WOW! This was a facial wrapped in a massage wrapped in a facial! Katie is delightful and her space is warm and relaxing. And her playlist is great. Worth every penny. read more

Had an incredible facial with Katie. It was not only incredibly relaxing, but I also left with so much information and helpful advice for taking the best care of my skin (AND loving my skin!). My face truly never felt better. read more

Katie is amazing! Her space is the coziest and most relaxing. Her approach to facials focuses on the muscles and tissue as well as what your skin needs and I always leave feeling wonderful! read more

I visited Ritual for the first time yesterday and I'm obsessed! Katie was amazing! I had my brows shaped and my first facial with her. We came up with a plan for my brows as they need a little work to become more full. Then the facial was perfect, extremely personalized for my dry skin! My skin felt so hydrated the rest of the day, even into today. I'm very excited to have found this spot for my skincare needs! read more

Ritual and Katie is really the only thing you need for your face and sanity! I've been on a long skincare journey, trying to figure out the right balance for my skin and have a fairly stressful job that really shows up in my jaw/neck/shoulders. I decided to get the Sculptural Facelift to get the two-in-one facial and massage. It was my first session with her, but I didn't want to do the First Ritual, the facial for first timers. I messaged and she said she'd adjust our time to make sure we had time for the consultation; our conversation before our session was really in-depth, we walked through what's been working and what hasn't, and even my lifestyle and diet. Katie was way more down to earth than I anticipated, and didn't push or judge. Her spot is intimate and welcoming, full of green and sun; her backroom where she does her facials is calm and dark (and she has fantastic music, not cheesy spa music). The sculptural massage was amazing; I have never felt more lifted and relaxed and could visibly see a difference for weeks! Katie uses really gently products, and my normally hyper-reactive skin was calm. If you can afford it, I HIGHLY recommend the Ritual Skincare experience!! read more

Who knew it was possible to look forward to a sugaring session! Katie is a delight, and does a fantastic job of putting you at ease and providing phenomenal services that make you leave the room feeling great about yourself. I wouldn't go to anyone else in Burlington for sugaring -- so lucky to have found her so quickly upon moving here. Highly recommend Ritual! read more

My service with Katie was the highlight of my trip. The whole vibe was calm, unhurried, and personalized. The facial massage in particular was wildly good. And it felt like 2 hours... I get facials everywhere I travel and this one was memorable. read more

I got a 70-minute (more like 90 minutes!) facial with Katie last night, and it was amazing. I'm really picky about facials and have my go-to spot, but I fell for Ritual's aesthetic and holistic approach to skincare. She did an amazing job talking me through each step and product, and the extractions were very gentle. I love how personalized and customized the entire experience was. It was not your "standard" facial where they slather on the same products from the same line. She is thoughtful about sourcing products that she truly loves, and her passion for skincare shows! I'm definitely going to make some room in my schedule (and wallet) for Ritual because I loved it so much. I also woke up GLOWING despite not sleeping well, so there's that :) read more

OMG...woke up this morning and my skin looks AMAZING! I love Katie and she does such amazing work. She is very thorough and explains everything she is doing to your skin. She takes her time and really assesses what your skin needs, not just the package you purchased. I have been going to her for years and will continue to follow her wherever she goes. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Katie has the rare combination of education, passion, talent, and dedication. She treats every client with a deep amount of care and compassion, but also with a clinical and sophisticated approach to ensure the best results.

It's rare that you get someone who is so passionate and knowledgeable yet also so naturally gifted with body work. She provides invaluable consultations, meticulously sources her products, and cares deeply about the all aspects of your health, including your skin. read more

Katie is the best! My skin is glowing right now and I have Ritual Skincare to thank From beginning to end, she delivers the most relaxing and nourishing experience-I feel so lucky to have found her. She gives a thorough analysis of what is going on with your skin and then treats accordingly. Her shares her holistic philosophies on skin and shares her knowledge. You can tell that Katie uses her extensive education and talents to intuitively and technically treat the skin. She sent me home with so much information to keep up this glow. she carries beautiful products and some supplements, too! Check her out and you'll thank me later. read more

Katie is a goddess. This is the cutest little facial spot that just truly makes you feel at home! My facial was amazing I felt so refreshed and I was literally GLOWING after finishing. I also did a brow shape and tint. One-I normally very skeptical about brows (why do people take alllll the hair) anyways she did such a good job shaping my brows and the tint was bomb. I got so many compliments and loved them!!!! Sad she injured her hand but I believe facials are able to be booked again so I am hopefully getting one soon!!! truly recommend her services, she has great knowledge and is very informative on her instagram as well! read more

I'll start by saying Katie is amazing and I always look forward to our appointments! I have been seeing Katie since 2017 and have been visiting her almost every month since for sugaring and facials. Even with moving from SOMA to Lakeside, it's definitely worth the trip and the pain of finding parking. Katie is kind, open minded and genuine. Shes fantastic at what she does and clearly shows her passion and enthusiasm in everything! I've been fortunate to have pretty healthy skin but I know with aging it's not going to last and that's ok. I figured there is no time like the present to take better care of yourself. Katie was able to guide me and teach me about the benefits of clean healthful skincare. She was able to suggest products that would work best for my skin and for that I'm forever grateful! I've always been a simple soap, water and basic lotion kind of girl. Thanks to Katie Im still able to keep a simple routine with cleaner products that have worked wonders on my skin. I get many compliments for how youthful I look . For those on the fence about contacting Katie DO IT! You won't regret it. Even if it's for a consult it's worth the time and money! I love you Katie and can't wait for SF to open up again. I'll be sure to book my appointments as soon as I'm sorry it took so long for me to write this ‍ I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner! read more

6/5 stars for Katie! She's amazing. I made an appointment for "The Ritual" Facial, and was beyond impressed. Not only was the facial super relaxing, but Katie really knows her stuff. She's very knowledgeable on skincare, and will dissect your skincare routine to figure out what's causing your skin trouble. I ended up buying several products and am so excited to use them! I highly recommend booking a facial with Katie. Not just for the relaxing time, but also so you can walk away with information on how to keep your skin healthy and glowing. read more

I got my legs sugared here for the first time and it was amazing! Katie is super nice, friendly and knowledgeable, the place was clean, easy to find and smelled good. I was a bit nervous about the sugaring being painful but it barely was. Katie did a really thorough job and I'm really pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and I'll be returning myself! read more

I have been going to Katie for about 3 years now. I started seeing her for my facials and eyebrow shaping when she was in laurel village area. She branched off this last year and found her own perfect, charming, relaxing space if her own in Hayes valley. I of course searched for her so I could follow because I had finally found someone who nailed my brows each time and gave me such great facials customized for my skin at every visit. Besides her amazing talent she is so sweet and down to earth and doesn't push unnecessary product on you. She tells you what your skin can benefit from and leaves that decision to you! I can promise you won't be disappointed with her! You will be doing your skin a favor by booking with Katie! read more

This was my first facial and I will absolutely be back! I felt so comfortable and relaxed; the environment was perfect and Katie was so kind and professional. She explained what was going on and why my skin was acting the way it was and was so thorough during the entire appointment. I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was! read more

Katie is PHENOMENAL! Her new spot is a true hidden gem in Hayes Valley. If you want a great facial and experience, see Katie. Not only is she an amazing esthetician, she's a great host. The second you walk in, she makes you feel at home. She has a great variety of refreshments available pre and post treatment. Katie truly focuses on each individual's needs and provides a unique experience. All the times I've seen her, she has done a slightly different treatment, depending on what she thinks will work best and will have the most optimal results. She's extremely knowledgeable and detailed. She really takes the time to explain her process, products, and benefits of each. I love the fact that she's always striving to learn more and is willing to share the knowledge with her clients. I couldn't ask for a better experience overall. If you're looking for someone to help improve your skin or just make you glow, see Katie! She will accomplish whatever goal you have. read more

Katie is the BEST! I have been seeing her for years. I originally found her looking for someone to do my eyebrows, and she does the best job. Always leaves the full shape of my brows in tact but just cleans everything up. I've never been much of a facial person but knowing how much studying she has done over the years, I tried one with her and of course it was amazing. Now I've done a couple and I'm hooked. Her space is wonderful. She has done such a wonderful job creating a safe haven in the city. read more

I am not usually a big fan of facials, but I will continue to come back to Katie. She is thoughtful and easy to be around and is obviously trying to tailor the experience to your needs and preferences. My skin feels amazing and you can tell she is thoughtful about the ingredients in the products she uses. I could not recommend more. Going to Ritual skincare is both a great experience for my skin and a fun relaxing experience for me. read more

Katie is FANTASTIC! She is passionate and knowledgeable about skincare. I'm so happy I was introduced to her! My first facial by Katie was on my birthday, and I felt soooo relaxed.

Katie, her facials and the little studio she's created are all incredible. I've been going to her for years now, and cannot recommend her enough! read more

Katie is fantastic!!! I came in for a sugar and it was definitely the best sugar I've ever had. Very fast and almost painless. She has a very comfortable seating room as well. read more

I have been seeing Katie about once a month for the last several months to help get my skin ready for my wedding. She is amazing. She is fun to talk to and knows an unbelievable amount about the products she uses and the plants they are made from. I love the holistic approach she takes to her work, and it shows in my skin, which has never looked better. Her space is also incredibly peaceful and each time I leave I instantly cant wait until the next time I get to come back. Don't hesitate to book a facial with Katie - you're skin will thank you! read more

Today I got my first ever Brazilian and it was amazing! Katie did such a great job, she was fast, efficient, and fun to talk to. I loved the vibe of the space, it was really comfortable with a cool attention to detail in the design. The experience was really positive and I will definitely be back, highly recommended! read more

My facial with Katie was truly enjoyable. She took the time to get to know my skin, my routine, my concerns, and then customized my facial based on that. She noted that no two facials are alike, even with the same person-- your skin gets exactly what it needs at the time of treatment. She is clearly deeply knowledgeable about skincare and all the products out there. Thanks for a great facial, Katie! read more

Katie has been taking care of my skin for almost 4 years. Her knowledge about skin, products, health and holistic care have changed my skin for the better. She is so kind, funny and caring and makes each treatment perfectly individualized. Do yourself a favor and book a facial now!! read more
