Hi, I’m Katie!

Born in Dorset on the south coast of the UK, I grew up by the seaside. I still miss the waves and salty air… but being surrounded by these Alpine mountains is equally amazing.

My journey began over 20 years ago. My mum, a hairdresser herself, inspired me first — cutting friends and family’s hair in the kitchen. Which is where my passion began.

I started my training learning ever-evolving styles, creativity, the precision of cutting, colouring techniques and hair-up styles — and the joy of helping people feel relaxed, happy, and confident. Being the perfectionist I am, I kept aiming higher. I built my reputation, qualified further, and worked my way through salons across the county before joining Aveda, where I eventually became a Head Stylist and had the privilege of teaching new creatives entering the industry.

As my skills and confidence grew, I used hairdressing to fuel another passion of mine — travel. No matter where you go in the world, someone always needs a haircut.

This led me on incredible adventures: backpacking through Australia, everything from cutting hair in hostels for a few dollars, to landing a career-changing role in a luxury salons in the heart of Sydney. After a few years of Aussie life, I craved something different, so joined a luxury cruise ship in the salon, and sailed across the Caribbean and Mediterranean styling hair and meeting people from all walks of life — each journey teaching me something new and shaping who I am today.

Then came the mountains, working in a prestigious salon here in Verbier, and something just clicked. I fell in love with the mountains, the lifestyle, the changing seasons and most of all, the wonderful people in this amazing community I now call home.

And now here in Verbier, I have created my hair dream: Hair by Katie.

I’m more passionate than ever about what I do. The hair industry is always evolving — new techniques, new products, new technologies — and I genuinely believe you never stop learning. My goal is simple: to give you a warm, personalised experience tailored to your hair needs, using high-quality products and leaving you feeling confident and cared for.

Always with a smile and an understanding approach.
