Hi, I’m Katie @funcoolhair! I am passionate about razor cutting, curly cuts and care, and creative color. I strive for my chair to be a space where my clients feel empowered and heard. My goal is to collaborate with you to create hair that both fits your lifestyle and compliments your individuality. My focus is on working with your natural texture to create an effective hair care routine specialized for your hair’s needs, through styling and product knowledge. Book with me if you are ready for hair that provides both functionality and style personalized for you!

When I’m not at Romeo I’m hanging with my pups, exploring the Portland food scene, and halfway finishing multiple crafting projects.

What People Are Saying 〰️

  • “Katie is an absolute delight as a hairstylist! I so appreciate the time she puts into instructing me on how to style my cut, what products to use, and how to prioritize my hair care for both my budget and time constraints. She has also done cuts for all three of my daughters, and worked like a total boss with my wiggly four-year-old, who now has an adorable bob thanks to Katie’s talent and skill!”

  • “Katie is such a joy to work with! She made me feel comfy the minute I sat in her chair and worked with me to get the kind of haircut that I dreamed about. She even followed up to help me find the right products for my hair. Get yourself a cut with Katie, you will NOT regret it.”

  • “Katie has my complete trust & I plan on continuing to return to her for the foreseeable future. she creates a safe and fun environment for transformation and experimentation. I always feel heard and understood when communicating my ideas & needs. her passion for styling is always so fun to witness and it’s amazing to be a part of her process”

  • “Katie is such a fun and an incredible person to have as a stylist! After multiple negative experiences in salons pre-COVID, I resorted to self cuts for the last few years. After seeing the work they did for some people I know, I was sold. When first meeting Katie, she was not only kind and engaging but really took the time to hear what I wanted and needed. They answered my questions in depth and were incredibly patient. She heard my requests and CAME THROUGH. It’s been a long time since I’ve trusted a stylist and I’m SO happy that I did. My hair feels and looks great and I’m so excited for future sessions with her!”

  • “I am so happy that I found this salon and Katie! I have been searching for my curly hair stylist for a while, and I have finally found them. Katie made me feel so comfortable, and she shared lots of tips and tricks for me to help my curls pop and shine. Romeo is a beautiful airy space, very relaxing and inviting, and it has a parking lot-it was so nice to not have to search for parking. If you have curls, you should book with Katie!” — Addy

  • “Romeo is such a beautiful welcoming space and I'm so glad I found it! Katie did a refresh on my curly cut and created a gorgeous copper tone for summer. I've been recommending this salon to all my friends and I can't wait to return! Thank you so much for having me - I adore my hair and have newfound confidence after my visit” — Akela

  • “Had one of the best salon experiences here with Katie M. She made me feel so welcome and cared for and had a natural intuition for what I wanted and was looking for. I don’t trust just anyone but I was in such good hands! She listened and had great advice, took her time to really tend to me and my hair. I left feeling so good! She’s mad talented. Great energy and great conversation. Book with Katie !” — Kelsey

  • “I used to be the type of person that dreaded getting my haircut, not anymore. It feels like Katie literally cut me out of my hair, like a sculptor, she found me and made me shine. Previously getting my hair done I felt as though stylist were trying to make me look “better” or “cooler” and with Katie, it feels like she is just helping me find myself. Experiences with her are therapeutic. She offers times for quiet, which I love, and reduces my propensity to fawn rather than collaborate in my hair-cutting experience. When we do chat it is deeply authentic, warm, and EASY. 10/10 would recommend Katie!! Her skills plus her sensitivity and gifts are what I’ve always wished for in an experience. And my hair is freaking rad thanks to her!” — Tiffany

  • “I've been getting my hair done by Katie at Romeo since last Spring and she does an amazing job. I usually feel very anxious at hair salons but don't feel any of that here. Katie listens to my ideas and concerns (even though I hardly ever know the fancy hair terms for different things) and comes up with great solutions and ideas to meet my goals. 10/10 recommend!” — Laura
