ABOUT
Black Pin Project
“It's all about lifting each other up and creating a space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves.”
- Kait, Owner of Black Pin Project
OWNER & LEAD HAIRSTYLIST
Hey, I’m Kait
My passion for hair styling and barbering has taken me everywhere, from fashion shows, to television broadcasts, to wedding mornings in brides kitchens’.
When I’m not working a wedding or photoshoot, I am in the Black Pin Project Studio offering colouring, cutting, barbering, extensions, and styling behind the chair.
In my fifteen years, I’ve seen beauty trends come and go. The truth is, there is no such thing as a perfect aesthetic.
I strongly believe that your hair and makeup should celebrate who you are, what makes you unique, and honestly, what makes you feel like your best self because...
Style is personal, and I'm dedicated to helping you feel most authentically you.
That’s why I started Black Pin Project, a collection of creatives and stylists that are on a mission to make beauty styling more inclusive and collaborative.
Our goal is to help you feel your best at no expense to your confidence.
This isn't just a job for us.
This is our life's work, and we pour our hearts into it at every step of the way.
So with all that said, congratulations on your engagement! We’d be honored to work with you.
Cheers! Kait
