Alana Ricca, Founder of The Studios at Katana Spa and Co-Owner of Katana Salon and Spa is a Master Esthetician with over two decades of experience. Her extensive resume includes many facets of the industry giving her a competitive edge in her field. As a preferred make-up artist for HGTV, Alana has had the privilege of working on The Ellen Degeneres Show, HGTV’s Dream Home, Urban Oasis, and Green Homes to name a few.
 

Alana’s true passion is working closely with her clients to tailor their individual needs to achieve their beauty goals. Her free-lance work with top beauty brands such as Smashbox, Lancome, Fresh and Glo coupled with her certifications with SkinCeuticals, Dermalogica and The Dermal Institute, allows her to stay on top of trends and cutting edge treatments giving her clients piece of mind that they are getting the best products and services available.
 

Her most recent endeavor - The Studios at Katana was born out of desire to create a space where talented beauty experts could be empowered to thrive and grow their own business while still having access to resources and brand recognition. 
 

But her greatest source of pride is giving back to her community through The Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, Susan G Komen Foundation, Family Reach, Pan-Mass Challenge, Boston Children’s Hospital &  Make-a-Wish Foundation.  The Studios At Katana Spa offer support to smaller organizations as well and are proud of the difference that they make in other’s lives that extend beyond beauty.

 

Alana is thrilled to welcome you to her newest endeavour!
