Katie Ip

            As an esthetician student at Paul Mitchell the School, I have learned about skincare, makeup, and beauty treatments, aligning with the latest industry standards. My experience as a lash technician complements my ongoing esthetics education, providing a comprehensive understanding of facial aesthetics and client care. 

            Prior to entering the beauty industry, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communications and Sociology, with a minor in Strategic Media Messaging from the University at Buffalo. This educational background has been instrumental in developing effective communication skills and understanding consumer behavior, which are critical in the beauty industry. 

            My professional journey includes valuable experience working at renowned beauty retailers such as Sephora and Ulta, where I gained hands-on experience with a diverse range of beauty products and customer service excellence while learning to listen to a client's needs and introduce new products to their regimen.
