Moss Salon

Let me start off by saying I went one time, for highlights, three month ago. The salon, while small, was attractively decorated, very clean, friendly receptionists, and I was taken on time. I’m not going to mention my stylist’s name, as she was very friendly and matched my hair color to the chemical color very well. What I was very disappointed in was the application of the color. Instead of taking tiny sections and highlighting every other strand, the color was slapped on in large sections. Usually my hair takes 45 minutes or more for color application; this took approximately 25 minutes. So when the color grew out, huge sections of my hair was very dark. looked like a racoon is on top of my hair! Also, I didn’t ask for a haircut, but I assumed a finishing blowout was included. instead the stylist spent 5 minutes drying my hair. no blowout, which I would have paid extra for if offered. This service is usually included in the price of the highlights. These corrections would improve the salon immensely.

Great place for a professional hair cut in the middle of a busy day in downtown Providence. Qamil is a great hair dresser that I have come to for the last few years. Highly recommended!!!

This is by far the best salon in Providence and, quite possibly, all of RI. Qamil takes excellent care of my hair (and me!) but you can’t go wrong with any of the stylists at Moss. The salon is spacious and beautifully designed… stations are positioned in different directions and far enough apart, so it feels more private, unlike salons that have a row of stations against a wall.
Moss carries several high end product lines, including my favorite, Kerastase. It’s a bit of a splurge, but their ‘frequent buyer’ card helps! They also have a self serve tea/​coffee/​water bar… a nice touch.

I have been seeing Lena to do my hair for years– even before she worked here. The salon is always clean and the staff is friendly and professional. I like to check out other hairstyles I see here, and they’re all nice!

I went to Moss Salon because of its high Unilocal ratings, and I was not disappointed. The salon has a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. Those at the front desk made me feel very comfortable. Lindsay gave me a great cut and color. She is clearly a professional at her work. She spent time discussing with me what I wanted. She gave good suggestions but also listened to what I wanted for my hair. I’m so happy to have found this salon and would recommend highly.

This place is fantastic! I have been coming to Moss for years to see Zelia and I wouldn’t trust my color to anyone else. The salon is bright and luxurious and the staff are always friendly and helpful. You can always get a coffee, water or glass of wine with your service and the selection of products is excellent. They have an arrangement with a lot behind the salon so inexpensive and convenient parking is a breeze too! I highly recommend Moss Salon!

I have been getting my hair done at Moss Salon since I moved to Rhode Island over a year ago. I was nervous to try out a new salon because my previous hair dress had been doing my hair for 7 years, however, I am so happy at Moss! Kelly has been my hair dresser and she is AMAZING!
So Kelly is honestly one of the best hair dressers, ever. I have long brown (boring) hair and she always gives me the most beautiful dark brown color. Also, she has given me numerous cuts and I have loved every single one of them. She is so friendly and easy to talk to! I always get compliments on my hair — I highly recommend going to Kelly, if you want to try out Moss Salon!

I’ve been going to Moss for years. Love this place. No matter who you get, you’re in the best hands!!!

My wife and I got out makeup done by Robyn at Moss Salon. She was excellent! We both loved the way our makeup came out, it lasted all night and she is so sweet! Highly recommended :)

I have been going to Moss Salon for almost three years now — the longest I have been a client at any salon! Alicia is wonderful! I have long hair and she gives it amazing shape. It’s always clean and bright and the girls at the front desk are very friendly. I highly recommend this salon!

I have been a client of Moss Salon for over 17 years! I always feel welcome, special and pretty. My color and highlights are a work of art by owner, Tammy. My haircuts with Kelly are stylish and chic. She is a master talent with a blow dryer. Sia, the salon manager is a darling and offers the best coffee with a hint of cinnamon.
I highly recommend Moss Salon for all your hair styling needs.

I recently had a cut and color at Moss with Zelia. She’s an alchemist with color. She brought back the hair I had in my twenties which was gold, auburn and red. She managed to bring all three colors back. I have very straight hair (always envied those that had some kind of wave to it). Her expertise in layering my hair gives the illusion that I indeed have a bit of wave to it.
Zelia is a Hair Artiste.

Since I was in the area, I called for a walk in brow wax. They were able to accommodate me and got me in and out in 10 minutes! Awesome place, would recommend it all day long.

Moss Salon has a sophisticated yet fun atmosphere in a great downtown Providence location. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re part of something special; the young women at the desk welcome everyone with a smile. The quality of the products and the level of expertise among the staff is unbeatable. One of the owners, Michael F., is a gem who works his magic every time. Head to Moss. You won’t be disappointed.

Laurie is the most dynamic stylist I have ever come across! She’s personable and patient. Laurie is both a precision cutter and a very creative skilled colorist. The salon is comfortable and bright, their email booking reminders are quite nice and I love that you get to enjoy a glass of complimentary glass of wine, cinnamon coffee, water or tea.

Qamil is basically my new best friend. Kelly is pretty rad, too.
Staff is nice and welcoming, and they do great work. Very comfortable atmosphere. Very competent staff. I used to do my own hair most of the time. Not anymore! Cough up the cash and let Moss do it the right way.

Thank goodness for Moss Salon. I’ve been an extremely satisfied client at Moss for over a decade.
Jody Butler was my first stylist at Moss Salon. Jody is a talented stylist and lots of fun. I tried another salon for a little bit that was closer to home (big mistake). I ended up back at Moss and Jody was completely booked.
However, I met Nicole Landry and have continued to receive high quality service. Nicole cuts, colors and styles my hair with the utmost professionalism, plus she understands my hair! I have thick, coarse, unruly and at times frizzy hair. I have NEVER had a bad experience at Moss. Nicole is very professional, always on time and knows exactly how to cut and color my hair to enhance it. My hair is now silky, healthy and easy to maintain with Nicole’s TLC.
Moss Salon is conveniently located and metered parking is readily available. Moss carries a wide range of hair, jewlery and skin care products. Clients are treated like royalty at Moss Salon. The atmosphere is totally friendly and relaxed. I cannot imagine ever going anywhere else– Moss Salon is the perfect one stop shop for people wanting to feel pampered and radiant.

I wanted to give a brief update as my previous review is more than two years old, and a lot can happen in two years. I have to admit — I strayed from Qamil, and in doing so learned a valuable lesson: don’t. When you find someone who understands your hair, listens to what you want and makes you feel good, don’t give ‘em up. It’s just silliness.
Qamil walked me through a very awkward grow-​out process, only agreeing to cut very little to give my hair shape over the course of a good 9 months. Once we reached the desired length, only then did he start to work in layers and styling ideas. He even gave me my first — gasp! — haircolor (which was really only a glaze and really didn’t so much color my hair as add shine and hydration. I highly recommend trying it – it’s quite luxurious). My point is this: Qamil understood what it was I wanted for my look, and he stuck to the course even when I got impatient and frustrated. He waited out my whims and then gave me and my crazy hair exactly the cut we needed.
Because my hair is in a chin-​length bob, I find myself going in every 6 – 8 weeks for a trim to keep things under control (as one does with thick, curly hair). Qamil and the ladies at the desk are always warm, welcoming and professional. They also carry my most favorite product line, Moroccanoil, as well as Deva Curl, Oribe and Kerastase, which is pretty sweet.
Again, this guy knows thick curls — it’s in his blood. The salon is always bustling and busy, cozy and glamorous at the same time. It’s my go-​to place, for sure. I’ll not likely stray again.

Love this Salon! Everything about it is what it should be. Typically, I go in frazzled and come out dazzling. Time spent at Moss is some of my best me time!

I’ve been here twice in the past 12 months and enjoyed both experiences.
The first time around, I didn’t have a stylist preference and was booked with Qamil.
He’s personable, funny and very attentive.
He makes an effort to understand your hair care (or in my case lack of) routine and come up with style to fit this. I never really have any idea what to do with my hair and he’s patient and helpful with my indecision and lack of knowledge about all things hair related.
The salon is also lovely. Beautifully decorated, spacious and bright.
It’s a little expensive for my college student budget, but the peace of mind knowing that I will not walk out of there with a hair cut I don’t like or looking stupid is worth it.
