Meet Your Stylist, Katie Gross

Katie Gross got her start in the beauty industry in 2002. Initially, she did not expect to become a beauty specialist. She had originally wanted to become a costume designer and was frequently found sketching new designs in her notebook during school. Yet, a week before she was supposed to begin college classes and pursue her lifelong dream of costume design, she started to have second thoughts and realized that maybe costume design was not her true calling. Her mother suggested that she go to cosmetology school where she could still put the creativity that was founded in her passion of costume design to good use making people become the best version of themselves in the beauty industry. Katie continued on her education and obtained her associate’s degree in business management in 2010. She hoped to use her degree to open her own salon one day. She achieved that goal and opened Suburban Lash Beauty in 2017.

When Katie is not in the salon, making her customers into the best version of themselves, she can be found at home with her husband Dan, their two beautiful children Bennett and Blakely, and her miniature schnauzer Gracie Lou. Some of Katie’s hobbies include writing, fitness, and obsessively listening to Michael Bolton.
