hi! my name is kate! (not katherine, katie or katelyn, just kate) I am proud to be a stylist at MELTED. salon + extension bar in Franklin, TN. I got an early start in salons when I worked as a shampoo girl in my hometown in Illinois. (you’ll hear the midwest come out from time to time don’t worry) I moved to Nashville in 2018 to attend Belmont University + get my business degree in entrepreneurship. post grad led to a few years of total confusion + job hopping until I finally realized that being back in the salon was quite literally the only thing I could dream of doing! being behind the chair has been the most challenging, rewarding + FUN thing I’ve ever done + I’m so lucky to be a part of such an amazing team! 

I love creating dimension, working with your natural hair to showcase + enhance what you’ve been blessed with. my goal is to always make you feel like your best self when you leave the salon! (vague, I know, but we always work together to make sure you love your hair + make changes as our hair goals change!) 

outside the salon, I’m usually working a side job (I am very unable to sit still), listening to my friends play original country music at writers’ rounds in Nashville, wandering around target or convincing myself that I’m funny enough to do stand up comedy!
