Katie Nava

Senior Stylist I have had a passion for all things hair since I can remember! I can’t ever get enough of this forever evolving industry. I am obsessed with all things color! I’ve been licensed going on 6 years now. Started my journey in Michigan where I was born and raised, then headed for Texas, where I was able to finish and get my license. From there followed my husband, who joined the army, to the desert of California! Spent a few years out there, had our beautiful son, took some amazing classes, learned a lot! From there we packed our things and headed to the East Coast, which brings my story to the land of the pines and I was lucky enough to find @exhale_asalon  and this beautiful team that I work with now! As I come up on my one year mark at this salon, I can already see how much I’ve grown and how much I’ve learned and I can’t wait to see what this next year has in store…and to see how much the industry will change! My goal is to make sure every client gets out of my chair falling in love with their hair. Whether it’s creating custom balayage looks, color transformations or looking for a new haircut to better suit your needs. Certified in: Color, design cuts

It’s a nice change up in my schedule. Doing hair is more than a job to me; it is my passion, it’s a creative outlet that gives me my own place to escape to.
