I've had such great experiences with Katie. Her facials are incredibly calming and relaxing -- she creates such a peaceful environment that it genuinely feels like a reset for my skin and my mind. My skin always looks refreshed and glowing afterward. She has also done my makeup for me a few times, and every time it has come out absolutely beautiful. She really listens to what you want and knows how to enhance your natural features while still making you feel like yourself. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and puts a lot of attention into every detail. I always leave feeling confident and taken care of. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, and creates such a relaxing experience. read more

I cannot recommend her enough! I asked for a natural soft glam look and she absolutely nailed it. My makeup never felt heavy or "caked on" it just looked like the most beautiful, enhanced version of me. People kept asking if I was even wearing makeup because it blended so seamlessly with my natural features. She also slayed my hair. You can truly feel her passion for what she does. She's been doing this since she was a kid (we were chit chatting up a storm), and it shows in every detail of her work. Her specialty is creating that perfect balance where you honestly can't tell if it's natural beauty or makeup artistry and that is a rare talent. I have never felt more beautiful and confident. She is incredibly talented, professional, and genuinely loves what she does. If you want to look like yourself... just elevated and glowing, she is your girl. read more

I booked Katie for an in-studio makeup session a few times already and she always nails it! As someone who doesn't typically wear makeup, she makes me feel so dolled up. She's so easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. Her studio is very easy to find, but it can get busy if there's something happening at the stadium. read more

I've been coming to Katie for years. She has done my makeup for countless events, and what sets her apart is that she truly studies your face. She doesn't just have a one size fits all approach; she takes the time to understand your unique bone structure, features, and what will enhance them best. There is a significant difference when she works on my face compared to other artists. My features always look like the best version of me. On top of the makeup, her facials are pure magic. I knock out every time and by the time I'm awake, my skin is incredibly clean, glowing, and renewed. She tailors every single facial to what my skin needs on that specific day, which is why the results are always so effective. More than just a talented artist and aesthetician, she is warm, truly cares and makes you feel completely comfortable in her chair. If you're looking for someone who is professional, talented, and genuinely cares about her clients, you know what to do :) read more

I've had my makeup done by Katie a few times now and she seriously never misses. Every time I leave feeling so confident and obsessed with how everything turned out. What I love most is that Katie really listens and customizes the look to enhance your features; it always feels personal and thoughtfully done. She's also super easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable the whole time. It's like getting ready with a friend who happens to be amazing at makeup. Highly recommend booking her if you want to look and feel your best!! read more

It was so wonderful working with Katie. I was scheduled to attend a wedding. I knew that I was going to be taking photos. I wanted to look good for the photos. And Katie was the right person for making me look Fabulous. I did not look over made up. She checked in with me during the process making sure that she was doing what I was comfortable with. The foundation=perfect, the eyelashes=perfect, eye brows=perfect, liptick=perfect. I received many compliments. Katie is the person you want to go to if you want to look good and have a very relaxing experience while being made up. Ps. I went to Katie in the late AM, the wedding was not until the evening. My make up lasted. I did not have to do any touch ups. read more

We were lucky enough to book Katie last minute for an event (the day before!) and she was so gracious and accommodating. The two that she did hair and make up for were beyond happy with the results. She listened to them and gave them exactly what they had mind and made them feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skin. They could not stop talking about how great she is! Highly recommend! read more

Katie did my makeup for two of my pre-wedding festivities: my Chinese Tea Ceremony and my welcome event the day before the wedding. She absolutely nailed both looks and I received so many compliments on makeup both times. They were different looks and perfect for each occasion. Both looks lasted all day as well, coming from someone who is pretty oily. I felt so relaxed knowing that I didn't have to stress about doing my own makeup. I highly recommend Katie for your makeup needs for all your future special events! read more

Having a facial at 'YEN by Katie' was a great experience! Katie is detail oriented, patient and caring. She took the time to understand my needs and explain how to care daily for my skin. She even explained to me difference between products I am already using, their effects and why my face felt so sensitive. She is knowledgeable and gives genuine non-biased advice. I did the "YOU Facial" which is a customized facial with LED, Microcurrent, cryoglobes, & face mask add ons! My face was glowing and soft afterwards and not as dry as before. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a personalized skin care! read more

I've seen Katie now a few times over the last few months for my skin, and I have only positive things to say! It's so refreshing to meet someone who isn't trying to push a ton of products; instead, she works with what you already have and offers you suggestions for any missing part of your routine, if necessary. She's not about inundating you with a ton of unnecessary cremes/ cleansers/ etc. I also really appreciate how thoughtful and knowledgeable she is about skin care in general. She'll take the time to learn what your skin needs and what you areas you want to improve on. I've already noticed a difference with the areas of my skin that I wanted to work on, and I'm so sorry grateful Honestly, I've been to so many dermatologists over the years (I'm in my 30s), but I've never seen such an improvement before now. read more
