Kat Dodson

Hi! I’m Kat. For over 7 years I’ve had the pleasure of making the beauty industry my career, and I love it! For me, staying passionate means staying ahead of the curve with trend, staying current with taking classes, and perfecting my craft.

Currently, my certifications include Balayage, Keratin, and Extensions. With many classes and hours invested in precision cutting as well, these things along with vivid colors, are all projects I love undertaking. From opportunities such as fashion shows, photoshoots for magazines, weddings, and more, nothing brings me more joy than being behind the chair with my clients and helping them to bring their unique beauty from the inside out.

We like to think we are the best hair salon in sarasota

For creative vibrant color, natural color applications, hair extensions, balayage, highlights, Brazilian blowout or just a great haircut.

I had Hailey as my hairstylist and I LOVED her and the cut she gave me! She was so fast but did an amazing job. She showed me how my hair could curl in ways I didn't know it could. I was honestly shocked after we diffused it to see all the volume I had. Also a super cute salon that felt very COVID safe. I felt well taken care of and like my hair needs were met. Thanks Hailey!!

I got my hair bleached and styled by Shay, she did AMAZING. Most people turn me away or can’t seem to get a TRUE blonde out of my natural red hair- but Shay did it amazingly and managed to still leave me with soft clean feeling hair. I’m absolutely in love with it! I also got some bangs I’ve never had enough courage to do before and they look amazing. The whole atmosphere was comfortable and all the girls worked as a team to get my out of there in a time crunch. I will definitely be back 🥰

Eden is fabulous. I have very fine, thin hair after going thru chemo several years ago. Eden knew just what to do with this fine hair...love the color and it actually looks fuller!! Hope hope I can style it the way she did. Everyone is very friendly and probably as one of their older clients I felt comfortable. Definitely recommend!

I have blue hair and was trying to decide if I wanted to go back to my natural color or continue with what I have. I met with Kat and we weighed the different options and decided to grow out what I have and continue refreshing the blue to avoid further damage. She did an AMAZING job and I couldn't be happier. The salon is adorable and everyone is so nice. If you're looking for anything from a simple haircut to full fantasy colors you should totally check them out!

Eden was great! Her color work is fantastic and I love my hair. Not only that but I loved everyone else’s hair that I saw being done too! They really know how to do color! Everyone wore masks and there was as much social distancing as possible so I felt relatively safe as well. I highly recommend them!

Linette. Was. A. Dream. I’m a long time blonde with a lot of damage and she coached me through all the things blondes should and shouldn’t do. Things I’ve never heard before, say what?! The salon was cool and in style, I was comfortable and I happened in when it was 80s day so that tells me the owner (who I didn’t meet) was super awesome to create an environment where her staff can have fun. I’ll be back, thanks Linette! Also, a perk, it’s next to BomBom cafe so you can get a yummy coffee and croissant while your color sets

Went here for my first covid haircut and the ladies here treated me so well. They have a wonderful atmosphere, so welcoming and kind. And my stylist, Eden, was amazing! I had no idea what I wanted but somehow she knew and cut my hair perfectly! I will definitely be coming back to this salon in the future

KAT DODSON is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is fire and will make you look and feel better than you can imagine. No other stylist I would ever go to other than KAT.

Hailey Hernandez was my hairdresser and i couldn’t be more happy for my results , went in with brown color hair and she gave exactly what I wanted hot fiery red color , we can call it Candy Apple it exceeded my expectations and the services was amazing and the girls were all very polite it feels like all of them have a great companionship and great work environment 🙌🏽

This was the second time of me going back to this salon and I loved it. Eden took care of me and she was great! I just walked in and they were able to accomodate my needs right away :). She gave me a suggestion on how to change my haircut to give it more volume and I absolutely love it! Thank you once again, Bottleblonde76 for the great job! 🙂

This salon and the team inside are everything. I've been bleaching my hair for years now and when the owner Sam got her hands on my locks, she managed to make me feel like a whole new person. She made my hair icier, healthier and beautiful. Although she's a big deal in the hair world (if you haven't checked out her Instagram, go check it out now!), she treats every client like a star. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable and talented and one of the best parts about her is her passion to share her knowledge with anyone wanting to learn. She is always encouraging growth in her salon and providing opportunities to keep her stylists sharp and on the front-lines of what's in. The only thing better than the talent and skills of every stylist in the salon is how wonderful each one of them is from the inside out. Bottleblonde76 is filled with stylists who are genuine, funny and kind. Every time I walk into the salon, I feel like I'm meeting up with a bunch of my girlfriends for a good time, not just for another hair appointment. I have a lot done to my hair during my appointments, so they can be long, and the whole appointment is filled with laughter, smiles and chit chat that makes them nothing but fun. At the end, I feel nothing less than fabulous and look forward to seeing all of these awesome people next time! I love my Bottleblonde babes and can't recommend them enough to anyone and everyone! And if you're looking for some gorgeous extensions, give my girl Shae a shout! SRQ extensions are just stunning and Shae will make you feel like a queen after sowing them in 😉 (she's a master seamstress, who else would you want to sow in extensions?)

The greatest hair salon that I have the pleasure of visit. My hair stylist Linette Soto did a profesional and dedicated work on my hair. She fulfilled my expectations and gave my hair the change that I wanted. I am so happy with her and I recommend her 100%. Also the service was great, there are all gentle, they are always asking if you need something.Everything that I can said about the salon is 100 % positive 😊.

I don’t have a regular place or get too involved with my hair (past what I consider regular maintenance) but I needed a haircut. My appointment was above and beyond what I expected from the experience- it was enjoyable and I actually left more enthusiastic about my hair that I’ve felt in years. My stylist, Kat, asked me questions about my hair routine and got me thinking creatively about what I really wanted. The receptionist was perfectly nice, as was the space itself. It’s colorful and funky but did not feel exclusive or intimidating the way some studios can. Kat gives a great shampoo and cut and is very authentic and non judgmental. 5 stars! 💫

Quería agradecer a todas las estilistas de este lugar que son muy atentas y preocupadas. Gracia a Linet por ayudarme con la traducción y en especial a mi estilista Hailey que es la mejor. Me encanto mi trabajo, estoy muy contenta con mi cabello. A pesar de que terminamos un poco tarde ella siempre me regalo su mejor sonrisa e hizo de mi cabello una verdadera obra de arte. Gracias a esta peluquería por existir y hacernos más bellas. A partir de ahora siempre iré ahí.

If you’re looking for a fun salon that specializes in color and uses high-quality products,this is your place! I have thin fine hair that is easily damaged and has a tendency to turn brassy so I knew I needed a salon that knows color. They do a lot of fantasy colors (fabulous works of art!) and you have to really know what you’re doing with those multi processes or you’ll ruin the Hair.My stylist is Linette and I just adore her. She gave me the most perfect brightest shiniest highlights - super happy with the outcome.The other thing I noticed is the camaraderie among the staff - everyone seems to genuinely like each other and work well together which is a testament to great management.I definitely recommend Linette and this salon – trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful, clean, safe and extremely welcoming environment! Was happy to see they take your temp before your appointment. Florida isn't known for taking the pandemic seriously. So i was very pleased with this. This was my first time there and I had Jade. Jade was a blast to talk to while she took care of me. My hair looks and feels amazing! Very happy with it. My only gripe is the price. I have never paid this much for my hair before. I went to very well known stylists in Jersey and paid prob $40-60 bucks less. But that does not upset me. Need to take into consideration that this place uses expensive products that are better for your hair. So you pay for better products. This will be the Salon I go to from now on.

I'm a male, and literally got the best haircut of my life BY FAR. Linette did an AMAZING job and I will only go to her for the rest of my life. Matter of fact, when I die I hope she will be in heaven to cut my hair.

My stylist Hailey went above and beyond!! She made sure when I left that my hair was what I went in wanting and I am SO SO SO happy with the results. The products that she used were amazing too! My hair still smells great a couple days later. Everyone else in the salon was very friendly and welcoming too which is a huge plus. I loved everything about my experience and will definitely be going back in the future. You can tell that everyone there is passionate about what they do!

I have never had any one person do my hair but I think I have found the gal! Hailey was an absolute wonder, very sweet and knowledgable and offered great advice and recommendations for my hair (which needed desperate help). The salon is so cute and colorful and I enjoyed every minute I was there. Hailey is wonderful and I couldnt have asked for a better experience! I love my hair for the first time in about forever 😍 💘 I wish I could attach a pic!

It was the most fun, relaxed, and professional experience I have ever had. I am one of those people who are scared to let ANYONE do anything to my hair but KAT was simply amazing, she listened to everything I said and did only what I ask! My visit was so wonderful I can not wait to go back! Absolutely loved it!!!

Teresa Rickman

21:41 21 Aug 20

One of the best hair experiences I have ever had! It was my first time getting a full hair coloring and didn't even know where to start. I went in with just an idea and just put my full trust in Hailey. She mixed her own colors and I couldn't be happier with the ending results! She was so polite and fun and kept me entertained and involved throughout the long 6-hour process. I can't wait to go back to get another coloring in the future. Thanks again so much!

The salon is so so cute and the stylists are all so sweet and gorgeous. Kat did my hair and she was so wonderful and after years of trying to get it styled how I want it (Julianne Hough wavy look) she is the first stylist to get it PERFECT. Had a conditioner treatment and cut and style. Im a simpleton but I am so happy with my new look and this will absolutely become my new salon!

Sam is truly an amazing artist. Her extensive international experience offers clients options that normally could only be found in larger metropolitan areas. Sarasota, FL is fortunate she chose this location to open her Bottleblonde76 salons.

My daughter has very naturally curly hair and has been growing it out for a few years in anticipation of a new hairstyle. When I booked the appt for her I requested someone who knows curly hair and how to cut/style it. Hailey was recommended (a fellow curly headed gal) and she nailed it! My daughter went in with her inspo pics and left with an ADORABLE haircut and great instruction on styling. She has never loved a haircut more (which says a lot for a 16 yr old). I was so impressed I booked with Hailey the following week and got myself a super cute cut as well!The salon aesthetic is cool and funky, and it’s fun to watch other clients getting wild vivid hair colors while you get your haircut!Will definitely be back! 💛
