About Katia
A senior stylist behind the chair
Katia is a senior stylist originally from Ukraine, a career spent working with hair of every kind, from first-ever children's trims to full blonde transformations.
Her story
From Ukraine to Barrhaven
Katia trained and worked as a hairstylist in Ukraine, where precision cutting and colour work are taught as a craft — an attention to detail that still shapes every appointment today. Hair has been her life's work, not a side job.
After making Ottawa home, she opened Hair by Katia in 2022: a private salon inside her Barrhaven home, created so every client could have the unhurried, one-on-one experience that busy salons rarely allow.
The salon grew the way the best small businesses do — one happy client telling another. Most new appointments still arrive by word of mouth from neighbours across Barrhaven and the wider Ottawa community.

How she works
Listen first. Cut second.
Every appointment starts with a real conversation. What do you want your hair to do? How do you style it at home? What has worked — and what hasn't? Only then does Katia pick up her scissors.
That listening shows in small promises: when someone asks for a trim, they receive a trim. Recommendations are honest, prices are transparent and tax-inclusive, and there is never pressure toward services you didn't ask for.
The result is hair that suits your life — healthy, beautiful, and easy to maintain between visits.
