Moxie Hair Salon

First and foremost. I have not gotten a haircut in 2 years. I’ve had terrible haircuts in the past that leave me in tears! So I now have haircut anxiety, worse than the dentist! I called to schedule an appointment same day, because if I don’t do it same day I will just cancel! I was scheduled with Jillie, who is one of their executive stylists. They allow you to choose a price point as well as the level of experience your stylist has. Executive is the highest level I believe, with a price point starting at $ 50+ which is what I typically spend on a hair cut. Jillie could tell I was nervous but she made me feel right at home. I showed her some pictures of what I was looking for and she made me feel comfortable enough to cut 6 INCHES off! She washed my hair, gave me a scalp massage and gave me the best blow out I’ve ever had in my life!!! She did partial wet cut and partial dry cut which is key for me because I have ethnic/​biracial hair. My hair looks amazing, I don’t remember the last time I’ve left the salon feeling this happy. Thank you thank you Jillie I sincerely cannot wait for my next haircut with you!!!

All I can say is amazing! I went in and wanted an ombré and kayla Boyer definitely knows what she’s doing! She colored it exactly how I wanted it and I couldn’t have been more happier! If you’re looking to get your hair colored or anything else then go to kayla Boyer! Amazing service! Such a nice girl!

This is the best place! Jenna is fantastic! She’s professional, fast, and so sweet. Great if you want the full Salon experience! Have been here for different services walked out loving my hair everytime. Fantastic updos, color, cuts, and waxing.

Over the years I’ve been several times and seen several stylists. The space is contemporary and relaxing (hot towel and scalp massage, OMG), and it’s always been a good experience. Now that I’ve met Meghan though… I’m never going anywhere else. She works MIRACLES with my curly super-​thick hair and I always leave feeling like a model. Plus she’s fun and charming too :)

I made my initial appointment based off the reviews here on Unilocal.I wasn’t too concerned with what stylist got as I don’t have any special concerns with my hair, besides there being a lot of it.
Anyways, I show up for my appointment, super stoked as I hadn’t gotten my hair done in awhile, and… they had me down the wrong time in the computer. I was a bit crabby as they had confirmed the time the day before. They managed to squeeze me in later that day, but moved the time up, after calling and apologizing for the mixup. I was still slightly perturbed, but whatever I’m game. I show up, and end up with Resa (not the original stylist I had made the appointment for), and was not disappointed.
I’m usually game for most things in regards to my hair with few guidelines. I told her I wanted to keep the length, and go darker, but that’s about the extent of it. Usually this means I end up with an okay cut and color, but that wasn’t the case here, Resa did a fantastic job. The best color I’ve had, well, ever, and the cut just added to it. Two weeks later and I’m still getting complimented on how it brings out my eyes.
Lastly, I’m in love with their products. Resa used this root lifting foam (blanking on the name), that I love. Props to her on not pushing it down your throat like many, many other shops do. I gave it a shot, and am now officially in love with it.
I will definitely be back :)

I love Brentt. The thick hair master.
I have hair like a primadonna horse’s tail… thick, wavy, unruly when not cut properly.
I wanted a change… I had long hair for about 10+ years and it was just getting put in a ponytail daily. After having my baby, there just wasn’t time to primp the long wavy hairdo that I had grown so fond of. Plus I needed a change.
After doing research and going to Moxie for a trim/​cut from Meghan (who was very nice and did a fine job)… I decided to go back for my big chop. I liked Meghan but for such a big change I wanted to go to someone with a little more experience… Enter Brentt.
I will admit — I wasn’t crazy about my cut. I went home and tried to style it and was very disappointed. I knew that Moxie had a policy that if you returned within the first week of the cut they’d fix whatever you were unsatisfied with. So I decided to bite the bullet and go back — I was NOT disappointed!
Brentt took one look at me and knew exactly what to do… like a true artist he went back over his work and perfected what he saw needed fixing… It was PERFECT!
I will say this… if there is anyone out there unhappy with their cut — you cannot complain unless you go back and discuss it with your hairdresser. I was soooo happy that I did! I love my new chic wavy bob!!!
If you have any sort of difficult textured hair — Brentt is the man!

Love this place! Matty is the guy I use and I have been very pleased. There is a lot of thick hair in our family that wants to curl some. Since most people do not have such thick hair, you have to get a hairdresser with a lot of experience and training. Matty has given my mother, my daughter, and myself haircuts that we really love. The shampoo and massage is wonderful. The whole salon is very clean and everyone I’ve interacted with has been professional and fun. There is parking in the underground garage so you don’t have to deal with street parking on Grand Ave.

First time try and I am not a happy person! I got there 5 mins early and Sarah checked me in showed me around the salon and offered me something to drink. I didn’t want anything then. She said she would check in with me later. She said my stylist was finishing another client and would be with me soon. I was surprised that the other client was just finishing her wash post color! That didn’t seem like it would finish soon! I kept waiting for 30 minutes and no mention of any delays, no updates or apology. Just as I was getting ready to go talk to Sarah, my stylist walks up to me for a quick chat and consult and said she will be done in 2 mins and went back to finish up her client. I waited for 5 mins and looking at her client it didn’t seem like she was going to be done soon. I walked to Sarah upfront and expressed my concern about the long wait time that I would be late for another appointment, so she said she would talk to my stylist. Long story short … After over 2 hours including the wait, my hair felt the same as I walked in. Didn’t look like I came out of a fancy salon post a nice hair cut!!! Alijah was my stylist. Was recommended by the salon as the right person for my hair type. I must say she seemed a nice person but she didn’t do much of a hair cut to live up to the hype. The volume and length is the same as I walked in. The frizz is still there .Not sure if I was unclear or she didn’t understand, but my hair just seems messy! Will know the reality of the cut once I wash and style it! This place is probably for those who want something funky, trendy and not for the realists like me who want a normal layered cut and styling. The ambience is more industrial with the craftsman stations and the lighting quite bad making it difficult to see the styling post the cut. I had to stand up closer to the mirror to get a clear picture of it through the hand mirror ! Overall with no value for people’s time, poor hospitality (Sarah nor my stylist bothered to check in if I wanted anything). I asked for water before leaving and, seeing me gulp down an entire glass Sarah exclaimed «you must have been really thirsty». Great observation ! It’s definitely not my kind of place and won’t recommend it.

Went in on Thursday to make a big change (bleach to platinum with the ends fading to a rosy pink, starting from a dirty blonde). Megan, my stylist, blocked off a good chunk of her day to make sure that my hair processed and lifted correctly without damaging my hair too much. She listened to what I wanted and I am absolutely in LOVE with they way it turned out and I am very picky about how my hair comes out. I have a beautiful cut and a gorgeous color and my hair is still healthy. Megan is so talented and everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be going back!

My little one has a hair stylist and I don’t. What’s wrong with that statement?
Glad we were able to find a place that cut hair for little people. We went one other place and I didn’t think they did as good a job as they did at Moxie.
Haircuts for kids are limited hours– no walk ins. The gal that cut my little ones hair did a great job. He looks like such a little man. She did a great job with the edges and trimmed it up perfectly for a very reasonable price!
Thank you!

My children think I look beautiful. They want something from me I’m sure. Best hair ever! I keep returning because they really know hair!

I’ve been coming here for 7 years and always had my hair done by Jenny! She’s the best if you’re looking for that animé choppy koan hair emo hair. I’ve never came in with a picture and she’s always did a great job with my hair! I never left unhappy with Jenny!

I decided to try this place out after reading the reviews.
I called in and the receptionist was extremely helpful.
She told me that selecting my stylist based on price points I was comfortable with would be a good way to start, and it was since I didn’t want to invest too much into a haircut.
I selected someone named Jenna, and could not be happier with how things turned out.
She was very informed about my hair type, and had a great idea of what to do after I showed her a picture of how my hair should look like (this was an obstacle for my previous stylist).
Jenna was friendly throughout and told me throughout the cut what she was doing. My hair turned out great and she told me what products she used and wrote them down for me so I could reference them later if I wanted to buy them.
Highly recommend this salon.

Moxie on Grand is amazing! The atmosphere is fabulous along with the wonderful service! My treatment was amazing. I has Megan as a stylist and she is just adorable! She did a wonderful job on my hair, check out the picture :) the price is very pricey! However very worth it. I would go back again!

I decided to cut all of my hair off. I’ve had long hair most of my life (down to my waist), cut it to shoulder length several months ago, and quickly relished the freedom of having to do very little to my hair.
My stylist, Megan, was recommended to me by a friend. I could not be happier with the service I received– relaxed, friendly, and top quality. I usually feel uncomfortable with hairstylist small talk, but she was very charismatic and made me feel at home.
And the hair cut was awesome. I constantly get compliments and people asking where I got it done and who my stylist was. Megan understood PERFECTLY what i wanted– a short cut that wasn’t mom-​ish, that was easy to take care of, and that would compliment my round face. She got it all down– and for thirty five bucks plus tip.
I will be back.

Just moved to the area and went here for the first time. My stylist, Torrey did a great job. She listened to what I wanted and gave helpful suggestions. I had a great experience from start to finish and am very happy with the end results. The atmosphere is super fun too! This is definitely my new salon!

I have been going to Moxie Salon for as long as Gina Wicks has been working there. She is the most amazing stylist, and is the only one that I trust with my hair.
I was very upset to have learned that she is no longer working at Moxie. But I was able to find her via Facebook. Gina Wicks.
Her new salon called:
Hair.E.Tic
4301 Bryant Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55 409
(612) 823‑3928
I really like the ambiance of her new salon, and the environment feels much more personable, not to mention their products line is FABULOUS!
3 *** because Gina is no longer there

I only came here for a style service– not a haircut so my review is based strictly on the blowout experience I had. I came here for a blowout before heading to my boyfriend’s sister’s wedding. I liked everything about the place except the blowout itself. It was a little last minute, so I was just happy to find a place that advertised blowout services that had openings on such short notice. The receptionist was very friendly. The wash beforehand was relaxing and the wash stations are in this neat sectioned off area in the back.
Maybe the stylist I got was just having an off day but she seemed distracted and spent a quite a bit of the time chatting with another stylist. I have very easy hair to deal with, but still ended up with those section kinks curling irons create making the whole hairdo look choppy and not attractive. I ended up needing to brush the whole thing out.
I appreciate salons trying to expand their services, but I’ll be sticking to the blowout bars from now on.

Grrreeeeeaaaaat Service! I have only gone once but it was a lovely experience. I called and got in to see a stylist the same day! She was very friendly and did a great job with my hair. I am not sure what «level» of stylist she was, and it’s hard to know going into it how to chose your stylist’s «experience.» Despite that, though, she was able to handle the long layers in my baby-​fine hair without me walking out looking like I was bald.
I am going with ⁴⁄₅ stars though because each time I have called to get in for a haircut since then they were booked a few days out. For most people this wouldn’t be an issue but for me… when I get the buzz to actually go in for a trim I generally like to go that day. Otherwise I just put it aside and wait another few months. ICK SPLIT ENDS!
I will still recommend Moxie to all my peeps though. It’s a great place!

I have been going to Moxie’s St. Paul location for I think six years now (whoa). I am usually very reluctant to spend a lot of money on this type of thing. But when I decided to go from shoulder-​length hair that I’d been sporting since 3^rd grade to a pixie cut, I wanted to make sure it was high quality.
A few friends recommended Moxie, so I gave it a try. It was nice that the website laid out the price ranges and talks about the stylists a bit – an obvious departure from the nameless Great Clips employees of my childhood. I called, explained what I was looking for, and got an appointment. A note on the appointments: I really really appreciate the phone call reminder two days before. It’s saved me a few times!
Anyway, I love everything about this place. Great ambiance, clean, comfortable, practical and stylish. This new location is even more fantastic thanks to the free underground parking. I love the product lines they use, and the standard practice of a scalp massage during your shampoo. The warm face towel is heaven in the wintertime – it’s like a mini spa-​day as a bonus to your haircut (well, a spa-​several-​minutes, but come on. It’s great).
Jenny has been my stylist since, gah, 2007ish? She’s amazing. I would say I have somewhat challenging hair (it’s got an untame-​able wave to it that starts just about mid-​ear, making things like layering potentially disastrous), and she’s always able to cut it in a way that makes it look naturally great. She also somehow remembers everything that I’ve told her about the goings-​on in my life, despite the fact that I only see her once every 8 weeks, and asks me how things are going.
I always leave Moxie with a smile on my face. What a fantastic salon.
