"Catie is a dream! I first met Catie when she did my sister’s wedding hair and makeup over 10 years ago! We have stuck with her ever since. Her artistry is unmatched. She is so sweet and fun. I have left her salon happy and feeling fabulous every time! Willow Salon is a beautiful location that makes you feel so calm. I’m so happy Catie will be doing my wedding hair and makeup this summer!"

"What a delight to have discovered Catie and Willow Salon! I am literally thrilled to have found a place that is the oasis of care, knowledge and expertise that I have wanted for a very long time. Aesthetically the space is exquisite with a conscious gorgeous array of decor, spread out rooms for every aspect of self care. Waiting, consulting, styling, washing, and even a space for perusing carefully selected items from gemstones to creative accessories and hair care. Catie herself is a burst of positive energy that comes straight from her core, radiating genuine warmth and a desire for authentic connection. The kind of woman that makes you feel you have a new friend for life. And she gave me the best haircut I can ever remember having. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word, combining craft technique and heart ......"

"Catieeeeee is just amazing is every way. My 1st time getting my hair done by the one & only Catie Bane. She educated me on hair care & walk me through the process. She provided me with tips to keep my hair healthy. The ambiance in her salon is gorgeous & therapeutic. She provided a luxury experience for me. I left feeling beautiful & confident."

"Both Catie Bane and Willow Salon are magical. I have been going to Catie for over 8 years. I have followed her through a few moves within CT. I would travel to another state if it was the only way to have services done by her. I have never trusted anyone with my hair as much as I do Catie. Catie not only knows exactly what it is you're asking for, but she takes the time to explain to you her thought process. She teaches you her techniques so you follow along with the journey of transformation from the moment you walk in the door. There have been a number of times I joined my partner during his appointments at Willow Salon, just to be IN the space. I would bring work to do, or books to read. The atmosphere is indescribable. It is soothing yet exciting, inspirational, and always leaves me in awe. Catie is innovative and always provides the energy like I'm the most special person when sitting in her chair! I continue to enjoy watching Catie create new avenues within Willow Salon!"

"I can never say enough good things about Catie Bane and Willow Salon! Willow Salon is a gem of a space. You walk in and you are completely taken away into a place of calm and a place of peace. Given that it's a salon, you prepare yourself to leave beautiful, but you're embodied in that feeling from the moment you arrive. Behind the salon is Catie Bane, an absolute mastermind and bringing people out to their most beautiful self. I've trusted her with my hair and makeup for years and there's no one I would be in better hands with! She creates looks that I never felt were possible and emphasizes the things I love most about myself. It's an easy decision to go back and see her. I've also worked closely with Catie on a long list of weddings and events. Hair and makeup begins the day and it's a very intimate service, considering that artist is quite literally in your face. It's essential to feel comfortable with someone and Catie creates that connection quickly and easily. Beyond that, she works to understand who you are so she can bring you out in the best ways possible on a widely remembered day.
