I went to her for a facial and my skin has never felt or looked smoother, softer, or better. She took a detailed history of my skin care and tailored a skin care regimen specifically for me incorporating my existing products with new ones.

Katie did my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and my wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. My hair and makeup turned out absolutely beautiful, and she made the entire experience so comfortable, relaxing, and fun. She also did the makeup for my mom and mother-in-law, and they were both very pleased with how everything turned out. Katie is incredibly talented, attentive, and professional.

Sun damage is no joke, and after every vacation, Yen by Katie is my go-to for skin recovery treatments. Each visit leaves my skin looking noticeably brighter, smoother, and more refreshed, with smaller-looking pores. Best of all, my fine lines and wrinkles appear softer and far less noticeable. Katie is incredibly skilled, gentle, and professional, and she always makes the experience relaxing and comfortable. You can truly tell she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I always leave feeling confident about my skin, and I will definitely keep coming back after every trip. Highly recommend!Posted on Josephine Le2026-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Katie is the best MUA ever! Been going to her for nights out and more recently a work party throughout the past year! She's so thoughtful and sweet in how she approaches her work and builds your look with you to make sure you are comfortable! I don't wear makeup often so it's always a treat to get my makeup done by her!Posted on Amanda Perez (Panda)2026-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
Tammy H.2025-06-26Verified 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! Justine F.2025-06-25Verified Super fun working Katie! She is so kind and always leaves a great energy! Love her works so make sure you book that appointment! 100% trustworthy! Bella B.2025-06-25Verified Katie is hands down my go-to girl for anything beauty related!! She's done my makeup multiple times now for different occasions and single time I see her, I leave feeling happier, more confident, and completely taken care of. Her professionalism is unmatched and she has an incredible ability to personalize each look to my style, outfit, and occasion perfectly. She listens, gives great suggestions, and somehow always knows exactly what I need , even when I don't know!! Her attention to detail, creativity, and calm, friendly energy make the whole experience such a pleasure and joy to work with. Highly recommend Katie if you're looking for someone who's not only skilled, but genuinely passionate about making you look and feel your best. :-) Kristine N.2025-06-25Verified I highly recommend booking your facial with Katie! I got the reset facial and it was super relaxing and comforting. My skin was extremely hydrated and glowy afterwards! I would definitely book with Katie again :) Kathy H.2025-06-24Verified 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!! Allison L.2025-06-24Verified Whenever I have any events, Katie is my go to girl for makeup. I never know what look to go for, but after I show her my outfit she always knows what will work best. She has an eye for these kind of things and I always walk out of her chair feeling confident. I definitely recommend her for all your facial and makeup needs! Nevine S.2025-06-12Verified 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!
