Kathleen Collingwood

Westerville Hair Colorist

Private studio. Personalized color. Ingredient-conscious care.

Hi, I'm Kathleen — and I've spent 15 years helping women feel confident, polished, and completely themselves.

I work with women who lead full lives and want their hair to reflect that — not add to the mental load. My studio in Westerville, Ohio is a private, one-on-one space designed for women who value quality, calm, and color that works with their life rather than demanding their constant attention.

Every appointment begins with a real conversation — not a rushed glance in the mirror before we start mixing color. I want to understand your lifestyle, your maintenance comfort level, and what "beautiful hair" actually means to you before we do anything else.

My specialty is dimensional color, balayage, and seamless gray blending — techniques that create natural-looking depth and movement, grow out gracefully, and let you go longer between appointments without looking like you're overdue. I also offer blonding and gray coverage for women who prefer a more uniform finish.

Every service is tailored. Nothing here is one-size-fits-all.

A Commitment to Ingredient-Conscious Hair Care

Beautiful color should never come at the cost of your hair's health. I work exclusively with ingredient-conscious professional products that prioritize scalp health, hair integrity, and long-term performance — because what goes on your hair matters as much as the result you see.

I stay current through ongoing education, which means the techniques I use are always evolving — informed by the latest in color science, application methods, and hair health research.

When I'm not in the studio, I'm usually at home with my husband Jamie and our two Great Danes, Freya and Alfie — who, despite their size, are convinced they're lap dogs. I paint with watercolors, read more books than I finish, and will never apologize for how seriously I take OSU football season.

If you've been looking for a colorist who takes the time to truly understand your hair, your lifestyle, and what makes you feel like yourself — I'd love to meet you.
