About Us

Angela "Angi" Yu Bae is a mom and wife with a lifelong love of crafting, paper, textiles and all things party planning related. With a degree in Communications from Cornell University followed by an Associate Degree in Fashion Design from Parsons, Angie's background spans more than ten years in communications/PR, marketing & product development for companies such as IKEA, Vitra and Maharam. From birthdays to weddings, she has the pleasure of planning special occasions for even the youngest of clients, ensuring that each event is given the same attention to detail and personalization as larger scale corporate events.

She also proudly serves as the Executive Director of Zimele USA, a non-profit that seeks to confront poverty in rural South Africa by empowering women, youth and men to "stand on their own two feet."

At Lili and Cata, we believe that caring for your nails should be a beauty ritual free from worries or concerns. Step into our salon and you’ll find a relaxing space replete with a cafe/wine bar where you can socialize with friends over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Continue to unwind while our dedicated technician pampers you.

We use the healthiest products on the market as well as hygienic techniques that ensure the well-being of our clients as much as our technicians. Our long-lasting nail lacquers are cruelty-free, non-toxic, and vegan, making them the safest options available. Made with quality ingredients, all of our polishes are at least 7-free (5-free for gels), meaning that they’re free of nasty chemicals.

By employing waterless services, we are rethinking the traditional mani-pedi experience and putting your nails, health, and the environment first. We have also installed a state-of-the-art ventilation system at each manicure and pedicure station to ensure that harmful fumes, dust, and particles are removed from the air. 

We’ve created a warm, positive environment by paying our nail technicians fair wages and treating them with the respect they deserve. After all, Lili and Cata is a family-owned operation that puts people first. So, go ahead and bring along your sweetie, pregnant bestie, or kids to our salon—we can’t wait to welcome you!
