Hair & Color Analysis by Katerina

No matter the medium, Katerina has always demonstrated a passion for the creative. Her professional focus is defined by a mix of avant-garde and traditional hair design techniques. She touts significant work as a colorist, often catering to clients specifically requesting her services in color correction and Balayage. The inspired mom of two brings to Mali Salon the experience and balanced philosophy she developed earlier in her career.

Motivated to build strong designer-client relationships, Katerina honors each individual’s personal haircare demands. She specializes in color, Balayage, and haircuts for all. To round out her wide range of personalized design options, Katerina is also a Certified Color Analyst—an adjacent service that has become a hallmark of Mali Salon by further bringing out the absolute best in her clients. 

The Portland native has certainly learned a thing or two taming her own Greek mane, and is ultra-comfortable addressing the unique challenges of ethnic hair, fine/limp hair, and curly hair. Well-traveled and always on the cutting edge of style, she discovers and integrates global techniques whenever possible to inspire clients. She’s trained rigorously and holds certificates with both the Bella Institute of Cosmetology and with The Color Analysis Queen Tatum Mae, always seeking out education to discover the latest design modalities and haircare trends. 

Every product at Mali Salon is selected for outstanding quality, and Katerina routinely integrates bonding repair treatments into her color sessions. She has received additional training with Calura Color, Innersense Organic Beauty, Bumble & Bumble, Pravana, and other top haircare lines. She is certified in Cut It Kinky (professional tight curls education) as well as in Balmain hair extensions.
