I just had my second appointment with Nick. He definitely knows his way around a head of hair with a pair of shears. He's a master hair stylist, for sure. Both cuts have been off the map perfect. I've lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco for many years and had my hair cut by "the best". Nick is as good or better with more actual skill and great judgment about what works. He knows hair. Who knew?! A master hair stylist right here in Keene! Wow! read more

I used to love getting my hair cut by Nick, he does give a great haircut. Unfortunately, I've been stood up/ghosted by him and his staff member Diane three (yes, three) times. I would show up after driving an hour and the studio is locked, hours later I'll get a text that "nick is sick." The lack of communication and professionalism from them is truly astounding. I highly recommend Victoria down the street at Magnolia on Main, every bit as skilled and truly a professional! read more

This was my first time having my hair professionally cut in a year, so I read the reviews and decided to come to Moda Suo. I certainly don't regret it. Nick is very personable and an artist. His assistant gave me a very pleasant and relaxing shampoo treatment as well. I look forward to establishing another long-term 'relationship' with a new hair stylist! read more

Nicholas was amazing! Very, very talented and technically better than the hair dressers I have experienced at many high end NYC salons. I have extremely thick hair that had not been cut for 6+ months and he executed my "Lob" request the highest level of skill, precision and talent. I can not recommend Nicholes and the salon with better accolades. The ambiance of the salon was also amazing. Love, love, love this this place and will definitely be back read more

Moda Suo is a great place for hair cuts in Keene, NH. Owner Nick Sansone brings a sophistication and grace to his work that is hard to find. It's perfect for men who want a classic men's scissors cut. As a customer for more than 10 years, I highly recommend Moda Suo. read more

I was initially looking for eyebrow threading services, but do not offer that service. They do offer eyebrow waxing, I was skeptical because in the past waxing hadn't worked me & I needed emergency eyebrow rescuing for MY WEDDING! I spoke the owner and the young lady at the desk, she informed me of the different wax types and techies, so I went for it. BOY!! I'm glad I listened to them! My eyebrows came out beautiful! She was gentle and talked me through the whole process, making sure I had a mirror in hand to see everything. I would definitely recommend this place... Pic#1. Before and after... Pic#2 salon entrance read more

See all

It's been nine days since the haircut. I would like to give an update on my review. My hair is growing out well and is back to a decent length. For an update, the overall first cut was good, the length was just too short, which made me a but disappointed. He is very talented at cutting hair and is kind, just made a honest mistake of cutting too much when my hair was wet. Thus, I would like to change the overall rating to a 4. read more

I have been in Keene for almost two years and I have been going back to Buffalo or into Nashua to get my hair done because I was afraid of having my hair done in this town. That fear is now put aside because I found Brandon at Moda!! Picture it: Keene, on what I am pretty sure is the hottest, most humid day of the year. After getting lost (even though there is a sign a top the building entrance) I find myself in a slightly eclectic, well put together salon. My stylist takes me into a room and waxes, then plucks my eyebrows and for the first time in months, I don't get red/puffy! A good start in my book!! Next comes the haircut! I always fail miserably at trying to describe what I want in a haircut, and with my curly hair it can end badly. Brandon knew exactly what to do and gave me the perfect haircut, just like my favourite stylist in Buffalo does!! Do yourself a favour and come to MODA!! read more

Fantastic haircuts. Much better than you would think possible in a town this size. Friendly stylist and nice staff to boot. Had some scheduling issues a while back that all seem resolved now... if you are in southern New Hampshire there won't be a better place. read more

I love the haircut Nick gave me, he is very talented and creative. He used techniques I have never seen before, thank you! His assistant Brittany is very kind, and the studio is spacious and artistic. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

If you're looking for the real thing, then you've got to go to Moda. Nick was a ninja with the scissors. He was professional but also friendly and real. Not to mention the best playlist I've heard in a salon. Thank you Moda Suo Studio for such a wonderful experience and this gift of a hair cut! read more

Best place I have ever enjoyed getting my hair cut. Not only does Nick manage to make any hair look amazing, with him you don't have the awkward situation of a forced conversation with your hairdresser, you actually can enjoy a good talk. If I wouldn't live 6000miles away, I would only get my hair cut at MODA read more

Best eyebrow wax ever. I believe the gal's name is Cat, but she is awesome. $10 for a great eyebrow wax, and a very nice salon. The girl at the counter was super helpful in answering my questions about different hair treatments too. Will definitely be back. read more

As always an outstanding job Nick, can't thank you enough. Artistic and original cut with insightful and smart conversation. Thanks!

Recently moved to Keene and was looking for a salon to get a new haircut. SO HAPPY I found Brandon at Moda, he did a phenomenal job cutting my hair. I have very fine hair and he knew exactly what to do to make it look full - probably the best cut I've ever gotten. He was friendly and easy to carry on a conversation with. I'll definitely be going back to him again. read more

Nick is AMAZING!!!! I met him 10+ years ago when he first opened his shop here in Keene. He is my GOLD STANDARD for hair stylists. I live on the west coast now and struggle to find anyone as good as him. I like low maintenance styles (wash & air dry) for my thick hair. After I have Nick work on my hair, it always goes through really nice transitions of which still looks awesome 5 months later. Every time I come back to Keene to visit, I always schedule an appointment with Nick first. I receive many compliments as I see old friends. I highly recommend Nick, and trust his intuition in the people he brings on board to his shop. I only wish I had an equivalent here in San Francisco. Thank you!!!!! read more

So glad I finally tried this place! The salon itself is charming and stylish- not to mention the cool view of main street you get to take in! Brandon, my stylist, was very personable and knowledgable. He did an awesome job with my eyebrows and definitely stays away from overplucking/overwaxing which I have experienced at a lot of local salons. I also found the wax to be less painful and I am waaaay less red afterwards than I typically would be. Brandon sat me down, took a look at my hair, asked me what I was thinking and then walked me through what his plan was and made sure I was on board. I asked for as little length to come off as possible but wanted to fix the shelf like layers I had. Somehow, Brandon managed to fix my choppy layers, give my hair some body, have my bangs shape my face beautifully (he convinced me to do shorter layer for bangs rather than the side swept look and he was totally right!) and I think he managed to do it all without taking more than 1/4 inch if even. I loved that he showed me the back of my hair, too-- which looked amazing! He walked me through the products he used when drying my hair and what they did, but there was absolutely no pressure to buy-- which I really appreciated. I will definitely be back-- and sending my husband there too! read more

Excellent salon. Fantastic, stylish location, with experienced stylists. Literally everyone I know who has a hip hairstyle in this town goes to Moda... so I tried it out. Brandon was awesome - chatty and experienced, he was able to help guide me when I wasn't sure what I wanted, and i'm really stoked with the result. Oh, and did I mention it's GREAT value! Big city haircuts for small town prices. read more

I moved to Keene from California and it can be tough finding new things like a dentist, doctor, vet and other services. Nick was really friendly and gave a great cut. I went from shaggy to looking like my old self. read more

I've been coming to Nick, the owner, for three years now. In that short time, he's given me the top hair cuts of my life. His style emphasizes movement and a certain natural sexiness. There is flow to his cuts, and he likes to riff on classic shapes. He has an excellent eye for your perfect length and is good with different textures. My sister has curly hair and swears by him. If memory serves, he used to cut in Boston at a salon in Back Bay. Another reviewer called it "Big city haircut for small town prices"--precisely. read more

I love the personalized cut I get from Nick at Moda Salon. They know hair and how to cut, color and style to bring out your personal best. At Moda it is not just a 'cut'. Nick looks at your face, style, shape, and lifestyle to give you a cut that works for you. I hope I never need to go any place other than Moda. read more

I've been looking for a salon nearby that would recreate a New York experience I had a few years ago and this one did it! Brittany is so friendly and professional! She makes you feel comfortable even if it's the first time there! My hair is challenging at best and Nick listened to me and gave me hair I never thought I would have! There are no bad angles!! No wonky highlights or color, just beautiful hair with a gorgeous easy to maintain cut! Honestly I never thought I could have hair like this!! It has movement and style and is totally on trend! read more

I had my first haircut years ago by Nick, and liked it so much I went back. Nick wasn't available, so I opted for Brandon, who did a nice job as well. They both were my go-to hair place for a few years in a row, and when I went back the last time I unfortunately had a horrible hair cut. Nick had just returned from a hair expo in Europe and I think he was excited to use his thinning shears on my already thin hair. He styled, crunched, sprayed, dried and flipped me into a haircut that only a stylist could do every day. I went home and thought, oh i'll just wash and straighten it and it will be all good.It was absolutely HORRIFYING! He over used the thinning shears and my hair felt coarse and sickly. It took me 1.5YEARS to cut and grow it out. I couldn't even put it in a ponytail without it looking like my hair was falling out. I was so disappointed. read more

I LOVE Nick and his team. I have been going to him for years now and I always love how my hair comes out. I feel fabulous leaving his salon after an appointment... very glamorous! My older kids have started going to him now, too, and they always look wonderful, too. read more

Very attentive and helpful staff. Talented stylist (Brandon) and great customer interaction on what cut would be appropriate and attractive. Prices are good for the high skill level of stylist. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Nick for over a year now, and I couldn't be happier. It's difficult to find someone who knows how to cut curly hair, and he is the best! read more

Great cut, knows design - - 2010-03-01 I am very happy to have found Nick. He absolutely knew what to do when I sat in his chair. First he asked me why I was unhappy with my hair. Then he showed me what my hair needed to flatter my face. He did not push products, even instructing me to wait ten weeks for another cut since the last hairdresser cut my hair too short on top. Meanwhile he gave me a great snappy cut and showed me how to blow dry it. Since I left Massachusetts I have only found one person who really knew what he was doing cutting my hair and he stopped working in Keene. - Kathleen read more

Always get a great cut and style. Nick is so committed to the hair industry and in providing fabulous service and style.

You've tried the rest, now try the best. Nick, the owner, is way talented. He could be in NYC or LA getting $75 per cut, but wanted to be near family in Keene. For $28, you get not just a shampoo, cut, and blowdry, but a chance to work with an artist who really listens to you. MODA is the only salon in a 50-mile radius that carries Bumble and bumble products, and Bb only invites the finest salons in the world to carry their line. The salon is on the 2nd floor of a historic building, with an ornate tin ceiling you can admire while your locks are washed, funky art on the walls, large windows looking east over Main Street and Central Square that let in lots of light. The main part of the salon has a chair in each corner, each facing a huge antiquey 4x5-foot mirror that leans up against the wall. It all adds up to really good feng shui! Nick's always got good tunes going, too. The whole experience there is something I look forward to every month. read more

the best place by far,.. the only place I get my hair done!!! Nick is truly an artist, an awesome guy just to be around!!!

Nick cut my hair today... and I LOVE IT!!! I have lived here for 5 years now, and still haven't found a hair stylist in Keene that I am satisfied with.... well my search is over!! Thanks so much!! read more

Worst shampoo and haircut I have ever gotten. I will not go back or recommend this salon. The cut was choppy and very hard to clean up, it took over a month a do. I was very disappointed with both the shampoo which took all of 30 seconds at the most and the choppy hair cut which had uneven sides and uneven shorter chunks in the back. Very disappointed. read more

Nick ruined my wedding by doing a terrible job on my hair and my wedding parties hair and refused to fix it because he had other plano and needed to leave early. read more

This is the worst salon I have ever gone to. I paid to close the salon down for my wedding and not only did nick show up late to our appointment he left early and rushed through everybody hair and makeup. Before I even got to my ceremony (it was one hour after we left the salon) my hair had completely fallen out and looked terrible as did everyone in my wedding parties hair. My photos came out terrible due to the disheveled look of my entire wedding party. Nick and his team ruined what should have been the happiest day of my life. He also over charged each girl in my bridal party. I had a written signed contract from him stating the prices and the day of he preceded to charge everyone more than the agreed prices and after I attempted to contact the salon to explain the over charges to my bridal party I never heard back from anyone. I highly suggest anyone looking into this salon to avoid it all cost...upon first look it appears to he a reputable salon but they are terrible at their jobs and should be ashamed to call anyone there a professional stylist. read more

I got my hair done at Moda Suo for my wedding. My maid of honor, my mother and I all had our hair done with Tia, who was fantastic. She gave my mom a gorgeous blow-out, which stayed all day long and looked fantastic (even through intense humidity and last minute wedding chores!) There was a bit of a scheduling situation that occurred due to the transition in receptionists, so I was unable to have a pre-wedding consultation with Tia prior to the "big day" but she did a phenomenal job on both my Maid of Honor's and my hair with just a few googled images to help guide her. She was totally professional, completely creative, listened to what I wanted, and made me feel so incredibly special and beautiful on my wedding day. My up-do stayed all day long, and through the evening (and alot of dancing and humidity!) My only complaint is that I live in Boston, and won't be able to see Tia or Nick as often as I'd like to get my hair done. Thank you both, for making me feel truly special! read more
