Foxfire Salon & Spa

Let me preface this by saying, I seriously felt like I had a phobia of hair salons because of how many bad experiences I’ve had. In fact when I first came to Foxfire, I had damaged, broken, bleached and fried hair that was green from having a terrible experience at another salon. (Gene Juarez) So needless to say, I definitely needed a corrective color, and major trim and some deep ass conditioning. I came into Foxfire and saw Aubrey, and she is literally the best stylist/​colorist I’ve ever worked with in my life. She listened to exactly what I wanted, and gave me her input as well. She absolutely fixed my color, gave me a much needed trim and conditioned the hell out of my hair. I’ve been to her twice now, and I can definitely say my hair has never looked better. I will never let anyone else touch my hair because she worked magic on it. I will definitely be back. Plus, she’s great to talk to and literally the sweetest thing ever. Thanks Aubrey for restoring my faith in salons! :)

Since I started coming here for haircuts, I have been very happy with the quality of services. Aubrey is an excellent stylist. She listens well, takes her time, makes good recommendations, and gives a great scalp massage!

Recently went to Foxfire Salon for the first time with my daughter. We both had Aubrey cut our hair. She did an amazing job and we are both really happy to go from long hair to much shorter styles. Aubrey listened to what we wanted and gave helpful suggestions as to what she thought would be best. Thanks Aubrey — you are awesome!

I just got home and couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing experience that I just had so here I am, writing a glowing review! Prior to today, I had 3 haircuts from 3 different stylists since moving to Tacoma about a year ago. None of those haircuts made me feel the way I feel today! Today, Caroline at Foxfire cut my hair and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. She really listened to what I wanted and took her time from the scalp/​neck/​shoulder massage to the cut and style. She was also happy to answer questions about color services in a manner that did not feel like a sales pitch. I am also generally an introvert and she gave me the space I needed to just relax. I would highly recommend her and this salon!

AMAZING! I’ve had lots of massages but Macye is AMAZING! I came to Foxfire for a massage with Macye because I have a lot of pain in my neck and back. She made me feel so much better after only 90 minutes. Foxfire Aveda, Proctor location is very inviting and designed to give you the Aveda experience. Thank you Macye!!!

Just had yet another awesome brow wax from Megan and felt the need to Unilocal about it! She does a great job swiftly and skillfully cleaning up and shaping brows from blah to beautiful! She’s also really nice and will make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Also, if you have sensitive skin, the wax Megan uses is clean, fresh and GENTLE! Previously I was going to Gene Juarez Tacoma Mall and although I loved my waxer there, the wax itself started to really irritate my skin. Only minutes later it would sting, itch and get bumpy, then later I would break out so badly! And the breakout would last a freakishly long time. I’m sure I was just allergic to something in the wax so I’m happy to have found another salon/​spa that provides excellent brow services.

My mother had an appointment and I called to see if I could get one at the same time. The scheduler was really nice and accommodating. He scheduled me for a same day appointment with 2 hours of the time I called. Heather cut my hair and she was amazing. I never am sure of what I want to do and she seemed really confident. I loved the cut and style. She took extra time to give me tips for curling my very fine hair. I live an hour away from this salon, but I will be coming back.

Brittany and Christina are superb colorists!!! The customer service is delightful and the folks here are ready and willing to make sure your hair color/​cut meet your highest expectations.

I recently went in for a shampoo and blowdry and was lucky enough to get Dawn. She gave me exactly what I wanted and I will return when I am back in town!
Nice clean salon, very professional.

I have been seeing Charlene for my waxing services for the past few months. She has really done a fabulous job with my eye brow shape… here I thought they looked good, but that wasnt the case. Charlene set me straight. Plus, she’s hilarious!!!

Kaylyn is absolutely fantastic! She has been doing my hair for a little over a year now and I have never had a bad experience. My hair always looks and feels soft after my Balayage and cut. My husband and son also get their hair cut by her and alway leave happy!

Mariane has done my hair for a couple of years now and has always done such a great job! She’s wonderful at cut/​color and generally just has a wonderful disposition and is friendly and welcoming during your visit. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go to another hair stylist again; she’s just that great at what she does! I had balayage done by her and I constantly get compliments on it. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been taking care of my daughters beautiful hair since she was a baby, so I choose an Aveda salon, I book the appointment to get my daughters 1^st hair cut, told the receptionist what I’m expecting I don’t mind the price as long as they are careful with my daughters hair. Well the staylist was doing fine till she decided to flat iron my daughters hair and burn the heck out of it! I’m so upset I can’t even recover till this day! I’m traumatized to say the least!

I came into the Proctor location on 12÷28÷13 (I’m a bit late on my review here) But I had their new stylist Aubrey, and being new to them the price was more than satisfactory. More importantly though, I’d come in in a horrible mood and really needed the recoup time. Aubrey did so much to lift my spirits and didn’t force me into conversation I wasn’t interested in, and rather than an awkward silence developing she let me ask the questions! When I did, she told me that she’d moved over from across the bridge and I left feeling like WOW! What a find they have in her! :) Amazing service, and SO friendly! I was very pleased with my choice and will be back again to see her! :)

Amazing nail services! I am kind of a nail snob and have finally found a salon I love that does a great job! I have seen more than one nail tech and was equally happy with them. The salon itself has a great urban vibe and the nail area is private and tranquil. I’m in love with shellac polish and happy to pay a little extra to have such top notch service. I have since moved to Chicago and am still searching for the same quality I found at FoxFire.

Sable and Brooke are awesome, and both are friendly and professional. Manicures last long, Pedicures are fabulous, and my highlights and cuts were always exactly what I asked for. Have previously loved this salon. So why the low rating?
On my last visit, to cut my long hair to a short pixie-​like cut, my stylist — Lindsay — convinced me to keep the sides longer; below my earlobes. I’ve tried to love it, but it looks frumpy — and cut certainly does not look like the photo of Sharon Stone with short hair I took in to illustrate what I wanted. I’ve tried every which way to make this look good while traveling on business. I called today to see if they could get me an appointment to «Fix» it, and the manager said NO — because the cut was more than 2 weeks ago.
So, sorry Sable and Brooke — love you guys and Aveda products — but your Salon just lost a customer. As a business woman, I think your manager made a bad decision. Call me if you change shops!

Great cut, great service. Allison even let me change my mind halfway through. It’s a little pricey, but worth it. I was able to get in on short notice and they were very nice and accommodating.

I was a bit reluctant to try this salon after reading some of the reviews but I am so glad I did! My color treatment by Sable came out pretty freakin’ fantastic! The prices are very reasonable, Aveda products are plentiful. (I ask my stylist about the products, not the front staff, as she just styled my hair and would know the best product for it).
As for the front staff, they were very friendly and helpful. And not that I need it but they did compliment my hair when I was checking out.
I found everyone in Foxfire very friendly, even the other stylists would give you a smile if you caught their eye.
So happy I found my new salon!

I’ve been getting brazilians for 6 years. There are a few things that go into getting a good one, but on top of the list is that it gets done quickly and thoroughly. My experience at Foxfire lasted 45 minutes and was one of the most painful waxes I’ve ever gotten. She did tiny little strips at a time and didn’t apply very much counter-​pressure to help relieve the pain after each strip. Plus, I don’t really like when they ask you to help by pulling in the opposite direction — I know it’s supposed to help, but I’ve had perfectly good waxes done without that being necessary.
However, she did use hard wax as well as the regular wax, which I like, and she was friendly and personable. Plus, she didn’t make me get on all fours. That’s the worst when they do it that way — it’s like punishment.
The salon seemed nice too, although I was only there for a wax. I will probably go back to get my hair cut because I like Aveda salons, but I’m not sure I’ll go back for another wax. If I do, I’ll see if they have a different esthetician.

I’m a bit torn on this review because I love my stylist (Madeline) but am completely unimpressed with the rest of the service there. The front desk girls always seem a bit uncomfortable, almost pained really. They offer me tea and water upon arrival but the service ends there — little to no eye contact and I’ve never seen one of them compliment a clients end result. Note to anyone working in a salon: We are going there because we WANT to feel good about ourselves! A simple compliment goes a long way with this.
The salon as a whole is a pretty average Aveda salon. You can expect to find a wide range of products and a reasonably comfortable environment. If you do decide to check it out, I highly recommend asking for Madeline. She gives a consistently good cut (and color) and is very friendly in a laid back kind of way. In short, she’s good enough to keep me coming back despite the rest.
