Katie
Senior Stylist
Blends hair shaping, coloring and highlighting to customize a style especially for you!
Katie has been working as a stylist for the last 5 years and is an original member of the Exposed Salon crew. She has an excellent
sense of style and is always up to date on the latest trends. "I have been in the industry for 7 years and I am loving it! I love
working with people and making them feel amazing." After cosmetology school, she trained with Anna and Diana to perfect her techniques.
She also worked at MATRIX as a color educator for 2 years, where she revised her skills yet again.
Katie is the stylist in the salon who can apply hair extensions to client's hair making the hair thicker or longer depending on
their need. She also can apply fashion extensions with bold colors (e.g. blue, pink, green). Our organic protein based application is the gentlest
bond available, which is why it happens to be the latest trend in the industry. Natural and artificial extensions are both available. A consultation
and desposit are both required before the extensions can be ordered.

Katie, Katie, Katie....you are a rockstar! After being away for while from my favorite stylist, I had an appointment here on Saturday. It was like she had done my hair two weeks ago, not 18 months ago. A perfect haircut..done just as I wanted and needed..and the promise of new highlights and color in the next two weeks. It was as close to Nirvana as possible! Thanks ladies for always making me feel special!

I first came to Exposed with my friend Gwen a few years ago since she needed her hair to be trimmed and we were just walk ins. They took her right away. A few weeks later my regular salon in Palatine was moving even farther away and so I decided to try Exposed.
Katie cut my hair and it was absolutely perfect. I like to try new things without being too extreme, and she knew exactly what I wanted. After chatting she basically figure out my personality and what I like and my lifestyle and cut my hair to fit!
My grandmother also sees Katie! She is a regular there every other Thursday to get her hair touched up. My grandmother likes to try new highlights and Katie always keeps her fashionable and keeps her from having "every other old lady haircut" in the words of my grandma.
So not only can Katie cater to a 21 year olds hairstyle and coloring but she does wonders with my over 50 but under 60 grandmother as well (I don't want to put her age because well, I'm sure she'd kill me if she found out I told people!)
Every time I am in there it's a great experience, it's always very welcoming. They also are able to take me last minute, my schedule is quite hectic because now I'm a mom and I go to school.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend the place, and basically I'd say to see Katie! She's young, fun, and can accommodate anything, as long as you tell her what your ideas are. Most of the time I just tell her to do whatever she wants to my hair because she always does a fantastic job!

I LOVED this place. I've been there twice for cut and color/highlights, and I was very happy.
I suggest Katy. They are classy, but not at all snobby or Mario Triccoci-ish. They did a great job
and I am planning a return trip again!

When I moved to the area, I wanted a quality salon like the one I had back in Boston, but didn't want to have to pay the price (formerly paying approx $250 for blonde highlights, cut, style). I recommend Katie because she really listens to what's important with your hair -- lookign natural, easy to fix, being edgy, etc. She goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable at the salon and happy with your final product. I've walked out each and every time feeling 100% satisfied with my hair -- and I'm VERY particular. Not to mention it's only $130 for cut/color/style!! Defintately quality service for smaller budgets.

Here I am again, with another update.
I went in for some fashion color highlights (pink and turquoise!), a haircut, and some products I was running low on.
I got there early, and as usual, the place was hopping. I must have seen 4 or 5 people leave, all with smiles, and I think a few people winked at themselves in the mirror.....HA!
I was in the salon for a few hours-----but I knew that was going to happen, as I had bleach, color, and a cut to get. At no point in time was I sitting around waiting for someone to do something for me----I was being worked on every minute (save the few moments under the dryer that I needed for processing) and despite my difficult request, Anna, Katie, and Megan made it happen. My insane idea for color and placement came out exactly as I had pictured it. Again.
After the "big reveal" I started my product shopping. They have a very good selection of Bed Head cosmetics, and their eyebrow pencil is one of my MUST haves.
Checkout was a breeze, and my next appointment is booked.

I personally went through a life changing event and decided to spice my life with extensions. I have to applaud the ladies at Exposed because they made me look absolutely fabulous and I started to receive many compliments with my new look! Thanks to Diane, Katie, and Anna for everything! You girls rock!
