    I always have an amazing experience with Gina! The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and truly talented. My hair has never looked better—Gina listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. The salon itself is beautiful, clean, and has such a welcoming atmosphere.I also tried their tanning services, and I’m so impressed! The results were even and natural-looking. Whether you’re looking for a fresh new hairstyle or a perfect glow, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

    Jena is truly incredible, and Catalyst Salon is the ultimate one-stop shop for all your glow-up needs! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy—exactly the kind of space you want to be in when you’re treating yourself.I go to Jena for both spray tans and waxing, and she absolutely kills it every time. Her spray tans are flawless—natural, even, and never streaky or orange. She really takes the time to match your skin tone and make sure you leave with that perfect sun-kissed glow.And her waxing skills? Just as impressive. She’s quick, precise, and somehow makes what could be an uncomfortable experience feel totally relaxed and comfortable. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and easygoing personality make the whole process smooth and even enjoyable.If you’re looking for top-tier results in a chill, friendly, and expertly run space, Catalyst Salon with Jena is it. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

    Jena at Catalyst Tanning Salon is amazing! She made me feel totally comfortable, and my tan looked so natural—I’ve gotten tons of compliments. I’ve booked for special events, but now I’ll keep coming back just for a boost in confidence. Hands down the best tanning experience in Orlando. Jena truly knows her stuff!

    Jena provided an exceptional spray tan experience. Her studio is well-equipped, had everything I needed for my spray tan and her space gives such a welcoming feel. The convenience of a large parking area further enhanced the positive experience. Highly recommended.

    Gina is hands down the best in the business! Not only is she incredibly talented and skilled at her craft, but she also has a wonderful personality that makes every appointment feel like catching up with a good friend. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered great suggestions that complemented my style. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and I always leave feeling confident and beautiful. I cant recommend her enough!

    Absolutely hands down the BEST salon! Jenna and her team are amazing. They are very knowledgeable and very professional and do the best job in town! I only wonder why I don’t do this more often?

  • Review 7 (2025-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    I will absolutely be back! I went for a spray tan before a trip and it was such a smooth simple and friendly experience! The girls were wonderful and walked me through every step!

  • Review 8 (2025-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    It was my first time doing a tan and I was really nervous about it. Ms. Jena was amazing she walked me through the whole thing. I LOVE my tan.

  • Review 9 (2024-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    I recently had the pleasure of having my hair done by Hunter, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She applied a full set of tape-in extensions and executed a root melt to blend my natural color perfectly without any additional bleach. My hair feels revitalized and looks absolutely stunning! Hunters expertise and attention to detail made me feel like Paris Hilton. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their hair game. Thank you, Hunter, for your amazing work—I’m in love with my hair!

    Anna is fantastic, professional, intuitive and creative. I don’t trust anyone else to color my hair, and every experience I’ve had with her, I’ve been so happy with the results. She highlighted and styled my hair for my wedding.

  • Review 11 (2024-04-25 - Rating: 5)

    I have been seeing Jena for 6 years and have never gone to anyone else. She does the best spray tans/wax and I have always gotten so many compliments. I recently had Kylar give me a spray tan and it turned out AMAZING. I am always so scared to have someone else spray me but Kylar knows what she is doing and I would highly recommend her!

  • Review 12 (2024-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    I was preparing to be in a winter wedding, yet wanted a bit of that summertime glow. This was my first tanning experience and Jena made me feel so at ease! She was knowledgeable, professional, and my tan turned out very natural looking. I would totally trust Jena with a future tanning experience.

  • Review 13 (2023-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    Jena is THE BEST! Spray tans always come out flawless, and she’s very skilled with waxing. She makes the entire experience very comfortable and not intimidating at all whatsoever. I’d recommend her to anyone!

  • Review 14 (2024-02-02 - Rating: 5)

    Best tan in Orlando! My first time with Jena was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and gave me the most beautiful and seamless tan. Will definitely be back soon!

    I went to Catalyst Salon to do my hair for my anniversary and Kaitlyn was amazing! She satisfied the look I wanted and made it better! Highly recommend Kaitlyn! She is sweet, punctual, and will make sure she gets what you came in for!

    Anna is absolutely fabulous!! She is my go-to for all my hair care needs and products. I always get compliments after getting my hair done and for months afterwards. She has always done a wonderful job with my vivid and natural color requests. I look forward to all of our appointments- highly recommend this talented artist.

  • Review 18 (2022-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    I got my hair cut by Kaitlyn who was not only an amazing hair stylist, but also a very personable and kind person. She delivered on exactly what I was looking for!She is so knowledgeable in her profession & I definitely recommend her to anyone! She holds the key to balancing being a great hair stylist, both professional and knowledgeable & kind and sweet. I enjoyed the conversations we had during that process! I will definitely be going back to see her again!

  • Review 19 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    I have been going here for almost 2 years for brazilian waxing & have absolutely no regrets! Jena is extremely sweet and very fast. They have started doing jelly mask and vagacials which are AMAZING!! They are a game changer. I was healed the moment the mask came off. I 100% recommend.

  • Review 20 (2023-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    It’s a great experience! If you are looking for a knowledgeable, skilled, and resourceful hairstylist, Anna Henderson is amazing at what she does. She will take you where you wanna be with little to no hair damage. The whole experience is so relaxing, can’t wait for my next appointment.

  • Review 21 (2019-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    The spray tans are amazing!! Jena does a wonderful job every time and I always look great! She’s so much fun to talk to and I will only come here now! I would recommend to anybody looking for a good spray tan.

    Jena is absolutely amazing! She sprayed me for my wedding and it was flawless! I will only get a spray tan done by her! She not only does a fantastic job but she makes you feel so comfortable! If I could give more stars I would! Absolutely amazing! Thanks Jena!

    Jena is the best!!! Ive never gotten a spray tan and she made me feel comfortable and confident walking out! She is amazing at what she does and I would highly recommend!! Definitely will be back for more!

  • Review 26 (2019-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve had the pleasure of watching Jena build her dream for the past 3+ years and it is so inspiring and beautiful to witness. She truly has a heart of gold and an uncanny talent of making others feel their absolute best with what she does. This salon is not just about hair, lashes, waxing and tans. It’s about bringing out the real you, the beautiful you inside. I love this place , I love the vibe, I love the girls, I love the smiles I’m greeted with and the toasty glowing tan and smooth skin I leave with. I love everything about it and would recommend it a million times over. Thanks Catalyst for setting a new standard in the beauty community!!!

  • Review 27 (2022-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    It was my first time here & I Loved it! Must go! Got a Underarm Wax by Julianna who was awesome! She was super sweet and fast! & the other two girls at the salon were also so lovely, helpful and professional. Definitely coming back for a Brazilian and hair services !:)

  • Review 28 (2022-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    Julianna was the best!!! Hands down my favorite person I’ve been too for a Brazilian aka the most painful waxing service of all. She made the service as quick and painless as it could have possibly been. Highly recommend her she’s sweet, gentle, and so easy to talk to!!!

  • Review 29 (2020-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve had many spray tans and Jena by far does the best job of anyone in Orlando. The formula she uses doesn’t leave any weird stinky smells. The color is gorgeous and looks so natural. I immediately bought a membership since I was so happy with the results. Highly recommend!

  • Review 30 (2019-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    My all time favorite spray tan place!!! The atmosphere here is so lively and I always look forward to coming and talking with Jena! My spray tan always comes out looking good! I would highly recommend coming here for a good spray tan! Plus Jena is beautiful!

  • Review 31 (2020-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    Gina and Jena are wonderful humans, business leaders, and professionals. Gina has a wonderful talent for color mixing, and is great at understanding the texture of my hair. Jena (aka therapist) listens to her clients, and always makes me feel comfortable when I walk in. Both help me to leave more confident and beautiful than when I arrive, and not because of their services, but because they are genuine. Thanks ladies!

  • Review 32 (2022-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    This is a great little salon! My hair stylist is Kaitlyn and she always does an amazing job. She makes you feel comfortable and asks questions to be sure you get what you came in for. Definitely recommend her!

  • Review 33 (2020-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    I can not rave about catalyst salon ENOUGH!!!! I started going to Jena to get my spray tans and she is a queen and the best at what she does!!!I also started seeing Stephanie to do my hair and I will never go anywhere! She is so talented and precise!!!!This salon is a one stop shop for any beauty needs and I’ve never felt more welcomed at a salon.

  • Review 34 (2020-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    I havent changed my hair style for a good 15 years. Ive always had black curly hair. Stephanie did such an awesome job on my hair. I now have caramel highlights. It looks really good. She was not just professional. She had different ideas and never tried to hike up prices. I can tell that she loves what she does. My hair came out great!! Definitely my new hair stylest.

  • Review 35 (2023-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    I got a Brazilian and a vajacial from Jena, and I’m 6 months pregnant so normally the wax makes me feel so irritated and red! But the vajacial soothed my skin so much! I felt amazing after! I’m obsessed

  • Review 36 (2023-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    If you are looking for the perfect, most even, and flawless tan look no further! Catalyst is the cutest tanning salon with the most awesome staff. I come in there looking like Casper and leave looking like jlo! 10/10 would recommend!

  • Review 37 (2018-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Gina at Catalyst was fantastic! I got a Keratin treatment and it was honestly the best, most relaxed salon appointment Ive ever had. Shes punctual, kind, communicative, talented and no-nonsense (in the best way). I live in DC, but I 100 percent wouldnt mind taking a trip home to Florida just to see her. Thanks so much, Gina!

  • Review 38 (2018-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    Catalyst Salon is my favorite place to go for all my beauty needs. They truly offer a little bit of everything. Jena is the only person I trust with waxing! Waxing in general can be a painful and awkward experience, but now that I know someone as experienced and personable as Jena, I actually look forward to my waxing appts.

  • Review 39 (2019-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Jena has been taking care of me for about 10 years now. She always takes great care to pay attention to detail and make one feel like the most valued important customer she will have. She treats everyone with kindness and respect. There’s no one else I’d rather have take care of me.

  • Review 40 (2020-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    Jenas spray tans are so realistic that my mother scolded me for not wearing sunscreen. Gina does a fantastic job on my hair, which is not the easiest to cut. Love this salon!

  • Review 41 (2018-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    I have been getting spraytans done by Jenna for a couple years now! She always does a great job they look so natural and she’s always so friendly and professional! I would definitely recommend her.

  • Review 42 (2020-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    Catalyst is the best place to get a spray tan in Orlando! You can get two spray tans for $50 a month, considering a spray tan cost $40-$50 on average, you cannot beat that deal. Jenna is amazing and does such a great job!

  • Review 43 (2021-05-26 - Rating: 5)
