Testimonials

``LaMani was so knowledgeable and friendly, and she really took the time to assess my hair and see what it needed. She even tested dyes and products on individual curls to see what would work best... LaMani got my hair all back to my natural color and made sure I was totally satisfied with the end result. I cannot say enough good things about Original Moxie and their team!``

Evelyn

``...There are the many perks that you get at other salons like hot tea and a suite of specialty products. However, the salon products are all-natural. This was the first time a salon didn't try to blow out my hair straight nor did I walk out with a weird catalogue cut which happens more often than not...``

Kiri S.

via Yelp

``25 years and I can finally rock my natural curls with shine, definition, and no frizz! They are miracle workers!!! Their products smell great and are made right here in Ypsi.``

Kiera H.

via Facebook

``I have struggled with my wavy hair for decades--mostly by either heat drying it straight or by pulling it back in a bun bc nothing ever looked good and ive tried a million products. The moxie products were recommended by multiple friends but after reading their website i decided to book an appointment for a cut and consultation. I got an appointment within a couple days. Emma was my stylist. She was thorough in assessing my hair type and cutting/shaping it to coax the curls as well as helping me learn how to care for my hair to protect and encourage the curls and help me get the right products...``

Jessica O.

via Yelp

``The stylists at Original Moxie gave me the perfect style for my hair texture and face shape. Their products make my hair soooo soft, shiny, and manageable. Not to mention, you can trust the ingredients are not toxic and are safe!``
