Testimonials

Jamie Z

"I've been seeing the same stylist - Katie- for about a year and a half now.  She's wonderful in many ways.  She really takes her time to listen to what her clients want and then delivers every time."

MM

"I have been seeing Katie since she first started out.  She does the best short haircuts I've ever seen-- after seeing Katie my hair looks great for a full two months, which is really hard with short hair.  She obviously has a passion for what she does and is incredibly talented."

SARAH E

"I got the most perfect cut that I've ever received on my long, curly hair! Katie knew her stuff and you could tell how proud she was of her work. She cut my hair exactly the way I like it and even spent an extra few minutes to ensure that everything was even! I'll definitely return to have Katie work her magic again."

Megan M

"Katie has been doing a fantastic job on my hair for years, but I must say my last cut may have been the best yet.  She's a genius, and I wouldn't think of going to anyone else!"

Alessandra M

"Katie is the best hair stylist for curly hair and I'm pretty sure for other kind of hair too :)
She is always very professional and friendly. Highly recommended!!"

Carlotta N

"I love my haircut, and really felt like it was a collaboration between me and my stylist Katie, who
really listened to what I wanted and made it happen!"

Shannon M

"Katie was excellent--highly skilled with challenging curly hair. She's conscientious, warm and friendly."

Lauren L

"I was referred to Katie for my color correction (going back to my natural color). Katie got it
absolutely right! She was able to color and tone my hair to make it effortlessly match my natural ashy blonde color, not to mention she is indubitably easy to get along with. Couldn't be happier!"

Jason B

"I always go to Katie and she consistently gives the best hair cuts! I have really curly hair and it's pretty hard to find a good stylist who will cut coarse and curly hair. She never cuts off too much which I always dreaded because I didn't want to look like a poofed up tree!"

Sarah V

Katie spent an hour on my hair, which is a really basic long layered look that most other stylists
crank out in 30-40 mins. She paid acute attention to every detail, and I walked out with a fantastic
cut that has a lot of depth and layering. I also asked about possibly doing highlights or lowlights and
she gave me a lot of information on my options, and ways to add some color without having to spend
a ton of money or go in every 4 weeks for touch ups. I highly recommend
Katie.

Heidi E

"I can't speak more highly of my first experience with Katie! She did a phenomenal job coloring my dark roots to the most perfect, ideal blonde while working with pre-existing highlights and remnants of my natural hair color. Her coloring work and cut exceeded my expectations by far. Katie was a
joy to chat with and she treated me so kindly. I can't wait to go back!"

Sandra W

"I want to thank you for all the times your positivity and sparkly nature have cheered me up over the years. It's funny...before you started cutting my hair, I was always anxious that I wouldn't explain the style I wanted correctly, or that I'd feel awkward making conversation, or any number of things. After 14 (?!) years, I always looked forward to seeing you and was reassured I'd walk away feeling better than when I arrived."

Teri G

"Katie is a fabulous stylist and color expert. She was recommended to me when a stylist at another salon did a horrible job with my color. For the past 6 years I’ve been in great hands -
cut and color are the best. Katie even got me through the transition to grey hair with minimal trauma. Katie is THE BEST."

Nancy B

"Katie is fantastic and I’m grateful that she was recommended to me. I used to live in New York
City and believe she'd do fine at one of the top hair salons there. Unlike my former stylist in
Boulder, she paid attention to me and wasn’t pretentious. She’s also friendly and professional, and a joy to work with. I will miss her, but am happy that San Diego is getting a truly top notch hairstylist. Most of all, I love how my hair has looked since I went to Katie."

Liz H

"You are the best.....remember that. I appreciated your listening ear, your great talent and your
kindness all these years. Best wishes for an exciting, and friendship filled new chapter in your life! You are a very special person.... a great loss to me.... I'll truly miss you!" 

Alessandra M

"Katie is very knowledgeable, professional and it was a pleasure chatting with her while she cut my
hair- which by the way looks great. I have curly hair, and it is not always easy to find a professional
who will do a good job. Well, search no more, Katie got it right away!"

Ellen F

"I think Katie is the best hair stylist which I was looking for, for a long time. No one really listened and understood how I like my hair. Katie is really receptive to feedback and each visit she has everything written down on the last style you came in with so that you’re confident that it can be repeated but is also welcome to any changes you'd like to make. In that she’s a very good listener and fun to be around!"

Sarah V

"I started going to Katie when she first started at Twig, over a decade ago. From the start, she
was clearly an intuitive, thoughtful and skilled stylist with a heart of gold. She listens, she gets to
know you, and she makes astute and spot-on suggestions. In addition, she's a delight to talk to,
learn from and get to know. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough; treat yourself and make
her your go-to stylist."

Mimi G

"Katie E has been my stylist for almost 10 years, and I will miss her terribly. She is a GREAT stylist, and so much fun to be with. You can totally depend on getting a great look and a
thoroughly enjoyable self-care experience."

Devren H

"I've trusted Katie to cut my hair for the past 13 years. She's always done a phenomenal job whether I needed a trim or a big chop. I have fine hair and she always cut it so that it was low maintenance and looked amazing. I also always enjoyed our conversations :-)"

Yael G

"Katie is an exceptional hair stylist. She is an expert in curly hair which is not easy to conquer.
She is incredibly skilled and always knows how to manage my hair with confidence. She is
clearly so comfortable and at ease working with curls. Having someone with great training and
such a depth of experience is so valuable. Katie is the best!"

Beth G

"I have seen Katie for many, many years - she has helped me get through many life moments
and I truly appreciate her sweet personality, her expertise with my curly & thick hair, and always
being willing to help me if I wanted to try something new. We would try out new colors, new cuts, making it curly or straight - she was always up for the challenge and always did an
excellent job. I will miss her dearly - no one can compare to Katie!!"
