A cool place and EXCELLENT hair styling! I've been going to see Sara for more than a decade, she can tame my not-quite-straight-not-quite-wavy hair like none other! Also, now that I'm a bit older, Sara has been helping cover my grey/white strands with super-natural color (which is hard because I'm naturally a strawberry blonde). This place is excellent, and conveniently located right in the middle of Salem.
Update: I’ve been seeing Sara for over a decade and it’s still a wonderful, calm, welcoming place for everyone to get excellent haircare.
I got my curly haircut for the first time at Moon Baby after years of going to other specialists in the Boston area, and I can say this is by far my favorite cut of all time.
Kelsey did an amazing job asking me questions and working with the very little information I provided about what I wanted. She was very sweet and welcoming, and was just an amazing stylist overall. Definitely going back here for all my next cuts.
In terms of the atmosphere, it was a very interesting space with lots of decor, but nothing that overwhelmed me. It was a calm environment and all the other staff were respectful as well. Just a great place overall.
