hairstylist in high-fashion editorials and major Hollywood productions, including Stranger Things. Her work is recognized not just for technical precision, but for storytelling—using hair to capture character, mood, and narrative.
