Since the quarantine was finally easing up it was time to get my hair fixed. I made an appointment with 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! read more

MOXI & Lindsay are more than a hair color appointment. The vibe in the salon is one of a team of professionals that genuinely like each other and working together. Today another stylist, Brittney, had 20 min of letting a client's treatment set so she came over to Lindsay and asked if there was anything she could do to assist her. How awesome to have 2 stylists doing my color!! And, it got me out of there a little bit early too! Go have the MOXI Salon, on Nob Hill Experience. read more

Stryker is a talented and caring stylist! He makes you feel great about your hair. Funny! read more

I get root dyes from Skyler. He's the BEST.. He's super friendly and engaging. He does a great job. He cares that you really like the color. He goes over swatches with you and blends different colors to get the right one. read more

Krystal was amazing! My daughter wanted colored "racoon tails" and she really took the time to make her feel seen, heard and made sure she got exactly the results she was looking for. The vibes of the salon are super positive and welcoming. Multiple team members pitched in for the blowout at the end, which added to the fun atmosphere. Great experience from start to finish, and worth every penny! I highly recommend this stylist and salon. read more

Amazing! I have curly long hair. If it is not cut properly the shape and weight can be daunting. Hailey did a fabulous job. My hair looks awesome and falls perfectly wether styled straight or naturally curly. Looking forward to my next visit read more

I called for a next day appt and Meghan was absolutely amazing! She was able to book my apt no issues and even followed up with a text on advice where to park. The salon is beautiful, the staff was very warm and friendly. Hayley was my stylist and she is an angel. So sweet! Genuinely one of the best haircuts I've ever received in my life! She also showed me how to style it as she was doing my blow out. I've received so many compliments on my hair! Highly recommend!!! read more

Brittney and Stryker turned my hair from orange to beautiful beach blonde. Their attention to detail and ability to work so well together was truly an art. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process and trusted them both. During my consultation, Brittney listened to exactly what I wanted and had excellent ideas for how to get me the coloring that I was hoping for. She also never made me feel bad about my terrible decision to do a box dye which caused the orange mess to begin with (an experience I had at another local salon). Finally, the entire vibe of the salon feels very friendly, inviting, and there is a real sense of familial love between all the stylists. Also, when I was initially freaking out about my orange box dye hair, Jerome was so helpful in getting in touch right away, asking me for photos, information on the dye, and what my intended look was. He passed along the info ASAP and got me booked for a consult right away. I am so glad I found Moxi and will definitely be back!!! read more

To be honest, that is the worst place I could pick in Albuquerque. I got hair cut by a man there, I look funny!! He wanted to cut my bang too short, I took back my head and said no! Longer! My bang is still fucking short!! Idk what to do!! I would never go there! Never recommended!!!! read more

Highly recommend Hailey! She listened to what I wanted, and had excellent ideas to make it happen. I love love love my haircut! Pleasant, relaxed atmosphere as well. Great "me" time! read more

Krystal is the best. I usually avoid getting hair cuts sense I have curly hair and I'm afraid it will get messed up. But she did an amazing job! She's also very kind and very excited about what she does. read more

Went to this place for a number of years, loved my stylist. The last time I went, I was handed over to a very inexperienced assistant to wash my hair, that not only soaked my shirt, but made for a very unpleasant wash (burning hot water and pulling my hair). I told her politely to be a little more gentle and turn the water a little cooler. After this I was handed back over to my stylist, and I was trying to stay positive. I understand people need to get experience to be trained. But then my stylist proceeded to give me an attitude about the style I wanted because it wasn't how she normally did my hair. When I insisted, she got very quiet and did the hairstyle. As I left, tipppng generously by the way, I heard my stylist instruct the front desk girl to schedule me with someone other than herself...never been back since. I felt very disrespected and unappreciated. Three stars because it was very good until that fateful day. read more

Moxi Hair Studio - Shannon Vigil cutting hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The hair studio that makew sure you get there on time! I have been a loyal Moxi customer since close to it's first days, I love the ambiance and friendly attitude of the staff and stylists, and Candace has been a good friend and incredibly patient with my mound of unruly hair. But today she went well above and beyond to get me to my appointment! About 20 minutes before I was supposed to get to the appointment, I went to the car only to discover that the battery was dead! Before trying to figure out what I should do about the situation, stranded as I was at a local pharmacy, I texted Candace "I'm going to be late for my appointment! My battery is dead!" Her response was "oh are you close? I'm on break, I'll come give you a boost!" And within 5 minutes she was there boosting my poor car and I made the appointment with 5 minutes to spare! Now that's what I call good customer service! Not only that but the haircut was super cute as well! Best hair studio ever! read more

It's hard to find great stylists in Albuquerque. I tend to accidentally follow trends and it's important to me that my stylist is knowledgeable about new styles, techniques, products, etc. This is why when Michelle left Project Luxe I followed her to Moxi. Michelle Lite is a gift from the hair gods. Not only does she keep up with all of the above mentioned preferences, she is a rock star at educating clients on how to achieve their salon look at home, best products for their specific goals, etc. Michelle is patient, passionate, and hardworking, making sure that you do not leave feeling anything but relaxed and gorgeous. I could write an entire novel about how wonderful Michelle is, but I think you should do yourself a favor and just check her out for yourself. I will mention that, as mentioned by other reviewers, I am not a huge fan of the line of shampoos and conditioners. However, I was aware that this salon uses Davines products before deciding to follow Michelle, so I can't complain too much about that. They are not terrible by any means, I just LOVE Oribe products. read more

Here again!!! Loving the new split end treatment I got. It last 6 weeks and the new clay lightener can't be topped anywhere in Albuquerque. Everyone needs to check this place out! Peace Love and Beautiful hair!!! read more

Moxi Hair Studio - Awesome beautiful and professional experience! I love the fact that they recycle everything! Even your cut hair. Products are exceptional. - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Michelle Lite moved here from Project Luxe and she is still beyond excellent. I'm not a fan of the line of shampoos/conditioners they use, but the color line is awesome. Word to the wise, it's definitely pricier by quite a bit than it was at Project luxe. Luckily, I can afford it right now, but it might not be feasible to keep up with in the future. I highly recommend Michelle and the owner, Shannon! read more

I have gone here a couple times and my last visit the color ended up being darker than I expected. I let the salon know and the owner and stylist immediately scheduled me another appointment. I went in a few days later and had a new balayage treatment done, the color was amazing! It was even better than I had expected! I was fully comped for the fix, nothing additional out of pocket. I also was not expecting that, what a surprise. I am a customer for life, this salon and the stylist here have integrity and humility. They will always have my business- THANK YOU Halley and Shannon! read more

I am so grateful for Michelle for fixing my hair after it was fried and mis-colored from the last salon I went to. I thought my hair was unfixable but she spent all day with me, worked her magic and did what she could to fix my hair. Thank you so much I really appreciate your diligence read more

You should expect nothing but the best at Moxi! Shannon gave my hair exactly the TLC it was needing. This was the best haircut I've had in a long time. The salon is super cute and the prices are very reasonable. Shannon was very easy to talk to and she listened to my concerns. When I mentioned that I was visiting from out of town and I that I didn't bring my good shampoo, she gave me a big handful of samples to get me through my stay! This would be my regular spot if I still lived in Albuquerque. I highly recommend Shannon and Moxi salon! read more

Such a talented group of artists! Shannon makes sure every visit is up to the high standards this salon is known for. I've been going to Shannon for more than 10 years and can honestly say I have never been disappointed. Camron is an awesome colorist and always takes his time to make sure everything's just right. He explains the products he uses on my hair and why, which is a plus! During the pandemic, they have taken every precaution to make sure all are safe. read more

I booked with stylist Camron Robles. At my consultation I showed Camron photos of when I previously had fully bleached and dyed hair. In the photos my hair was very even. He told me that we could achieve these results in one session and even gave me a slip that said we would just need a 5 hour session for the full bleaching and fashion color. I paid 400, not to mention the fees, tax, and tip. After my appointment, I noticed banding and discoloration all around my hair. He had not mentioned this and had not mentioned a rebooking and was fine letting me leave like that believing we were done. I called them and provided them with photos, to which they told me I would need to rebook and pay hundreds more to fix what he had left me with. He then proceeded to BLOCK me on Instagram. While I completely understand that the results I asked for might not be achievable in one session, he failed to communicate that to me before and after the appointment and let me believe it was achievable. He didn't make me aware of the banding situation or offer any solutions. He also posted a story with a video of the process and kept it up on his page after blocking me. read more

Highly recommended this great hair salon in Nob Hill neighborhood! I'm visiting Albuquerque for a few months, and in need for a trim. I got a same-day appointment with Candace. She was very friendly and welcoming, listened to what I needed and she did a fantastic job :) Thanks Candace for the awesome haircut! read more

Worst experience ever. Over priced. Color lasted less than a week. Called to complain several times and no return phone call. DO NOT GO HERE! Waste of money and employees are beyond rude! read more

Just noticing there isn't enough praise on here for my grr, Candace. Her cuts get me booty every time.

I was in a jam. It was 12:30PM on a Tuesday and I was about to go have photos of me taken for my website at 2PM when I walked into ANOTHER salon and they told me they were running a half hour late. I just didn't want that stress in my life. Before that, my regular hair stylist was not returning any of my calls or texts about taking care of me that day. I was beginning to get a complex. I decided to try Moxi. Isn't there a saying...? Something like God closes one salon door so he can open another one? And yeah, I went there. I'm a woman. This is my hair! Moxi was great. Brea was able to fit me in. The owner was totally sweet and calmed me down (without knowing I was a hot mess) and I headed over. Brea was totally sweet. I have a pretty open mind so when I saw Brea-who is beautiful--and sporting a completely different look than the girl-next-door of my comfort zone I hoped -- I trusted -- that she was a pro and could do it right. Do it right?! Girrrrrrrl, she did my healthy girl-next-door better than anybody! I have tricky, aging hair and she rocked it. In a way me or no one else has been able to do in the past few years. I'm so happy, she's my new hair stylist. I'd be paying a bit more, but she's worth it. She got me! Also, I usually roll my eyes and think of the 87 containers of various hair products I have to clean out and toss every year when stylists tell me about their hair products. Brea didn't give me any sales pitch. She let the products speak for themselves and they were great. Super light, they held and soothed my hair -- for what's been 2 days now! For the first time in YEARS I bought a couple hair products at a hair salon! They were really sweet and threw in a couple candles for me. It was a surprise I pulled out of the bag later. I'll come back with an update when I get a haircut. But this place is great. Also, in terms of cost, this salon does NOT strike me as high end. They look pretty standard to me. Maybe slightly higher? read more

I hadn't had my hair professionally cut in years and came here to have more than 6" taken off. Amber was awesome to work with and I highly recommend her. She gave me exactly what I asked for. I ended up going back a few days later to have her style my hair for a formal event and she did an amazing job again. read more

Moxi Hair Studio - Cut and style by Amber Rosales - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Untrustworthy, crappy salon, Shannon is crap. The manager is incompetent and unreliable, the hair-dressers stink and are un-wanted and un-needed! read more

I chose this salon based on the multiple rave reviews it receives. I was NOT disappointed. I was greeted warmly and given my free consult with a lovely stylist named 'Kimber'. I had a creative vision of what I wanted done with 'color' and she consulted with the owner and then boldly delivered it beautifully!!! Her expertise of 'design' in the placement of the color and the beautiful HEALTY outcome in the texture of my hair, made the overall effect AMAZING. I have already recommended this salon and stylist to a few friends. read more

This was my first time here. While waiting for my appointment a gentleman came in, said he didn't have anything and asked them to make him pretty. Camron gave him the full salon experience. When he left, he was so happy and Camron told him to come back monthly and he'd get the same treatment. It was amazing! Candace cut and styled my hair. She did a great job. I definitely recommend this place! If I could give more stars, I would. read more

Hailey did a wonderful job on my short cut!! She did exactly what I wanted. She was kind and staff was friendly! Studio had great COVID cleanliness practices as well. read more

I'm new to Moxi but I've now been there twice to see Cameron. He is always prompt and is excellent with cut and color. If you're looking for a new saloon or just want to mix things up you should check them out! read more

Love everything about this place. Bread has taken care of my hair since 2013. It's like seeing a friend from the past every time.

So I was looking for a new salon and I need a hair cut. After reading reviews, Cameron came up multiple times as a stylist women enjoyed. Cameron was fantastic!!! He was polite and attentive to what I wanted done with my hair! He is a fantastic stylist and really takes care of your hair. The price also isn't bad compared to some shops that want to charge anywhere from $60 to $75 for a cut. read more

Ariel did a great job on my hair. I have scheduled an appointment for highlights I cant wait! Shannon the owner is a great person. Their products are fantastic. They will make sure that you love your hair before you leave. read more

Never ever will I allow any other stylist touch my hair because frankly I think I have found the best there is! Shannon the owner takes pride in her work as well as the function of her salon. She's so down to earth and truly listens to what you're looking for. The staff is very knowledgable and can give expert advice and recommendations on your style needs. If your looking for expert stylists and outstanding customer service this is the place to be! I'm so happy I found the right home for my salon needs! ;) read more

I am so glad I followed a co-worker's recommendation and went to Moxi. Brea cut my hair and it's perfect, exactly what I wanted, and she added the exact kind of layers I asked for and wanted. I always wait a few days after a cut to review to make sure I like it when I style it on my own and I love it more every day. After a rather traumatizing visit to another stylist in town with a groupon, my faith in good stylists is renewed. I will definitely be back to see Brea! read more

There comes a time in the life of every punkrock/DIY/frugal/cheapskate when they look in the mirror and realize they need to suck it up and get a real/grown up/professional/stylish/GOOD haircut. Go here, get one. Life is too short to settle when you can make such an improvement so easily. I'm out of my element there, as most of the haircuts of my life were at "Mom with the bowl over my head" salon, graduating to "self-mohawk over the sink at 3 AM." When the season changes I tend to freak out at the heat and pick a sleepless night to butcher my head in an impatient rush to get it all off. I'd had one mange too many though- I just wanted to look good (and did not want to look boring) but I didn't know where to start. Most options in this town fall into either the discount camp (who wants to get the khaki of haircuts? WHY?!) or the eye-rolling hair pun-titled (I have not seen it, but I'd bet cash that "Hair's Looking At You, Kid" exists). I don't see the point in going through all that fuss just to pick something cheesy. ...okay, fine, I was stalling. I'm not a nervous person but this made me nervous. Hair is such a part of your identity; I didn't want to grow up. I was scared of snobs or being treated like a chore. I was scared of past haircuts that left me in hat for two weeks waiting for something to grow out. Moxi sounds good- not too cheesy. I knew Dani from around as one of the super-cool. I can do this. Man-up, Levi. I still put it off. I should not have worried here. Dani was funny, friendly, sympathetic- she really listened. She really got it. The environment is great looking but comfortable- I didn't feel pressure or out of place. The process was fun, discussing style with someone stylish who still understands classic looks and tailored it all specifically to me. There is conversation and pampering without the creepy service-industry feeling- real professionals who respect and are respected. I'm not used to being treated so well- and I've gotten so many compliments. The whole thing kind of went to my head ... no pun intended, seriously. From the first discussion- which brought up things I hadn't even thought of or didn't know I could ask, to the final hair wash- which let me walk out refreshed and ready to crush the world in my killer new cut- everything about it made me wish I'd learned earlier to treat a haircut like the opportunity it really is. I went back and took my daughter (age 11) for her first fancy haircut. Nothing in life will ever beat seeing your little girl look in a mirror and see her young-adult future looking back. She looked beautiful and Moxi made her FEEL beautiful. She walked out carrying herself differently, seeing herself differently. That is priceless. Thank you, Dani, thank you, Moxi. read more

Dani styled my hair so cute for a friends wedding. I love Shannon the owner and Brea the other stylist here. I do hair myself and coming in to this salon is a special treat! I highly recommend read more

I went to Moxi (Shannon) a few weeks ago for the first time and wow, I will definitely be returning. It had been awhile (seriously 2 years) since I had gotten a cut, so needless to say I was looking a little ragged when I came in. Shannon was attentive, deliberate, and patient as a hairdresser, and absolutely lovely to talk to. The cut was amazing, and above all I felt taken care of! I definitely recommend Moxi to anyone looking for a beautiful, fresh cut. read more
