Sam Kate McGowan

Sam Kate McGowan works as a stylist at Verde Salon, specializing in color and cuts, and has worked at Verde for the past four years. Her specialties are dimensional highlights, balayage and grey blending, and she also works on hair extensions, priced separately from color and cuts. She is listed as Great Lengths Extension Certified and works on Great Lengths and K-Tips extensions as part of the extension team.

She focuses on enhancing natural color and texture with low-maintenance results that grow out smoothly. Major changes such as grey blending may take multiple appointments. She creates lived-in color, including sun-kissed dimension in blondes, and works with grey hair. Clients who want color to enhance their existing hair, or a haircut that is easy to style at home and suits their natural texture and face shape, are a good fit. Vivid colors, edgy cuts or extreme transformations in a single session are less suited to her work.
