THE URBAN MAGNOLIA

HAIR STYLIST BASED IN

LYNCHBURG, VA

HELLO BEAUTIFUL!

I’m Katie, a licensed cosmetologist, and owner of The Urban Magnolia.

I grew up in Evington, Va and graduated from Brookville High School. After high school, I continued my education through an apprenticeship program.

I have always dreamed of owning my own salon, and this gives me the opportunity to grow in the beauty industry. I specialize in blonding, lived in color and extensions, but offer a variety of services including corrective color! I love creating everyone’s dream hair, and giving my clients a safe place to come and relax and let loose. My goal as a stylist is to make every client feel beautiful, understood and appreciated.

Fun Facts About Me!

-I love spending time with my dog Moose, my boyfriend and wonderful friends!

-I enjoy being at the lake in the summer and listening to country music!

-My favorite country artists are Zach Bryan and Kameron Marlowe.

-My tattoos are a big part of my life story and my love for art.

-In my first year of business I won Platinum in the 2024 Lynchburg Small Business for Best Hair Salon!

    “Katie will always go above and beyond to make your hair dreams come true! I have been seeing Katie since she was an apprentice and always has had wonderful work! I recently decided to get 22” extensions. She is very well knowledgeable about the extensions and make sure YOU know how to take care of them and maintain them. I would highly recommend trusting her in your hair journey!”

  • Cidney Bennett

    “The best colorist I have ever been to! I like a more natural lived in look and Katie hits the mark every time! Not only is she a hair genius she makes you feel comfortable when you are in her chair! Can not recommend her enough…would give her 10 stars if I could!”

  • Alexis Miller

    “Katie is the best of the best. I knew right away she was the hair stylist for me the second I met her. She is extremely kind and caring. She really takes the time to listen to what you want and maps it out for you so you’re both on the same page. I knew what I wanted to go for with my hair and the way she asked questions about what tones and colors, & explained everything in my consultation made me feel so confident in my choice to trust her with my hair. I am so happy to have met her!”

  • Taryn Bishop

    “Katie is an amazing stylist, open to any ideas you have and tries to meet your goals. I leave happy every single time. She also did my extensions and they look and feel amazing! I have had extensions before and the method she did with me is a lot better than the kind I got done with another stylist. The method katie did doesn’t pull on my scalp and I haven’t dealt with any itching or pain. I also enjoy our chats and she treats you like not just a client but a friend. I would recommend her to anyone!”

  • Tala Auchey

    “Katie is not just talented in her work, but also a wonderful person both inside and out. I was looking for someone to fix a color correction after having a bad experience at a previous salon. Another stylist in the area recommended Katie to me, as I was told she specialized in color corrections. My first time having her as a stylist was while she was still an apprentice at a salon. Katie took the time to hear me out and we instantly connected. I have gone to her multiple times as color corrections take multiple sessions. She was very patient with me and with my hair in order to not have my hair fall out during the process. I was always happy with the results, and she always made sure what she was doing was within my budget and always double checked with me which I appreciated. After I graduated college, I moved out of state and it was truly hard to leave Katie behind. She was not only my stylist, but also became a friend to me. If you couldn’t already tell, I highly recommend her!”

  • Sarah Jenner

    “Katie is amazing! You can tell she is passionate about what she does and wants to help you achieve your hair goals. She is such a kind soul and always going to be honest! If you want someone who will make your dreams reality go with Katie!”

  • Savannah DiYorio

    “When I moved to the area, I had a really hard time finding a stylist I connected with that specialized in blonding. I found Katie and have been going to her ever since! She NEVER disappoints! Every time I leave her chair I am so happy. From the girl talk to the hair, she’s the absolute best! I highly recommend Katie and always look forward to sitting in her chair!”

  • Catherine Thomas

    “Sitting in Katie’s chair is truly one of a kind. Her personality, her dedication, and her ability to transform anyone’s hair is absolutely incredible. Being able to work with her is a privilege. I never want to leave anyone else in charge of my hair!!”

  • Nicole Steiner

    “After my roomie had several AMAZING experiences with Katie, I decided to give her a try. So thankful I found her and for the time & care she puts into my hair. Now several more girls from school go to her because her work speaks for itself. I always leave feeling so good. Well worth the money & idk what I’m going to do if I ever leave Lynchburg!”

  • Hannah Gotwals

    “Amazing experience!! First off the place is adorable, the service was excellent, and it was so reasonably priced!! I wish I had Katie earlier, she was so sweet and amazing at what she does! I highly recommend booking an appointment!”
