Hi , I'm Katie
I have been in the hairdressing industry for 20 years
and I decided to open my own salon Kreation Hair, in June 2015. 

I wanted to be able to give my clients friendly, relaxed salon experience and to help younger stylists on their journey to become successful stylists, sharing my passion and education with them.
Since October 2024, we became a Hybrid Salon, meaning that some of our stylists that trained with us have become independent stylists at Kreation, and are now their own boss. Seeing these girls reach this level makes me so proud and I love being there to coach them along the way.

I love photography, travelling, fashion & design.  Being part of the story behind creating a brand from photoshoots to fashion shows and putting together a whole new image are my favourite things to do.

Me and Hair Extensions.....
I do have a slight obsession with hair extensions...The confidence they can give is like nothing else! Making someone feel like a whole new person and creating a whole new image for them where they feel even more beautiful all the time is so rewarding.


Specialising in this area for over a decade, I have worked with every method and top brands out there.  I could never find exactly what I was looking for... Discreet hair extensions with natural movement & volume, long lasting shine that lasts for up to a year, re-useable methods with a large colour range to suit every client. So in 2016 I started my own Hair extension company, Studio Hair Extensions.  It took several years of research and trying and testing hair quality from around the world before I created our professional brand and made it available to other top salons all over Ireland.
We now have a full website with Premium Clip-Ins, V-light extensions, Tape-Extensions, I-tips, Brushes, Clips, a full product range and education programmes and support. 

Going back to education, I have always educated myself continuously throughout my whole career, travelling and researching online to keep updated with the latest products & trends. 
in 2021,  I was so honoured to be chosen to join the Kevin Murphy Education team for Ireland. I absolutely love everything about the brand.  I love going into top salons all over Ireland, sharing knowledge and styling tips and also training my own team all year round.

I also love Bridal hair & have competed in National Hair Competitions, bringing home several top place trophies.  My own wedding day was one of the most special days of my life & being able to create beautiful hairstyles for a Bride & their guests on their special day is so rewarding. 

A little about me personally - I was born in London, and lived there until I was 12 years old, I moved to Ireland with my family and absolutely love it here. I love the beach and countryside and going for walks in nature.  My husband works on both businesses with me and has supported my dreams since the beginning.  We have 2 beautiful children and 2 dogs keeping our household just as busy!

Thanks for reading if you got this far :)
