Absolutely horrendous service. The OWNER of this salon has…read morestood me up not once, not twice, but four times. Most of the time not even giving me any kind of heads up or notice that she will not be there. My final appointment I tried to make with her was to get roots fixed that she has been supposed to fix for MONTHS now so that I could take Christmas pictures with my son who is almost grown- I don't even know if we will be able to take pictures next Christmas. This meant nothing to her. She pulled yet another no-call, no-show on me days before Christmas (was too late to get in anywhere else) and hasn't called back since. She's lucky I didn't sue in the first place- my first appointment she started with her irresponsible, lackadaisical behavior and had me keep my appointment with a barber (appt was with her originally) who in no way knew how to dye hair. This man thinned out half of my head, burnt a bunch of my hair off. All because she put us both in a bad position. He should've never even attempted what he did with my hair, shame on them both for not knowing better. Did I mention the color of my hair was 6 different shades of orange/off-blonde, with patches of black throughout (my natural color is close to black/very dark brown)?? Not cute or finished or a professional color job, whatsoever. He STILL charged me. This owner hasn't even contacted me to apologize after this last "cancellation." I don't consider it that, this is the 3rd time at least she has stood me up completely with zero notice, zero compassion for me and my day. I worked the night shift and live across town, I had an appointment with her at 9am after working til 3:00am. I also had to work that night, on pretty much no sleep that was lost FOR NO REASON. Went across town, FOR NO REASON. Paid for parking, FOR NO REASON. She had zero concern for any of that, as I was left there til nearly 10am with the door locked and no one there. I not only confirmed the appointment, I confirmed it TWICE. She couldn't even answer the damn phone to let me know she would not be there, much less reach out to me. Zero respect for me, or my time as a customer. Idk what is wrong with this owner, but this is the most unprofessional experience I've had BY FAR with ANY SALON IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND ANY BUSINESS IN THE CITY! Idk what ur on.....but you need to get it together. There is definitely more going on than some deaths in the family. I doubt someone died literally every time I made an appointment, and you can't be professional and respectful enough to show up after cancelling on me MULTIPLE times and after telling me that you would do my roots for free in the fall after YOUR BARBER messed me up? She only gave me one free service to make up for him burning my damn hair off and screwing it up for months. I've been trying to grow out my hair- his actions caused me to lose at least a year of growth. I hadn't scheduled with a professional salon in years to do my color when I made that initial appointment....and was left with what I got- a burnt head, feeling like I was going to be assaulted at times because this man was so persistent with the flirting and gross speech even though I was far from interested, I didn't feel safe my entire appointment and was never told by this man that he had no freaking idea what he was doing until the end of my appointment when it was too late. I'm also in recovery and this dude was offering me substances he would not quit. Thankfully I have a strong resolve, someone else wouldn't be so lucky. She is incapable of keeping her word, do not even try to make an appointment with this selfish woman. If I could give you all negative stars, I would. So much wrong with the entire picture. Get your shit together. ALL THE WAY. Or just close your doors. But don't treat good people like this- I was nothing but kind and understanding to all of you, but at this point this review is well-deserved. I still haven't gotten a single apology or explanation for last time, I am a paying customer that they screwed over in the past and whom she owes a service to. Negative stars for this "salon." More like a trap house or part-time business she does for fun or shows up for the rich old ladies. But she sure doesn't show up for me, and didn't KNOWING it was for Christmas pictures with my son and KNOWING that she had already stood me up MULTIPLE TIMES and that I've been screwed over so bad as a customer that I very well could have sued them. I should've known from the first appointment just how unprofessional this place is, in every way. There is no freaking excuse good enough for all of this and I have evidence of everything I'm saying- so go ahead. What you should do is take some responsibility. If you can't show up and can't even hire halfway decent people to do so, close your doors. Don't treat good people like this.

I asked him if he knew how to fade which he clearly didn't based off the way my hair looks now. I would've been better off going to a teenager and letting him cut my hair with the sense and just listening skills of this guy. first off, I said, if you know how to fade do a fade fading into a one. I have a zero on the sides of my hair fading into these not straight and just left a bunch of random laying here at the top thinking it's a fade just cause it gets covered up by my hair on top and then this is where it gets absolutely dumb and just can tell that it was rushed didn't care a moment you have long hair on the back short in the front I start seeing pieces 8 inches in length start falling. There's a clear path that all barbers made that I've done my hair before what they did and he goes over and cuts off and goes into my long hair this guy is a disgrace, horrible customer service and then finishes his haircut. I'm trying to tell him what's wrong like a five-year-old kid says well. Your hair was hard. You got what you got if it was too hard for you. Why did you even grab the clippers and do it if too hard for you you should that to the not after I know my hair is hard but when you leave my all the way down to my ask if he could shampoo or condition it all which I had intentions of doing but instead ran to the back and said pay for your haircut. There's a lot of able young ladies in there, but the fat guy in the front chair is clearly unable to follow instructions and gets his feeling hurt to easy I paid $25 there and another 30 to get my hair fixed and getting to wicked his fade. A little bit more is just horrible. I've never been done like this. He hasn't thinking to do about his customer service and the way he cuts hair

She was supposed to add bangs, but she only cut one part and didn't do the rest, which was very weird. I had a friend come over to fix my hair. I was upset.

Since the quarantine was finally easing up it was time to get my hair fixed. I made an appointment…read morewith Ariel at Moxi for a consultation since what I was looking for was pretty complex and I was a new client. They were able to get me in right away. Ariel was sweet and welcoming and put me at ease. As we talked she listened closely. She took some time looking at my hair and asked a few clarifying questions and then got to work. She brought me color samples to look at and talked to me about toning the blonde and if I wanted cooler or warmer color. Once she was satisfied with the understanding of what I wanted she went to get Shannon, the owner. They discussed the application, technique, product, time, etc. They quoted me an estimate that was complete and frugal and we made an appointment for the actual application. I went in on the 19th for my appointment with great excitement. After having my temperature taken and washing my hands we got down to business. Ariel clarified a couple of things then went to mix the first round of color. What I want is hard to explain, difficult to maintain, and certainly not easy to do well. Ariel made it seem like a cakewalk. The red on top and blonde balayage is not an easy application and she had to clean up a little from the previous time it was done. She hit it out if the park. With help from Shannon to speed the application process along, she gave me exactly what I was looking for. The colors and tones are spot on and the look is exactly what I was going for. Also, because of the products they use my hair is still soft and healthy and smells amazing! I would highly recommend Moxi and Ariel to anyone in need of a great style!
