I'M KATERYNA.

Air Touch Expert | Hair Educator | Joico Ambassador | Founder of Colour Like A Boss 

Most people see me as a dedicated colourist, educator, and business owner, but I’m so much more than that - just like you.

My journey began with a passion for transforming hair and evolved into a mission to empower stylists and clients alike. I believe that beauty is about more than just colour: it’s about confidence, self-expression, and never settling for less than you deserve.

We don’t have to fit into boxes or follow a predetermined path. We can create our own success, break the rules, and build the careers and lives we dream of.

Join me on this journey of mastering your craft, owning your skills, and becoming the boldest version of yourself - both behind the chair and beyond it.

MY STORY

 

An Ukrainian-born, Australia-based colourist, educator, and absolute perfectionist when it comes to hair. With eight years in the industry and five years specialising in Air Touch, I’ve built a reputation for seamless, lived-in colour that turns heads. My chair is booked solid, and clients fly in from across Australia just to get that signature blend.

I didn’t just stumble into Air Touch - I hunted it down. When clients started asking about it, I went straight to the source, learning from top Russian and Ukrainian educators. I refined the technique, pushed it further, and made it my own. Now, it’s the foundation of my work and a game-changer for my clients.

Beyond the salon, I run Colour Like A Boss, where I teach hairdressers how to elevate their craft and master flawless colour. I’m also an educator for Joico and a guest educator, helping stylists level up with techniques that actually make an impact.

For me, hair isn’t just about colour - it’s about precision, design, and creating something custom for every client. I don’t do shortcuts, I don’t do guesswork, and I definitely don’t do boring. I do flawless, fashion-forward hair that speaks for itself.

If you’re ready to take your skills to the next level and own your craft - let’s go. Be a badass hairdresser with me

 

PROOF IN THE RESULTS

Clients, stylists, and students share their experiences—real transformations, real success, real impact.

Duncan Richards, National Education Manager - Joico Australia & NZ

"Wow—what an incredible training session with the amazing Kateryna Gribinyuchenko at Quarry Avenue in Sydney! Learning the Air Touch Blonding technique firsthand was a game-changer. Kateryna has an incredible way of breaking down the process so it feels totally achievable, and her passion for creating beautiful, seamless blends is truly inspiring. What I loved most was how interactive the session was—we weren’t just watching; we were encouraged to get up close, ask questions, and really get involved in the technique. Kateryna made sure everyone felt confident, giving us the skills to take straight back to the salon. We at Joico Australia are beyond excited to welcome Kateryna to our Guest Artist team, bringing her incredible technique classes to even more stylists. We can’t wait to see the impact she’ll have—this is just the beginning!

"I had the pleasure of getting my hair done by Kateryna, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!  She is truly a talented and meticulous hairdresser who takes the time to ensure perfection in every detail. I chose the Airtouch technique, and it has completely transformed my hair. Unlike traditional highlights, Airtouch creates a much softer, more seamless blend with no harsh lines, giving a natural, lived-in look that grows out beautifully. The result is effortless, dimensional color that looks stunning from every angle!  Kateryna’s expertise, patience, and attention to detail are unmatched. She explained every step of the process, making sure my hair remained healthy and vibrant. If you’re looking for a modern, low-maintenance color technique that lasts longer and looks flawless, I highly recommend Kateryna and her Airtouch magic!" 

Marina C

"Kateryna is an absolute artist! Just like me, she’s always striving for perfection - constantly learning, upgrading her skills, and investing in the latest techniques and products. The AIRtouch technique she uses is a game-changer, creating the most seamless, natural blend with soft transitions and no harsh lines. My hair looks effortlessly dimensional, fresh, and beautifully lightened - with zero damage. I trust her completely with my hair, and she never disappoints. Highly recommend!"

By Carolyn Jayun, owner of Quarry Avenue 

Kateryna came to my Sydney salon to teach my team the air touch technique and although we had some very sceptical hairstylists in the room she really put all of our concerns to rest. Air Touch can actually save you time in the salon and she showed us exactly how to do that. I've been using this technique on my clients and they absolutely love it!

I highly recommend every hairdresser to reach out to Kateryna—she’s incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and a genuinely kind person. Spending the day learning from her was an absolute pleasure, and she certainly won’t disappoint." 

 

Maria K

"I can’t thank u Kateryna enough for the incredible AirTouch you did for me! I’ve had highlights before, but this technique is on another level—so seamless, soft, and natural-looking. Unlike traditional highlights, which can sometimes leave harsh lines as they grow out, AirTouch blends beautifully with my natural hair, giving it depth and dimension without obvious regrowth. The attention to detail and precision you put into every section of my hair was amazing. The result? Effortless, luminous color that looks expensive and elegant. I’m absolutely in love with it!"

Nina B

"For the world’s best hair stylist and colourist, none beats Kateryna. You will be so happy with the results, no more searching for your best hair-makeover ever!!!"

Gracie M

"Absolutely magic! Have been seeing Kateryna for over 2 years now and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to cut and colour my hair!"

Sophia

"Honestly the best hair cut and colour I received in years ! - without exaggeration. Kateryna has done an amazing job! The whole experience was seamless. Thank you so much! Would 100% recommend to all my friends."

Alyssa

"Kateryna is not only extremely skilled and experience, but she also takes time to learn the science about the products she’s using and always put your hair condition first to best meet your hair goals. Amazing results every time, and always leave feeling happy and like a new woman!"

 

By JCS HAIR ARTISTRY 

"I first discovered Kateryna on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her incredible work. She later reached out to me to teach me the Airtouch technique, and I’m so glad I agreed. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made in my 18 years of hairdressing. This technique has perfectly complemented my style and allowed me to enhance my balayages, creating natural, seamless money pieces. It’s become my go-to for clients who want a soft, natural finish.

I highly recommend every hairdresser to reach out to Kateryna—she’s incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and a genuinely kind person. Spending the day learning from her was an absolute pleasure, and she certainly won’t disappoint."
