After moving from San Diego to Austin at the age of 21, Kathy discovered a passion that would shape her entire career. With a deep appreciation for artistry and personal expression, she found her calling in the beauty industry — and in 1984, she joined the very salon that would later become Mika Beauty Studio. It was her first and only workplace, and it quickly became her professional home.
Over the decades, Kathy immersed herself in continuous learning, refining her skills, and staying current with evolving trends and techniques. Her dedication to her craft was matched only by her commitment to her clients, many of whom have trusted her for years. Known for her calm presence and caring approach, Kathy has helped define the salon’s warm and welcoming atmosphere — not just as a place for beauty, but as a space for connection.
Through countless appointments, advanced trainings, and shared moments with her team, Kathy has grown into a true expert in her field — someone who brings both technical excellence and heart to everything she does. For her, Mika Beauty Studio isn’t just a salon. It’s family. And every client who walks through the door becomes part of that story.
Early Years
Kathy was born in sunny California and raised in the heart of San Diego. Her natural warmth and easygoing spirit come straight from the West Coast energy she grew up with.
Later, life brought her to Austin — a city she quickly fell in love with and proudly calls home.
