Pretty Moon is run by its owner and founder, Alyssa Messina, who has 20 years of experience in hair and trained extensively with Vidal Sassoon. The salon describes its focus as education and one-on-one service for each client.
The menu covers haircuts, color, blowouts, braids, updos and bridal styling. Blow dries come in several versions, including wash and blow dry for straight or wavy hair, styling with a curling iron or flat iron, and a longer option for thick hair. Blowout packages are available: buy three blow dries and get one free for $150, or buy five and get two free for $250, both for single client use only.
Color ranges from a gloss toner that the salon says can cover about 75% of gray hair, to single process and double process color, mini hairline highlights, and face frame, partial and full lightening services. Lightening services include toner or gloss and root melt. Hair extension consultations and move-ups are also offered.
Treatments include a hydration mask with a choice of Amika or GK, an express scalp facial done at the shampoo sink with house blend essential oils, and a GK keratin anti-frizz treatment that the salon says can last 4 to 6 months. Kids' haircuts for ages 10 and under include a blow dry.
