About Me

FB_IMG_1712361713849.jpg

My name is Abbie Keating and I am a licensed Esthetician located in Tinley Park. Services I offer include luxurious and advanced facials, lash lift and tint, brow lamination, facial waxing, special occasion makeup, makeup lessons, skincare lessons, spa parties and I am Reiki Level 1 certified.

​

My whole life I've been interested in the beauty industry from the time I was 6 when I first got into my mom's makeup kit. Growing up I would read magazines, draw fashion designs, build Barbie a dreamhouse and give my friends make overs. I got my Bachelor's degree in Fashion Marketing and Management and in 2007 I entered the beauty industry working for Boots USA. I worked in corporate beauty for 6 years before deciding to get my Esthetician's license in 2014. I would love to create my own skincare line. But in the mean time I'll settle for making people feel beautiful inside and out.

​

Beauty is all around us and I'm just happy to be a part of it.
