This review is very long but I feel like i need to express how AWFUL my experience was. I will not be back to Salon Moda. My hair is absolutely ruined now. I had white/blonde hair and came into Salon Moda for the first time after reading the good reviews on this website. I came in and Max was at the front desk, I showed him a picture of the hair I wanted (a black to white ombre) Which I specified I wanted black roots and white tips. he looked at my hair, explained to me what he was going to do and then made my appointment (with himself of course). After him bragging on himself of how much experience he had I felt pretty confident and was very excited to come back a few days later to get my hair dyed. Everything else about the salon was great, I walked in the day of my appointment and was offered water, and everyone was nice and friendly. Max was a few minutes late to the appointment but at that point I was still feeling optimistic. Max took me back to his chair and then went to the back for about 20 minutes. I was a little bit annoyed but I knew the wait would be worth it. about 4 hours into the appointment and about 10 times of him asking to see the picture again I asked him what he was doing putting black to the bottoms of my hair, he said he was going to put black underneath, grey in the middle and leaving the top the white/blonde color my hair already was. all throughout the appointment he was telling me how great and experienced he was and how I'd end up with the finished product of the picture I brought in and then he just decided to do his own thing without discussing it with me or even indicating that he was changing up the plan. After the appointment he told me "If I would've done what you wanted it wouldve taken 12 hours" seeing as that appointment took me 6 hours as it is it was a complete waste of time. I wish he wouldve told me that before hand. After he told me he changed his decision on what he was going to do to my hair he could see I was upset which I think made him mad and he took it out on me by way over charging me and drying my hair very very violently and jerking my head around with the hair brush and "accidentally" hitting me in the head repeatedly with the hair brush and dryer. Other than that being the most expensive hair appointment I've ever had it was also the very worst one I had. everyone else who came into the salon left looking great so if you'd like to go to this salon Dont go to Max. Just don't. You'll regret it read more

After reading many reviews about local hair salons I decided to go to Salon Moda. This was easily one of the best choices! I wanted to have my box dyed hair, which was turning hideously brassy, corrected to my natural color. I was so fed up with my hair I called at 9am on a Saturday morning to see if I could get in, and they had an opening, so far so good, but it only got better. My stylist was amazing! I went for a cut and color and she did a lovely job on both! She got my hair soooo close to my natural color! She carefully watched the clock while my hair was dried and wasn't distracted by chit chat or other clients. I also had my hair trimmed and she did that perfectly, then patiently dried and straightened my hair. While I was there I noticed that the other stylists where just as courteous with their clients and everyone was leaving smiling and looking amazing. There were several male stylist and a lot of guys actually came in to have their hair cut and also looked great. When I arrived back home people instantly noticed the change, even the guys, and I received several compliments. Thank you Salon Moda! Moda is located downtown and is very modern and elegant. The interior is extremely spacious, fantastically decorated, very clean, and yes there is an aquarium! I was offered a bottled water but I think they had coffee also. They are expanding the salon and adding a Spa downstairs-nice! There is free downtown parking very close, just a two minutes stroll from parking to Moda. read more

I recently purchased the groupon deal for a 25 dollar brazilian wax. I have to say, while it was extremely painful I will definitely be going back to this salon. My esthetician, Anna, was incredibly friendly and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. It can be nerve-racking having someone examine your hoo-ha like that, but she was very professional and made the experience very nice. The salon itself is beautiful with lots of modern decorations, some comfy couches and they offered me a beverage as soon as I walked through the door. You walk into the basement where the spa is, and it is very tranquil and calming. It smelled great and the room I was waxed in was very private and clean. Anna used fresh wax and did not re-use any wooden sticks, and she has also been doing this for a year now so she knows exactly what she was doing. I guess if I had to complain about one thing it would be when I got there and I was seated, I waited for about 20 minutes before someone asked me what I was there for. But turns out it was just due to lack of communication on my part, as all I told them was I was there to see Anna. There are two Anna's there, so I should have specified that I was there for a spa appointment and not a salon one. Overall I am extremely pleased with my experience! And brazilians are very painful but so totally worth it. Go see Anna at Moda spa! She will fix you up! read more

My family and very close friends have owned, operated, and worked in Salons, and Beauty school since I was a little kid living in Saint Louis. Finding a new hair stylist is a challenge because it takes time to develop an understanding of one another. I met Maxx Hatz through a friend and thought he was a histarically cool guy so I put him to the test to see if he had what is takes to cut my hair. As a guy who grew up in Salons, I am needless to say a SNOB and very PICKY. I had an apointment with Maxx over 3 years ago and won't see anyone else. He has a eye for what works, He cares about what I want, and more often than not I just sit down and we "channel the hair gods" and just let it happen. And I must admit I have some sexy ass hair, that has varied from very short hand cut to past my shoulders. Honestly: Maxx Hatz is a crazy dude. I love him for it. He is authentic and way over qualified for the average joe or joanne. The Salon: Larry Hillhouse is the owner, and he is a straight up G. The guy is real, fun, talented, and always in a great mood. The rest of the people in the salon are pretty cool too, but the Max and Larry are hard to beat. Check em out for yourself! My name is Devin Dillon, peace out. read more

Speaking as a man who has had a hard time finding a hair salon he liked in this town, I thought Moda was absolutely fantastic. I have rather unruly hair and I have almost never been happy with my haircut from places like Sports Clips or Too Hotties or other shops that most men go to. In my experience those places just want to get you in and out and I never left fully satisfied. Moda was completely different, the staff was very nice and courteous and offered me beverages while I waited. The salon was extremely clean and classy looking and reminded me of the fancy big city salons you see in movies. The stylist (Chadwick) was great, he payed a ton of attention to detail and was very informative and talked to me quite a bit about what I was looking for and what I need to do. He helped me tremendously with styling tips and advice. All in all it was easily the best haircut I have gotten in Springfield and I don't think anyone has ever shown as much attention to detail and perfection as the stylist I had the pleasure of working with. Highly recommended to all men and women as well. read more

I was in from out of town and the in-laws bed was very uncomfortable. I desperately needed my neck worked on. I looked at a couple of reviews here on Yelp and chose Salon Moda to have an hour long massage. Honestly, the massage from Mallory may have been the best massage I have ever have. I have had about 10 massages in my lifetime and I would go to Mallory once a week for an hour long massage. It was well worth the value price of $70 for an hour. If you get a chance to book with Mallory do it, you wont be disappointed!!!! The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Salon Moda is the best salon in town! From the trendy decor to the amazing stylist it is the place to go. They also have spa services available like spray tans and facials. I have been so pleased at Moda that I would not consider going anywhere else! Every time I want a new style Larry knows exactly what to do and it always turns out perfect! I refer people to go there all the time and my friends get their hair done there as well. I would recommend this place any day!! read more

I absolutely love this place. It is downtown, which makes me feel like it would be for the younger crowd, but they cater to all age groups! I'm 36 and there were both younger and older there. The guy who does my hair is Joe and he is an absolute sweetheart that takes a lot of time with my haircuts to make sure it's perfect. I would definitely recommend for the talent, the surroundings and the price range. read more

I have been going to Max Hatz at Salon Moda for a long time. He never disappoints. He gives me exactly what I ask for every time. Very personable and friendly, he aims to please. One time I even asked for something that I ended up not liking and he changed it to my satisfaction at no cost. If you want beautiful hair every time ask for Max. Great friendly atmosphere too! What's not to love?!?! read more

I LOVE Moda. I have thick, curly hair....do you know how difficult it is to find a stylist that knows how to go about cutting it? Let's just say it took me 19 year. I have Anna....she's absolutely the best person for my crazy head of hair. The salon is awesome...always offers me a drink, which I love. Such a cool place with cool people. Can't sing their praises loud enough :) read more

I love Moda! Larry is so great with getting me an appointment quickly and does a great job on my hair! Amanda did my hair this time and it rocks! The color and cut she did is exactly perfect for me! The salon itself is a treat! It's hip and friendly. You are greeted immediately and served in style. It's a great experience and the only salon I use in Springfield, MO! read more

I went to salon Moda for highlights and my stylist was Rachel. She was very sweet and friendly, the atmosphere was great- very open and modern. The staff was nice and the quality of service was excellent. I had just moved here from California and I chose to go here after searching the net for a new salon. I'll definitely be back :) read more

I went to Moda for the first time today for a cut and color. I was very happy with my stylist, Sierra, and the service I received! I love my cut and the color was exactly what I wanted. The staff is very friendly and got me into an appointment right away. I will definitely be going back! read more
