ABOUT ME
I am Kalina Isato and I have performed miracles on part-time crossdressers, full-time transsexuals, and genetic women since 1994. My transformation service has helped my friends and fans all over the world achieve their most gorgeous look!
My service is located in downtown Philadelphia in a private, discreet location. Complimentary garage parking is available. I am a short walk away from world-renowned museums, nightclubs, and restaurants. Many of my clients have the confidence to walk around town with great success or see the potential for their gender transition.

I will only answer incoming calls from an actual phone number, not "Unknown" or "Anonymous." If you leave a voicemail, you must include a phone number where I can reach you.
You must have a PayPal account to pay for your deposit in advance. Do not call me until you have a PayPal account. You may also pay the deposit in person at my parties or events.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What does a makeover include?
A makeover includes makeup application, hair or wig styling, optional nail polish application, use of my facility for clothing changes, and photography. You must bring your own clothing and wigs.
Do you perform makeovers as a boy or a girl?
I'm a full-time woman. The makeover is about you, not me.
After my makeover, will I be able to walk out the door and pass as a woman?
Passing is more than just appearance. Passing is about confidence, attitude, personality, and all of the intangibles that make up what a woman is. I can give you a more natural appearance suitable for walking around in public, but you must practice other skills, such as feminine mannerisms, to aid in your passability. I can teach you how to look, act, and think like a woman as part of your makeover.
What should I bring to my makeover session?
Read this page for helpful advice.
How are your photography skills?
Photography is one of my passions. My photographs
have been in gallery shows and have won prizes. I have the equipment and skills to be able to produce dramatic images like the one you see below. My photography skills can make everyday people look phenomenal.
What do you do with my pictures?
I will place all of your pictures on CD-ROMs or DVD-Rs for you to take home. You will leave with the only copy of your pictures unless you give me permission to use one or more of your pictures in the testimonials section. I do not keep archives of photos unless you and I agree to it.
What makes you better than your competition?
For over 20 years, I've been in the public eye as one of the world's most beautiful transgender women. I'm a published author with 8 full-length books, 3 tutorials, and 3 videos on male-to-female transformation. In 1995, I competed against some of the most beautiful female impersonators in the world and won the top prize in a major beauty competition. I've created fundraising events for the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen For the Cure. In 2004, I was a runway model for a fashion show that raised over $16,000 for a non-profit organization.
No other makeover service in the world has someone with outstanding makeup and photography skills and dedication to the transgender community and non-profit charities. You owe it to yourself to seek the most qualified person who can help you realize what your potential can be.
How do I make an appointment?
It's easy! Just email me with the date and time you wish to come in and I will reply to you to confirm. You are then required to pay a 50% deposit within 48 hours of the confirmation to secure your appointment. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of your appointment and re-open the time slot for others. I will send you my address and directions to my location once you pay the deposit.
How far in advance can I book an appointment?
Book your appointment at least 48 hours in advance. Time slots fill quickly so it is best to book as far in advance as possible and pay the required deposit at the time of booking.
What if I can't afford a makeover ?
If you cannot afford a makeover or simply have no means to get to the Philadelphia area, I've created these videos just for you!
What if I cancel my appointment?
If you cancel at least 72 hours in advance, I will hold your payment interest-free and apply it to a future appointment. If you cancel in under 72 hours, you will forfeit your payment.
What if I'm late for my appointment?
Please respect your appointment start and end times. Your appointment starts on your appointment start time, not when you arrive. If you are running late, please call me in advance as a courtesy.
If, after reading this, you have further questions, please contact me. |
