Kathryn Kavanaghs Story

Abou

Hi, I’m Kathryn — salon owner/educator, life coach in training, proud mum, shopaholic, love to laugh, love fashion, travel, and great food!

I’ve been hairdressing for over 40 years - (yes, really!). I've owned a number of salons in Liverpool over the last 30 years, finally settling 20 years ago in Woolton road salon.

It’s a place filled with good vibes, great hair, and a lot of laughter. We specialise in precision cutting, creative colour, colour correction, expert styling, and we do it all with heart.

My journey started at 15 in a Liverpool salon, and from day one I knew I didn’t just want to cut hair—I wanted to inspire people. I’ve co-owned busy salons, trained dozens of stylists (many who now own their own businesses!), and even won "Employer of the Year" while working with Liverpool Community College.

Along the way, I’ve added new chapters: I’ve trained in counselling skills and I'm currently studying life coaching to support people beyond the mirror.

Whether it’s a colour refresh, a confidence boost, or just a chat and a laugh, I’m all about helping people feel good—inside and out.

When I’m not behind the chair or coaching, you’ll probably find me booking a flight, squeezing another dress into my overflowing wardrobe, or sipping cocktails in a gorgeous restaurant.

Dedication. Expertise. Passion. Warmth.
