Top blonde colorist in LA!

by KimberH at Citysearch

Caitlin is amazing! After searching for “Best Blonde Colorist in LA” Caitlin’s name immediately came up. I sifted through all of the reviews, trying to find the “catch.” Aside from a couple of reviews who were probably written by pretentious fuddy duddies, I was impressed with what everyone else had to say and was dialing her number seconds later. Caitlin spent about 20 minutes on the phone with me on our first phone call, learning more about my hair type and getting to know my personality – who does that?! Caitlin does. Here’s the need to know:

1) Awesome setting: Located in 8000 Sunset Complex w/ Trader Joe’s, Crunch Gym etc. Caitlin has her own space in Salon Republic. No high saditty salon where you can feel every eye in the salon judging you from head to toe as you enter, just a really nice, relaxed, beautifully decorated space you get to call your own for a couple of hours.

2) Caitlin is super laid back and is just downright cool. If you are expecting a bobble-headed, tight-lipped, un-opinionated doormat to do your hair, then it’s possible Caitlin isn’t the girl for you. She’s real, she’s fun, she’s open-minded and can bs with the best of them.

3) Okay, okay, I’ll get to the hair. My blonde hair color was amazing. A few days after my appointment with Caitlin, I went to get my hair trimmed by another top stylist in LA and she wouldn’t stop obsessing about my hair color. I can’t count how many times she said “Your hair color is UH-mazing!” To hear someone in the same profession speak of my hair with such enthusiasm was the ultimate compliment. In addition to that, Caitlin TRULY cares about your hair, which to me, is just as equally, if not more important, than the end result.

Simply put, Caitlin is the truth!

BEST BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS IN LA!

by lnate at Citysearch

Ok- I have been looking for someone amazing to do my blonde highlights in LA for literally 4 years and finally feel as if my prayers have been answered. I went to Caitlin today after looking up "best Blonde Highlights in Los Angeles" and finding her name (along with some great reviews). To make a long story short, my hair really looks good and I am a very VERY tough critic and have tried (and really been disappointed by) a number of LA's "top" colorists. I am happy to say, that I have found my girl and will recommend her to everyone...Caitlin took her time to tell me exactly what I needed to fix the past damage, and was so incredibly thorough and thoughtful. I cant rave enough about her work and was very excited to write this review. Trust me and try her, you wont be disappointed.

WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN

by alexisgk at Citysearch

I have had blonde hair for almost all of my life and most of that time I have been searching for someone to do my hair properly. I have gone to some of LA's most notorious salons and honestly no one can compare to Caitlin's work. She is hands down the best blonde specialist. She is so patient and takes the time to listen to what you want. She spent over 7 hours fixing my brassy hair. She is so detailed in her work and is so precise. She even went through and dyed my baby hairs blonde! (which honestly makes the biggest difference!) I can't say enough good things about Caitlin and I know that I have finally found someone who gets blonde hair!

The only person I trust

by JShoemaker at Citysearch

I won't go anywhere else to get my hair done now that I have found Caitlin.

We bonded immediately and she knew right away exactly what I was looking for. She knows what works and isn't afraid to take risks with you.

She is extremely patient, spending 8 hours to fix my hair my first time in, understanding that it should be done right the first time around.

I've been to plenty of salons all over the world and will never walk into another one, unless Caitlin works there.

It's even better now that she works from home -- a much more laid back and private atmosphere.
