I’m Katie—a beauty professional, serial entrepreneur, and firm believer that feeling confident in your own skin can change your whole day. I love helping clients simplify their beauty routines and feel their best, whether they’re getting ready for everyday life or walking down the aisle.
As the owner of Collective Beauty, I lead a team of talented hair and makeup artists serving brides and their bridal parties throughout Charlotte.
Creating beautiful looks is our specialty; making each person feel comfortable, cared for, and confident is what makes our work so rewarding.
Beyond beauty and business, I’ve been happily married since 2008 and am a proud dog mom to two black Labs. Life is full, and I wouldn’t have it
any other way!
