Morgan
Morgan has achieved her dream of owning a sustainable, educational, high-end salon. She has developed her own educational program (Chemistry Lab Education) which inspires and creates confident successful hairdressers.
Morgan’s training began with Aveda in the mid 80’s. Soon after she joined the Toni & Guy Ambassador program; which gave her the opportunity to become a platform artist and Regional Educational Director for the Midwest. In 1999, she helped launch the New York Madison Avenue Salon advancing to an Art Director. She has also trained multiple times with companies such as, Toni&Guy London-and USA, Vidal Sassoon, Shu Uemura, Zgat, Kerastase, L’Oreal, Method Education, Fusion Methodology, Kaizen Education, Davines, Mahogany London, just to name a few. Upon returning to Michigan, Morgan created a highly successful education program for future stylists and current stylists honing their craft to master the art of hairdressing. She is excited to implement a fast-track system she created for her salon, Chemistry.
Dedicated to educating the next generation of hair stylists Morgan says “I have always situated myself to work closely with my mentors, so I am always learning! I will always be passionate to share knowledge with my peers.” Because truly successful people, help others to become successful!

“Katrina has an excellent eye for color, shape, and texture. She read my mind… and the results speak for themselves. I’m grateful that she took such great care of me from the start to finish with a wonderful touch. This was the best shampoo and scalp massage of my life!”

While in Denver, she worked at a prestigious, education based and sustainable salon. She has completed rigorous in-house education as well as attended several advanced trainings for master styling, finishing, advanced hair color, formulation and fundamentals in cutting. She is currently working through our in-house Chemistry Lab Education program. At Chemistry, she has attended Davines global education classes with Fusion Methodology created by Michael Pollsinelli and Method Education created by James Abu-Ulba.
Katrina enjoys creating a unique color and cut that is tailored to the guest in her chair. Her specialties include: curly sculptural cutting, eccentric styles, short precision cutting, and all types of creative color.
