Poor Customer Service - Did not resolve issues

by jessica c.

I have been to Salon Moxie a total of 3 times, 3rd being my last. My services all 3 times have been the same, blonde full highlights, a toner, and a wet cut, as suggested by the stylist to optain the result I wanted, to be a cooler blonde. The first time, I was pleased with my my outcome. I showed my stylist a picture of what I am trying to accomplish and we were clear on this expectation. The second time, I felt that my hair was slightly overtoned and I had regrowth at about 2 weeks where I wanted to run to the salon and get a touch up. (Note, I have been dying my hair blonde for 8 years now). After my 3rd service, I was EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED. I mentioned that I wanted my highlights chunkier, and they were still foiled thin. My hair was more overtoned, leaving my blonde locks with a dull, dark finish that completely killed the vibrance and color of the highlights. I went home and cried, I am still so unhappy. I called the salon and came in for a consultation to see how we can get my hair back to the color I wanted. We decided on waiting a week to let my hair rest. The new stylist agreed that what was done was not what I wanted and it can be corrected. 1 week later, I opted not to come back and called the salon, explaining that I don't want to damage my hair further. I spoke to the salon manager, who basically told me that what I asked for was what i got the first time around, that there was nothing wrong with my hair, and that the reason it came out different than usual is because of "stress, environmental change, or a switch in birth control". After 8 years of highlights, I can assure everyone reading this that although this is possible, it is not the case here. She continued to say that in the stylists' professional opinion, that was the best they could do. I asked how it is justifiable that I spent $200+ on this visit and hate my hair. She simply suggested having a consultation before we do color "next time". On all 3 visits, I had a consultation with my stylist. She would not give me a discount if I decided to come back, because according to her, I "got what I asked for" This woman did not even get a close look at my hair. My relationship with this salon is now ruined, and I am stuck with hair I hate for another month, and I need to find another salon. PLEASE, especially if you are going blonde, Do not risk going to this salon. My hair has also never been this dry from previous color treatments. I can understand having results that do not meet someone's expectations, but to not side with a customer who was practically in tears over their hair at a redo consultation is poor customer service in my opinion. I look forward to trying a new salon and liking my hair again.

Can Get the Same Cut at CostCutters

by Anonymous

Like everyone else on this site, I moved to Raleigh from somewhere else and left behind my preferred salon in the big city. Sometimes a break up with a man is not as devastating as leaving behind your favorite hair salon. When you move somewhere new you hope you can find somewhere at least equal to what you left behind, if not better. So off you go to a new salon with fingers crossed and your breath held that all will be well, knowing that you will have to kiss a few frogs along the way.

I tried Salon Moxie, because I live in the area and I liked what the Salon's claim was via the website-Hip & a Great Hair Cut. They may have the hip and trendy look down but, the stylist, Stacie skills can be described as adequate at best. Her cut was not at the high level of skill that I was expecting. Stacie was very nice, but not only was the quality of the cut something that I could have gotten at Cost Cutters, But, the stylist lacks the ability to listen, despite me telling her three times I wanted to keep the length of my hair long she cut my long hair to my shoulders-Not what I asked for or what we spoke about together. Therefore, due to my long hair being cut into a long bob I won't be back and I like my edges to be sharper and not beauty school blunt.

My Verdict: Could do better.

pro: nice looking salon and good products. Pleasant staff.
con: cheap looking hair cut and stylists inability to listen.

fresh talent

by geoffdunkak

I had a bad cut from a very well known salon downtown and had not been to a salon in 8 years. OK, I realized that's pretty extreme, but it was a really bad cut, and at the same time my wife and I became parents of twins so all extra money went into diapers and my long, curly hair went into a ponytail.

My initial consultation with Cara was great. When it was time for my cut she carefully went through my "wants" and explained ways she could allow me to revitalize my curls and clean things up. She is a TIGI trained stylist and it showed. She knew exactly what to do and my cut came out great. Thanks!

Pros: stylists listen, friendly people, nice atmosphere

Cons: none

Great place, nice atmosphere

by chainfyre

I received a gapped-up haircut from another salon that I won't mention. Went here and Patrick was able to fit me in and not only fix my cut, but show me a whole new look for me.

Like I said, knowledgeable people and each person is more friendly than the last.

Pros: Friendly/knowledgeable

Cons: Can't think of any

A great place for a cute new do!

by Keri1277

I love the feel of the salon and how all of the people there are so friendly. Dana cuts and colors my hair and she also cuts my daughters hair who is only 6. I have been told that my hairstyle is one that is hard to master but Dana does an amazing job and always takes her time until she gets it just perfect. We change up my color almost every time that I am there, and like the cut, she always gets it right. I seem to get compliments on the color and cut everywhere that I go.

Pros: Excellent service, clean and friendly atmosphere

Finally, a salon that listens!

by ear10

After too many awful haircuts, I stumbled across Salon Moxie and to my relief (and my hairs); I found a salon and stylist that listens to what I want! Everyone is so friendly, the atmosphere is awesome and I had a GREAT stylist (mad props Dana!)? I would highly recommend Salon Moxie to anyone who wants to look amazing and have a great experience!

Great service, awesome cut/color

by cole12885

This is the second salon in Raleigh I've visited and I'm definitely coming back. I love how the salon is styled...it looks like a very chic upscale salon, but the prices are in line with salons that don't spend that much on their appearance. The receptionist was very nice. I really liked the fact that my stylist, Cara, asked me what I've been doing to my hair (how I normally color and cut it) and asked me what products I use and how I normally style it. I've actually never been asked that by a stylist and it really made me realize she wanted my cut and color to work for me and my lifestyle. She did a really great job...I love the cut and color, and I'm very picky about my hair! This is the first salon I would recommend to a friend since moving to Raleigh!

Pros: Friendly staff, great service

Cons: None

Great hairtcut, very good customer service

by ksbkd00

I went to salon moxie for the frst time, after being disappointed by some other salon experiences. Jenifer was my stylist and she did a great job. I had taken a picture of the haircut and style that I wanted with me and that helped a too. I had a $10 off coupon from citysearch. so I had a great haircut for $25. Their regular cost is $35 for a cut and I have already booked my next appointment. The receptionist was friendly too and I had no pressure to buy any product used on my hair. I highly recommend this salon.

Thank you!!!!!!!

by JackieCD81

I've had long hair my whole life. When I finally decided to chop it all off, I was honestly a little terrified. I walked into Salon Moxie to get a feel for the place and possibly make an appointment, my fears were immediately put to rest.

A friend and coworker had recently been to Salon Moxie for a new style and suggested I check it out. I'm glad she did!!

Jennifer made the whole process amazingly easy. She's wonderful! I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew I wanted something different. I took her advice and I'm glad I did! Never in my life have I been happy with even a trim, but Jennifer made me ecstatic! I can't stop touching my new hair, and love that it's perfect for me and my lifestyle. (And guess what else? It makes me look younger & sexier too!!)

Thank you SO much! I will DEFINITELY be back!!

Pros: Great stylists, good atmosphere, professional and excellent!

Cons: Cash tips only

Great salon and service!

by Brian838

I have been to Salon Moxie several times and each time I have been very happy with the service and results! The stylist I have been to and keep returning to is Kellie S. Most importantly, she listens very well and doesn't deviate from the discussed outcome, as is the story most people experience a few times in life when the stylist just keeps cutting...or doesn't communicate well...
Anyway, Kellie is awesome and she did a clean style for my wedding day in August of '08 (the groom's gotta stand out, right?). My beloved bride approved of it enthusiastically! BIG style points to Kellie for helping me make the most of our special day and being friendly and relaxed as well.

I'm glad I read some of these reviews because it reminds me I need to bring a cash tip next time.
The music in the salon may be just a touch too loud, but maybe that's because we were trying to have an ongoing conversation. There were a few times I felt as if I was talking over the noise. I am also softspoken sometimes too....
I like that I was not being blinded by white flourescent bulbs and there is a lot of natural light in the salon.
The prices are competetive also, which is very nice.
May the Lord bless Kellie for being so awesome! : )

Pros: Kellie S. is a pro! service and price are great.

Cons: Music was a touch too loud...?

Worth it!

by LCRaleigh

I have gone to Salon Moxie twice & always been satisfied. The first time I brought the advertised coupon which some places turn their noses up when you bring in a coupon or gift card - not Salon Moxie. No upsell on products which is rare and appreciated. Jenna was my stylist last & she took time to talk to me about what I wanted and didn't want. They were able to get me in on a Saturday afternoon when I called Wednesday afternoon.
Be aware - they can't/don't add tip to a debit or credit card - bring cash!

Pros: Great price!

Cons: Stylists move up, so not a place to build a life-long relationship

Salon Moxie Sets the pace for other salons!

by JimShelton

. A few days ago, my daughter decided she wanted to donate her beloved pony tail to "Locks of Love". I was very proud of her decision but I quickly turned into a frazzled dad when I went online and found out that we had to have it cut, measure it, pack it properly, fill out paperwork and ship it out. I then found the link to Salon Moxie here in Raleigh. The website was easy and quick to read. I called and felt like I had ?won the jackpot? as the very kind receptionist said they did everything for us. All we had to do was come to the appointment and fill out the paper work. They were even able to make her an appointment the SAME DAY!! When my wife and daughter showed up, Jennifer, her stylist and the rest of the ?Moxie crew? made her feel like a ?rock star? and gave her a new style that is incredible! It made such an impression on my wife that she has an appointment set up for herself today with Jennifer.

Thank you Salon Moxie, Thank you Jennifer! Thanks Locks of Love!

Wondeful!

by antares1222

I had not been to a stylist in several years but my hair color was just awful so I decided to check this place out for a color correction. I am so glad I did! I was dying my hair with box color and it was supposed to be blonde, but was brassy and terrible. Aaron not only corrected my hair color, but gave me a beautiful darker blonde color with lots of dimension....a very natural look. He was very kind and reassuring, and made me feel hopeful about my hair again. I am so pleased and will definitely be back!

Great Stylist with a Great Sense of Humor: Jenna

by madlilpony

This was my first time to Salon Moxie, and Jenna and I really clicked. She had only been at the salon for a month, but seemed really knowledgeable. I came in with a couple of ideas about what I wanted, and she helped me narrow it down by thinking about what cut and color would look best with my complexion, eyes, and face. She really boosted my confidence in a shorter cut by repeatedly telling me how it would make my hair look fuller and would look great with my features. She was very knowledgeable about Redken coloring products, which she explained Moxie had recently switched to after using Wella. She understood that money was a factor and helped me choose colors that wouldn't be as obvious while growing out, so that I can go a bit longer between appointments.

The Salon is in a bit of a random location, in the North Ridge shopping center, but I like that "diamond in the rough" element. And, because it wasn't in some hyper-cool location, like Glenwood South or Five Points, it felt friendly and not intimidating. I'd recommend it to anyone, and I'd recommend Jenna has a stylist. She has a great sense of humor and kept me laughing all through my appointment!

Pros: Jenna, product selection, decor

Cons: used to paying a bit less, but i've been going out of town

Amazing style, awful receptionist

by robinsstar

i came to salon moxie recently after deciding to get a short do. something i havent had in years. My stylist sat me down and took the time to make me feel comfortable about doing this, giving me the courage and the trust in him to take the step. He was professional and was absolutely amazing at what he did. He showed me how to style my hair and again, actually took the time to make sure that i understood what he was doing. Ive never loved my hair so much and i get compliments every day. I really appreciated his expertise, professionalism and his way of making me feel comfortable. I really enjoyed my experience but the receptionist was curt and disinterested, and the stylists all seemed to be almost scared of her. Poor show for such great talent.

Pros: Stylist, knowledge, skill

Cons: receptionist

I am new to Raleigh and researched salons on citysearch for a few weeks...but finally I decided to go to Salon Moxie (it is close to my home & has many satisfied customers). I didn't regret it!! I got my hair done today by Jenna who is a new stylist at the salon, but she listened to my concerns, gave me her honest opinion on what style would work for me, and she did an excellent cut & color.

Fantastic haircut

by atorgofan

Great place! I came here on a whim (well, a whim guided by that 10 dollar off coupon) and hoped for the best. I got Lauren, who was just fabulous- trimmed up my graduated bob expertly and for once, NOT TOO SHORT! Pretty much everywhere I go, it ends up too short, but not this time. Not to mention, she was incredibly nice and fun to chat with while she cut. I didn't get any pressure to buy products as I've seen in some reviews, either. They do fill out a little form with the products they used on you that day, but no one tried to badger me into purchasing any. All in all a great experience - I'll be back for sure. The prices are good and the salon interior was lovely as well. Give it a shot if you're unsure - and ask for Lauren!

Pros: Great stylists, nice interior, good prices

Cons: Nothing really

Great Salon

by sourisdanceront

I don't know why I've waited until now after numerous trips to Moxie Salon to submit a review on this site. I see Aaron at the salon but everyone seems great! This last visit I explained I was bored of my hair style and Aaron made some small changes to ease me into a new 'do, but showed me 4 different things I could do to my hair to make it different. I've never had that great of customer service from any salon stylist that would take the time to help me to such an extent as that. Moxie Salon will leave you feeling great about your hair, great about yourself, and in such a pleasant mood. The entire staff is just pleasant. I recommend this salon to anyone looking for a new place for a haircut or color.

Great Salon!

by alpha1234

I'm new to the area and have tried so many salons, and left them all a little bummed. Now I have nothing to worry about! Salon Moxie is the best salon I've encountered in the area. The staff is super friendly, the salon is hip and fun, and there is a vibe of energy and a great team of stylists. My stylist, Aaron, did wonders for my slightly ruined color and horribly uneven cut, from all my hop-around visits in the area. I won't be going anywhere else! Go to Moxie and ask for Aaron, you'll be glad you did.

Pros: Aaron, Location, Price, Knowledge

could use some updating

by tigerd28

I would say the cut was alright, but it wasn't a cut which is the current fashion style. I mean, the cut was a little behind the times. So, maybe the salon could do a little updating on their techniques and products to become more up to date. Also, the receptionist was a little short with my 3 year old children.

Pros: value

Cons: a little behind the times in style

Michelle is Awesome!!

by Hambytina

I had previously had a hard time finding a stylist in the Triangle area because the places were either very pricey or just the typical "get em in and out" kind. A friend of mine recommended Michelle at Moxie and I went in this morning for a cut and I am very pleased and grateful to have met such a warm and knowledgeable stylist! Michelle took so much time explaining the products and how to style my hair. She had lots of suggestions on how to wear it and made me feel so beautiful. It was quite a unique experience and I am very excited about my new do! I was so impressed with Michelle that I am even going back this afternoon for a color. At last, I have found my girl!!
If you want excellent quality hair care in a warm and friendly environment, you should really try Salon Moxie! I look forward and am excited about all the future hairstyles that Michelle and I will get to experiment with in the future!

I thought the stylist did a good job initially, but when i got home, the cut was not as good as i thought. i tried this salon out because i had a coupon, i don't think i will go back and try another stylist. there was a lot of pressure to buy products. I had high expectations since this salon was so highly rated.

Cons: some stylists are better than others.

Absolutely great service!

by mommydoris

I messed up my own hair by dying it at home. Moxie took me in (this wasn't the first time I had been there) and they took care of my self-made mess. They didn't make me feel like an idiot, they were swift in assisting me with selecting a color, and even after the coloring was done and it was a tad too dark for me, Aaron (my super stylist) worked on it some more, never making me feel like I was wasting his time (like so many stylists at other salons may).
I have also taken my oldest daughter there for Locks of Love, and my two little girls have been customers of theirs.
We are all extremely pleased with their service. AND they give great massages on your head when getting your hair washed:)

Pros: Location, knowledge of staff, smiles, good hair cuts and usually a coupon can be found

Cons: uncomfortable sinks, pushing products for sale

it is a step up from the "great clips" and "cost cutters"

by mom_in_raleigh

my stylist ellen, did give a very good cut, and if you are watching your money, and not ready to pay Von Kekel prices, this is a good alternative salon to try. I did feel some pressure to purchase products recommended to me, and the reason I came to this salon is that I'm watching my pennies, other wise I would go to the high end salon, like a Von Kekel. Overall, there is talent to be found at Salon moxie, and they do have coupons in the money mailers, which, if you find one, it is worth giving this salon a try.

Pros: it was a good cut

Cons: pressure to buy products

This place is great! They do a fantastic job at a great price. Go to Brittany, she knows what she is doing and will not lead you in the wrong direction. You will walk out looking great and feeling great too. She listened to all of my concerns and gave great advice.

Perfection!

by ndnan1

I absolutely LOVE Salon Moxie! I've been two times now and will not go anywhere else. I have had both of my appointments with their stylist Aaron. I have never been happy with my color until he got a hold on my hair. He gave me exactly what I described and managed to rid of all of my brassy color left behind from years of unsuccessful highlights. My cut is perfect for my needs and much easier to manage than ever before. He worked really well with my natural curl that I have never cared for and made it FABULOUS! Not only that but also taught me all about how, why, where, and what to put in my hair and also gave me a thorough run through on what was being done to style my hair! I brought home lots of tips and tricks to styling my hair so I can finally get great results on styling my hair by myself. It's been a few weeks since my last appointment and not a day goes by without a great compliment on my new style. I would tell anyone to go to Salon Moxie!

Pros: Ambience, Cost, Stylists, Everything!

Cons: None

uneven cut

by Katieb23

I'm sorry to say that I had a similar experience to another rater with an uneven haircut. I had been there about 3 times before, and the haircuts had been done well. The last time, the haircut was so uneven that I had to go back there so someone else could fix it. I have long-ish layered hair., straight as a pin, and really easy to cut. It was as though this person forgot to cut one side. It was visible especially in the front, where on one side the front top layers were about to my nose andon the other the shortest were almost to my shoulders. I'm talking a difference of two inches here. When I went back, a different person did a great job on it and it was free. However, they were not apologetic at all, and they did not seem surprised. When she combed it up in the back, you could see the sharp slant from one side to another. The other two or three stylists there have been good, but this one I had can not be trusted. I really wanted to like it....it's closeby, good prices. But I just can't gamble on having uneven hair!

Pros: prices

Cons: skill and care of staff

Great stylists!

by rglipp

This was my second time at Moxie, and I was not disappointed at all. The first time I tried Moxie, I donated my hair to Locks of Love and received a free haircut. One of the owners, Joelle, cut my hair. She was so wonderful! Chatted with me the entire time and was a great conversationalist. I was nervous because I was having 14 inches cut off , but she did a fantastic job on my hair!

The second time I went, Nichole styled my hair. She was also so nice, and she did an amazing job on my hair. I brought in pictures and asked her opinion about them. She was so enthusiastic about the styles I picked, which made me feel so good and never nervous about having my hair cut short again!

The lady at the front desk was also super friendly. When I was done with my haircut, she loved it and was so excited about it.

The price of Moxie cannot be beat. Usually when you go to a salon you pay at least $60 and up for a hair style. Not at Moxie! It is worth every penny.

Also, the hair stylists are so good about explaining to you what they are doing when they style your hair after the cut, so you know how to do it when you go home. Wonderful!

I have definitely found the salon that I will be using for all of my hair needs.

Pros: Price, Friendliness of staff, skill

Cons: Tips must be in the form of cash or check. You cannot add it to your credit card.

best stylist around

by bdavid54

I highly recommend you see Nichole at Salon Moxie. I decided to cut almost 8 inches off my hair and I was extremely nervous. My hair looks amazing. Nichole took the time to look at pictures and discuss all my options with me. She explained what styles would work best for my hair type and gave me a lesson on how to style it when I get home. It has been a few days and I love my hair more and more each day. I have told all my friends to go see her. I feel so pretty. Thank you!

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Nichole LuMaye made me look ten years younger!

by linksys78

I have never had my hair colored and did not know what to expect. I left everything up to Nichole and I was amazed by the results. My hair looks beautiful. I have not felt this good in years. My husband and co workers can not stop complimenting me on it. She has an eye for it and knew exactly what to do.
She is so sweet and the conversation is great. She pampers you from the time you get in until the time you leave. I will be telling everyone to go see her. Even my sister from Maryland has booked an appointment.
Thanks Nichole

Pros: nichole, the price, the salon

Cons: none

Check out Salon Moxie!

by vikingcat

Salon Moxie offers a unique experience suited to your individual style. All the stylists are extremely talented and knowledgeable. The vibe is wonderful and very hip. I'm glad I can get the style I desire without having to break the bank. In fact, other salons charge more but I don't get the same level of service or satisfaction with them. I recommend Salon Moxie to everyone!

Pros: Everything, great pricing for expert services

Best Haircut I've Ever Had

by broadway_baby18

I wrote another review about Haircolorexperts at Cameron Village about my botched haircut there, so if you're interested in my story, check that out. After trying to find ways to style my horrible haircut from there and still feeling horrible about my hair for over a month, I decided to venture back to citysearch and try to find another salon. Salon Moxie popped up, and a friend told me that she loved it there, so I decided to give it a shot.

When I arrived, I was 15 minutes early and the receptionist told me my stylist was on her break, so it would be a few minutes. She called Stacie, my wonderful stylist, and Stacie actually returned from her break early for me! That was the first sign that this was going to be a positive experience.

I explained the botched haircut to Stacie and basically asked her how she could help me without cutting too much length from my hair because I wanted to keep it long. We talked for a solid 5 minutes about how I wanted my hair to look, what I liked and didn't like, and the entire time she was studying my hair, feeling the texture and giving me ideas and her thoughts. We made the decision about how to cut it and then she went to work after a nice relaxing shampoo.

She was extremely friendly and fun to talk to while cutting my hair, and I never once felt nervous about her taking the scissors to my hair. Once she had dried and styled it, I almost cried tears of joy. Not only had she somehow taken a completely botched haircut and made it look amazing, but she gave me the best haircut I have ever had! My hair was beautifully shaped for my face, it was bouncy and healthy looking, the layers were soft and texturized and she still managed to only cut about 2-3 inches off my length!

If you are looking for an amazing haircut at the best price in town (only $35!!!) please don't try any other salon - go to see Stacie at Salon Moxie! I will no longer shop around for salons, I have found the perfect stylist.

Pros: Stylist knowledge and skill, considerate/friendly staff, price

Cons: NONE!

Best Hair Cut I've ever had

by schererjen

I recently had my hair cut and highlighted by Mary Taylor and I can say with total confidence that it is the BEST haircut I've ever had. She did exactly what I asked for and offered her own suggestions as well, which were much appreciated. Even though I was getting a fairly basic, short bob and highlight, she took over 3 hours highlighting, cutting and styling it. She also made sure to show me some tips with the straightening iron on how to style it and what products to use. By using those tips, I've actually been able to recreate the look she gave me in the salon - a first for me!!! I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments I've gotten on my hair. Even from my husband who is typically a long hair fan. That was my first experience with Mary Taylor and I will definitely book with her again. The day I went in was her last day with Salon Moxie because she'd been promoted to Samuel Cole. I would highly recommend this stylist and will be following her to Samuel Cole in the future!!!

Pros: Price, young staff willing to try new things

Take my advice....Run!!! Run as fast as you can!!!!

by tuckerandpersey

I always take a lot of pride in how my hair looks and get lots of compliments about how cute it is. But after visiting Salon Moxie it will be a while before compliments come my way again. The best thing I can say is that the salon is cute. I visited for the first time and the stylist took about 3 minutes for the consultation. The haircut was done in less than 15. Once it was dried I immediately noticed upon looking in the mirror that it was terribly uneven. After I pointed it out to the stylist she promptly took a few cuts out of one side and pronounced that I was ready to go. I probably should have said more about my hair but was ready to get out of there before more damage could be done. I paid for the haircut and got in my car. I stared in my rear view mirror for a while noticing even more how uneven it was and just how much shorter it was than I had hoped. I didn?t know what to do so I quickly drove to another salon to ask for help. Upon asking for a stylist at the second salon to look at my hair I quickly became the topic of conversation among all the stylists. I was the girl who had just gotten a crappy haircut. The second stylist checked my hair for about 20 minutes and kept commenting about how uneven my hair was and how she couldn?t tell just what the first stylist was trying to do. She spent almost an hour with me trying to correct what had happened to my hair at Salon Moxie. She stated that it was so short in some areas that she was just going to have to leave it alone and let it grow out. I can appreciate that there are new stylists at Salon Moxie and not everyone has years of experience. I will warn everyone out there who is looking for a cute, hip place to get your haircut that you should think twice before having it done at Salon Moxie. I absolutely will not return and will discourage others as well. I can honestly say that in my 30+ years of life that this was the worst haircut experience that I ever had.

Pros: very cute salon, nice products

Cons: quality of haircut

Great Service and Talent!

by annhawks

I just moved to the Raleigh area and was a bit nervous about finding a quality hair stylist. Fortunately, the first one I tried was PERFECT. I had Mary Taylor for a cut and wash, and she did such a great job. I am very pleased with my new style and will refer everyone I know to Salon Moxie!

Pros: great service, talent, salon ambience
