    After first session

    I really did not want to leave a bad review bc I knew the owners but my hair has costed so much to look as bad as it does. My hair was done in 2 sessions and was under the impression I was receiving a full highlight service for the high price I paid. Anyhow, to keep it short it was only partially highlighted. The remaining hair wasn't highlighted the next appointment. I specifically wanted blonde full highlights to reduce existing brassiness that I wanted fixed in the first place. Now my hair is brassy, dark and uneven everywhere. Really upsetting because now I am going to pay someone else to fix the $375 I threw down the drain. I felt bad saying anything to the stylist because I'm afraid my hair would become fried since it's been treated so many times here already with bad results. Now paying for a color correction and need a full haircut to cut off damage did to my hair. (Service done by Robert)

    I'm so in love with my hair! Paulo did an amazing job!

    I love this place! I wanted something different out of my comfort zone. So I walked in and met Paulo. I explained I wanted a new look and right away he scheduled me for an appointment. I was impressed on how quickly I was able to get in. Other places I've gone to told me I had to wait 3 to 4 months out! I told him I wanted a cut and something pink. I told him just do whatever I trust you! Bc honestly I'm new to this stuff and he made me feel so comfortable. The end results were amazing. I felt like he new exactly what I wanted without me really saying much. They really know all about cuts and color at Medusa!

    Much needed r and r for me. First time here, and just what I needed.

    Such a nice, local salon. I am so use to others where other stylists are cold and focused on only their client , but both stylists (and client) commented on my hair after it was finished. Made me feel real good especially since my hair was a natural disater when I came in- 2 years of highlights grown out, different lengths (not cute), frizz galore. Paulo had his work cut out for him, but was able to tackle and tame my mane. :)

    I loved my experience at medusa! Ronnie did my hair. He was warm & welcoming, & offered me something to drink upon arrival. Great customer service, & great work. My hair looks amazing! I loved chit chatting with him. Most definitely found my new place!

    I stopped by today after scheduling an appointment literally yesterday last minute (thanks Brooke…read morefor the flexibility and great communication!) and am SO happy I did. Coming from LA, the prices here are so reasonable and the service quality is fantastic. I needed a refresh of my hair after having it all grow out from pregnancy so I came in with virgin black hair, and Nola was so wonderful- she was personable, and knew exactly what she was doing so that she gave me a better balayage than the examples I provided. It looks super natural and I'm really pleased with the results. The cut was perfect- she didn't cut off too much and I got to keep my length with healthier layers. The salon vibe: it is in a cute little Victorian house and well appointed... I'd definitely recommend and will be returning on my next visit to town.

She was also at the salon during my appointment and was so warm and welcoming. The salon is easy to find, cute, and clean, with street parking right out front. Nola was my stylist and she did an amazing job. I'm not someone who can walk in and name a specific haircut I want, but I explained how I usually style my hair and some concerns I had. She really listened, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure I felt comfortable with the length and style before cutting. She was also great to chat with and gave me really helpful advice about hair care and maintenance. I left feeling good about my hair and have already booked my next appointment with her in 12 weeks!

From the very first appointment, I knew I had found someone truly special. Coco brings over 30 years of experience to her work, and it absolutely shows. She knows every technique imaginable and has an incredible understanding of hair texture, shape, and style. No matter what I'm looking for--whether it's a precise trim, layers, or a complete refresh--she executes it flawlessly every single time. What I appreciate most is how confident and attentive she is. She really listens, understands exactly what I want (even when I struggle to explain it!), and somehow makes it even better than I imagined. I walk out of every appointment feeling refreshed, confident, and genuinely excited about my hair.

She tried to fix it but still did an awful job. I had to go back to the city I used to live and have my regular stylist fix it for half the price. She also confirmed that this woman did a terrible job. The lack of skill, unprofessional behavior, and price was astoundingly terrible.

I was also able to avail of a Groupon deal for a blowout, haircut & deep conditioning treatment too. Appointments required, either via Vagaro or phone, 48-hour cancellation window. His hours are only Wednesday through Saturday. As other reviewers have said, the parking situation is scarce. The salon is located in Land Park between Sac City College and Meet & Eat, by the Plaza Cervantes Park on 11th Ave and Freeport Blvd. There are free spaces along the curb right in front of the business, but the slanted spaces facing the grass are 15 minutes only. On the other side of the grassy area, they say 1 hour parking until 7 PM, and the ones along Freeport are for Zipcars; the rest is residential. I was told that the parking enforcement isn't as bad now since it's summer and school isn't in session, but I expect that when it is that you'd have to move your vehicle mid-hair appointment. A bright, clean, and inviting Aveda salon space. Only a brief wait (minutes) before being seen by Stephen, I declined refreshments but they did have sparkling water. I had shown some inspo photos which were more conservative collarbone-length A-line angled bobs with or without wispy/blunt/curtain bangs. Ultimately, I went even shorter with a chic layered bob with side-swept bangs. Dry chop first, then the shampoo/conditioning before the real cut and styling/blowout. Stephen has over a decade of experience and has been at Moski for almost a year now. Easygoing relaxed conversation but quality work attentive to detail and the finished look came out super cute for this last part of summer! Definitely feeling fresh and loving the new hair.
