I’m a razorcutting and healthy haircolor specialist at Creature of Habit Salon in Catskill, NY.

I create high-quality, low-maintenance hairstyles that express your ideal sense of style—without a lot of fuss.

hello!

Are you looking for a hairstylist?

Would we be a good match?

  • Who am I?

    I’m an inclusive, experienced hairstylist who works with your natural texture to create a lot of style without a lot of effort. I also love to create color that is believable, leaves your hair in great shape, and grows out easily. I have experience working with all types of hair, but specialize in shags, curly and wavy hair, modern bobs, and short cuts with a bit of an edge.

    For the past 17 years, I have been a hairstylist and salon owner in Columbus, Ohio. During that time, in addition to my work on hundreds if not thousands of clients, I’ve done extensive advanced training including master-level razorcutting at Bumble University and color classes with Wella.

    I just moved into a midcentury fixer-upper in Red Hook, so most of my spare time is currently spent on house projects, but I also love to spend time with my partner and animals, gardening, and exploring this beautiful area.

  • Is this you?

    You want to look good, without having to work too hard at it. You appreciate good quality and aesthetics, and are looking for expert advice about how to best care for your hair and create a routine that works for you.

    Do any of these seem familiar?

    — You see people with beautiful natural waves & curls and wonder how they get their hair to look like that, while yours is just kinda puffy.

    — You love short hair, but you can’t find anyone who will give it a good shape or add enough texture so that it looks right.

    — Your hair is long, and you’d like to add some style so that it looks intentional and you look good whether you wear it up or down.

    No matter what your hair length or texture is, you will walk away from my chair with a balanced, effortless look that will grow out easily while expressing your individuality.

What People Are Saying

Kathleen is an artist when it comes to hair! She works with the natural texture of your hair and layers it just right so that it falls beautifully on its own. Her cuts are super easy to style and look great even after a couple months of grow out. She is always willing to try something new and creative and makes my hair look better than I envision. I've gone through a few different styles in the past couple years and they all looked amazing thanks to her.

Kathleen is THE BEST for easy, natural, wash-and- wear style and really truly listens to her client. I am terrible at describing what I want in a haircut, and somehow she always decodes my request and produces the perfect cut. My hair is medium to long, wavy, dark brown, and she creates a slightly shaggy style that I can wear straight or wavy, up or down. Her haircuts always age well and grow out nicely, too. Kathleen is always lovely to chat with but it is a bonus that she offers quiet visits, too. Highly recommended if you are looking for an attentive, inclusive, flexible stylist.

— Hillary

Kathleen is excellent. She's very attentive and really tries to understand what you're going for so she can give you want you want! She takes notes on your color formula, any adjustments you may want next time, products you've tried, etc. I so appreciate how much thought and care she puts into her clients.
