KAT Beauty salon

Kats Salon is not just for women. If your a man see Ali for a great hair cut or style, you won’t be disappointed. He will do you right. Reasonable price to.

If I could give Kat 10 stars I would because she deserves it. Not only is she a fantastic hair colorist, cut & stylist she is just a beautiful person inside & out.
She carries a wide variety of high end styling products and shampoos at terrific prices. Much lower than anywhere I’ve ever seen, so if you’re not in the need for a cut or color but need styling products, I encourage you to check out her prices. She is very welcoming, even if she doesn’t know you.
Her salon is very clean and tidy, which is a must for my taste.

I am visiting in the area and needed a bang trim. Kat agreed to help ($ 10) and then did a meticulous job, even though she might have considered this a one-​time contact. I also appreciated that I was able to get in within 24 hours of calling.
In fact, we are in the area often and I would definitely consider going back if I need a full cut. Thanks Kat!

I went there for a haircut. It took an hour and a half to do a very simple one and I had to ask a few times for adjustments. The final result is ok but not amazing. However, Kat was very welcoming and patient.

Kat is wonderful! She is top notch and takes her time to create perfection in all services.
I was afraid to leave my previous hair stylist after having my hair chopped up to pieces by other stylists. Kat discussed a few options and we ended up with a style that I loved. She’s my go to for almost all salon services! Hair cuts, Brazilian blowout, gel mani, and regular pedi’s. :)

I have been going to Kathy for two years now. It’s almost impossible to find a hair stylist in Newport Beach that doesn’t break the bank. Kathy is affordable without compromising quality. She does a beautiful job every time. She’s a lovely person and makes the experience a relaxing and enjoyable one. She’s so friendly and takes a genuine interest in her clients. I look forward to catching up with her each time I come in. It usually takes between 3 – 4 hours to get full highlights and a trim, so my only advice would be to allow plenty of time. However, her perfectionism pays off and you’ll leave feeling beautiful:)

I’ve been here three times (twice for a cut and once for highlights) and every single time Kathy does an amazing job! I have a short angled bob, and she cuts it just the right length to fit with my face structure. She’s so precise and particular that you can tell she knows what she’s doing. Go see Kathy!!!

Kat is the best. She puts attention to detail in everything she does and gives amazing haircuts. She is affordable and always very accommodating with scheduling. Highly recommend

I went to Kat for a cut and color. Neither one is good!
–The cut is a highly stylized A-​line: boy-​short in the back, shoulder length in front. She parted my hair in the middle to cut, even though I part my hair on the side. This made the A-​line all whacked-​out.
–She also did a TERRIBLE ombré! It is a solid line of blond hair with brown hair above. I kept telling her I «don’t want a line» but she clearly didn’t know how to do an ombré. She claimed she did her daughter’s hair ombré. Poor kid!
I am pretty bummed about the bad ombré. She did the bad bleach job pretty close to the crown of my head so I need to cut it short all over to get rid of it.
–AND she uses second rate products. The bleached part of my hair smelled like fish when it was wet. SO GROSS!!! It took about 2 weeks for the smell to go away. I think most women use heavily perfumed shampoo so they might not notice, but I dont, so I noticed!
Fish hair! yuck.
–Lastly, she kept complaining to me and rolling her eyes about a woman who came in unhappy about her hair while I was there.
I will not go back and do not recommend her.

don’t go anywhere else this is as good as it gets!

Kathy is the only hair stylist I get my haircut from, I have never gotten anything less than a perfect haircut from her, you can tell she takes a lot of pride in her work, even in the mani/​pedi

I love this Salon. Kathy is very accommodating with your schedule. I can get a late appointment on Sunday evening as well. She does nails, hair cut and eye brow waxing as well. She does a very good job of all these and at very decent prices.
Her Salon is super clean too. I recommend this place to any body. She is very patient, attentive and hardworking!

Super impressed with KAT Salon! She came as a referral from a friend and after reading her glowing Unilocal reviews, I figured I had to try her out. I am super picky with my hair and she exceeded my expectations! She is a perfectionist and really takes the time. Her prices are really reasonable. Her shop is easy to find on the Peninsula (right behind Newport Brewing Co) and is very clean! She even does nails and waxing too! Two BIG thumbs up for KAT Beauty Salon!!!

Kathy is awesome! I came in with the worst nails and left feeling relaxed and looking like a girl again! Her foot massage was one of the best! I highly recommend her! Hidden jewel!

Kathy is awesome! She is sooo detailed and will work with you on fair prices– her main goal is to build a relationship with you so she does her best to make sure you are totally and completely happy! I would definitely recommend her. The trip out to Newport is totally worth it! I honestly don’t go to anyone else for waxing, pedicures, and manicures! I’ve tried other cheaper places and the customer service is just so horrible it’s not worth it so I always end up coming to Kathy to fix their mistakes!
Kat is awesome! I’ve been coming here to get mani pedis since she opened and she has consecutively done a great job every time! I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for someone to do a thorough job and really pay attention to you and not be on the phone half the time! I will continue to come here for the great service she’s really good!

Another awesome hair cut from Kat. I have been here a few times over the last few months. Each experience has been great! And each time after my hair cut, I always get tons of compliments (even days and weeks after my hair cut). Thank you, Kat for my great cut!

Kathy is AMAZING!!! She is best hair stylist I have ever had. Always cuts exactly like I ask.

I have searched and searched for a salon that is not only full service but affordable as well as a beautiful place to relax. I wanted not to have to worry about being «hustled» to buy or have extra services or products. Finally after my many years of searching I finally have found the place! Kat is amazing, she is a brilliant and talented lady. Her caring, careful attention to you is a mark of a true artist! I LOVE this wonderful salon I LOVE to go here for all the services she provides her prices are great and very reasonable for the fabulous work she does!

I do not know WHY WAS MY REVIEW FILTERED? It is totally legit. Oh well. I came here to update it. I still give her 5 stars, and I can say her Brazilian Blowout is really good too!
Here is my filtered review…:
9÷4÷2012
She got my nails done with gel polish. It looked great! She is very perfeccionist and her salon is organized and clean — with plenty of chocolates and magazines. I am planing on getting a brazilian blow out with her… I am from brazil, so if she still gets a 5 stars on that, I will be impressed :)

Just got my hair done, and it looks great. Found this salon through Dealgrind. I was desperate to find a new place. Really wanted to stay local. Kat is really awesome and talented. She spent a long time with me just because she wanted me to leave perfect. I can’t wait to go back in a week to get my nails done by her. She showed me her selection of gel polishes, she has a lot of choices. She has some really great colors, from different types of reds to fun neon colors. Also she does facials & waxing, she’s a jack of all trades. I know that I have officially found my new salon
