Katherine

Licensed Cosmetologist

Owner of The Beautiful Life XO

Upon obtaining her Cosmetology License in 2010, Katherine entered the beauty industry specializing in lashes and brows. From where it began in River North Chicago, to the Western Suburbs Katherine spent her time servicing clients and training students to perfect their skills in the art of lashes and brows.

“Lashes, Brows, and Beauty have always had a special place in my heart. The Beautiful Life XO’s Oak Park location opened in early 2020 , steps from the Green Line and has been home ever since.”

Recommendations and favorites of the trade

+ Clean lashes are EVERYTHING, especially when it comes to retention while wearing lash extensions. Keeping a lash safe, lightweight foam cleanser nearby is essential, and can provide a more youthful glow to the eye area. My go to eye cleanser is the Lash Bath Foam Cleanser, designed by lash lovers to replenish and hydrate the eye area and natural lashes.

+ Certain Growth Serums can improve the strength of the natural lashes and nourish the hair, all while providing a stable environment for lashes to grow. I love when my clients pair a growth serum with wearing lash extensions! Having a healthy natural lash allows the extensions to thrive . (Ask what serum we recommend next time you’re in studio!)

+ No two clients have the exact same natural lashes, brow texture, shape, or even bone structure. Our skin tells a story of our environment, lifestyle, health, nutrition, and more. Get to know you for you. Don’t be so hard on yourself, and remember “Enhancing your natural beauty allows you to see the world from a different prospective”.
