I had the hybrid lashes done with Kat, and I absolutely love them. I was a bit nervous going in just because it's a long process, and I'm allergic/sensitive to a bunch of things but it was easy. Bring a pod cast and enjoy the relaxation and walk out with fluffy new lashes! read more

Kat is a lash goddess. It is amazing how great my lashes look after a lift and tint with her. It is the best way to fake looking awake that I know of! The online booking system is really easy to use and Kat's studio is super cute and very clean. Kat is a sweetheart and a true professional. read more

I got my first lash lift ever from Kat around 5 months ago and I've been a regular client since! Kat is super professional, very nice, and very good at her job. My eyelashes look great and they've really upped my make up game! I'm never going back to eyelash curlers again. read more

I love Kat! She is super gentle and careful and makes you feel at ease. He space is clean and comfortable and she has all the latest equipment and products you want. She explains everything she is doing before she does it, that means a lot to me. She is excellent at what she does and I love my brows! Go see her! read more

I had my first app with Kat a few days ago to get a Keratin lash lift & wax/tint my eyebrows and I loved it! I love the results of both my lash lift and eyebrow tint, I loved how both services enhanced natural beauty. Kat is very knowledgeable, she was able to answer any questions I had, and educate me about each service. I will definitely be coming back to get these services done again. I would forsure refer anyone to see Kat for any of her services. 10/10 overall experience :) read more

All around perfect experience getting my brows waxed by Kat. I'm usually nervous trying a new place, but all Kat's work looked beautiful and my results were no different. When you book your appointment everything you need to know (location, policies, price etc.) is all detailed clearly. Kat was awesome to work with and everything was covid safe. Highly recommend! read more

I just had my third lash lift with Kat! She recently moved into her own studio and does a great job of meticulously making sure each lash is in the right place. She also couples the lash lift with a keratin treatment to keep your lashes strong and healthy afterwards. Pro Tip: If your lashes are on the shorter side like mine, but you don't want to commit to extensions, Kat sells a lash growth serum (GrandeLASH-MD) at a discount if you purchase it with a service. My lashes naturally grow straight so using the serum along with the lash lift has been the perfect combination for me - without having to deal with the cost and maintenance of eyelash extensions. read more

Loving my keratin lash lift. It's a great alternative to falsies and creates a nice natural look. Kat did a fantastic job and was friendly, efficient and professional. Definitely going to make it regular! read more

Kat is the best, hands down! Never in my life have I been comfortable without makeup and now I feel like I don't even need it. She is a goddess who helps all of her clients shine. read more

I've been getting my eyebrows waxed with Kat for two years now. I also got an eyelash perm once for a trip and got amazing results. Before finding her I used to go to the Brow Bar and would usually get different results every time and was never fully satisfied. However, after finding Kat I have never looked back. Kat is a perfectionist and a true artist, I've never left her studio feeling less than satisfied. Aside from her extreme attention to detail, she is kind, welcoming, and accommodating with her clients. The appointment system that she has is perfect because when you get there she is already waiting for you. It is also worth mentioning that the studio is impeccably clean and organized. I'll be her client for as long as I live in the area. read more

Kat is amazing, she really is a brow wizard!! I followed her from her previous location, which I found on yelp. After searching through 100s of studios with photos posted of girls having those super "surprised" eyebrows I finally came along Kat's profile/reviews. You might ask...what made me choose her? Great question. The photos posted had more of that natural "real" look, no matter the service/photo posted I felt confident she was gonna nail what I was looking for...and she did. I've been coming to Kat for almost a year now, she wax's/trims/tints my brows and kills it every time. As far as her new location...SUPER easy to find if you have google maps. Honestly I love her new studio, it's more intimate and relaxing...just what you need when your hair is getting ripped from your body ha ha. Do your brows/eyelashes a favor and go see Kat!!! (Or whatever hair removal service you need) read more

I had my lashes lifted by Kat twice so far, and it has been a pleasure every time. She is gentle & talented. The first time I did it, she walked me through all the steps while she was working. She has a very soothing vibe. The result is flawless! I can go a at least two months with naturally curly lashes. Highly recommended. read more

Kat regularly does my lash & brow tinting, and it's swoon-worthy every time. I am pretty fair-haired, but with the tinting my eyes and eyebrows look "done" even rolling right out of bed. Adding mascara to my tinted lashes results in a beautiful, dramatic, voluminous eyelash extension look that I love. I used to go to Brow Bar, but Kat's impeccable attention to detail leaves me looking flawless in a way that no visit to the Brow Bar ever achieved. I love the actual experience, too - Kat makes it so comfortable that it feels like you're gal pals catching up over brunch. (At Brow Bar I would wait awkwardly/blindly, propped on a stool while the associates chatted with each other). Kat also explains each step as she performs it so that it's easy to really relax. Her services and attention feel truly nurturing, like a great act of self-love. Logistically speaking, parking is a breeze, and the studio space is beautiful, hyper-clean, and serene. Kat's is also one of the safest out there these days: her space accommodates one client at a time, and she is quick to open the doors for you when you arrive - you'll only have to make contact with the bed. Payment (and tipping) are touchless as well if you've saved your payment information to your online account. And Kat of course wears a mask and sanitizes her equipment between each appointment, as she has always been required to do. Highly, highly recommend Kat for any and all goddess needs. :) read more

First Keratin Lash Lift and it won't be the last. Kat is super professional, and she tells you what she is doing while she is doing it which is a big deal because you basically spend the whole time with your eyes closed. I am super impressed with the result considering I curl my eyelashes everyday -- I have probably spent hundreds on premium eyelash curler -- Kevyn Aucoin, Shiseido, Shu--- every single one damages your lashes. This one is such a time saver AND it looks soo good. Next time, I will ask for an even more dramatic look cause I am a lashaholic--- there are no downsides to doing this--seriously try it. My lashes reached the top of my lid without mascara! I cannot rave enough about how awesome I look. Thanks Kat. Oh ALSO my brows look great! Kat did a great job shaping and waxing -- and I have had nightmares of a wax where it took skin from my lid -- so super important you go somewhere good. read more

I have been using an eyelash curler every day since I was in middle school and Santa put one in my Christmas stocking! That's about 44 years of eyelash curling, or more than 16,000 crimps. In one 45-minute visit, Kat undid that habit. Thanks to my keratin lash lift and tint, I now have lashes that can be seen through my glasses without mascara or crimping! Kat has a calm, kind, professional presence and I'll be going back. read more

I had a great experience with Kat. It was my first time to have lash tint & brow laminate. I would definitely do that again, the results were amazing and long lasting, greater than 6 weeks for me. It's expensive though, so I might reserve for special occasions or mood boost once in a while. On top of that, she was such a nice person to talk to. Very pleasant experience. Try it out! read more

I love Kat!! Been going to her for a couple years now. Always satisfied with her work. Eyebrows waxed + tinted; chef's kisses! Brazilian wax are a must. Great conversations all the time. Kat has become more than just my wax fairy; a friend indeed. read more

Best eyelash lift and tint I've ever received. I have blond eyelashes and the results look very natural. I appreciate that Kat discussed with me what tint and look I was hoping for. The process was fairly quick and painless. I will be returning. read more

Where do I even begin?! I actually found Kat through Instagram and people tagging her on some of the eyebrow waxing she had done, and let me just say that her work speaks for itself!! She kept my eyebrows looking as flawless as ever and Kat made me feel so comfortable that it always felt like i was walking into her studio to catch up and have some girl talk instead of the basic waxing routine. Kat you are so talented and I just wanna say that I was so blessed to have found you during my short stay out in the Bay area for work. read more

Kat was super nice and I love how my lash lift turned out! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to get a lash lift :).

Kat is amazing! I have been going to her for a couple of years now first for lash extensions and now brow waxing. Though I don't currently have extensions, I LOVED them and always got tons of compliments. She always checked in about the shape and length and made adjustments if requested. Once it's back in my budget, I'll definitely have Kat do them again. Now, I see her for my brows and she is great with that too! Microblading is also on my eventual to-do list with Kat. Highly recommend her for all your brow & lash needs! read more

I recently had a brow wax - Excellent all the way! Super cute space & Kat is a gem. This will be my new go to spot for brows. Thank you Kat!

I got a lash lift with Kat and I absolutely loved my experience and the results. The lash lift lasted a little over 8 weeks and I'm excited to book my next appointment with her. She's is truly talented and very professional. I will definitely be back! read more

Based on other clients' 5-star reviews I went with Kat for my first micro-blading experience and I am so thrilled I did! From the initial consultation to my touch up, Kat made me feel comfortable by her professional and calm demeanor, skills, and her very clean and organized work area. Fortunately, my first sitting was before COVID-19 restrictions were put in place, but even then, Kat was already operating as if COVID-19 safety precautions were in place due to wearing a mask and gloves (PPE) while doing the micro-blading. Another important aspect about Kat's work space is that it's private and she must unlock the front entrance to allow you in. Once you're in it's just you and Kat. So, if you're thinking of micro-blading, don't look any further! Kat is talented and able to give you beautiful results too! read more

Lashes look amazing after my first lash lift - and a calm, easy experience in Kat's lovely studio

I found Rituals while searching for a lash lift in the Oakland area. So happy that I chose to give it a try. Kat was friendly and very professional, and the treatment was so relaxing. My lashes look amazing! Never knew I had so many eyelashes, but now with the lift and tint, they make my eyes shine. Thank you Kat. read more

I loved my lash lift! Kat was very accommodating and professional. The whole process was very quick and in the end my lashes looked natural and dramatic. Definitely coming back! read more

I haven't touched my brows in four years because I have thick brows, and I tend to be cautious about letting people touch them. Kat did a fabulous job waxing them. It was quick and gentle, and the shape is incredible. The space itself is clean and has a really cute neon sign. read more

Ok so I had been waiting to make this review till I had a full idea of the effects of my keratin lash lift, but I go the lift on January 22, and almost 9 weeks later I still have actual curl and volume to my lashes! I've never been able to keep a curl in my lashes for more than an hour or two with regular methods, and I usually would just end up glopping on the mascara to compensate. Not a great look. I'd been looking into Lash lifts for a while, and eventually decided on Kat, especially because her price was really reasonable for the amount of delicacy involved when there are chemicals being applied near the eye. It was wellllll worth it. I had people complimenting me on my eye color because they were finally free from the umbrella that was my eyelashes. There is no doubt in my mind that I'm gonna go back. Kat was very calming and gentle and the room had a lovely ambiance, and the whole process made me much more comfortable going into the world bare faced. I've included three photos of a before, right after, and now, almost nine weeks later! I super highly recommend :) read more

See all

I see Kat regularly for my brow and lip wax, I absolutely love her work. She is detailed and makes me look amazing. She has a nurturing energy and her space is so calming - I feel layers of stress melt off of me as soon as I enter. You wouldn't necessarily think of waxing being a calming thing but with Kat it always is. Thanks so much!! read more

I used to live in SF and when I was there I had a woman who waxed my eyebrows who I loved but when I moved to Oakland I could not find a replacement. I tried a few different places but was never happy with the results so eventually I gave up and just struggled with doing my own eyebrows for several years. But about a year ago I finally did another online search and decided to try Kat and was so relieved to find that I had finally found someone in the East Bay that I could completely trust with my eyebrows! She really takes her time, she's very focused and meticulous, it's just her so the atmosphere is peaceful and calm, she remembers me and the shape I like so I can just go in and relax and know that when I come out my brows will look great! read more

I've been going to Kat for eyebrow, lashes, and waxing for years! I'm incredibly picky about my eyebrows. My brows are on the blonde side and she works her magic to shape and tint them so they look perfectly bold without looking unnatural. I've also gotten lash tints, lifts, and extensions for special occasions and they've always come out perfect. I prefer more of a natural lash extension and she creates a beautiful look. After going to her for years, she has never let me down. Her work is consistent and beautiful, and she follows up and really cares about her clients. Her new location is on MLK and easy to find, just be sure to ring the doorbell with her icon on it (there are two other doorbells for the other businesses in the building). Don't hesitate to book, you are in good hands! read more

Kat is lovely -- inside and out. I'm delighted by the results of my lash lift. My mornings are getting closer to my ideal -- streamlined and simple. Pretty studio space, and easy parking. Everyone should try it! read more

She did such a good job with eyebrow dye + wax! She listened to me very carefully and did color/shape accordingly. Will be back soon.

I got a lash lift from Kat and I've never been happier with the final product. They look absolutely amazing and I definitely will be going back in the future. I highly recommend Rituals by Kat!! read more

Since moving to Oakland from SF I had been looking for a new place to go for waxing and am so happy to have found Kat. Her space is conveniently located and super cute. I didn't have to give her much instruction and she's done a great job. She's super friendly and has answered any questions I have about microblading and lash extensions. I will happily continue going to see Kat and will recommend her to others as well. read more

Kat is AMAZING! Went in for lash lift and brow wax. Never had my lashes lifted before, it's a game changer! Lasted 3 months and I just went back for my second time and am LOVING it. Best eyebrow wax of my life too, I send all my friends here! read more

I am sooo pleased to have met Kat !!! I could not be happier with the lash curl and tint and brow tint.She has knocked so much time off my morning routine, feeling the love read more

Kat is it. Her gentle nature and breezy energy are such doses of light when combined with her immense attention to detail and masterful work. It is not a common combination. A million lifetimes ago, I sat as the CEO of a skincare company after years in cosmetics. These days, I live on the road full time, and spend many stretches of my existence out in the elements in pursuit of quiet and adventure. No place is my home, I have an un-relenting wild animal of a schedule, and yet I am well informed in the overall health, wellness and maintenance of good skin. I am difficult at best, all of this against the benefit of regular care toward external health... oh and I have to get my picture taken. a lot. And so, I follow her. I began getting treatments as well as tinting and waxing services from Kat in Portland. She was someone I had known years before in San Francisco, and I had hoped that rapport might make the results of my visit work best- it's where we all start when we can. I was beyond impressed. She listened... to my want for a lean toward a natural appearance with underlying polish, to my style and individuality, and focused her attentions to helping me realize that look. She understands shape and light and I honor that she takes the time to educate me on every step of her process. I walked away feeling incredible, absolutely beautiful and totally heard. I have since followed her to Fig & Clover in Oakland. Straight altering my road schedule in order to sit in her room whether for regular (as much as I can) upkeep or prior to a major event where I might have to speak in front of large audiences, present my work at events, or be featured in press. She slays it every time. I can count on her care every time to make me feel like the best version of myself. And I can't imagine there being any greater gratitude than exactly that... Thank you Kat. xx read more

I had my lashes lifted by Kat. She is incredibly professional and the whole experience was fantastic. I can't recommend her enough. She is not only talented, but very kind and thoughtful. My lash lift also lasted much longer than I expected! I will definitely be going back. read more
