Kate Leone

Thank you Kate for saving my hair! My friend Carla Lim had referred me to her and she did such an amazing job! Came in with long, dried, brassy blond hair and came out with beautiful short brown highlighted hair and felt like a new woman! It’s hard for me to find a stylist I can trust so for her to gain that is a big plus for me. I told her to work her magic and she did exactly that!

Kate is amazing at what she does! She did my hair and make up for my friend’s wedding and I could not have been happier… Thank you Kate!!!

Kate did an AMAZING job on make up for my friend’s wedding! She did the entire bridal party plus the bride’s mom and sisters and everyone looked beautiful! She asked us what we wanted and I decided to go for a more dramatic look since I don’t usually do heavy make up and thought what better time to try it then when there is a make up pro who can do it for you! All of our make up lasted through the entire day and night, through tears and lots of dancing! It was a very fun experience and I highly recommend Kate who is professional, friendly, and very talented!

Amazing! Her end result for hair/​makeup was fantastic. I’m so glad that I was able to find her on Unilocal!She’s so easy going and makes you feel really comfortable, while being professional. I am so glad I got to meet her.

She’s the best!!! I don’t trust anyone else!

I came to Kate for my make up and hair for my prom. At first I was a bit nervous because the last time i went to a professional for hair and makeup I wasn’t too impressed. But Kate made me feel really comfortable and I trusted her opinion to do what she wanted. I showed her a picture of the hairstyle I wanted, not only did it come out perfect but it looked even better then the picture I showed her! Not only did she do what i asked for but 10x better. She made me feel beautiful (: the make up was natural and flawless. Not gonna lie, but my hair was the best one at prom (; don’t believe me? Try for yourself! I’ll even post pics of my hair and make up to show you how amazing she made me look.

I went to her place 10 mins early for my appointment coz I was nervous since this was my first time to hire a professional to do my hair and make-​up. I didn’t know any new trends for hair, so I told her let my hair down. She did that and more, and i was impressed. My make-​up also looked natural and I loved it!
She was a fabulous make up artist! Prompt and easy to communicate with, I got such a great service; very quick and efficient. She did a excellent job overall and was so accommodating with all my requests. She made me feel beautiful.
I would definitely hire her again! I highly recommend her and to think i found her through Unilocal

Kate has been doing my hair for over a year now and I won’t go anywhere else. She’s decently priced, located close by, and always does an awesome job. I get complimented with each do.
I even started take my daughter to her to get her hair done. As a matter of fact, I’m taking the boyfriend to her today for the first time in hopes that he will love her work just as much!

I found Kate online via her Craigslist ad for a bridal hairstylist and makeup artist for my sister’s wedding in June 2011. Her prices were reasonable and her personality was friendly so my sister the bride and I (loyal maid of honor) scheduled trial sessions for hair and makeup in her salon. She is very attentive to what you want and good at what she does. We were impressed with our trial results and booked her for my sister’s big day. She arrived at our home with all makeup and hair tools in tow. She did my sister’s hair and makeup beautifully for her wedding day. My other sister and I also had great updos that held up well throughout the night.
I liked her so much as a hairstylist that I decided to go to her for my regular hair maintenance, which for my thick curly mane, is no easy task. My sister who got married last year also continues to go to her. Kate first did a dark chocolate color that I requested and loved, and gave me a good cut for my kind of hair. The next time I went I requested highlights and they were AMAZING. Not brassy, not trashy looking, not too suble… but perfect. I got so many compliments on them and they continued to stay fresh looking months later (i.e. no fading, turning red, etc.) Once I got roots growing out, I went back to re-​do my highlights last weekend and my results were again amazing. She also managed to get my very curly hair pin straight after blowdrying and flat ironing it. It is a long process after base color, conditioning treatment, highlights, cut then blowdrying/​flat ironing (4+ hours) but the results are well worth it as my hair came out fabulously!
The salon she works in is cute, clean and inviting. Nothing pretentions or inadequate about it. Kate is very personable, friendly, down-​to-​earth and professional. She’ll get you what you want and at very reasonable prices. She definitely knows what she is doing. She is increasingly in high demand though so she operates better by text message than phone calls.
I have recommended her to friends for their regular hair sessions as well as to friends who are getting married since Kate is an excellent choice for hair and makeup for your big day.

Kate is the only one I trust with my hair! Every time I go I am more please then the last time and she makes the whole experience great. She always works with my busy schedule to fit me in for whatever I need. Kate recently did the hair and makeup for my wedding. We all know how difficult it is to please a large group of bridesmaids with different styles but everyone loved how they looked and wanted Kate’s info so they could use her as well.

Kate saved my life (literally), while I was getting my hair done for a friend’s wedding. I was in a panic trying to find a last minute hair stylist who had experience with up-do’s. I was running late due to traffic and she was really understanding about it which was very sweet of her. I wasn’t feeling well that day and I was a bride-​maid for a friend’s wedding so as Kate was working wonders on me, my body wasn’t.
Long story short, Kate saved my life. She was very sweet (like a mother), seated me in the back and grabbed me water while I was on the verge of passing out. It wasn’t fun and quite embarrassing on my behalf but she made it very easy to stay calm since I’ve never had anything like that happen to me before. Nonetheless, she was very caring about my illness. And on top of that, she made my hair look beautiful! It was exactly how I wanted.
Anyway, If you’re looking for a fantastic stylist who isn’t only a stylist but comes off as a friend. you’ve gotta see Kate, you won’t be disappointed. THANK YOU, KATE!

Tried Kate for the first time this past weekend, for my 30^th bday. I did not do a trial before my big party, i just trusted the reviews on Unilocal,and I’m glad I did it. I’m very picky with my eye make up and she did a great job! My hair was perfect too! Love her and her assistant, they made me feel very comfortable and relaxed on a very hectic day. She was very accessible and responded to all my email questions right away.

Finally, i found someone great in the area! Kate is awesome, she’s very good with what she does. She’s a hip mom too and she understands the needs of women. She does not only try to do what you ask her to do but she also gives suggestions on what she thinks will be perfect for you. Thanks Kate and I’ll see you again!

Kate is awesome. Not only does she do great hair and make up, she is also professional, fairly priced and super easy to get along with. Kate did my hair trials with me before my overseas wedding and then my hair and make up for my reception here. She was always quick to reply to my emails, and helped me find the perfect hairstyle.
Then, literally two days before the reception, I asked her to also do my mom’s hair and my sister’s hair and make up as well, she said no problem and simply brought along an assistant and make us all look fantastic in no time at all.
We were all thrilled with her work, and I would highly recommend her to other brides looking for someone who will make them look fantastic while also not adding to wedding stress. There’s really nothing better for a stressed out bride than someone who is laid back, professional and super talented. Thanks Kate!

I have gone to many hairstylists and salons searching for the perfect location and stylist who can give me a fantastic cut that last and that wont break the bank… Kate is definitely it! i love my cuts every time and she did my color for the first time last week and its fabulous! In the past I’ve paid so much in hopes of achieving the color i wanted but it never came out quite right. they always gave some lame excuse of why it couldn’t be done but Kate delivered it. I feel like Rhianna or the little mermaid with my bright red hair lol. and the price was great! her colors and cuts include blowdry which is always a plus in my books. Kate thanks so much for your great work! I’m definitely sticking around. You’ve answered my prayers =)

Oh Kate, you saved me… she turned my hair don’t into a hair do.
I went to Kate based on her Unilocal reviews and proximity to my work. I called her to see if we could talk and I could get her vibe via phone. I was pleased with her experience based on her questions/​answers and we set an appointment for me to see her within 24 hours.
Met Kate, she assessed my hair and we decided on a cut that would both restyle the previous and please my style and daily time available to prep during my morning routine.
I was pleased and happy to hold my head up with the style done by Kate. I receive compliments from friends and family who have seen previous cuts on me on how well the hairstyle suits me.
Reasonably priced, very well experienced and great personality, who could ask for more. Her number is my phone to stay.
I believe she recently moved salons within 2 miles, no doubt I will follow.

I was referred to Kate by a friend of a friend, I was kind of nervous going to someone new since I’m very specific and picky. Kate was so welcoming, kind and articulate. Talking me through all the processes and answering all my questions willing. Her positive energy is so refreshing! She put in my weave and styled it amazingly! Even went through extra work to wash my new hair which my last hair dresser didn’t do. No one can tell I have extensions and are have said that it’s blended so well you can’t even tell! which is a Huge deal to me!!! There’s nothing worse then a bad weave! Thanks Kate!!! :)

Let me start by saying that I had the same hair dresser for 15 years. I know what i want, and am usually afraid to change my hair style due to previous mishaps. I decided to go see Kate and I’m absolutely thrilled with my new hair style. I showed her a picture of the look I wanted. She made it my own added some highlights that look very natural and my hair was not damaged at all in the process. If you need someone that takes your satisfaction to heart Kate is your girl. Prices are very reasonable. I walked out a loyal customer and will return for more.

This woman knows how tame the lion that is my frizzy hair, let me tell ya. Even in damp wet day, my hair stayed straight until I wash my hair! No hair dresser I’ve been to has been able to do that.
She also did the hair at my wedding, and we all loved it! I don’t have a photo yet, but when I get them, I’ll be sure to post some up.
Her price is fair too. Kate. I’m keeping ya around!

I gotta say she’s is my most fav hairstylist. She listens well as to what I’m looking for and what my needs are and she somehow gets it. I’m amazed at how she can envision what I see in my head and can pull it off with my shoddy explanations. She also does a beautiful job at doing makeup for weddings, photo shoots or for any event. I’m still trying to find an excuse for her to give me a mini makeover. Her prices are incredibly reasonable considering her work is comparable to hairstylists who are with the upscale shops in Beverly Hills or anywhere else. I always try to bring as many people as I can to her. Everyone I have referred her to, all have loved the end result. I used to have a fear of going to hair salons/​hairstylists because of past experiences but now I can’t see myself going anywhere else anymore.
