Caits the BEST! Been going to her for years and has always done a fantastic job, she really looks out for her clients. I live in another state now and still will only go to her.

I never want to get my hair cut by anyone else!! She is a hair wizard, and I always leave feeling so good about my hair. I trust her completely and can't recommend her enough

cait is absolutely wonderful! she took so much time to really understand what i wanted and made me feel very seen during my appointment. she is by far the BEST hairdresser in gainesville and i highly suggest seeing her.

Cait is the BEST hair stylist I’ve ever been to! Every time I leave her studio my hair looks and feels amazing! She puts so much effort and care into each individual client and I can not say enough wonderful things about her. I always feel cared for and listened to when working with Cait. She is so talented! Her color matches are spot on and her cuts always look beautiful. I have some wave and a slight curl to my hair and she always takes time to carefully dry my hair to make sure the cut works with my natural pattern and texture. My most recent hair cut has made me feel more like myself than any haircut I’ve had before. She’s wonderful! Go see her! You won’t regret it.


Sep 05, 2024

Cait gave me the exact haircut I wanted & was able to understand my vision perfectly. The space is awesome, and I enjoyed getting to talk with Cait throughout the session. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a haircut in Gainesville!


Sep 05, 2024

Cait is THE BEST! Extremely talented, versatile and communicative stylist. Easy to talk to and very kind as well. Like the reviews say, both her studio and her work are breath taking. I’ve been a client of hers for years! Expert with a straight razor for mullets/shags/alternative cuts


Sep 05, 2024

Cait is literally the best hair stylist I have ever had hands down. They are incredibly caring and skilled with what they do. I felt comfortable and trusting. Cait has a great eye for what hair style and cut suits you best. I came in looking for a pretty significant change and they exceeded all my expectations. My hair is very straight and thin and Cait helped give it texture and shape. One time, right before my appointment I had an emergency and they let me reschedule with no cancellation fee which was very sweet. I highly recommend Cait if you're looking for the best you and your hair can get!!


Sep 05, 2024

Cait was fantastic!! I've been looking for a new stylist that specializes in shag cuts, and Cait blew me away. Her space is very welcoming, she was a great conversationalist, and I am so so pleased with my haircut. Price was extremely reasonable also! I can't wait to come back 😊


Sep 05, 2024

I can’t rave enough about Cait’s phenomenal work! She’s a true artist with hair—her expertise in color correction and highlighting is pure magic. Cait crafted an amazing experience with her warm, welcoming vibe and genuine creativity, making me feel completely at ease. She transformed my hair into a masterpiece, and I can’t see myself going anywhere else for future changes. For exceptional hair transformations, Cait is my go-to stylist, and your hair will thank you if you make her yours too!

I have been pampered by Cait for many years at lots of locations and she is such a glorious blessing in so many ways. She has helped me through many different hair styles colors and treatments and I always leave her chair feeling informed on how to care for my hair and beautiful! She is a great listener and sets a wonderful vibe, her space is private and it’s really comfortable to have deep salon conversations with such a compassionate and interesting human. Very comfortable space overall. I can’t recommend her enough!

Cait always leaves me with a smile! She is pleasant, personable, professional and very skilled in her craft. I have full confidence in her, which is priceless, but she’s also affordable! I couldn’t ask for a better hair stylist!

Cait has been cutting my hair for almost 10 years now! Every time I go, it’s a wonderful time. Great communication, great energy! We’ve gone through buzzcuts to bottle blonde, and I’m always satisfied.

Cait is a very skilled and versatile stylist. Artsy cuts, color, blonde - everything she has done for me has turned out stunning. She always takes her time to understand the look I’m going for. I always leave feeling like the the vision in my head has been realized. Best hair experience I’ve ever had.

I am so happy that I found Cait! The salon environment is so unique, and I felt very comfortable the whole time. Cait went out of her way to accommodate my requests, and the 4 hours we spent today went by so quickly! I love the result of my mini shag cut and blonde color she did.


Apr 05, 2024

Love cait <3 so glad I stumbled across their Instagram for an event hosted at the salon. I wanted to cut my hair from a mullet to a pixie cut. I compiled some photos for inspiration for visual reference & they knew just what to do with those shears. It has grown out really lovely, I just booked my next appointment for the trim. Highly recommend to anyone who is in pursuits of a cute pixie cut.


Mar 05, 2024

Cait took the time to listen to me and really understand what I wanted with my hair. She was a comforting presence and made me feel right at home! So much love for Cait 🥰

I love getting my hair cut by Cait! She does an amazing job and it always grows out wonderfully. She’s the best!


Mar 05, 2024

I’ve been going to Cait since 2020 and they’ve always done the absolute best with my hair! They have great understanding of balance and texture. I’m always really happy with the turnout even if I give them a super vague explanation of what I want.


Mar 05, 2024

Cait has been styling me and my family's hair since 2020 and we would never go to anyone else! I have curly hair and have struggled for years to find someone who knew how to cut it and more importantly who listened to me. She is an artist and a vibe and I highly recommend her! Her studio itself is an aesthetic delight which amplifies the whole experience. Her prices are also super reasonable when compared to other salons.


Mar 05, 2024

Cait is so attentive and makes each haircut such a great experience!


Mar 05, 2024

I am so excited that I found Cait. She was super fun and listened and worked with me to get my hair just right!


Mar 05, 2024

I've been getting my hair cut by Cait for almost two years now and I recommend her to people on the regular. She's great at what she does, she knows how to get on the same page as you and see your vision for the haircut, and she has affordable prices. Plus she's also just super cool and great to talk with. I trust her with my mullet and my tea!!


Mar 05, 2024

Really great experience in a cool space! Cait was so warm and kind and did such a good job with my mod/mullet cut. Highly recommend to anyone looking for more of an alternative haircut.

Cait is an excellent stylist who always takes her time to make sure the cut is perfect, and always has helpful insight about how to make the cut the best for you. She's also a lovely person and a joy to spend time with while getting your hair done! 😁

Cait is incredibly passionate about her work, and an artist at that. Book her for a great hair cut and good conversation.


Feb 05, 2024

Cait is not only a most talented hair stylist but also a real, kind and down to earth person. She always makes the best conversation and cultivates a warm, comforting environment for everyone who walks through the door. I have never felt as good about my hair and about myself with any other hairstylist. Cait is the best! 🧡🧡🧡


Feb 05, 2024

Cait is super talented as a hairstylist and always makes me feel so comfortable! She always listens to what I want and makes sure throughout the haircut that I know what’s going on and makes sure that I leave with the hair I want to have. She’s also awesome to talk to and going to get your hair cut by her feels like catching up with an old friend.


Feb 05, 2024

Cait's been doing my hair for 5 years, she's the only stylist I trust with my hair. Her cuts are actually magical!


Feb 05, 2024

I LOVE going to Cait. She ensures you feel heard and comfortable before starting. I have gotten my hair cut and dyed with her and every time I walk out feeling (and looking) amazing. She takes great care of her clients and is a very genuine and welcoming person!


Feb 05, 2024

I was referred to Cait by a good friend of mine who always has stylish hair // whether long or short. I’ve really struggled to find someone I trust with my hair, especially after coming to Gainesville for college. I took a lot of time before coming to Cait. She talked me through my inspo pics, taught me about my hair, and really took the time I needed to trust a stylist before grabbing a pair of scissors. Cait was more than accommodating and made me so comfortable with losing some of my hair to finally frame my face and shape my mane!


Feb 05, 2024

She does the absolute best work with the best vibe!! I HIGHLY recommend her!!! ❤️
