Great, long lasting cut 12/08/2007

I went to Shanna about two months ago and she did a great job with my color and cut. She was very happy to give advice about how to handle my hair on my own. I found this to be extremely helpful since I have thick, curly and dry hair that I wear both straight and curly. Two months later I still love my cut and color and I still get compliments on it! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Thank you!!! 11/28/2007

I had my first appointment with Shanna yesterday for highlights and a cut and I couldn't be happier. When I first sat down, she told me about her vision for my hair. It was EXACTLY what I was thinking. It's nice to know that we were on the same page. She was fun and easy to talk to. My color turned out awesome and the cut was fabulous! I have received many compliments so far and everyone wanted to know who did my hair. I have never been happier leaving a salon. From now on, I won't let anyone but Shanna do my hair. She is the best! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is great! 11/27/2007

Shanna has been cutting my hair for several years now. Every time I leave the salon, I get so many compliments. She really listens to what I want, and is very patient when I am not ready to try something new. However, she gives lots of great ideas/tips, and she always explains what she is doing every step of the way. One day soon, I am going to be ready for the hair color she has suggested. I have no doubt that when I take the plunge, it will look great. Thanks, Shanna! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great for Changing Styles 11/16/2007

I went to Shanna wanting to change my tired long blonde hair, and I'm so happy with my new cut/color. We went for a brunette/auburn color and it turned out fantastic. Shanna gave me a great cut for my face shape, and this is the best color I think that I've had. ~ Posted on Citysearch

I was not disappointed! 11/09/2007

We got married in Austin. October 31, 2007. It was so hectic. I was a basket case! I was lost finding the salon by 40 minutes. Everyone was absolutely fabulous! I had no idea what I wanted or needed. Babbling idiot comes to mind. Shanna was so awesome! She asked me what I wanted, I told her I didn't know--Just do something. She looked at me like I was just a little nutty (which I was!!--I was getting married in a few hours -----I liked Shanna instantly). She did the perfect color for me, as well as the absolute most perfect hair style! It is so easy, which is a must. You could not go wrong with Catena's or Shanna! I say go for it! Thank you sooooo very much Shanna. Your awesome!!!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Fantastic Stylist, Genuine Person!!!! 11/02/2007

After leaving a trusted stylist on the east coast I was scared of what I was going to get in Austin. I've been wearing Great Lengths Hair Extensions for over 2 years. Shanna by far is the best stylist I've ever had! She worked around my schedule, listened to my hair needs, and my hair looks wonderful! She cares about her clients and takes the time to make sure everyone is happy. I won't look any further. Thanks so much Shanna!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

I go nowhere else but Catena's and Shanna 10/31/2007

Shanna is a great stylist. When my original stylist ran off and got married on me I was very nervous about who I could find to cut my hair and make me happy. My hair dresser is as important to me as my doctor. Shanna was recommended to me and I have been seeing her ever since. My last haircut was fantastic. I loved it! I am looking forward to getting my hair colored with highlights soon! The salon itself is very friendly and the staff takes good care of their customers. Plus...who needs a therapist...I talk to Shanna. See you soon! Heidi.~ Posted on Citysearch

Best HairStylist and Colorist in Central Texas! 10/28/2007

I had had a very horrible experience with another stylist who had gone from working in a salon to working from home that I was afraid of ever finding a competent stylist. My previous stylist did such a terrible job on my hair both in butchering the cut and in making my hair color really awful, that I have not been to another stylist since that time, which was May 2007. I feel that God brought me to Shanna. She both cut and colored my hair and it looks fabulous. Her view is that hair should be healthy first and spent a lot of time conditioning my hair and giving me her professional advice about what I could do to take better care of my hair. As a bonus, Shanna is a wonderful listener and gave me the most amazing advice. I feel that she really cares about me and my hair and I will never go anywhere else after just one visit to her. I'm now a lifelong client and yesterday was my first visit to her and first time meeting her. She's amazing. You really should give her a try. Her salon is very close to the drag at UT but has it's own parking lot, which is wonderful. She also has the salon decorated in a very feminine and antique-looking manner. It was very sophisticated yet very unpretentious, just like Shanna. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Skilled stylist and colorist 10/16/2007

After recently moving to Austin, I was nervous about finding a new hairstylist after seeing the same stylist for 7 years. My first appointment with Shanna was great. She offered suggestions for changing my look yet listened to me and supported my decision to "stick with" my current cut/style until I feel ready for a bigger change. I did appreciate that she offered me her ideas on what she thought would work for me and my hair, and I feel confident that she has very good stylistic insights. She did a wonderful job on my color/highlights-- it looks very natural which to me is the most important thing. Shanna is also easy to talk to, and I could see she truly enjoys her work. She was also very effective in managing time and I was not at the salon for an excessive amount of time. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience with Shanna and at Catena's Hair studio. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Best Stylist and Colorist! 10/12/2007

I've been a client of Shanna's for many years now for both highlights and cut and have always been very happy with Shanna's results. Whether I've come in knowing exactly what I've wanted or left it up to her to come up with something, she has always done a wonderful job, giving me a style and color that I love! I would highly recommend Shanna to anyone who is ready to start looking good :)! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Always walk away happy 09/22/2007

Shanna has been my hairdresser for over ten years. The studio, Catena's, is conveniently located and a friendly and comfortable environment. I enjoy going there but it is Shanna's expertise that keeps me coming back. She does great color (highlighting, I'm a blonde) and cuts (fairly short for me). In addition, you can always tell her if you're not happy with the way your hair is looking and she will work with you to get it to your satisfaction. She will give you her ideas but always honor yours. She also does my daughter's hair (also highlighting and long hair). Once Shanna was unable to see her and she let someone else do her highlights. Unhappy with the results, she declared that she will never let anyone else touch her hair! That pretty much says it all. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna's the best! 09/20/2007

I wanted an updated look -- new style, new length, new color -- but I didn't know exactly what I wanted. I told Shanna she could do whatever she wanted with my hair. She asked me some questions to determine how much time/effort I was willing to invest in a style (not much), and then she came up with great new look for me. I love it! It's the next best thing to a face lift! Shanna is a joy to work with. She wants her clients to be happy with their cuts/color and she'll do whatever is necessary to please them. She's sensitive to my budget constraints and has offered a plan to help me maintain my "new look" without breaking the bank. Shanna has a warm and relaxed manner, and the salon has a cozy ambiance. I'm so glad I found Shanna and Catena's Hair Studio. I got much more than just a hair cut/color from the experience. Thank you, Shanna!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great hairstyle to fit me 09/20/2007

I used to go to the really cheap places to get hair cuts and color my hair myself. After reading all of her customer's comments, I decided to splurge on myself and go to see Shanna. I let her have free reign of my hair and come up with a style that meets my lifestyle - easy to maintain, easy to style, but a stylish cut for going out. The new style fit perfectly with all of these things. The coloring was a very rich tone, close to my natural color but it just makes my hair pop. I absolutely love both and am hooked now :) ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great Lengths with Shanna 09/05/2007

This is my second time to have extensions. This product works much better than the first. You can shower, sweat, brush and sleep without issue. There is very little slippage or tangling. Shanna is great to work with. She will work with your schedule, give you privacy and even let you "do your own thing" while she magically "grows" your hair. The extensions give me volume and length. I fully recommend you try it. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is the queen of curly hairstylists! 08/27/2007

I live in Universal City and had been looking for someone who 'specialized' in cutting curly hair. I'd had some pretty disastrous results from stylists who just didn't know how to do my type of hair, so when I did a google search and saw Shanna's video and she had curly hair like mine, I thought, that looks like a woman who knows her stuff! The drive was over an hour long because of traffic, but I will say without any hesitation that it was well worth it! First, she was very friendly and open and we talked about what I was looking for and what we thought would work best for me. I'm just going to jump to the best part and say, "I love my hair now!" I haven't felt this good about my hair in a LONG time! And if that weren't enough, I had just gone through a break up and was feeling pretty down, but she made me feel so much better just by being herself - Open, candid, engaging and I just felt a real connection with her. She has a gift for making people feel welcome, and with her talent for hairstyling, you will definitely walk out looking and feeling good! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great hairstylist! 08/22/2007

Shanna is a great hair stylist. Tell her your concerns with your hair, and she listens. If you need suggestions, she'll offer very good ones. Shanna is exceptional with the whole package...cut, color, and highlights...everything I need! Peggy Wright ~ Posted on Citysearch

Thank you Shanna 08/13/2007

I came into see Shanna a couple weeks ago after getting hair extensions from another Salon that truly damaged my hair. She has done an excellent job fixing and repairing the damage that was done. She delivers quality, and expert service to her customers. She really enjoys what she does and I am so glad that she took care of me and my hair. I have to say if you want an expert who know how to do hair therapy get Shanna she will knock you socks off. I want to thank you for making me beautiful and confident again. You done an Awesome, Exquisite job on my hair. I recommend Shanna as one of the leading stylist in Austin. Come and see what she can do for you. Jen ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great stylist, great service 08/06/2007

I just visited Shanna at Catena's hair studio and am thrilled. I am a mom of four, who operates a business out of my home. I struggle to find time to make myself look good. Shanna totally got my situation and gave me a great cut and color. I can now walk out the door with an actual style in minutes! Catena's is a charming little place that is a nice retreat from my chaos, and the service rocks. Taking care of clients is clearly a priority for Shanna and everyone at Catena's, which I very much appreciate. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great first time visit 08/02/2007

It was my first time at Catena's hair studio. Even though there was a slight confusion on my appointment, the owner was more than willing to help accommodate me. I felt welcomed and well served. The customer service was excellent and the environment was enjoyable. My hair cut was great and the stylist, Suzanne, was well informed. She offered me valuable tips on how to keep my hair in better condition. I will be coming back to this place again! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Wonderful curls! 07/31/2007

I just had my first haircut with Shanna and loved it! She knew just what to do with my naturally curly hair to make it look great. The salon had a wonderful atmosphere and Shanna is so easy to talk to which makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I go to UT and Catena's is conveniently located close by and offers appointments late which is a plus. I will definitely be going back to see Shanna again! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is great, and my hair looks great too! 07/25/2007

I have only been to Catena's twice, and the last visit was 5 weeks ago when I had a cut and color with Shanna. I was a bit nervous after she suggested a color that I hadn't thought much about, but I said, "let's go for it" and I am so glad I did. 5 weeks later the color is still very vibrant and hasn't faded, and the cut is very versatile with my naturally curly hair. She even colored my eyebrows, and since that was the first time ever that I've had my brows colored, I was scared I'd look like Groucho Marx, but they looked so natural and perfect with my honey blonde color. I would definitely recommend Shanna and her talent/expertise to any one of my friends, and look forward to coming back to the salon. One thing that I also appreciated was the fact that Shanna is willing to work with a client during times of ultimate change and pampering, but also when a budget is something that has to be adhered to and a haircut is all that can be done at a visit. I love the way the salon is run and the homey feel of the salon itself. Thanks for such a great experience!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is the best!!!!!!!! 07/23/2007

Shanna is a genius! I was in Austin on business and needed a new "Look". She was fabulous!!! She squeezed me in and made me feel like I had known her for years. She had fantastic suggestions and made me feel so comfortable the entire time. I left the salon with a cut and color that not only looked great when I walked out, but every day!!!! I get compliments daily!! Also, Shanna used the very best products and talked me through each product as she applied it. She explained both how each product worked and how they would help my hair....WITH NO PRESSURE TO BUY!! Thanks again Shanna!!!!!!!!!!! You are a true talent!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Thank you, Shanna!!! 07/21/2007

It was my first visit to Shanna. After a few bad experiences in hair cut, I was so lucky that I found Shanna on Citysearch. First she listened to my idea and then she gave me very reasonable suggestions. She not only gave me a fabulous hair cut, but also she offered me useful tips on hair care and styling. I will definitely go back to her!!! Highly recommended! ~ Posted on Citysearch

You won't be sorry... 07/20/2007

After moving to Austin from Chicago over a year ago I was concerned that I would find a hair stylist with whom I was as satisfied with as my one back home. After a few 'bad hair' experiences, a friend referred me to Shanna and all was well with the world. You can tell she loves what she does, and is very focused on making sure her clients get what they want. She will make suggestions, which I like, and keeps on top of the latest trends in her profession. I am inclined to 'change my look' both color and cutwise every few months, and she has done an excellent job of creating my transformations. Give her a try, you won't be sorry. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is a brilliant artist!! 07/09/2007

Shanna is a brilliant hair artist. She transforms her clients beautifully. I'm always amazed how fabulous I look when I leave, but even more amazed that her color and styling magic is so perfected, I look good for months after. Shanna has that special talent that simply flows. Shhhh! Shanna also does my Great Lengths hair extensions. They're gorgeous, and best of all, no one knows. I never looked so good. Thanks Shanna, you are the best! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great color 07/07/2007

I got my hair colored by Shanna recently and i am really happy with the results. The color is exactly what I wanted and I will definitely go to her again! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is the best stylist ever! 07/04/2007

I just saw Shanna for the first time and couldn't be happier. My hair looks the best it's ever looked. She chose a cut and color that really flatter my coloring and face shape. I'll definitely make Shanna my new regular hair stylist and I can't wait to go back. Thanks Shanna!. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna exceeds expectations! 06/27/2007

Shanna is fantastic and tells me that the City Search reviews are to be trusted! She encouraged me to take a risk w/ a new style but then was willing to re-do when I wanted something different. She is easy to talk to and it is enjoyable to be sitting in her chair for an hour. I've found my new stylist! ~ Posted on Citysearch

No one better in Texas! 06/07/2007

I've been a client of Shanna's for 15 years and have very fine, difficult hair. After all these years, Shanna still asks what I'd like to have done with each appointment, listens, offers suggestions based on new hair technology and products, and makes the entire haircut experience loads of fun! She's fantastic with cuts, perms, color and everything else in between, not to mention a great sense of humor. And, she's always on time! Fantastic for most of us with busy schedules. Shanna invests a lot of time with the latest training, trends and techniques and it shows each time you walk out of the salon. The salon itself is very quaint and welcoming with a very relaxing, but fun atmosphere. If you're in Shanna's hands, you won't be disappointed! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Thanks Shanna! 06/07/2007

I had my first appointment with Shanna the other day & I couldn't be happier. She was right on with my color and cut. In the past my hair appointments would take 2 1/2 to sometimes 3 hours but with Shanna I was out of there in 90 minutes. Shanna is amazing and I look forward to my next appointment with her! Jill Dieckmann ~ Posted on Citysearch

Best Hair Stylist Ever!!!!!!! 06/05/2007

Shanna Is absolutely amazing! I've known her for about one year and now wish that I had never gone anywhere else. I met her just as I needed to find a new stylist and was nervous because of a bad experience I had had previously. She made me feel comfortable from the minute I walked in. The salon is so welcoming and I feel relaxed every time I go . Even though I wear my hair long and don't need to go in very often, I find myself wishing that I could anyway. I see Shanna outside the salon as our kiddo's go to the same school and she is one of my favorite people to be around!!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Talented, fun hairdresser 05/17/2007

I have known Shanna for almost 10 years. I have curly hair that I regularly color and she always has ideas for styles and products for my type of hair. Also, she understands what people with curly hair want because she has curly hair! I would recommend Shanna to almost anyone (with straight or curly hair) because she has a good eye for what styles work with different face shapes and she is always up on the latest products for coloring and maintaining healthy hair. She'll also keep you entertained if you have to sit in her chair for hours getting extensions. I highly recommend Shanna! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Has been my first and ONLY stylist for 9 years! 05/15/2007

Shanna has been the greatest ever since the first time I met her. She saved my hair that day and made me feel so comfortable in her stylist chair! As a 25 year old, I constantly change my style, and Shanna has been there every step of the way. She has colored and textured my hair over the years, and every time she has done something, I have gotten fabulous compliments. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! In fact, I have recommended her to my friends, and they love her too! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Best Hair Extensions and color!!!!! 05/11/2007

I have the most amazing hair now!! I was sent to Shanna by a friend of mine. I was looking to add volume and some highlights to my hair. Shanna gave me the best color I have ever had(and let me tell you it has been quite a few) And now my hair is soooo thick and beautiful. I have more confidence than I have ever had . And what a personality she has. I was in her chair for 5hrs. It was a pleasure. THANK YOU SHANNA! Go see her you will be happy you did!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is wonderful! 05/09/200

Shanna is the best hairstylist around. I've been going to her for 10 years and will trust my hair to no one else. People ask who does my hair and I tell them Shanna at Catena's. She is very professional and lets you know what style works for you. When I go in for a cut and color, she'll ask how I want my hair and I tell her to surprise me. I'm never disappointed. Shanna is great. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Hair Cut & Color & Therapy - WOW! 05/09/2007

Shanna has been one of the most fun, professional and ambitious people that I've met in a long time. I was blessed with her service after my long-time stylist moved out of state and recommended Shanna as the next best thing...I AGREE! Each time that I get to visit with her is a genuine experience...we discuss all avenues of the world and each other and have a great time - and even better MY HAIR LOOKS FANTASTIC! You can't beat it - a classy salon, a classy stylist and a classy hair style. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna makes me look great! 05/08/2007

Shanna has been cutting my hair for over 15 years! I'm a middle-aged guy with very fine hair that nobody knows how to cut EXCEPT for Shanna! I used to look like an out-dated John Denver wannabe until I met Shanna and she made me look like Sting! Plus she's fun, great conversationalist, ON TIME and professional. Thank you Shanna! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Absolutely the best in Austin 05/03/2007

Shanna's skills are worth every cent. She always knows exactly what I want with minimal description and executes it perfectly. My hair is extremely thick and wavy-- a combination that's proven difficult to other "premier" stylists. I hadn't had a hair cut I was 100% satisfied with in years until a friend recommended Shanna to me. Nothing besides one of us moving would make me go to another hair stylist. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Superb Stylist! 05/02/2007

Shanna has been my hair stylist for over ten years which speaks volumes. She is extremely professional, dependable and creative. She has always been there for me through cuts, colors and special needs. I trust her completely with all my hair care needs and some personal ones too! I don’t know what I would do without her and hope I never have to try. She is a superb stylist and I give her my most enthusiastic endorsement. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Best hair stylist 04/18/2007

I initially followed my sister's recommendation to try Shanna as a stylist. That was about 5 years ago. Shanna is awesome at what she does. She always knows what cut and color will complement not only my face shape and hair type but also my personality! I like to change my hair style pretty often, and Shanna is always ready with a new idea. Having Shanna cut my hair is such a pampering experience. It's like therapy. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Wonderful!! 04/03/2007

Shanna's been doing my hair 11 years, since I was eight. She's the only person I trust doing my highlights. They look perfectly sun-kissed and totally natural. Shanna's a wonderful person, and you can count on great conversation/entertainment while she's working on your hair. I can't imagine a better stylist; she's the only one I trust my locks to. ~ Posted on Citysearch

I've been with Shanna exclusively for over 10 years! 03/19/2007

Shanna is absolutely the best hair stylist/colorist in Austin. She has had extensive training in difficult hair and specializes in short, curly hair. She is a lovely person who is friendly and compassionate and amazingly remembers every thing her clients tell her. She is a truly talented professional/artist and nice person. I look forward to seeing her regularly! I have been going to her exclusively for over 10 years. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Super Stylist 03/19/2007

Shanna is one of those stylists who's not happy unless your cut and color are perfect. She strives to improve her skills so that she has the best to offer her clients. I've been with her for 14 years and never get bored with my cut. I get stopped often and asked who does my hair. (I've referred two people in the last 2 months.) My color is so natural that folks who don't know me find it hard to believe that I'm prematurely gray. I wouldn't go anywhere else! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great stylist! 03/07/2007

Shanna has been my hairstylist for over 14 years. Just recently, I wanted a whole new look - going back to short hair. Shanna has the knack for creating a hairstyle that complements your face AND is easy to care for! Thanks Shanna - it's terrific! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Shanna is a life saver! 03/05/2007

I am a student at UW in Seattle. My roommate and I attempted to highlight my long, dark brown hair. Oh, my gosh, what a mess! The highlight color was all wrong for me; it had a green hue to it and looked like it was striped. Fortunately, I had a family event in Austin to attend shortly after the "hair" fiasco, so my mom scheduled an appointment for me to see Shanna. Well, what a difference! Shanna completely colored my hair back to it's natural color. Then, because I still wanted some highlights, she highlighted my hair just enough to frame my face and the color was more of a golden hue. Long story-short, my hair looks great. Shanna did a terrific job. So, if you want someone who can right your wrongs and is totally hip, stop by and see Shanna at Catena's. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Simply the Best Hairstylist in Town 02/25/2007

I have been going to Shanna for 3 years. I like an edgy look but don't like going to an edgy salon. The atmosphere in the salon is serene and swank. I enjoy going to Shanna and getting the latest style as well as the good advice. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Best Hairstylist in Town 02/25/2007

I am a 73 year old client of Shanna's and have been going to her for 15 years. She is the only hair dresser that has continually given me youthful, stylish haircuts and color that defy my age. I am often stopped by mature women and have been asked who styles my hair and it is my pleasure to refer them to her. Not only is she an expert stylist, she is also a fabulous therapist, although she is not licensed, her suggestions are far smarter than those i've been too!!!!!!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Best Hair Stylist and Therapist in Town 02/25/2007

Shanna has been doing my hair for 20 years. She can make you look and feel like a Queen. She is up on the latest styles and is a master at color. I wouldn't dream of going to anyone else. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Very Talented Stylist! 02/23/2007

I have been getting color and cuts from Shanna for 7 years and she is fabulous! People FREQUENTLY mistake me for a natural blonde (I'm not). She's a very talented stylist! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Incredible cut and color by an incredible artist! 02/22/2007

I guess the best testament to good service of any kind is whether or not you would go back for more. Well, after 12 years I have never even considered going to see any other stylist. Shanna has seen me through so many milestones in my life from my wedding (with an amazing "up-doo") to conquering my fear of color. Shanna has a special way of making you feel great about how you feel inside as well as outside. I really look forward to hair-day. I can truly say that I don't just have a killer stylist who always strives for perfection (and is never late, I might add...), I also have a good friend. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Fantastic Job! 02/22/2007

Shanna has been doing my hair (color/highlights and cut) for several years now, and she has done a fantastic job of working with my budget while keeping my hair and customer satisfaction in my best interest. She also cut my 3 yr. old daughter's hair and was happy to do so, even though children are not her typical customers! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Wonderful! 02/22/2007

It is my pleasure to refer my friends and associates to Shanna for their hair care. She is wonderful! Shanna is creative, detail oriented, a good listener, and is always looking to improve—how I look and her care of my hair. She is well educated, up-to-date, and strives for excellence in color and cut. I love coming to see her because she makes our time together fun and I feel like a million bucks when I leave the salon. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Master at Hair Extensions! 02/15/2007

I have been a client of Shanna’s for the past three years. She is amazing with color and cuts. I can always expect to get just what I ask for when I go she Shanna. Shanna has now become a master at Great Lengths hair extensions. I am on my second set of extensions and I LOVE them. I feel 10 years younger with my new long hair and feel completely confident that no one would get that I have extensions. Shanna is not only talented but honest, trustworthy and really fun to be around. I wouldn’t have survived the 5 hours in the chair to get my extensions done had she not kept me entertained with her witty personality. Shanna is also reasonably priced considering the outstanding quality of her work. I highly recommend Shanna to anyone who needs a cut, color or is thinking about hair extensions. You will not be disappointed. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Fabulous Stylist! 02/15/2007

I am so lucky to have found Shanna, my stylist. A friend of mine recommended her to me recently and now I am hooked! My hair takes a lot of time and patience (extensions) and Shanna creates an environment that will make you feel comfortable and energized even after several hours in a chair. She is not only my stylist, she has become my friend and confidant. I look forward to my hair appointments now, because I know when I leave I will not only look beautiful, I will feel that way as well. Shanna is my “ego boost” and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and a professional stylist that is experienced and desires perfection in her work, visit Shanna at Catena’s Salon. You will love her and your hair. ~ Posted on Citysearch

You Won't Be Disappointed! 02/15/2007

I've been a friend and customer of Shanna's for over 14 years. She's knowledgeable and is always trying to improve her skills in order to provide what her customer's want. If you're looking for a stylist who will be honest about what cut or color looks best for your hair type and face, she's your gal! Even though I come in with pictures of what I'd like, she'll let me know what my hair can and can not do, so that I'm not disappointed. Highly Recommend!!!! ~ Posted on Citysearch

Wonderful Color- Shanna = The Best! 02/15/2007

I have been going to Shanna for over 10 years now. I wouldn't dream of going to anyone else. My cuts are always the best and my color looks completely natural. Shanna is extremely professional and a barrel of fun! You never know what she's up to next. She stays current in the latest products and styles. We've been through a lot together over the years. Love her not only as my hairdresser, but as a friend. ~ Posted on Citysearch

Great Hair Cut 02/15/2007

Shanna is a cutting-edge hair stylist with years of experience. She is innovative and imaginative; you can trust that you'll get a great cut and the color will be luscious when you walk out of the salon. I have been seeing Shanna for more than ten years and highly recommend her. The salon, as a whole, offers many services, such as pedicures, manicures, and massages. They've got top-notch people at Catena's. ~ Posted on Citysearch

The Best in Austin! 02/15/2007

I’ve been seeing Shanna for 12 years now and there simply isn’t anyone else I would ever go to. She is a consummate stylist and colorist. I have referred many people, both men and women, to her and not one has ever reported back even the mildest dissatisfaction. She is a professional who takes her job and her clients very seriously; continually striving to meet the needs of us all in an honest, caring and thoughtful way. And as an added bonus, she is hysterical! I highly recommend her to everyone, go check her out, you won’t be disappointed! ~ Posted on Citysearch

It is my pleasure to refer my friends and associates to Shanna for their hair care.  She is wonderful! Shanna is creative, detail oriented, a good listener, and is always looking to improve how I look and her care of my hair.  She is well educated, up-to-date and strives for excellence in color and cut.  I love coming to see her because she makes our time together fun and I feel like a million bucks when I leave the salon."  ~ Lynn Neilli
