GREAT HAIRCUT
by hayley grant
I went to Shanna for the first time yesterday and it was perfect. I got bangs for the first time since I was about 8 and went in not sure how the bangs would look, but came out ecstatic!!!!
She was very honest and straightforward about what she was doing and also other ways you could achieve the same look at home.
I am very picky about my hair and I have been with the same hairdresser since I was about 7, but she is in Lubbock and well I have successfully found my Austin professional!!!!!!
- Pros: everything from the cut to the overall feel of the salon
Honest and GREAT Color
by Julie Griffin
Shanna is great with color, she's done mine twice now, once for a challenging strawberry blonde color and another for a reddish brunette. Both times, Shanna was honest about what was possible and what would work and did not disappoint with her color formulas.
Shanna is friendly and professional and I plan to continue going to her.... which is a compliment, I tend to be quite picky with hair color and stylists!
- Pros: Very honest about what's possible and what isn't.
SHANNA IS A CURLY GIRL'S BEST FRIEND!
by slbrannen
I have had two great hair stylists in the past. They are few are far between...it has been 15 years since my hair has looked like I wanted. Shanna did wonders for my hair cut, textue and color. My hair was curly, fine, dry, and over colored when I saw Shanna for the first time last week. My only request was a natural color and hair that wasn't frizzy. What Shanna gave me was a beautiful head of curls that was the perfect color! All I did was see Shanna - she did the rest! Thank you, Shanna!
- Pros: Curly hair and color expert
She's great for curly hair
by Mary J austin
Went to Shanna today for the first time. I have very curly hair that has become dry and thinner in the past few years. I was afraid to cut it shorter because it might just frizz. Shanna listened to my concerns, looked at the photos I brought with me of possible cuts, gave me her opinion and then gave me a great cut. It is hard to find someone who can cut curly hair well, I recommend her highly!
My Complete Trust!!
by Loopita
I've gone to Shanna for cuts only since I found her. We talked about color on one of my visits to her. I expressed the nervousness of it, being that I haven't colored my hair in 6yrs! I let her know what I liked, she let me know what look I could pull off. Needless to say I love it! Not a drastic change, something simple, but enough to see a difference. I LOVE IT SHANNA!!! I will definately keep it up and not only does she have my full trust (cut & color) but after seeing my color my sister now is trusting that I found the perfect sytlist :)!! She will be calling you soon for a hair appt herself ;)
Thank you again!!!
- Pros: She Can Do Everything w/Perfection!!
- Cons: None!!
Awesome lady with incredible talent
by msprocyk
Shanna is very professional and makes you feel very comfortable. I went to Shanna after having my hair burned off after being backdrafted by a fireplace. It took me about six months to finally go to a professional, and she made me feel very comfortable. We had a consultation and she got me in the beginning of the following week to apply the extensions. SHe had chosen the perfect colors to match my hair, was very pleasant and professional, and put in my new extensions in just a little over an hour. I love my new hair! I was able to get out of the shower and only blowdry my hair, scrunching it, and had to do little else. It looks and feels wonderful and was well worth the expense. I will go back when needed and have them put back back in.
- Pros: Best experience in getting hair extensions
- Cons: Couldn't give you one.
My new color guru
by JaneE
You only try a new hairdresser when you are unhappy with the one you went to last and that has been the case with my poor hair. You would think that people who DO alter other people's haircolor would be fairly adept at finding a color that remotely makes their client look and feel good, but this must not always be the case.
With my unhappily & oddly darkened chopped-up scary hair, I knew I had to try again and so I looked for places near my office. Hair therapy? That sounded promising so I called and left a message.
The desperation in my voice must have been evident, because she called right back said she would squeeze me in. I walked into her little place and immediately felt great vibes. With my extremely fine hair the cut is just as important as the color and Shanna's color & cut are perfect, correcting months of hacked up tresses. She knows what she is doing. Period.
She is moving soon to a new location, so I guess that means a little further for me to drive but I am signing on for repeats and have zero regrets.
Shanna had just finished hair extensions on another client when I came for my second visit. She told me after they left or I would NEVER have known! Kinda made me think--- hmmmm maybe I need long hair! I will ask my hair therapist at my next visit & Shanna will know what's right.
I almost didn't want to write this because I don't want to have problems getting the appointment times I want, but since has she pre-booked me-- I think I will share. GO! SEE HER! NOW!
- Pros: Listens! Perfect results! 100% Positive!
- Cons: Moving further away (better surroundings!)

I used to cut hair
by HavinFun
I used to cut hair, and I am very picky about my stylists. Shanna far exceeds my expectations. She is pleasant, professional, and very talented. I am glad that a friend referred me to her. I am a regular in her chair now! I have never been happier with my hair. Thanks, Shanna!

Thank you ! I love my job, I think it shows!
I visited Shanna for the first time yesterday.
by kevdebreed
I was pleased to find that she was very professional. When I told her I was ready for a change, she recommended a type of cut that suited my hair type. I felt very comfortable with her style and technique. She also gave good advice about how I could use some her styling techniques at home. I am very happy with the results.

What I've been waiting for!
by fc1027
I have been all over the place since moving to college looking for "that special hair experience"... and most of them ended in disappointment! Shanna offers advice on what to do, makes you feel comfortable, but most importantly she LISTENS to what YOU want. I haven't made any big changes in a long time but I think the next I go... I just might see what advice she has for me! I love my color, the cut, and my new bangs! FABULOUS!!
- Pros: listens, offers advice
- Cons: nada
