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.

PREFACE: I've always struggled booking hair appointments. Firstly, my hair is very thick and the trial/error process of finding someone that knows how to handle my hair has not been kind to me over the years. Secondly, I have always felt awkward in regular salons where my hair dressers were always very hyper femme and trying to fill the silence with girl talk (often defaulting to heteronormative topics).
AMBIENCE AND SERVICE: This is the first salon that I have ever walked into that has made me feel comfortable or at home. I grew up as a little edgy emo kid, so the feeling of not quite fitting in was sort of a default setting.... read full review
