Monique was absolutely amazing. She gave me her full attention when discussing what I had in mind for my hair. I came in with a very limited idea of what I wanted and she led me to a choice that I couldnt be happier with! At no point did I feel like she was rushing. In fact, about 15 minutes into her next appointment, she realized that the customer no-call-no-showed and she took her time to finish up the haircut. I was seriously impressed with my experience at Moko. Cant wait for my next haircut!
I love Moko! Monique has been cutting my hair for a few years and Ive always walked away feeling so refreshed and beautiful. Its always a good experience and I recommend her to everyone.
My friends, if youre looking for a phenomenal customer service experience, for your hair to turn out BEYOND your greatest expectations, and for an all around stellar time, look no further. I have to say I dont have tons of experience going to other salons as this is thee ONLY place Ive trusted in my 29 years of life. Monique listened to every single word out of my mouth and made my hair my dream come true and was an absolute joy to be around for 4 hours! I just want to let you know I researched hair salons for the last 3 years and never trusted anyone with my virgin hair until now. MOKO is my one and only place. Ethical, organic products, and an atmosphere thats so welcoming and clean were what got me in the door. Monique and the rest of the team are what will keep me coming back!
I use to get my hair cut by Monique twenty-five years ago, and was immediately a big fan. She pays great attention to detail and knows how to shape styles that suit your face. I could take my contacts out and just let her do her thing. We moved away for nineteen years and once returned to Philly reconnected with her right away. In addition to Moniques talent, I love the brightness and cleanliness of the MOKO salon. Highly recommended!
Hands down - Best salon in Philadelphia. Monique is the best colorist Ive been to since I moved from D.C. over a year ago. She is always so welcoming and I just love the salon pooch, Murphy. The other thing I like is that youre not pestered to buy products or add on multiple services. Prices are reasonable, and I have the best auburn color and cut Ive had in my life.
Just had my color and cut at MOKO and, once again, the magic of Monique to make me feel and look great is there-- each and every time. Her expert advice on the awesome products to keep me looking my best until my next appointment really works--More than just an Organic Salon. Love the personalized attention!!
Ive been going to Monique for years and realized Ive forgotten to leave a review. Love MOKO and Monique (also the owner!). Ive always walked out after a haircut feeling amazing. Monique really listens to what youre looking for and takes the time to make sure that shes giving you something amazing that fits your lifestyle.
Savannah. Today. Tomorrow. Always.On 12/11/18, Savannah styled my hair in prep for my appearance the following morning on Good Day Philadelphia.To say that my hair is in a transitional place (length, color, style) is an understatement. It takes a specific stylist, a truly skilled stylist to manage that AND get a non-celebritys hair geared up to be on live television.Savannah is that stylist.While the camera angle didnt capture me straight on (profile on the side where my bangs are) so the viewing audience couldnt see everything Savannah did, I saw and I knew. And the confidence I had, bolstered by the hack she shared, helped me be great on camera.While I live in NYC, I am in Philly every few months. And I now have a favorite salon and a go-to stylist there.Thank you, MOKO, and thank you, Savannah!
Great stylists!They listen well to what I want (or don’t want) but are also super excited to be creative and give me something original and unique! I go here every time I’m ready for a change.The on-tap kambucha and salón dog are fantastic perks!Thanks ladies!
I love my new haircut with Monique!!!!!!!!🥰
Have to agree with the last post, the energy and vibe for the owner was rather pushy and insensitive. There was a lack of courtship and customer appreciation. My resume was reviewed and before I could even check the place out or want to be interviewed I was turned off my the tone and personality of the person on the phone.
For over 10 years I had been getting my hair cut by the same person. When she moved 3 hours away, I was a nervous about who I could trust to cut it. Im a fairly simple guy, dont need much from a haircut, and not entirely sure I would know what to say if did need more. Add to that the fact that Im balding, my options are limited. However, Lily and Moko make me feel right at home. Never any judgment when I ask ridiculous questions or dare to try something a little different than the time before. Very knowledgeable staff when it comes to their products. For guys that just need a simple cut, great welcoming place you can trust.
Lily is the best hairstylist! The best thing about lily is that she actually listens to what you want and gives it to you. She is so much fun and her work is always perfect. I couldnt recommend her enough. Both my fiancé and I love going to her and couldnt be happier with our haircuts every single time. If you are thinking of finding a new hairstylist then look no further than the best!
Been going here since I moved to Philly 3yrs ago since they were next door and had the best reviews. Have been going ever since and will continue to go here. Mens cuts are reasonably priced. Everyone is friendly. Owner is there all the time and very friendly as well. Ive only once had a mediocre cut by a new girl and had to go back, and the owner fixed the cut herself.
My second visit to this adorable beauty spot. I love how fresh and clean the salon is and the cute shop dog, Murphy. The owner, Monique has the studio to herself and its very welcoming. I love the kombuch on tap. And, oh yeah, my hair! My hair is aaaaammmaaazing! The first time Ive had someone paint my hair blonde and get it right. Monique pays alot of attention to detail and is warm and friendly. Best haircolor Ive had in Philly.
Moko has such a beautifully fun atmosphere. The people there are more than welcoming and up for an awesome fun cut!Ill be back in a few weeks for a cut and to get ready for summer. ❤️They make a mean gin and tonic too.
I recently just experienced the artistic team duo of McAmbs (McKenna & Amber) here and absolutely am in love with the results! Ive never colored my hair before, and I naturally have thick, curly, and coarse hair that is hard for me to style on my own. It is obvious that Amber and McKenna took time to discuss the cut and color they were going to do beforehand, keeping my concerns in mind. I felt confident sitting in their chair because they explained their process from start to finish, and that the color would accentuate the cut. I could not be happier with the results. They truly work as a team in all aspects, have a modern and unique approach, make you feel like you are one of their friends not just a client, and leave you feeling like a brand new person when you leave the salon. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Moko is the best salon Ive been to in Philadelphia. I live in Old City and I had the best experience with Monique Mason (?), the owner and master stylist. We consulted for a while, and I really felt she was attentive and listend to all of my concerns (had a bad color job at another Old City salon). We both decided that lots of delicate highlights would blend the old color I had. Also, I was so happy that Monique knows how to do a real razor cut. I moved from NY and Im used to having a great razor or dry cut and other salons here just didnt cut the mustard! Soooo...Its Moko for me! Not only the best organic salon Ive encountered (used to live in Cali, too), but the best salon in my life. Its love .
Moko has been my go to hair, wax and facial salon for years!!! The staff is always kind, knowledgeable and just darn amazing. I wouldnt trust anyone else with my unruly hair or skin. Love Moko to bits!!!!
What can I say? I know the staff of this lovely organic salon and always have the best experience with my haircut and color services.
Been going here for years. Love it
Always here to help out with a last minute hair do. Saved my life so many times when my water heater broke, or last minute meeting or dinner.
Well worth the visit.
Cute space, cool people, good hair
