Meet Kelsey Gillespie! - Your beauty artist & the owner of CatEyeStrophic Beauty. Kelsey was born & raised in Manitoba, Canada. Kelsey loves trying out new beauty products/services, making others feel beautiful, meeting new clients, her 3 cats, her boyfriend Michel, going to the gym, beading & hanging out with her friends/family. Kelsey is proud to be a Red River Métis female entrepreneur.

Kelsey graduated from Red River College with a Business Administration Diploma (marketing stream) in 2019. Kelsey always wanted to have her own business. She thought about making pretzels, sewing scrunchies, learning book keeping & more. In the summer of 2022 lashing caught her eye & she went all in. She took 3 lash certifications, incorporated her business, bought a recliner, square machine & lash supplies. Since then Kelsey has taken 2 sanitization courses, a revolutionary lash lift course, became certified in doing multiple brow services, certified in waxing, certified in teeth whitening, & certified in spray tanning.

Kelsey & Michel have 3 cats, Nala, Bandit, & Coconut (Coco). She wanted to name her business something fun, memorable & bold. “CatEye” is an eyelash extension style, & catastrophic is a bold word. That’s how CatEyeStrophic Inc. was named.

Kelsey carefully picks products to retail to her clients by choosing only Canadian-Women owned, vegan & cruelty free products. Kelsey loves testing out new brands for quality before bringing them in for her clients.

Kelsey wants to make sure her clients are comfortable & leave feeling beautiful. Kelsey loves advising clients on different beauty products to help them reach their goals. Make sure you book an appointment because she cannot wait to meet you!
