I've been seeing Catherine for almost 2 years. She is a true gem and the best stylist I've worked with.
I'd been flopping between stylists for the past decade; none I was truly happy with. Then I found Catherine. She had recently moved from SF to Seattle and was working at another salon. At my first appointment, I knew she was the stylist I'd been looking for. She looked at all my instagram reference photos, explained the differences between photos, and asked all the right questions so she understood what I really liked and wanted.
Catherine is so talented, and super efficient. It used to take other stylists 7-8 hours in the chair to get balayage/tone+cut. With Catherine, I'm in and out in about 5 hours.
You know that feeling you get after your appointment and you're not sure you're happy with it? Or worse, having to come in the next day/week to get cut or color adjusted? I never get that feeling with Catherine. I'm 1000% happy every-time.
This year she opened her own salon and it's magical. It's got high ceilings, superb products, and is so darn pretty. I have gotten my hair cut and colored during COVID because I fully trust Catherine. It's clean and sanitized at every step. She takes the WA salon rules super seriously - I felt safer at her salon than I did at the doctor's office. Catherine, you're stuck with me. I'm never going to anyone else!
Catherine at CedarHouse was such a gem to work with. She really listened to what I was looking for and definitely delivered. I got there a little early for my cut and watched the end of her previous client's balayage, and let me tell you it was beautiful. Definitely going to her if I decide to change up my color.
The salon is so gorgeous, and she decorated it all herself. It's a mid-century modern dream, complete with all the houseplants you're pining after on your Pinterest.
I also got to meet Kit, a stylist at the salon that also assists for Catherine. He took these beautiful after photos and was so delightful.
Overall the experience felt like catching up with friends, I was comfortable and felt like they really cared about me and my time. So happy to have found such an excellent hair stylist in Seattle!
