Katie Sawicki

OWNER / HAIRSTYLIST

After leaving the fashion industry, Katie (22) began her hairstyling education at Niagara College, Canada. She immediately fell in love with the industry and took a strong liking to blonding and corrective colour. Early in Katie’s career she was given the opportunity to work as a colour educator for a leading colour company. This nurtured her love for education and helped her excel in the art of corrective theory and the chemistry behind colouring services.  

Katie entered the industry when the trend technique of balayage and extreme blonding were just beginning to take off. This submerged her in the challenging culture quickly and helped her excel as a stylist very early on. Katie was ranked Canada’s Top Five New Hairstylist of the year, and she has not stopped reaching for higher goals since. 

Katie has had the opportunity to be educated by the likes of Vidal Sassoon Academy, 901 Academy in West Hollywood California, and Chris Appleton. She has a perfectionist eye for detail and the knowledge to take your hair to beautiful, healthy, on trend blonde extremes. 

She has been involved in the growth and rebranding of multiple hair salons, which triggered a love to create her own brand that she can call home. Katie Elizabeth Salon opened its doors in Thorold ON March 2019. The idea behind the branding was to create a fresh, inclusive salon environment, with a California twist. She takes pride in making her clients feel welcome and bringing them the hair goals they see scrolling through social media. She never shies away from a corrective challenge, and prides herself with sourcing the highest quality products and services. 

Katie offers Cool GRL Blonding Classes and educational sessions for growing hairstylists. She believes in the importance of giving back to the hair community and takes pride in helping other stylists grow their careers. 

When Katie isn’t talking shop, you’ll find her planning for a branding expansion, creating new merchandise for the Cool GRL Brand, or spending time with loved ones & her son Campbell. Her entrepreneurial spirit is driven to create something new that Niagara has not seen before, and she cannot wait to share these future plans with her clientele and community.

This is the beginning of the KES story.
