Hands down the best salon I have been to in my 20 something years in Boston and Boston area…read more Professional, talented, warm and friendly. The full package. Lauren is my gal for all hair everything! Cuts, color, grey coverups, highlights. After my first time going to her, which was two years after "Covid " hair, I would have been fine with her giving my mess of a mop a buzz cut! Fortunately, that's not what happened and I walked out walking on a cloud of happiness. When I walk in, about every six or o weeks, I just tell her "I'm in your hands" and the results are always spot on to the time of year, season and mood! Hail to all here, but especially to Lauren!

I spent $350.00 on treatment I did t know I was getting. And left an $80 tip. But I questioned the price. Was told by my hairdresser "I don't know off the top of my head0 and was sent a receipt with the breakdown. I emailed the salon to get an explanation, and this is what I received back: HI Leslie, It's confusing to hear that you are bothered by the price of your services today. The pricing is based on services rendered and very straightforward. We would never charge extra if you were sitting "longer than necessary" and I would also be curious what you are basing timing on. We don't typically give a step by step quote... we use our professional judgement on what your hair needs to look its best. I would recommend letting your stylist know budget restrictions before the appointment to make sure we can accomplish that goal. Best, Megan Brennan Essentials Salon

BUYER BEWARE!! I…read morehave been going to Moxie for 3 years. Every 11 weeks, like clockwork, I get a foil and cut. Even though Kerry is the owner I still tip. So after approximately 14 visits (of around $200 per visit) I made a fatal mistake. I screwed up my calendar and missed my appointment. Kerry called and left me a message. I called right back. I called back 2 more times. Due to the timing it's also my birthday. I found out my MIL called and left FIVE messages (trying to buy me a gift certificate.) KERRY NEVER CALLED BACK ONCE. I drove to the shop to see if it was open and she was ok! Yep, she's just ignoring me. She ghosted me because I made 1 mistake in 3 years. Her voicemail message to me was, "You're never late and it's 10 minutes past your appointment time ..." So guess what I now know: 1) one strike, you're out is her unwritten/unspoken policy 2) she won't even give a courtesy call to explain her unwritten policy (there is nothing on her website and no sign in her shop) One bone of contention I've had: - when I first started going to Moxie I got reminder calls - they just stopped and on at least 2 occasions I called the shop to see if my appointment was still scheduled - in today's digital / social age I get reminders from EVERYONE I deal with (doctor, dentist, Pilates, massage, etc.) Kerry: IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE INTOLERANT OF SCHEDULING MISTAKES then put your money where your mouth is and use a reminder system -- I'd have never missed my appointment if I'd received a reminder. And, while I found out the hard way / now have 14 weeks of roots, I'm happy to now see Kerry's character. I have no interest in giving my business to someone who is intolerant and uncooperative.

She is absolutely amazing! My highlights and hair have never looked better, and I'm quite particular. She is truly an artist, her color is spot-on and beautifully done. There also is no double-booking, she takes her time and is very detailed. Plus her cuts are great as well, and it's hard to find someone who can both cut and color. The salon itself is super cute, relaxing and elegant, with a nice cozy vibe. If you're a blonde, this is the place to go, Kelly is unbelievable! I can't say enough good things about her and Moxie Salon!

My hair had grown out for 10 months and I hadn't applied color so she could see what the texture was like. Esmeralda spent the time to listen to my concerns, observe my hair and discuss options of what to do next. I liked her suggestions and she offered to do a color treatment. I wondered if she had time as she was already working with another client. She happily said of course! My appointment was at 10:15 a.m. and she had consulted with me, washed, applied color, cut, dry and styled my hair in an hour! I love the color, texture and style this creative professional did in that amount of time. She is very friendly, a good listener and a master stylist. I will easily refer her to anyone looking for a new prescision specialist. Generally, I feel it's a good idea to change it up once in a while. A new person looks at your hair, listens to your concerns and lifestyle with a fresh prospective. I look forward to working with Esmeralda again!

She went in for a simple hair wash/ cut and was humiliated by Esmeralda in front of everyone since it had been a few weeks since she had last washed her hair. For context, my wife broke her shoulder a week ago and hence found it difficult to clean / manage her hair with one hand. The business owner should ensure it hires employees that know how to treat customers professionally, with courtesy and respect. Not employees who tell their customers "your hair is so dirty!" My wife definitely won't be coming here again! If you go here, beware of Esmeralda.

I've been to some high end Barber Shops like Roosters and Bostonian and I must say this one is definitely in the same league. While Bostonian's charme is in the barbers' entertaining manly dirty talk and Roosters is known for its luxurious, formal appearance of shop and employees, IMHO, this shop strikes the golden middle between the two. Peter, the manager / main barber, is a master of his art, took 1.5h for my first visit, 1h after opening hours, on a Sunday, and created one of the best beard and hair looks I ever had. Including a greatly honest consultation, talking me out of my idea to grow my hair shoulders long based on my hair structure and what would look good on me. he had a nice collection of photos from his Instagram profile which greatly helped us navigate our style planning and the outcome was even better than I expected.

She immediately understood what I wanted: I'm a retired guy much older than the rest of her clients with shaggy layered silver hair.

Not only was she an expert, but she is also very kind, understanding and restored my confidence. I can't wait to return.

With all the hair.. what else is there to do!? As a Korean adoptee never having a haircut by another Asian, I was very nervous. So many questions and still no answers (afraid to ask). Thankfully, Lee is a man of art. Knows faces and knows hair. It's an uneventful experience... Dry cut and blow dry but the results are sooo perfect. The shape, the weight, it all works. For me. And the experience reminds me that cash is King. I will continue to go to Lee's as long as I can!
