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.
