Q&A
Katerina if you have traveled the worlds and growing up in Hong Kong, does this mean that you speak multiple languages?
-Yes, I speak 3 languages and am planning to learn French or Spanish soon, I am still debating
​
When did you first become an esthetician?
- I went to school (Frederique Academy) in Hong Kong in 2005 to become an Esthetician and Massage Therapist and I graduated with multiple Diplomas
​
Do you think there is a difference in education between Hong Kong and USA in specifically this field?
-100% YES! A quick reminder, Hong Kong used to be a UK colony and now it is an independent government, why am I saying that, well it still has a lot of UK influence in education quality, so when I went to Frederique Academy, all of their classes were based on UK and International examination standards, as I received Internationally recognized Diplomas as well as British once as well. Here in the US it is not the same, I too went back to school in Illinois, and learned that there is no standard information that esthetician receive, it depends on the state your in, the requirements for the license, and with that you cannot practice a lot of the treatments that one can perform in Hong Kong as an example. So yes, there is a difference.
​
Why Holistic practice? Why not Medical side of this business?
-I have done that, the medical practice and I have seen long term effects, this is one of the reasons why I am choosing the path where I can apply my knowledge to do right by my guests and their skin
​
What is your favorite treatment? You don't list a lot of them, why not?
- I love all of my treatments, this is why I have a limited list of them, they are all to the point. I did not add the "Hydrating Facial" or "Glowing Facial" or "Deep cleanse facial" or many other, because most book an appointment with me as a professional to decide what's good for their skin and to customize the treatment appropriately. It makes life easier for my guests to have a simpler service menu, I wanted to do so because I believe that the true luxury that we have is TIME
​
Do you teach?
-YES! I do, all of the information is on my school website
