Catherine

CATHERINE

Owner

Catherine graduated from Wilcox Tech in 1986. Over 30 years in Beauty Salons has given Catherine a lot of experience to get her where she is today.

Catherine opened Catherine & Company over 25 years ago. Catherine took this abandoned Victorian home and totally rebuilt it and created this beautiful home that’s come to be known as Catherine & Company Salon & Spa.

Catherine’s passions are coloring and highlighting and of course cutting hair. Catherine and her staff continue their training with regular classes.

Catherine is very dedicated to her employees and clients. She is a devoted wife to husband Tom and the best part of her day is being a mother to her son Thomas and daughter Mia. Catherine also loves spending time with her bull dog, Jacob, and walks at the beach.

Lori B

Lori B

Licensed Massage Therapist

I have been with Catherine and Company since 2019 as a licensed massage therapist. My enthusiasm for therapeutic touch goes all the way back to my first job as a nurse 35 years ago- and I still see its positive effects all these years later. My background allows me to approach my clients in a holistic way- utilizing deep tissue, Swedish, myofascial release, joint movement and breathing techniques to address chronic and acute conditions. Whether you are experiencing activity-related discomfort, have a need for relaxation/stress reduction, or a desire to positively impact your wellness journey I can help you to create a massage session that is right for you.

When I am not working as a nurse or massage therapist you can find me on a bike, in a kayak or hiking on a trail with family and friends.

Laura

Laura

Receptionist

My name is Laura and I’m a receptionist at Catherine and Company II in Westbrook. I love helping people, so working with the amazing stylists and clients at Catherine and Company II is such a pleasure.

I started my career as an elementary school teacher for six years, with a bachelor’s degree from Stonehill College and a Masters from Walden University. After having my daughter in 2009, I decided to stay home with her and I opened my own custom order bakery out of my house, The Boho Bakehouse.

I love living in Westbrook with my wonderful husband Patrick, my amazing children Sophie and Ryer, my adorable Havenese, Beasley and my two sweet rescue pups, Cookie and Maximus.

When Catherine told me she wanted to open a second location in Westbrook and asked me to be a part of it, I couldn’t say YES fast enough! I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful salon, where the people feel like family and the salon feels like home!

So how did I end up at Catherine and Company? My daughter and Catherine’s daughter are best friends and do everything together. When Catherine and I met we became fast friends as well and over the years that relationship has grown from friends to more like family.
