Evolve Salon and Spa

I booked a last minute haircut at Evolve and went in with high expectations because of all of the reviews I read. The hair cut was fine, but the overall vibe and feel of the salon wasn't my personal favorite.

The staff was pretty cold, not very talkative or welcoming. I immediately was met with an upsell. Every time i spoke to my stylist I kept having to repeat myself because she just wasn't paying attention and she spoke mostly under her breath. I watched a handful of people throughout my entire haircut eat and snack at the color bar. The shampoo stations are located directly across from the nail salon station so the entire time I was getting my hair washed all I could smell is nail polish remover. The salon feels pretty crammed into the space it's in. Like I was greeted, I was also sent on my way with upsell on product without any explanation. Overall a very mid experience.

My first time here and the experience was great!
Mojee T was my stylist and I'm really glad I decided to make a last minute appointment here before leaving for a wedding this weekend!

She was pleasant & caring. Plus she did an amaaaazing job with my hair. She gave me an analysis of its current status without making me feel bad and gave me some tips on how to fix it.

Haircut looks great and so do the layers!
I just moved to the area and was nervous to find a new stylist but so happy I found her on my first shot! Definitely recommend.

Noosha

Incredibly overpriced men's haircuts. They charged me $48 for a horrible haircut. The experience started off nice. All I asked for was to make the back of my hair shorter so it evens out with my bangs. I asked the "stylist" to NOT touch my bangs and she did anyway. I had been growing my bangs out for months. Took scissors right to them. She went for a 3 trim then I asked maybe a little shorter with a small fade to blend.
It went terribly wrong. The fade looks awful. She quickly took out a 1 trimmer. Of course it's always the same. Just because I'm a guy my hair doesn't matter. The stylist was rough on my head and cut as fast as she could. $48 is so unbelievably high. I was not even in the chair for 10min. So I paid $48 for a 10min bad haircut.
Save your money guys and go literally anywhere else for half the price. Just because it's in the gym doesn't mean you should go here.

I have never been so happy after getting my hair done since it never turns out how I thought it would but this time is was different. Mojee makes it happen you give an image and she will do that but also guide you with what would be better as well, her suggestions are on point. I would highly recommend her to all my brown people who are told we can not get ashy tone highlights without multiple sessions but she did it within 2 hours. I am already looking forward to my next appointments with her

This was a horrible experience. I took my daughter here to get her hair cut. The stylist looked like she was put out by having to cut my daughter's hair. Little to no verbal communication with my daughter. The shampoo lady told my daughter she was busy bc she had a whole family to take care of that was getting high lighted and hardly washed her hair. No scalp message. When I spoke to the manager about my concerns he was rude to me. No customer service. I would never go back and definitely recommend no one to this salon. I give it one star bc the receptionist was kind and polite.

Make an appointment with Mojee ASAP! She is such an attentive listener and knew exactly how to make my hair better. I have a sensitive head but she was so gentle that the experience was amazing! Her suggestions were spot on and I loved the way I looked. I opted for the keratin treatment this time and my hair has never felt smoother. Our conversations are always excellent and she is just the sweetest. The salon is clean and inviting, and the online scheduling system is so easy. I'll definitely be back and can't recommend Mojee enough!

After my hair stylist left the industry when Covid hit, I spent the past 2 years salon-hopping trying to find someone who I felt was in sync with what I wanted (which is what I was used to having). It's frustrating to "date"; trying to find the right person or salon for you. Thank goodness my search is over!! Evolve and Soozan are just right - she did a fantastic job and I'm so pleased with the result! She listened, commented on the pictures I showed her and made sure we were on the same page. The salon is clean and relaxed; all the stylists & team were professional and welcoming. If you are looking for a new salon, give Soozan & Evolve a shot.

Went for a birthday spa day with my mom and best friend. They were very accommodating during the booking process, fitting all of us & our different services into the same time frame.

Elba did a great job on my balyage & cut! And my mom and friend's hair looked amazing as well. Leeanne did an amazing job on our massages too (all 3 of them!!) She also did solid work on my mani/pedi, but I was disappointed that they didn't have dipping powder as an option.

While everything else was pretty awesome, the relaxation room itself was a big letdown. It was small and poorly located in the middle of the busy salon. It also didn't help that employees were using it like a break room. My mom said someone talked on the phone in there throughout the duration of her massage, ruining the relaxation vibes.

Overall a good experience with one glaring aspect needing improvement!

Wow! Where to start?

This place is FANTASTIC! I recently went there for a quick touch up and cut and I was blown away. Ashley did an incredible job; best my hair has seen.

All the staff at the salon was so friendly and accommodating. The salon manager, Bri, was incredibly friendly and continually checking in on me to make sure the salon was meeting my expectations.

I have never had such a great experience at a salon before. They all went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met!

Once upon a time before a pandemic by the name of COVID-19 came and interrupted our lives, my friend and I drove 3 hours from Virginia Beach to have our eyebrows microbladed by Linda. Well worth the early wake up call and each and every mile! So before I get started, I'd like to preface this by saying this review is based on my microblading experience with Linda and massage with Leanne. No other part of the salon, spa, or gym facilities were explored.

Linda is best described as bubbly, down to earth, friendly, and extremely hilarious. She makes you feel very comfortable and less nervous. When it comes to her craft she is professional, thorough, patient, knowledgeable, efficient, and most of all, skillful. Mind you, I arrived with microbladed brows already but from another cosmetic tattoo artist. However, it was time for a color boost and I had no reservations letting Linda do it whatsoever. I follow her on IG and I consistently see her work keep getting better and better and better! No hesitation booking with her at all. She didn't take as long doing my brows as she did my friend because she didn't have to start from scratch. She just made them look even better and added some freshness to them. After all it had been over a year and a half. I am so in love with my brows. She knew I was extremely nervous about having them done before getting local anesthesia but she accommodated me and I'm telling you, I didn't feel a thing compared to the very first time. Also, I didn't suffer massive headaches or experienced any pain or tenderness afterwards. If you're a pansy, scardy-cat, wimp like myself, just beg and plead for that numbing cream before hand, y'all!!! LoL!

She goes over aftercare with you and even sends you home with a cute little care kit before you leave. There's some Aquaphor, soft cotton pads, candy, and I think even Q-tips. If you are considering getting your eyebrows done, look no further and book with Linda! She will be more than happy to go over everything with you in detail. She also does other PMU (permanent makeup) and plasma pen for skin tightening but I'm gonna be real - I'm too chicken! Haha!

While waiting for my turn to have my eyebrows done, I decided to take advantage of the available masseuses and wow! Best last minute decision ever! Leanne has a pair of magic hands! Them plus the darkened room and heated massage table, oh my gosh! I am not lying or exaggerating when I tell you I instantly fell asleep the moment she laid her hands on me. She woke up me once to turn over and another time to tell me it's all over. Sixty minutes went so fast, what was I thinking only opting for one hour!? Anyway, best massage and nap ever! Not a whole lot of conversation was had but Leann is a sweetheart.
