This was one of the worst haircuts and one of the most unprofessional experiences I have had. Every couple of minutes, Amanda told me that my hair smelled horrible. At the time, I was using Marc Anthony's line of curly hair products. I washed my hair the night before and used the product. I have never had anyone else mention a bad odor, including my husband who would certainly let me know. I nearly walked out in the middle of the haircut because she continued to go on and on about the smell. It was ridiculous and utterly unprofessional. On top of it, I walked out with one of the worst haircuts to date. There were no layers and I walked out of there as the shape of a triangle. It took me forever to grow my hair out. I wasted a ton of time waiting for an appointment with Amanda and then wasted a bit of money. I would never recommend this salon to anyone with curly hair, unless your thing are triangles and unprofessionalism, then Amanda would be your person. read more

Just do your own research on what a Deva cut is, and make sure you are ok with that. I admit I just trusted that it was similar to other curly cuts but I was wrong. I was not happy with no layers, a huge shelf, triangular shape and weird stack in the back... it has taken me many months to grow out that strangeness! read more

Wow, Amanda is amazing! Amanda is an absolute curly hair wealth of knowledge and it's clear that she cares deeply about fostering honest, supportive, and helpful relationships with her clients. She helped me fix my routine, gave me the best haircut I have ever gotten, and I left the salon with my curly hair! (I usually find that hairdressers don't really know how to diffuse my hair well...) Overall, if you have curly hair, stop searching and book with Amanda. It's worth it! read more

Amanda is the holy grail of DEVA stylists. I have been doing deva cuts for about 8 years now from the east coast to the midwest with at least five different stylists. Though they're all trained in the technique, some are more advanced than others. Couple that with a wide variety of personality styles, actual cutting experience, and vision...and one can see where these stylist's capabilities would run the gamut. My first experience with Amanda was prior to my wedding. I needed to take off about maybe a half inch to an inch, but not enough to drastically alter my whole situation. She made me feel totally comfortable and talked me through it, amending as necessary based on what I already had learned about the system. Fast forward to 2 months post wedding and I am ready for a chop. My hair has been anywhere from shoulder to mid back length since I was 14 years old. Yesterday, I decided that I needed to change things up. I spent 2 hours with Amanda and went from slightly past shoulder length to an absolutely gorgeous asymmetrical cut. No joke, my hair looks wicked pissah (awesome, amaze-balls, pick your poison). I am madly in love with my curls for the first time in years. She didn't talk me into it, and she didn't talk me out of it. In fact, Amanda brought up points that I actually hadn't considered and really assisted me with making the decision to cut everything so short. She trimmed me up to a cute shoulder skimming bob and then gave me enough time and space to work up to my now amazing hairdo. What Amanda brings to the curly girl game in technique is equally weighted with a seriously outstanding personality. In the middle of the cut I decided that this girl is my go-to stylist from here on out. She kept me laughing, she's authentic, and she made this transition one of the most relaxing experiences I've had in quite some time. Without a doubt I would recommend her, and I have, in fact, to several co-workers and friends. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received on this cut in the last 24 hours alone, but damn, this girl is a magician! read more

***BEWARE an APPOINTMENT is NOT an APPOINTMENT*** I was so excited when i looked out my apartment and saw curly girl salon but it was covid and couldn't make an appointment. Finally the ban on hair cutting was lifted and i called to make the appointment. No one called me back so i was afraid they didn't survive Covid as so many businesses have folded. Two weeks later Amanda called me back. I was so ecstatic that i was going to get an appointment. There wasn't any appointments available for another 4 weeks . I was due for a haircut then but i wanted to try this new method for my curls so i was willing to wait. Today finally came and i was so looking forward to my appointment. Ask any of my family and you will know i couldn't stop talking about this appointment. I received a confirmation text a few days before and read the long text of instructions and the new covid routine and to text when i arrived. What i missed at the very end was that she stated to text YES to confirm or text to reschedule. I only noticed the last part so i did not do anything but i DID pay attention to the instructions. When i arrived at work i realized i forgot my phone so i knew i would have to go home first to get my phone so i could text when i arrived. around 2 my husband was in the area of my work so he dropped it off. When i looked at it i saw i got a text from curly girl asking if i could change my appointment to 11:30 instead of 4. Well i couldn't have anyway because i work so i texted right away asking if my 4 pm appointment was still on. Amanda gave me a terse reply that i did not confirm my appointment so it wasn't available. Well technically since the original text she sent did not give a deadline to confirm i in fact did confirm my appointment when i replied back to her text. I thought it was odd her reply was so terse and was frankly quite offended that she had taken such a hard line without explanation. Of course i would understand if an emergency came up and she had to cancel. I never imagined she gave my appointment away!!! I noticed i had a voicemail and sure enough she had left me a message. Basically saying i had to reply by noon or she would give my slot to someone on the waiting list. This was the first i knew that she gave the appointment away. Never mind that i forgot my phone i was at work and most days i can't look at my personal phone while working so even if i had my phone i may not have seen my messages. I asked that she call me and she did. She offered me an appointment for 6 days later but i had a special event before then and I had hoped to have my overgrown hair cut. When i said i wanted her to honor my appointment and that my experience with other businesses was unless i explicitly cancel an appointment i have the appointment. Her demeanor changed from a pleasant cheerful person to a very stern tone and that it was my fault that i lost the appointment. The principal of the matter is an appointment is an appointment until someone explicitly says otherwise ESPECIALLY when you have to wait so long to get the appointment and even a return call to make the appointment. She may have a unique way to cut and handle curly hair and therefore in high demand but she needs to treat her customers with more respect. It's just not worth it to have your time be so devalued and therefore you as a person be devalued. I have gone 61 years having my hair cut conventionally it won't hurt to continue and pay significantly less while I am at it. read more

Amanda is very good at her craft. She is very sweet and makes the experiences great. I always love my haircuts done by her.

Below is my feedback to Seven Days regarding this business (the link to a recent article about this business is below): http://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/stylist-amanda-moshovetis-talks-curly/Content?oid=3306283 Dear Carolyn Shapiro: It saddens me to have to write to you regarding your article (though well written) featuring Amanda Moshovetis (posted on April 20, 2016). When you asked her "How do you keep curls sane?", part of her answer was "When (clients) leave, I print (clients) a custom 'curl-scription', which outlines all of the products I used, how much to use and how to use them." I patronized her establishment on Saturday, March 05, 2016 and spent $175.00 for services. I never received a printout listing the products she used on my hair, though she mentioned the products to me verbally. In fact, I attempted to simply obtain the name of the brand of demi-color she used on my hair and she refused to provide this information to me. Amanda, in my communication via text with her this month, made it very clear to me that I must "make another appointment" (translation: spend money) in order to obtain the information she stated that she provides her customers in your article. One of Amanda's statements in your article that was true was the fact that she is "really about cutting the hair in its natural state", which sadly, was to my detriment. I have afro-textured hair. My type of hair requires a "blowing out" or "straightening" of my natural curls to be evenly trimmed. Amanda, putting it politely, butchered my hair and I have the pictures to prove it. ******************** To append to my feedback, I truly thought that Amanda was sincere in appreciating me as a customer, especially since I spent $175.00 for services at my first visit on March 05, 2016. To her credit, Amanda did not rush and explained the services she provided and allowed for me to ask questions. Her salon suite was nicely arranged and there was adequate space. She also provided refreshments and candies of which you may partake of throughout your appointment. Given her recent attitude toward me (dismissive - for no reason), I must surmise that my prior interaction with her was a facade on her part. It is very disheartening to encounter a business owner who is two-faced. Sadly, I have no other choice than to state that this has been my experience with Amanda. On the brighter side, I've been able to nurture my hair and recapture its glory after Amanda butchered it (please refer to my photo). I wanted to discuss her mistake with her privately via telephone. I did not contact her about it this past March for three reasons: 1) I loved the demi-color brand that Amanda chose, 2) I travel often and did not have the time to contact her and 3) I understood that she did not intentionally mean to 'cut' my hair so unevenly - she simply did not know how to evenly trim afro-textured hair. Any stylist who is familiar with Afro-textured hair knows that the curl patterns must be straightened before they are trimmed. Thankfully, I already had a stylist who knew how to cut my hair down to even it out. In fact, I highly recommend Jayme Sartelle of Montreal Stylze at http://www.montrealstylze.com/ for your trimming and cutting needs. The prices are reasonable and you can always reach either Jayme or a colleague via telephone. When I visited Jayme soon after having had my hair butchered by Amanda, she thought that a trainee at one of the local cosmetology schools was responsible. I did not mention Amanda's name at that time. I informed Jayme for the first time when I visited her on 09/21/16 for my routine trim that Amanda was responsible for the botched cut I endured on March 5th. I also had the pleasure of meeting another DevaCurl stylist yesterday, Mr. Angus Purve of Joli Hair Salon at http://www.burlingtontowncenter.com/store/joli-hair-studio/2137040383/2138845782, who did a wonderful job of doing a demi-gloss on me. I was also surprised to learn, after I discussed my matter with Angus, that the "DevaCut" was not supposed to have been done on wet hair. Also, Angus also styled me very nicely and freely allowed me to see and take photos of all products that he used on me. I also recommend Angus for your DevaCurl needs as he can be available from 11 am - 7:00 pm most days (and later). Angus also stated that he can be available for special appointments as required and will also refer his clients to other colleagues if he is not available. *********** I wrote this review for four reasons: 1) Amanda made it clear that she did not wish to interact with me unless I plan to spend more money for her services 2) It is unwise to underestimate clients and make them feel devalued 3) she made a published statement that contradicted my experience and 4) Amanda must learn that the marketplace does not cater to the needs of businesses and 5) she must learn to deliver courteous "after care" to all (not some) of her clients. read more

As many curly haired girls, I've struggled with finding a flattering cut and frizzy hair, despite trying 100s of products. Amanda and the Deva cut have brought my curls to life! The individual cutting of each curl and personalized drying and education I was given keep my curls looking great at home too! Highly recommend this salon and type of cut if need some curl love! read more

Amanda is amazing. For the first time in my life I am comfortable with my curly hair and can control it. Her products and styling tips make my hair look natural and beautiful. Her studio is small and private. She takes the time to explain everything she is doing the reason curly hair must be treated differently. She is a full service stylist offering, cut, color, and waxing. Thank you Amanda !!! read more
