Roots has Stylists!
Katey is a red seal certified stylist with over a decade of industry experience.
I have a passion for working with all textures and hair types, but I specialize in highlighting and barbering. I attended the Aveda Institute in Winnipeg with the intention of becoming a colorist. As a teenager, I experimented with fashion colors on my own hair and loved the creative control it gave me. However, the intricate teaching style at the institute led me to discover my love for cutting. Today, I have an equal passion for both color and cutting. I would be honored to help you fall in love with your hair.
