CAT PANEK

Cat grew up in Michigan’s Metro Detroit area, where she discovered her passion for the beauty industry at an early age. She began her professional career behind the chair in 2008, continually refining her craft and developing her approach to personalized hair. After years of building her independent beauty brand, Cat relocated to Austin in 2019, bringing her experience and creativity to a new city and community.

With more than 17 years of industry experience, Cat is a Master Stylist specializing in customized cutting and color. Some of her favorite work includes razor cuts, textured cuts, pixies, shags, and lived-in color techniques. She has trained with Wella and L’Oréal Professionnel and expanded her expertise in curly cutting techniques and product knowledge through Original Moxie Hair Care.

Cat’s work is rooted in creativity, attention to detail, and a genuine understanding of each client’s individual style. She believes great hair should feel personal, effortless, and uniquely suited to the person wearing it.

Above all, Cat values the relationships she builds behind the chair and is committed to creating a welcoming, elevated salon experience where every client feels comfortable, understood, and confident in their look.
