Katie is truly the jack of all trades. Everything she does, she does well if not perfectly. She's covered all my needs from wedding makeup and hair, cosmetics, permanent makeup and I'm coming back next week for a blow out! Katie is the second artist to work on my brows. I've been extremely hesitant to give it another try since the first attempt was a complete nightmare. To make a long story short...I tried to cut corners and went with a cheaper (but reputable) artist that had an opening with little wait time. I was in and out in 2 hours and ended up with the nastiest infection because I wasn't numbed long enough. I ended up in urgent care and hid from the public for a couple weeks. In total, Katie spends atleast 10 hours on you between the two sessions. She is a true perfectionist, she keeps going until we're both completely satisfied. We stopped several times to look in the mirror. And I liked that I was able to see and share my thoughts along the way, I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't like the end result. It took two years for the residue from my first permanent brow procedure to completely disappear. The mental scar lasted longer but I'm so glad I've gotten over it and finally have the brows I've always wanted. Please take my advice when it comes to your face, go with a pro. read more

All I gotta say is.. I drove a total of 14 hours (actually 28 hours total for my two appointments! AND with no AC! Thats gotta say something, right?!) to have Katie B do my Permanent Brows and I couldn't be happier! She made them so PERFECT, and squared off just the way I like them. I've gotten so many compliments already! It really helped seeing all her pics on her website/social media sites which proves she knows what she's doing. She's a perfectionist and that a really good thing when someone is literally permanently marking your face. It's not cheap - but thats not what you should want with something as important as your face for the whole world to see. I can't wait for my touch up in a couple of days! We'll put the final touches on everything & I'm super excited! Not to mention all the extra sleep I'll get ;) If you're looking for any kind of permanent makeup I highly recommend Kattie B! Also - her new shop is sooo clean, bright, nice, modern and fresh! Did I say new?! It's super cute! read more

Stylebar - I cant stop staring at my new fantastic permanent brows! I adore Katie B. such a talented sweet humble Artist. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I seriously wish I could get my hair done here everyday!! I've lived in SoCal for 6 years and had yet to find a decent hair stylist, everyone I went to was just kind of "meh", so when I heard Katie B was opening a salon I couldn't wait to book an appointment. I've been a huge fan of Katie B forever, if you have any doubts about her abilities at all just check out her before and afters on her FB fanpage. She is a hair and makeup genius! She also has an awesome makeup line that I've been using for years. Katie did a cut and style on my hair and I absolutely LOVE IT. It has been a long time since I have walked out of a salon and LOVED my new do!! I'm talking shampoo commercial bouncy flowing shiny hair LOVE lol. Not only does she have skills but she is super friendly and has great customer service as well, you can tell she really cares that her clients are happy with the final results. I also loved that she gave me great tips on how to style my hair at home and re-create the salon look. The salon itself is easy to find and the decor is super cute and modern. I highly recommend Stylebar/Katie B and I can't wait for my blowout appointment next week :))) read more

Stylebar - Shampoo commercial hair!!! Love my cut and style!! Thank you Katie B and Stylebar :)) - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Katie B did an awesome job on my permanent brows. You could tell that she's very committed to providing quality services to her clients. She was so patient and spent so much time helping me figure out what brows look best on me. I am extremely happy and glad that I went to her for my perm. brows and not anyone else. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have permanent make up done. Great job Katie! read more

I worked with Katie B before going to her for my permanent eyebrows, loved her makeup before, followed her on Instagram, and fell in love with her permanent makeup! Her Instagram photos are amazing!!!!!!!! In her photos you can tell she's very particular about symmetry, which is the reason why I completely trusted her with my permanent makeup (which lasts 3-5 years). Katie is extremely professional, probably the most professional makeup artist I've ever worked with. Her personality and personal style, make her the perfect makeup artist! It's been 8 days since my permanent makeup, and I'm completely in love with my eyebrows! I will be visiting Katie for my touch up procedure in a month, and I'm excited to catch up, chit chat, laugh, and see the final results of my eyebrows! Bottom line: Katie already has numerous bookings for 2014, BECAUSE SHE'S THAT GOOD!!!!!! read more

Words can't describe what a great professional Katie B is. I've had my permanent eyebrows and eyliner done with Katie and she has done such a wonderful job with them. She puts so much pride and effort into her work and the "after" shows how much dedication she puts into it. You will not leave her place disappointed. She is worth every dollar spent so don't go elsewhere for your permanent makeup because most likely you won't receive the same special treatment. Katie takes great care of her clients and you will feel so pampered and loved!!! read more

I highly recommend Katie B and the Stylebar for all your permanent make up needs. Don't get caught up in the pricing when you're looking to invest in something that will be permanently on your face....hence why I recommend you come to a professional who can do the job right. Like they say...you get what you pay for! I had an awesome experience at their newly opened Stylebar and Katie B is one of the best in the field who is passionate and a perfectionist in what she does. She also did the make up for my sister in law's wedding and did an impeccable job. Her before and after pictures located on her Katie B Cosmetics page are living proof and evidence of the quality of work she provides. Plus, when you know you have to book months ahead of time to schedule an appointment she is obviously doing something right! I look forward to coming back to the Stylebar again in the future and would highly recommend her to all my friends and family :) read more

Katie B is talented and is awesome at what she does. My fiance and I drove from fresno, ca just to have katie do my make up and hair for our engagment photo shoot. Her husband shaun b took our photos. They both were very attentive and kind. They are clearly professionals that knows what they are doing. I am so pleased with her work. I could not have been a happier bride to be. Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience. Her work is five stars all the way. I cannot express my graditude enough! read more

Ok ladies!! This place is a must! I havn't been able to find anyone that can blow out my crazy thick hair until yesterday! Katie B did an amazing job! We all deserve a little "me" time and this is the place to go. We are working on planning a "Girls day in" as we enjoy relaxing and getting our hair and make up done by Katie B. I highly recommend making an appointment and experiencing this style bar. Once you go in..... you'll be hooked! Thanks Katie!!!! read more
