What We Do

Services that speak
your language

Every appointment is tailored to you — your face, your lifestyle, your mood. We listen first, then we create.

Precision Cuts

From bold bobs to layered masterpieces — our cuts are designed to move with you, not against you. Every angle considered.

Color & Balayage

Vivid fashion colors, sun-kissed balayage, root smudging — we mix pigment like paint and treat your hair like canvas.

Styling & Blowouts

Event ready or just because — our signature blowouts give you that head-turning volume and shine that lasts all night.

Treatments

Keratin smoothing, deep conditioning, bond repair — because beautiful hair starts with healthy hair. We restore, not strip.

Bridal & Events

Your big day deserves more than ordinary. We craft bridal looks and event styles that photograph beautifully and feel unforgettable.

Extensions

Length, volume, or both — our extensions are applied with care and blended so seamlessly, nobody will know but you.

Our Story

Born on Shawmut,
built on belief

Moxie Star Salon started with one simple idea: hair should be fun, fierce, and personal. We opened our doors on Shawmut Avenue with a commitment to making every person who walks in feel like they belong — and leave looking like they own the block.

Our team blends classic technique with current culture. We stay sharp on trends but never sacrifice the fundamentals. Your hair is the conversation — we just help you say what you mean.

Kind Words

What our clients
actually say

We let the results — and the people — do the talking.

I walked in nervous about going blonde and walked out feeling like a totally new person. The team made me feel safe, heard, and genuinely excited about my hair again.

Best salon experience I've had in Boston, hands down. The energy is incredible — you leave feeling like you just had the best night out, except you look even better.

They actually listen. I brought in three different photos and they helped me pick the one that would work with my hair texture and face shape. That kind of honesty is rare.
