Katie

Owner/Skincare and Advanced Blemish Removal Specialist

Katie is the owner of Distinction Health and Beauty. Katie is the salon's sole skincare specialist, and she consistently enhances her expertise through various courses and training. If you need advice on which products to use or what treatments to consider, be sure to book an appointment in advance. Along with Lorraine, she is one of the few therapists in Scotland qualified to perform advanced blemish removal, helping to achieve perfect skin for everyone. Katie has worked in the beauty industry for thirteen years and came straight to work for Distinction from college. Having built up experience and a wealth of knowledge, Katie decided to follow her dreams and buy the salon she loved working in. She had already built up an excellent reputation and an ever-increasing client base, so it seemed the right direction to move in. Katie is passionate about recreating the same spa environment she was used to but continuously adding new and more advanced treatments to the treatment list. The success of the salon has well exceeded Katie’s expectations, with many clients booking appointments months in advance and travelling from all over Scotland and England to be treated by her. In her first year in business, she won the Independent Business of the Year Award in the local community and is striving for more awards and recognition for her salon and dedicated and hardworking staff. Katie’s commitment extends beyond her business achievements. She actively participates in local charity events, offering free treatments to support various causes. Her leadership has also created a nurturing work environment, where her team feels valued and motivated to deliver the best service possible. Katie believes in continuous learning and regularly attends industry conferences and workshops to stay updated with the latest trends and techniques. Her vision is to make Distinction Health and Beauty a benchmark for excellence in the beauty industry.
