    Had a fantastic experience. Nicole is great and the salon is fun and has great clientele. Visited today for the first time for some gray blending and color correction. My hair looks and feels amazing. I had an idea of what I wanted, but Nicole gave me what my hair NEEDED, and I could not be happier with the results!!

    Before she did my hair

    I went into this salon because of the great reviews on Yelp. I wanted to color my hair to enable my grey roots to grow out naturally. My normal hairdresser would not agree to this, because she thought it would be damaged. So i sought out a "color specialist" with more expertise. I made an appointment for a consultation and Nicole said she could do this and explained that she woud lighten the front of my hair leaving the back to grow out. Thus my roots in the front would not "show." I returned to her salon 3 times. At the end of all this, my hair is burned down to my scalp and is uneven due to the "chemical burn haircut" she administered. She offered to return a part of my payments to her but the damage is already done. Now I need to spend MORE money to buy a wig.

    Color / balayage / highlight

    Nicole is awesome!!! I just had an incredible hair color experience! This is after years of having gone to so many different salons (and for that, the super famous ones!) in the Boston area, getting out disappointed with half-done dull highlights or balayage... Since I moved to Boston and that would be almost 6 years ago now, I have never had a good color experience. Or even a good haircut! I have thick, black hair and a lot of it, and they turn pretty much curly in summer and all straight in winter. 3 weeks ago I went to BCG and had a hair cut with these beautiful layers! I heard compliments about my haircut from colleagues that usually just pass by. And it was not even a big change. Just layers and they noticed! I love those layers! Today I went to get deep rose gold / aubergine highlights. I took the so many saved instagram photos with me together with all these detailed requests about my roots and the degrees of warmth and cold. She made this incredible beautiful shiny color out of it! So far, she is the only one who has been able to transform my hair through all these years and I really appreciate it! All this time and they never really knew how to work with my hair. How not to burn it. How to just get the right color and not damage my hair. And here I go to Boston Color Group at Watertown square and there is someone who understands it all and I can totally trust, bury my head in my phone and look at my hair 3 hours later and it gets to be all so glorious! Thanks Nicole for my new hair!

    Nicole highlighted my hair today in red/violet and gave it a red boost at the ends. I absolutely love it!

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!

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.
