Kathy Michaud-Rubino, owner of Kasali Hair Studio, had a terrible experience with a hairdresser when she was a child. Far from putting her off scissors for life, it made her into the excellent hair professional she is today. “I always had a pixie cut but I grew my hair out and when I was 12, I went to get a shaggy cut. I was so excited,” she recalls.
It didn’t end well though. “The hairdresser cut everything all off so I had my pixie cut again. I have never been to a hairdresser since!”
Instead Kathy learned to cut her own hair, then her family’s, then her high school friend’s, and before she knew it, she had found her calling. "Atthe age six, I got into very big trouble for cutting my older sisters doll collection. I remembering thinking they all needed a makeover,” remembers Kathy. “Then there was this time my father was addressing a large audience about equal rights and pay for women (way back in the late 70s) and he had said he had two daughters; one wants to be a lawyer and the other a hairdresser. That was me. I guess the writing has always been on the wall.”
