Meet the Staff
Liz McKay (Owner)
I’m Liz, the proud owner of Feather and Fringe in Westport, and your go-to esthetician for all things brows and lash lifts! I’ve been in the beauty business since 2015, and creating perfect brows and lashes is my passion. Whether it’s threading or airbrush eyebrows, I’m all about giving you those flawless features that make you feel confident and ready to take on the world.
Before opening Feather and Fringe in 2023, I owned Bare, A Skincare Experience for 2.5 years and before that got my start working at Benefit Cosmetics, where I mastered the art of brow magic.
When I’m not doing brows and lashes, you can find me doing Pilates, gardening, or enjoying a great meal at one of my favorite local spots. At home, I’m kept busy by my two daughters, two dogs, and a cat—basically, my house is like a mini zoo!
I’m so excited to be here and make sure you walk out of Feather and Fringe looking and feeling amazing! Can’t wait to give you the brows of your dreams!
Esthetician & Owner
Tracey Duarte
My name is Tracey Duarte and I have been an Esthetician since 2012. My specialties are expert brow waxing and threading, creating the perfect shades of brow tinting and staining, body waxing, spray tanning, lash lifts and brow laminations.
Forming a trusting client relationship is my top priority and listening to your “brow story” helps us both get a better understanding of your brow goals.
I am privileged to say, my career is also my passion! It never feels like a job to me! I truly enjoy contributing to the confidence my clients have when they leave the salon!
Esthetician
Sarah Golden
Hi, I’m Sarah, a licensed esthetician since 2018, specializing in makeup artistry, brow shaping, spray tans, lash lifts, full-body waxing, and facials. My purpose as an esthetician is to empower my clients, boost their confidence, and help them feel their absolute best.
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been passionate about beauty, and now I have the privilege of turning that passion into a career. I strive to create a fun environment where my clients feel comfortable and supported by me. I take the time to truly understand each person’s unique beauty goals and needs, ensuring every service is personalized to them.
When I’m not helping my clients shine, you can find me cheering on my favorite sports team, traveling to a new place, or hanging out with my dog at home!

Marketing Manager
Kalissa DeStefano
Hi, I’m Kalissa! I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in Business Marketing, and I’ve spent the past four years working in social media management. Growing up with a mom who’s a cosmetologist, I’ve always had a deep love for the beauty industry, which makes being part of Feather & Fringe such a perfect fit for me!
When I’m not working, you can usually find me working out, soaking up the sun by the water, or cozied up with a good book—most likely with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in hand. I love connecting with people and helping bring beauty and confidence to life through creativity and social media.
