Beauty – Milwaukee

Hello, I'm Kate! I am an independent hairdresser and owner of Confetti Studio. I've been in the hair world for about 11 years but have been an artist and creative spirit all my life. I started out at MIAD and earned a printmaking degree. Then I thought I needed a day job to support my art habit...and I enrolled at the Aveda Institute in Milwaukee. Three years later I began teaching at that same school and was hooked on cultivating memorable learning experiences. Continuing to do hair and not as much artistic practice troubled me...and I tried to find a way to combine the two in a way that gave me joy and purpose. A short year ago, I started learning more about creative and collaborative photo work. It has driven my creative component thus far and inspired me to become an independent and create Confetti Studio. In the hair studio, I strive to customize a light hearted approach to the sometimes intimidating world of hair! I try to work very hard in my craft so that your job is easy and effortless. In the art studio, I am always trying to push the envelope of what adorns our heads...bizarre imagery or sculptural hair work with unexpected materials has been my focus.
