Salon Moxi

I’ve been seeing Glynn for about 8 years. She always inspires me to try new things and be bold. As a result I’ve always got rockin hair!
If you want to be inspired and LOVE the way you look, see Glynn!

Omg. I walked by here on my way to nue. My gf told me she was running late and I saw this place. I stopped and looked on Unilocal for reviews and decided to stop by. Thank the lawd above for letting me notice this place.
I met Glynn and she cut my bangs really quick before I met my gf. World of difference
I look so much more composed now!
That and I was thinking of finding a stylist here. I’ve always cut my hair in LA but I think I may have found a keeper. Hopefully I can come back before my trip to get my hair cut and colored.
In love *heart*

I just want to reiterate that, over four years later, Heidi’s the only person in Seattle who’s cut my hair, and that is a statistic I hope to maintain, period.
I’ve referred many others and everyone has been happy, and I’ve seen what appear to be many satisfied customers in the chairs next to mine.
This is a great, small, personal salon.

Had a very bad haircut and came to Salon Moxie and Carlin to fix it — The first time I went, Carlin explained how my hair was growing out (very bad) and did a cut which turned out to be great. That said, I had to go back 4 weeks later (I have short hair) to get a better cut and Carlin did just that. Perfect cut and I have had so many compliments on it. I come from Redmond and it is worth the trip across the bridge to have Carlin cut my hair. I totally recommend Salon Moxie!

Okay, I haven’t had my haircut here in ages, but I wanted to give a shout out to the amazing service here. I used to come in just to buy my hair product «Gritty Business» every few months. One time, my batch seemed really weird, so I took it back. They informed me that they had stopped putting walnut shell powder in it, so it wasn’t as «gritty» as it used to be. They happily refunded my money and had me try out another product. It was good, but not quite what I wanted, so I decided to suck it up and go back to my old, now inferior product. Imagine my surprise when close to A YEAR LATER, one of the stylists remembered me. She said «hold on, don’t buy that» and proceeded to bring me a couple dozen sample packets of my ORIGINAL hair product. «Use these before you come back for the new stuff.» I don’t know how she even remembered me, but it was such a great gesture. Those samples lasted me almost an entire year. I’m rapidly balding, so I don’t bother with expensive haircuts anymore. But I will always hold the staff at Moxi in a special place in my heart. Thanks again!

I saw Glynn for a cut and ombré balayage, and couldn’t haven’t walked away happier! Glynn is sweet, fun to talk to, and has a great sassy sense of humor. Normally, I like to close my eyes and relax when getting my hair done, but Glynn is a hoot and we ended up chatting the whole time.
Technically, I could tell that she has a lot of depth of knowledge in terms of coloring and hair care. She was able to recommend a high quality, organic shampoo/​conditioner combo at a price within my budget. Also, when I wasn’t 100% happy with the balayage, she had me come back in a week later for her to touch it up, free of charge. All, in all Glynn, and Salon Moxi, are awesome!

I went in to get my hair styled by Glynn and oh boy, did she take care of me. She made sure I was 100% comfortable the entire time, offering me drinks and consistently checking to make sure she wasn’t hurting me in any way. By the time I left the salon I felt amazing. My hair was the softest it had ever been and I looked and felt glamourous. For a week after that I kept trying to recreate what she’d done but nope! She’s a true pro. I plan on going back to her every time I need a haircut or color or anything.

I hate getting my haircut because I have no idea how to explain how I want it. I saw Cairlin at Moxi and decided to tell her how I wanted it to accent my face. She had little direction and did a wonderful job. I’m very happy.

I was in desperate need of a trim and wanted to try a new salon since my last salon stopped impressing me. I had a lot of split ends and wanted to bring some shape to my long hair without losing length. Heidi managed to bring some great layers and managed to cut a lot of my split ends without losing too much length. She was super pleasant and fun to talk to and I felt like she made sure to take the time to understand what I wanted.
She also made sure to guarantee her work which is always reassuring.

I had called the day before and booked my appointment with Carlin. The booking process was short and simple. I had never been there before and the receptionist picked Carlin for me.
I got there 20 minutes early and Carlin was available so she sat me right away. She was personable without being too talkative. She asked me what I wanted and made sure that she understood what I was asking her to do.
Overall, I’m happy with the haircut. There was a little issue with one side of the bangs being longer than the other. But Carlin told me she guaranteed her work and I could have went back and had her trim it if I wasn’t happy with the cut.

Within a day of getting a haircut from Heidi I got engaged, won the lottery, and got an endorsement from Wheaties. Well no, that didn’t really happen, but I got such a terrific cut that I felt pretty darn good. She really understands superfine hair with a crazy curl/​wave pattern. She is a superior hair stylist.

I have been coming here for almost 2 years now and I have yet to leave unhappy. Carlin always listens to what I want and let’s me know what she thinks. The salon itself is in a great location.
I never have trouble parking and I hear there may be some updating of the interior. I get super excited to get my hair done every time I make an appointment.
I have never been happier about my hair stylist.

Long story short: I went in über excited and left highly disappointed :-/
I am not someone who often complains but my experience at Moxi is what inspired me to create a Unilocal account to express my negative experience. I usually would just not return, but I spent $ 140 on my hair and deserved to have a good experience. I called and then saw the hair stylest who had helped me (Carlin) but she was not apologetic or helpful in anyway.
I went to Moxi to have two shades of color added to my hair: purple and black ($ 75). She also trimmed my hair before the dye was added ($ 50) but there was no styling and hair was not even dried completely because she was late for another appointment. I spent $ 125 before tip and I left a with my hair untidy/​unstyled, a shade of purple i didn’t get to vote on, and with purple dye on my forehead and ears. Plus she had two hair apts overlapping mine which feels unprofessional at best.
After my hair had dried, it became apparent that only the top part of my hair actually took the dye and the rest just appeared black. As I stated before, I called Carlin who stated that this was due to not being able to bleach out my hair evenly due to my past hair dye color. This was something she failed to mention to me during my time at Moxi. Her only assistance was offering me the leftover purple dye that she used from my hair. I asked for her to retouch it or something to make it look decent, but she said that I should give it time and the rest of the purple should start to show up. It’s been four washings and that hasn’t happened yet. My visit today she simply gave me the dye and shrugged again that it was the previous dye and that she «could do it again but my hair would fall out». I stated that I spent $ 140 and I expected it to look good but no empathy whatsoever.
I will never return to Moxi, and I suggest not making an appointment with Carlin for anyone who plans on going.

This was the haircut/​foil I kept going back to a local upscale chain for, but never really was heard. First try here & PERFECT!!! Finally compliments at the office !
Carlin is present and professional, with an intuitive flair w/​o being hipper than thou… and best of all, at ease with neurotics like me.
Great experience.
Highly recommended.

Both my husband and I have been going to Salon Moxi for years! Heidi’s been his stylist for at least 8 years, and she always gets his hair just right — short on the back, just a little longer up top for the wavy /​curly hair. I’ve been seeing Carlin for about 3 years, and she does a great job with my asian hair. We do dark brown highlights that naturally lighten up a bit as they fade which look great year-​round — easily extended with an all-​over toner rather than having to lighten every appt. She also does a great long-​layered cut that is easy for me to maintain by air-​drying or styling for an evening out.
Everyone at the salon is pretty chill, and I’ve seen all sorts of interesting hair cuts /​styles, it’s clear that they listen to what their clients want and can really deliver some amazing results! I also love all the products they use here — they never push them on you, but you will probably have a hard time going back to drugstore products when you feel how soft and amazing your hair feels!

I’ve been going to Salon Moxi for years. Trista was great — I was growing my hair out and she gave me cuts that worked very well for months and allowed me to extend the tme between visits. She was fun to talk to and gave me some extra styling (that I wasn’t expecting) one time when I had a show to attend after my appointment. Trista left a year ago and I’ve been going to Carlin and am now motivated to write a review.
I think Carlin is the first stylist I’ve ever gone to who really, really gets what I want (both in cut and color) when I come in. She sees my hair not as a problem to overcome (which I’ve experienced a lot over the years), but an opportunity to be creative. When I want to do something off the beaten track she gets excited about it instead of trying to talk me out of it. She believes me when I say the color cannot be too bold, or when I’m specific in what I want, but she also adds her opinion of how to achieve what I want or makes suggestions based on what she knows. I heart Carlin!
Everyone at Salon Moxi is super nice. The atmosphere is chill, the music is good, and the location is excellent. It’s a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

When I first moved to Seattle years ago I had a hard time finding a new hair stylist. I bounced from place to place and couldn’t find anyone that did a good job with my fine, limp hair.
I stumbled upon Salon Moxi (thank you Unilocal!!!) a couple years ago and I have been seeing Trista ever since. She really understands how to cut fine hair. I’ve also gotten color from her that was beautifully done.
I think the prices are reasonable, and everyone who works there is really laid-​back and nice. Definitely not salon snobs!
I would totally recommend Salon Moxi to anyone.

I’ll admit I chose to come here because there was a promo on CL to help Carlin along with building her client base. But a friend of mine who lives upstairs goes there too and loves it so that wasn’t the only reason. One day, once I’m out of this grad school purgatory, I’ll be able to afford a consistent hair dresser. And if I could choose such a person, I think I’d actually stick with Carlin.
I had long overgrown layers and about 5″ of hideous growth from highlights that were pretty light. She got my hair back to natural, gave me the cute purple streaks underneath that I wanted (in a great color that she suggested), and cut my hair perfectly. Layers trimmed, great textured ends, love it.
So yeah definitely give Carlin a try. She’s good! No pushing to sell products, no judgment made about the terrible state of my hair, none of that snooty stuff.
My only disappointment is I didn’t get to meet this salon dog, Luna, that I just read about. How cool is that to have a salon dog. I love dogs!

Over a year after my first review and I am still going to Trista! It’s now a total of 2+ years she has taken care of my haircut needs. I love the salon and all the staff, plus Luna is as cute as can be.
I had wanted my hair cut short (had hair past my shoulders) for a long time. But each time I discussed the idea with Trista, she felt I wasn’t ready. I thank her for realizing that for me because I wasn’t ready. But last November when I went in for my regular cut… I said I wanted it short and she finally agreed and said she thought it was about time! The cut was amazing and I was ready for it like she said.
I seriously do not know what I would do without Trista. She keeps me looking like myself and feeling great about my hair!

I’ve been toying with the idea of going to a new stylist now that I’m hanging out in Capitol Hill. One of my friends, whose cut I admired, suggested that I come to Heidi at Salon Moxi. It’s a fun, friendly salon with a relaxed attitude. Don’t forget to say hi to Luna, the salon dog. A couple of the stylists have some colorful hair, but don’t let that put you off. It’s part of the funky attitude, and I think it shows they want to have fun with their hair. When it comes to their clients, these ladies know what they’re doing!
Heidi took the time to consult with me on what I was looking for. She asked about my routine (air dry or blow dry), what products I use, offered length and volume suggestions for my face shape, and really got to know my hair before she even picked up the scissors.
I must have gulped a bit as I saw hair flying around, and she calmed me down by saying this was part of giving me some more volume, which required a few more layers. She continued her Edward Scissorhands moves, and then checked to make sure the sides were even. Heidi applied a yummy-​smelling styling cream from Kevin Murphy, told me about the product, but didn’t put a hard-​sell on me. She also offered that I could come back in 4 – 6 weeks for a free bang-​trim to shape up the front. A reasonably priced cut, a free in-​between trim — what a deal! I sauntered out of Moxi with an updated cut, swinging my new layers.
I find that the true test of a good haircut is the first wash and style at home. Can you make it look good when you do it yourself? I’m pleased to say that my new cut makes it even easier to style my hair at home and I’m really happy with the additional layers that give me a lot more movement. Yep, it’s a good haircut! Thank you Heidi! Moxi rocks!
