I Love My Extensions!

Catherine made a removable "fill" extension which matches my hair perfect. It made all the difference - my ends look full and longer. No one would ever know unless you knew me before. Impressive!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: None

Great Hair!

I started getting extensions with Catherine 3 years ago. I have fine, thin, frizzy curly hair that breaks easily and would only grow to shoulder length. We started with 2 tracks of hair to achieve length to my lower middle back. Catherine insisted I get small trims on my hair, use good products and basically take good care of my own hair. I eventually got to one track of hair to fill out my ends and add a few inches as my own hair grew to about 2-3 inches past my shoulders. My hair was still fine, frizzy, and unruly but it was healthier and did grow some. Catherine kept mentioning the Coppola Keratin treatment for my hair and that it would make my hair controllable, take out the frizz, and fill in my weak fragile ends. I was hesitant but she kept bringing it up so I finally tried it. OMG! - Coppola changed my life. I’ve since repeated the treatment 3 times. My hair doesn’t frizz ever – it is soft, wavy, and does not puff out like it use to. I let it air dry and go. I still wear 1 piece of hair extension to thicken up my hair - but my own hair is now to the middle of my back and healthy. It’s like I have someone else’s hair! Catherine goes above and beyond – truly amazing!

• Pros: Best Extensions in the States!
  

Catherine will make your dreams come true!

Catherine is very experienced and will always go above and beyond to create the hair you've always wanted. I have had extensions for about six months now and I only wish I had found her sooner. I love my hair: the quality and the color. It is also not as pricey as most other places are. I highly recommend Custom Hair by Catherine!

• Pros: Friendly, listens to your requests, experienced, creative

My hair is healthier than ever!

Catherines work is top notch! I trust Catherine 100% to protect the quality and health of my hair. Catherine cuts, and highlights my hair every 8 week. I recently tried the Kopolla keratin protein treatment which I loved over the summer months. My hair texture is fine & frizzy and this made my hair smooth shiny. I had a truly frizz free summer.

Catherine also made me a custom hair piece that integrates with the color & texture of my hair perfectly! It gives me fullness, it can be washed, curled, and is so easy to put in. I'm proof that overpaying in pricey salons is a huge waste of money. They really don't take care of your hair. Thanks Catherine!

HI Catherine!
Thanks for emailing this.  Everything is going great and I'm really enjoying them!  I can't believe how much hair I have!!  My mom came to visit on Sunday and she didn't even notice right away--then she did and was like ohhhhhhhh!  So I think that is a good thing--they look very real and the color matches perfectly!!
I also went out with a guy I was dating before I left town and curled it up and it looked amazing!! Like movie star hair! He didn't know it was an extension either.  When I put it up in a higher pony tail, I still have hair down my back--it's unbelievable!  I never thought this was possible.
Thank you thank you!! I'm so glad I've found you! I will definitely be writing you a testimonial on citysearch :)
See you on July 3rd!
Enjoy your week!
Sarah

Very high quality hair
05/12/2008 Posted by Anonymous1975

I consulted with Catherine regarding clip-in hair extensions for my wedding abroad. Although my very fine and slippery hair would not normally take extensions very well for a variety of reasons, she personally made me a clip-in with gorgeous, very high quality, soft hair that worked well with my own and taught me how I can use it without it sliding out. I have yet to use it for my wedding, but after I do, Catherine also offered to change the insertion method to invisible wire so that I can use it more easily on my own on a casual/daily basis. She obviously cares very much about the product and her clients! Thank you!!!

Pros: Quality of hair, Catherine's expertise and skill

Cons: You do pay for such high quality hair

Extensions - aways amazed!

I have worked next to Catherine for years, and in all that time, all I have ever seen is excellent work. I am always amazed when the client is finished and has hair that is perfectly matched in color and texture. I have never seen anyone have the patience and detail that she puts into her work. She uses high quality hair, and she cares enough to make sure the client understands properly, how to take care of the hair, so it can last as long as possible. The other stylists clients' are always fasinated with the process. And I have never seen anyone leave unhappy. I highly reccomend Extensions by Catherine!!!!!!!


I absolutely LOVE MY HAIR!

I’ve received tons of compliments! My hair looks really good – I was actually surprised how good it looked after having done it on my own for the first time and how easy it is to do. All the reviews I read about Catherine are right on. I finally have the long, lustrous hair I’ve always dreamed of. Thanks a million!

Pros: Everything was perfect.

Cons: none

Quality Hair Extensions
09/27/2007 Posted by ariel4477

I am very happy with my hair extensions from Catherine. The hair is soft and silky and matches perfectly. She is truly a professional in all aspects of her work. I also have to say that her prices for the quality of work and hair are really a great value. She should be charging more! I really shopped around and did a lot of research. I also have a friend who paid a lot more money and the hair she received is falling out in less than a few months and overall does not look natural as it is dry and does not blend well. Needless to say, I have recommended Catherine to her.

Pros: Excellent value for quality hair extensions.

 

I am so thankful I found Catherine! I previously had hair extensions and had breakage from the bonding. It was a nightmare! I was desperate to have any kind of look. A friend referred me to Catherine since she has many years experience working with hair extensions. Catherine was patient and very precise about what could be done to my hair. The integrity of my hair was her first priority and she is very knowledgeable about hair extension techniques. I could not believe my eyes when my extensions were finished. My hair looked healthy, shiny, and was the length I wanted in the first place. The color and texture matched perfectly. Her technique has not damaged my own hair as it is growing out healthy and shiny. I’ve had the same extension hair for 7 months and it still looks healthy, shiny, and natural. She is a master!

• Pros: Professional, knowledgeable, integrity
• Cons: None

Besst and Most Knowledgeable Ever!

I would recommend Catherine to anyone. I had a terrible experience with my hair extensions and catherine was able to help. She is so knowledgeable about hair extensions and makes you feel at ease! My hair was so soft and beautiful, nobody believed it was hair extensions!

I first went to Catherine for hair extensions because I saw a girl with incredibly silky, beautiful,long hair walking down the street and asked her where she got her hair done. She told me it was hair extensions from Catherine and I was shocked. I had seen other people's hair extensions before and this girl's hair was nothing like those. So, I went to Catherine for a consultation and it was so worth it. Catherine is truly an artist and the ultimate professional. She spent time asking me what I was comfortable with and trying different styles and lengths with my own hair before we decided on one. She did not push or try to sell me and it became clear that she is a detailed perfectionist, takes immense pride in her work and really cares that her clients get exactly what they want. The process she uses is unique, simple and and extremely long-lasting. I couldn't believe how amazing my hair looked. Nobody, I mean NOBODY had any clue I had extensions. Jaws dropped. Many people told me they were the best they had ever seen. And, because Catherine is a master at cutting and coloring hair, she styled and shaped my extensions to fit my mood when I came back for trims. I HIGHLY recommend Catherine for anything to do with your hair. She is an experienced, caring expert who makes sure that you walk out of the salon ecstatic and beautiful.

• Pros: Custom consulting, experienced, professional and friendly service

Unbelievable Hair Extensions!

I now have a full healthy head of hair!!! My own hair is thin and stringy. Catherine filled out my own hair with beautiful extension hair that matches perfectly. She also did my highlights and a cut. The color is rich and natural which left my hair in better condition. It is the best ever! What a difference-truly amazing! I feel like a new person!!

Quality is Everything to me, I asked for 'The Best', and I got it

Catherine has done my hair for over 7 years...not only my extensions but my color and highlights as well. The quality of the hair in the extensions is what I noticed first.....Catherine has the highest quality in extensions I have ever seen. They last longer too. I have very fine, soft hair. Catherine made sure to blend the exact mix of Italian and european hair for my extensions to blend perfectly with my own hair. I met Catherine while modeling in NYC, and now that I have relocated to Los Angeles & Santa Fe, I still order my extensions from her when I am in town...as I am not willing to sacrafice quality on any level. The hype of 'trademark' extensions brands did not work for me, as the quality just was NOT there. Catherine does 'custom' work, and the realism is beyond compare....I will never go to anyone else.

• Pros: Finding 'quality' hair extensions is no easy task, this lady is a PRO
• Cons: none

Incredible Hair Extensions!!!

Amazing hair extensions!!! Catherine is truly an artist!! I have been getting hair extensions for years and hers are the best!!

Catherine was my third try at hair extensions. I wanted hair extensions to have a longer, fuller look for my wedding. I started with individuals. I paid a lot of money only to find out that in less than 3 months (not the “up to 6 months” I was told), I had to completely start over. The color was also a little different than my own hair which was definitely noticeable. I went to someone else and tried again and ended up with extensions that were not full enough, long enough, and the color was not exact. I also didn’t like the fact that with individual bonding, the removal process was pulling out my hair along with the extension hair and you can see and feel the individual bonding pieces over my whole head which bothered me when sleeping. My wedding was fast approaching and I was panicking. I found Catherine on the internet and made a consultation appt. I have to say, “Wow!” What a different experience from start to finish. Catherine is truly someone who “cares” about her work. She is very methodical about making everything “perfect”. I was very nervous by the time I went to see her and she went above and beyond to assure me that I was going to get what I wanted – longer, fuller, luxurious looking hair. And most importantly, she delivered. She also did beautiful highlights on my roots and corrected the brassy tone throughout my ends. I strongly recommend checking this lady out.
