Kat Nacario Silva Hair Stylist

AMAZING HAIR=KAT NACARIO at Blush in Petaluma, Sonoma County, CA.
Always nervous going to a new stylist because my hair is a BIG challenge for anyone to make look okay. My hair being normally thin, brittle. coarse. frizzy. straight, wiry in different areas of my scalp and growing in 17 different directions presents a really BIG challenge to any hair stylist.
Not so with Kat; from Day One in 2010, she took charge of the whole hair experience, anxious as I was, and gave me the best cut, color and styling I have ever had in my life. Amazing just can’t fully describe who Kat is, generous, happy, loving, precise, kind-​hearted, cutting-​edge, thoughtful and the list goes on. Most of all, she is an EXPERT hair stylist and will make you look the best you ever have! Kat also excelled above and beyond on-​site at my daughter’s wine-​country wedding.
That is why I see her every two weeks for the last three plus years because she is so worth it. Try her once and you will wonder why you ever went anywhere else, and the free parking steps away in the heart of charming, upscale Petaluma makes for a great day afterwards at the top restaurants, boutiques, bookstores, antiques all on Kentucky Street.

Kat Silva did my bridal hair, and that of my bridesmaid, for my June 4^th wedding. Based on my research beforehand and experience with her I think she’s the best option in the Petaluma area. Her prices are competitive, and we were both pleased with the results, especially my bridesmaid who’s hair looked exactly like her example picture (and how often does that happen, really?) Her boyfriend who is also a hairdresser was also there to help set our hair to make the process more efficient, and he even got us coffee from the nearby Starbucks at one point during the appointment. Awesome! Kat also cut my hair a week beforehand as I wanted to meet her and talk through what we were going to do. The haircut while basic on my request exceeded my expectations.
I knocked off one star for the following reasons: A friend of her/​her boyfriend’s showed up halfway through the bridal appointment and sat and watched because they were all going to a relay afterwards… it felt a little weird, though he was a nice and pretty quiet guy. I also feel that Kat didn’t quite get what I wanted with my hair though we discussed it beforehand and day of. I didn’t have something super specific in mind beyond having it partly up in front, parted on the side, with it falling loose and looking really thick and lush in the back (I have pretty long hair). She did all of the above, except left only a few thin tendrils loose in the back and wrapped the rest up into a loose collection of twists/​curls with a ribbon from my lace hairpiece. It was very pretty, but made me feel a bit stupid for growing my hair out so long for the wedding to then not have it really showing like I wanted. That said, the situation was at least partly my fault. By the time I realized what she was doing I felt super rushed to get back to the wedding site and didn’t tell her that it wasn’t quite right, I should have booked myself more time for the appointment in case this happened. I also was too cheap to do a full run through beforehand (though I will point out that lots of the local hairstylists offer a free run through as part of their bridal hair package, for the same price.)
Overall a great hair cut experience, and a very good bridal hair experience.

Kat put feather extensions in my daughter’s hair. Price was very reasonable. She is amazingly friendly and my daughter left very happy. We hope to use her services in the future.

I LOVE KAT! When I found her I had been in San Francisco for 3 years and gotten some really expensive, really horrendous haircuts. I got engaged and realized I was going to have to trust someone with my hair for the big day. I walked in, asked for an appointment with someone who could style my hair like my pictures and they introduced me to Kat. I got a haircut to test her out — my hair is very difficult, extra thick and wavy. I left confident in her and in the past two years have not been disappointed! I even let her chop off my hair for Locks of Love and didn’t walk out of the salon crying over the loss of 12 inches of my identity. That’s HUGE!

Kat is the one person I can say «I don’t really care what you do with it, just make it look great!» and I trust that she will! She’s done my cut and color for years! I wouldn’t go to anyone else… and it’s quite a drive from Oakland to Petaluma but so worth it!

I’ve always wanted a hair stylist that I would actually recommend a style that works for my particular features. I’ve often asked this of hair stylists and get the usual «what would YOU like done with your hair?». Not Kat! She told me exactly what would suit my face best and she was TOTALLY right. For the first time in my life… I like my hair. I am not constantly asking myself, should I cut it? leave it long? bangs? no bangs? I am content. All thanks to Kat.

Kat was the reason I used to get my hair cut at Muse, I’ve followed her to Blush. She’s an excellent stylist who keeps me looking my best. I totally trust her judgement and she has mad style.

Good cuttin
