Congratulations to our Stylist of the Month for May Kate! Kate is a Stylist at our Livonia, MI salon. We wanted to ask her a few questions about her and her time at Lady Jane’s!

LJ: Favorite part about cutting hair at LJ?

Stylist: Over the past 10 years at Lady Jane’s, what I've cherished the most is the incredible people I've met and the relationships I've built. Each client has a unique story, and being part of their lives, even in a small way, has been so rewarding. It's not just about cutting hair; it's about connecting with others, sharing experiences, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued.

LJ: Favorite sports team and why?

Stylist: Hockey is totally my favorite sport! There’s always some kind of action happening on the ice, so I’m never bored. Plus, the excitement of cheering for the Wings at their games is just unbeatable—it’s such a good time!

LJ: What type of music do you listen to?

Stylist: I'm all about country like 90% of the time and am looking forward to all the concerts I’ll be attending this summer! The other 10%? Just a great mix of everything!

LJ: What hobbies do you enjoy in your free time?

Stylist: Oh gosh, where should I start? When I'm not doing hair at the shop, you can find me burning and painting hats to sell at markets—I actually started that as a little business! I also love fishing, kayaking, pilates, painting, and reading. I'm always on the move and love staying creative and busy!

LJ: Clippers or scissors and why?

Stylist: Honestly, I love using clippers way more than scissors! They’re just so much quicker and give such a smooth and clean finish!

LJ: What’s your favorite LJ product to use?

Stylist: My go-to product for styling my clients' hair is definitely Manipulator Matte Paste by Bed Head! I love how it gives that dry, carefree vibe while still looking sharp. It’s perfect for achieving that effortless yet polished look!

LJ: 10-second pitch on why LJ is the only place for a guy to get a Haircut…

Stylist: Not only do we provide amazing haircuts, but we also create a welcoming atmosphere where guys can relax and enjoy the experience. Our stylists really take the time to listen to what each client wants, ensuring they get a look that fits their style. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, so every cut is just right!

LJ: What is your motto to live by?

Stylist: Live simply, love generously, and laugh often!

LJ: What made you want to be a cosmetologist?

Stylist: The reason I became a cosmologist is pretty simple: I love being creative, I love people, and I love to talk! It's honestly the best decision I've ever made, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
