STAR STYLIST Catherine Chia, A Cut Above Sunway Pyramid

With over 20 years’ experience, it’s safe to say Catherine Chia is a hairdressing veteran. Eight years and counting at A Cut Above, she

continues to passionately hone her razor-sharp skills. While her favourite tools lean towards tradition, Chia is always well equipped

with the latest knowledge in fashion and trends. Having been in the hairdressing industry since she finished high school,

Chia’s commitment to the craft is nothing short of admirable. Her hairstyling advice is sagely, and transcends to other areas of life: “Do not be stubborn, and be open to new things. Change is always good.”

A Cut Above’s dedication to excellence stems from its founder Datin Winnie Loo, who remains the only Malaysian ever to receive

the prestigious World Master of the Craft title. Awarded by the Arts & Fashion Group of New York, it is a fitting recognition of her

contribution in improving industry standards.
