I used to go to a chichi place in Coolidge Corner before my longtime hairdresser moved to Miami. …read more They matched me with a stylist who just didn't get it - even though she had had her own salon for many years. After strike three, I was hoping to find a place nearer to me in Watertown, and not as expensive. I took a chance with Pat because they were nearby and offered a free initial consult. She immediately understood what I wanted: I'm a retired guy much older than the rest of her clients with shaggy layered silver hair. She took me by surprise and offered to give me a quick trim to restore the balance that had been destroyed. Not only was she an expert, but she is also very kind, understanding and restored my confidence. I can't wait to return.

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!

Wow -- just got a haircut from Gary - and - he KNOWS how to cut hair!…read more Very happy with his skills and he did not disappoint. Never been to this salon before as I usually go to Newbury Street, but they were overbooked. So I needed to find someone that I could trust to cut my hair. It's hard to change from a 'known' to someone 'new' and have 'trust'. Gary was awesome and has 50 years experience cutting hair. He makes you feel comfortable right away. I can see why they have such great reviews! I'm just adding to the long list of happy customers. Bonus is NOT paying $40 for parking downtown! Fantastic shop -- I'll definitely be back.

I can't believe it took a poor Tanning business shutting down for me to find this great one.

When paying for hair services, the owner apologized and said that she had entered the amount into…read morethe system incorrectly and proceeded to try to fix it. I watched as 7 receipts came through my email account and text and wanted to write down the correct total and the owner became angry that I did not understand her credit system quickly enough. I called my credit card company and they looked at the pending authorizations and when the final charges did post, the total did not match what the owner had told me it should be. The sum of each hair service did match the total on the account, so I assumed her total was wrong. After creating this problem, the owner acted nasty and didn't want to work with me which is the reason for the review. Inquiry in to BBB.

She is so quick and efficient with the root touch up and is great to talk to throughout the whole process.

I also have always been very nervous when it comes to haircuts but she gave me exactly what I asked for and I had no doubts about trusting her to cut my hair. I couldn't recommend this salon more!!

Yelp Review #200 whoo hoo!!…read more I came in here on a whim and made an appointment after passing their cute little shop a few times. I got an all over color, cut, and eyebrow wax ($142 total, before tip) and I am so pleased I wish I could leave a 6 star review. I even uploaded a before/after picture, it was that bad beforehand! Patty spent a lot of time listening to products that I have used in the past and we talked about the color and cut before she got started. As a first time client, I felt very welcomed and was extremely pleased with the outcome. I had a huge white streak, grey roots, and a reddish-brown faded mop and I left with all of my hair the same color. I really liked that this salon didn't push products or make me feel pressured to buy anything that I didn't need. I'm excited to have finally found a stylist near my house that I can trust! :) Tip: Only cash/check accepted for tips.

At that point, I no longer felt comfortable being a client there and decided to cancel my appointment.
