MEET THE DREAM TEAM BEHIND YOUR GLOW!
Meet Katie Rae
Katie is a 2019 graduate of the Aveda Institute and co-founder of A Hidden Gem Beauty Bar, a space she helped create to make a meaningful difference in her clients’ lives. Her goal was to build a place where people could feel confident in their skin and be supported, all while giving her the flexibility to spend more time with her family.
Katie specializes in Laser Hair Removal and Morpheus8 because of the confidence these treatments bring to her clients. She loves seeing them enjoy the long-term benefits of smooth, hair-free skin with Laser Hair Removal and how Morpheus8 leaves them feeling rejuvenated, with firmer, more refreshed skin. The real, lasting results these treatments provide are why Katie is passionate about offering them to clients seeking transformative, non-invasive solutions.
Katie’s passion for skincare goes beyond just treating the skin; she’s dedicated to helping her clients build lasting confidence. Whether it’s giving someone a fresh, rejuvenated look or supporting their long-term skincare journey, Katie’s focus is always on providing results-driven care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Opening A Hidden Gem Beauty Bar was about creating a space where clients could trust they were receiving the best treatments tailored to their specific needs.
Katie has been married for 21 years, is the proud mom of five amazing kids, and is a Northshore native. When she’s not working, you’ll find her running, cheering her kids on at their sports games, or traveling to explore new places.
Meet Livi Jay
Liv, a 2019 graduate of the Aveda Institute, has a passion for helping her clients feel empowered and confident in their skin. Shortly after graduation, she co-founded A Hidden Gem Beauty Bar with Katie, driven by her desire to help others feel confident in their own skin.
Having struggled with cystic acne since the age of eight, Liv knows firsthand how difficult it can be to find effective treatments without relying on harsh medications. This personal experience fuels her commitment to providing results-driven, gentle skincare solutions that help her clients achieve healthy, clear skin without the stress.
Specializing in microneedling and acne treatments, Liv is all about tackling those stubborn skin concerns that can shake confidence, especially for younger clients. She loves seeing the transformation—not just in their skin, but in how they carry themselves afterward.
As a newlywed and devoted pup mom of two, Liv balances her love for skincare with enjoying time with her family. In her spare time, she loves watching her husband play rugby and catching up on her favorite reality TV shows. A 6th generation Northshore resident, Liv is deeply connected to her community and committed to making her clients feel right at home from the moment they walk through the door.
