I'm definitely not her most frequent client, but every time I come in she remembers me, makes me feel completely comfortable, and takes such amazing care of me. That consistency is rare--and honestly the reason I keep coming back. She's professional, thorough, and just the right amount of funny to distract you at the exact moments you need it most. If you're even a little nervous, she's your girl. Macie is truly the best--couldn't recommend her more!

My first visit to Holden Timeless Beauty was amazing! From the welcoming front desk team to my…read moreappointment with Katie Martin. Katie made me feel comfortable right away and took the time to explain my facial analysis and the reasoning behind each recommendation before treatment. I had Dysport and filler, and I couldn't be happier with my results! What I loved most was how genuinely excited Katie was for me--it made the experience even more awesome. She's officially my go-to, and I would 100% recommend her. Thank you, HTB, for such a great experience!

Update 4/25/26: I truly cannot say enough good things about Katie Martin. She is not only…read moreincredibly sweet and warm, but also highly skilled, detail oriented, and professional. From the moment I met her, she made me feel so comfortable and completely taken care of. I have seen her for Dysport and RF Microneedling (twice). She explains everything clearly, answers every question, gives you clear written after care instructions and you can just tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their results. What I appreciate most is how much she prioritizes safety. I've had to rebook appointments more than once, because I still had remnants of spray tan on my face and another time because of my tretinoin use. At the time it felt like a bummer, but it showed me how much she truly puts her patients first and will never cut corners. That level of integrity is rare and so appreciated. I trust her completely with my skin, I love my results afterwards and just highly recommend Katie. I also want to add an additional note about the sweet girls who also do my check-in/out. They are super friendly, so genuine and very helpful. I like to going and always seeing their familiar faces. Next time I'll remember to get their names.

Probably one of the worst acrylic manicures I've ever had. First time at this place and I left the…read moresalon with dried acrylic residue all over my fingers and spent the rest of the day picking it off. I also told the manicurist (older woman, didn't get her name) that my nails are thin, but they continued using the drill on a high speed, which burned me several times. The nail shape was uneven, and the top coat flooded into my cuticles, making the application look messy. I'm honestly concerned about developing contact dermatitis because of how much product was left on my skin. I was really disappointed with the quality of the service and frustrated that I had to pay for it.
