The Moon Salon (Santa Cruz)

Ming helped my untraditional wedding dream come to life. They found a haircut that finally made my curls feel alive while still helping me feel like myself something I had honestly never experienced before. People say a good haircut can bring confidence, but I didn’t understand that until working with Ming. For our wedding, Ming made both me and my partner feel glamorous, seen, and deeply supported. They are incredibly queer-friendly, and their presence brought so much love and comfort to the day. Ming even stepped in to help with a few wedding tasks when I needed an extra hand, going far above and beyond what I expected. I can’t wait to sit in their chair again. I would trust Ming with my hair forever....and that really means something!

had a blast getting my hair done by Ming. She walked me through the whole process beforehand and gave me exactly what I wanted. The salon is also so cute and everyone was super nice. She is extremely talented & I love my hair so much 🙂

Ming is the only person I trust for big transformative cuts and colors. I brought her a mood board and she brought the vision to life. A true artist and visionary!

I had an exceptional experience at The Moon with Ming. She took the time to understand my hair goals and offered expert advice tailored to my hair type. Her exceptional service, combined with top-quality products, has set me up for long-term healthy hair. Booking an appointment online was a breeze, and Ming's extensive knowledge and experience with all hair types and styles truly impressed me. I would unequivocally rate The Moon and Ming a perfect 20/10."

Ming is a dream come true. She will make your dream hair goals become a reality. The first time I came I let her freestyle and let’s say she did not disappoint. The hair color was beyond vibrant and faded to a nice cotton candy vibe. The products Ming uses leave my hair feeling super soft and shiny. The styling after left be feeling like a true queen. I’m currently at my second appointment and I’m in love the transformation from rainbow hair to sunset hair… AMAZING!!! Not only is Ming a awesome and loving stylist but the vibe and atmosphere of The Moon is to die for!! Gotta love the local vendors too, lovely paintings, earrings and clothes to choose from.

Im in love, with the entire experience! Ming on The Moon is the best person I’ve ever had color/treat my hair.period. I was so comfortable and relaxed and happy the whole time thanks to the warm personable atmosphere. Not to mention the aesthetic atmosphere which is rad and beautiful just like all of the baddies who style there. (: 10/10 gonna be my new spot

Go get your hair done at The Moon! Ming is a ridiculously talented person and truly a master of her craft. She’s an incredible woman who makes your time with her so fun and exciting! She knew exactly what I wanted and went above and beyond. I will certainly be going back and look forward to seeing her again.
