Katie S.

Katie Speropoulos is a Master Cosmetologist.
She is originally from Boston and proud of it, she was born and raised there but has happily called Georgia home for the past 19 years and absolutely loves it!
She has spent her entire life in the cosmetology industry, specializing in many aspects of the craft. While she enjoys all areas of her work, her favorite place to be is behind the chair, spending one-on-one time with her clients and creating looks that make them feel confident and beautiful.
When she’s not behind the chair, you can find her at the park walking and hiking local trails or playing with her dogs. She starts her mornings with a good protein shake but also loves winding down at night with a margarita and tacos. In her downtime, she enjoys working on puzzles of any kind!
Her personal motto is simple. She wants every client to feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside and to always feel heard, appreciated, and truly cared for. And as a true Boston native, she’s a die-hard Patriots and Red Sox fan through and through. ♥️
