I don't usually give review's but I thought this one was worth it. I am new to the area ( come from Puerto Rico) and have always been EXTREMELY picky about who I let touch my hair. I have very curly hair and not many people know how to give proper haircuts without making it look like a puff ball or a Yield sign shape. I had noticed Evie Salon while driving around the area and the trendy and clean vibe from the salon convinced me to make an appointment for a much needed haircut. I originally made an appointment for a haircut with the owner of the salon thinking that as the owner she was probably the most talented. When I got to my appointment, the hairstylist/owner took a look at my hair and quickly told me she thought someone else in the salon whose name was Thea, could do a better job with my hair. After a lot of hesitation I decided to take her advice and have this other person work on my hair. I explained to her somewhat what I wanted and told her about my concerns of having a puffball or a yield sign shape. Let's just say I have had my fair share of hideous haircuts throughout my life. I also told her that I wanted a change, a shorter look that would be trendy but not too crazy. I hadn't cut more than a few inches off once in a while in years for fear of it looking weird, dorky, and puffy. In the end, IT WAS PERFECT. I haven't stopped receiving compliments from family, friends, and my boyfriend who I surprised with the new hairdo. My hair looks so healthy and is now so much easier to manage. I know it sounds silly, but I truly feel like a new me! Thea also recommended some hair products from the brand "Living Proof". I am not usually the type to give in to buying all the hair products I am recommended but I'm glad I did. Thea taught me some great methods for drying and curling my hair and it has been drying so nicely every time! I am so glad I met Thea and without a doubt will continue to get my haircut with her in the future! I would highly recommend Thea for any of those looking for a fantastic hair stylist. She is extremely nice, fun, and talented ...you can really tell she knows what she is doing!! I will add some pictures to this review. read more

I've only been to the studio a couple of times (but that's only because I get lazy with my hair, which is long/simple)! I'll be back very soon :) Rebecca has cut my hair twice. The first time she made the ends more blunt for me in order to make my thin hair thicker. It'd been a very long time since I had gotten it cut at my old salon in NY, and she cut off quite a bit (at my request). It came out so much healthier looking! The second time she added in some newer layers to give it some more shape once it had grown out a bit. I loved both cuts, and she was extremely nice and didn't make me feel bad about only getting it cut a couple of times a year. Abby has now colored my hair twice and both times were fantastic. I am a natural dirty blonde, and after years of other highlighting methods she helped bayalage it back to my more natural color, but with beautiful dimension. The second time I went she touched it up beautifully. It's important for me to have the color blend out with my natural blonde once it starts to grow back in, and she does a wonderful job with this. She is so passionate about her work and personable while spending time on you. She also is constantly staying on top of new hair styling/coloring techniques, which is awesome considering her already natural talent! read more

I have been to the salon twice now - once for a cut and most recently, a color. Both were with Arielle and were incredible experiences. I've continually received compliments on my cut since it was done three weeks ago and the color I had done yesterday is the best of my life. Arielle was incredible when it came to listening to what my vision was and she worked so hard in making it a reality - even checking in with me in between appointments to be sure that she and I were on the same page when I came back to the salon to have my hair dyed. The salon itself is lovely and in a great location. Staff are friendly and are quick to ask if you would like water, coffee, or tea and to make sure that you are comfortable while you wait or while your color processes. I can't wait until it's time to go back! read more

Evie Salon Studio - Cut (done 3/22/17) and color (4/12/17) both by Arielle - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I've been going to Evie for over 2 years and love it! Sandra cuts and colors my hair, and no matter what I walk out looking great. Even when I don't know what I want, she asks the right questions and uses the right judgment to give me the perfect hairstyle. As a blonde, I'm sensitive to who colors my hair but she gives it a natural maintenance-free color. My only cringe is it can be a little expensive but it's competitive to the Boston area I suppose. Great salon and highly recommend! read more

I went to Evie for the first time in the beginning of December and booked an appointment with Abby and she was AMAZING. I wanted to go a bit darker and redder, and she booked a consult with me first to talk about what we could do. I'm a student (and given that I'm a student, often on a budget) so we decided to go with a toner for this first visit. I was so pleased that she was willing to work with my budget while also helping me to get what I wanted. And believe me when I say the color looks FANTASTIC. Even after about a month now, it still feels vibrant and is definitely such an upgrade. I'm loving my new hair, and Abby was an absolute joy to chat with and work with. Very excited to go back once this toner washes out to do it again, or to do the full dye! read more

My style needed a change and Bexx was the one for the job! I'd pretty much had the same style for a year or so, and when I told Bexx that I was ready for anything, she was psyched (which is always a good thing). She took the time to discuss with me what she thought would work for my face and schedule (I don't like to devote time to my hair), and then she went to work snipping away! During the entire process, she was personable and friendly. I've got to say, when all was said and done, I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to replicate the new style on my own, but Bexx took the time to explain to me the several ways I could manage this on my own. Luckily, she was right! It's been several weeks since getting this new cut, and it's so easy! It's shorter than I'm used to, but that only means it takes less time and that includes using a flat iron. The best part, though, was the compliments I received and continue to receive at work and from friends and family. I even inspired a coworker to get the same cut the following weekend. I feel lighter and younger and more confident, all thanks to the magic scissors from Bexx. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Abby! I have been going to her for about 3 years now and she is amazing. I first went to her to correct a horrible blonde coloring that went wrong from another studio, and she made it look soo much better! Abby has put up with my constant change of blonde then to dark brown. She's amazing at what she does and will always give her honest opinion and suggestions. I could go on for forever! If you are looking for a new place to get your hair colored I would highly suggest going to see Abby at Evie Salon! read more

I've been pretty indifferent with other salons, but I love this place! Arielle was super sweet, not overly chatty, and very talented. During my visit, I had told her how infrequently I cut my hair. She didn't shame me about not maintaining my hair like most of the stylists I've gone to do. She didn't push any products or try to convince me to schedule an appointment for the future. She's just a friendly person who is great at what she does. The only downside is that I wasn't able to donate my hair since she isn't certified to do that. Overall, loved it! read more

Evie Salon Studio - Loving my new hair! Thanks, Arielle! - Hair Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Melissa gave me an incredible short hair cut. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it, because it was a dramatic change from my old style, but within a couple of days I really did like it, and I am still getting compliments on it a month later. It's easy to care for (I do nothing and it looks good.) The location is convenient, the studio is comfortable, and Melissa is a lot of fun. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I really adore this salon. I've been here twice now for cuts with Bexx Fine. And fine she is-- she's managed to perfectly cut my hair twice. The first time I gave her kind of vague instructions and she gave me a great cut and fixed my layers, and then gave me a luscious blow out so I looked like a sex pot. Loved it! Second time, poor dear, I had a very particular request. I wanted a haircut that would be perfect for all of the vintage styling I like to do with hot rollers, but I had very few reference photos that could help her-- all of my idols from the 1940s always were photographed with their hair done. I did manage to find a selfie of a wonderful video blogger who does vintage hair style tutorials that proved super helpful. I wanted bangs that I could sweep to the side if I didn't want to curl them or pull them back in my typical wash n wear style. I also needed some distinct layers that aren't always friendly to wash n wear. I also wanted it definitely shorter than the long monster my hair had become, but keep everything long enough to pull back into a pony tail because if I'm not going all out and styling my hair for hours, I toss it back and ignore it. Tall order. But Bexx did a phenomenal job, cautiously cutting and really highlighting her tremendous skill as a stylist. She checked in with me every step of the way and I knew we were on the right track-- it was simply perfect when she finished. And the free bang trims? Icing on the already perfect cake. We took some reference photos in case we ever needed them again but Bexx was certain that she'd never forget this particular request; the modernized version of the 1940's femme fatale cut a la Lauren Bacall. A little about the salon itself-- very clean, beautiful and airy place. Everyone is very friendly, they always ask if you'd like them to hang your coat for you, and will even get you something to drink. I love that the hair dryers are suspended from the ceiling, which is such a modern feel. The product display is really nice, and their facebook always has something interesting to share, be it a product, service or art/community event. It's especially nice to have a home base salon. I've been looking for a salon to use regularly since coming to Boston 10 years ago but I just never found the right place, until Evie. Oh and a location FYI: it's very close to the Davis MBTA stop (2 blocks, maybe?) and there is a parking lot right in front of the salon. Super convenient, excellent location, and fabulous people! read more

This review is for Gabby at Evie Salon. I'm one of the people bleached their own hair in quarantine and got a huge disaster. My hair turned orange yellow patchy full of tiger strips you name it, don't mention it's super damaged. I followed Gabby on Instagram for a while and I admire how she's still learning during quarantine with so many online training certificates achieved. I DM her and she agreed to see me the next day which is amazing. ( I use to live NJ/NY where it always takes at least 2 weeks to get an appointment) The whole color correction took 5 hours and there were at least 20 foils just for my front baby hair. She's extremely patient and professional, not too talkative which I love. The results turned so good that I feel like I got a new head. Thank you Gabby for everything! read more

Arielle did an AMAZING job on my hair. Honestly, I think it was the best haircut I have ever gotten! I showed her pictures of haircuts I was considering and then pretty much told her she could do whatever she thought would look best. The cut (long bob with layers) looks healthy and stylish both straight and curled (arielle curled my hair just because at the end of the appt). She also put balayage highlights in my hair that look completely natural and amazing. The atmosphere of Evie itself is fun and welcoming. Tea provided :) It's not cheap, but I have been to several salons in the area for the same price with far less amazing results. This is the first salon where I actually wanted to book my next appointment on the way out. read more

ABBY IS AMAZING!! I moved to Boston almost 2 years ago and needed to find a new salon... Evie Salon is so beautiful and has local art displayed around the salon. All the staff are amazing, including Abby! She has done amazing work and she's the only person I let touch my hair! Highly recommend! read more

I came to evie as a first time client as they had good reviews I needed a color and I was booked with Abby! She was so helpful and explained everything she was doing as she went along. My hair came out better then I anticipated. Definitely will recommend Abby! read more

No one likes moving and having to find a new hairstylist. I found Abby on instagram and was blown away by her expertise with blonde hair. Abby really knows her stuff and is even on board when I want to grow out my hair and come see her less frequently. My hair looks so natural when I leave the salon and even months later! Abby is so friendly and I look forward to our chats while she works her magic. read more

I've been going to Evie for 3 years and I'll never go anywhere else! Abby is the absolute best when it comes to coloring my hair. She really listens to what I want, is truly an expert at what she does, and the result comes out amazing every time. Thanks Abby!! read more

Kaitlyn is an old friend who has always been one of the best hairdressers around as far as I'm concerned. I now live in SF and I cannot find anyone even close to being able to cut my hair in any way that's interesting and fun, so when I finally was heading back to Boston for work, I booked an apt ASAP! As usual an amazing job. read more

I've been getting my hair cut from Rebecca for years - she always does a fantastic job!

Abby is amazing!!!! I had a pretty bad ombré before I met her, and she was able to blend everything out so well!! I've been going to Abby for about 2 years now, and every time she colors my hair, it always turns out amazing! I got married earlier this year, and didn't have a hair stylist for the big day, I brought that up to her and she asked me for some inspiration pictures and worked her magic!! My hair came out so great!! read more

Haircut and service was fine but not good enough to warrant the price tag. Although the space is classy and welcoming, the welcome itself from the staff was lukewarm. I got my usual straight forward cut (angled and layered medium-long length, with side bangs), so nothing complicated. It turned out fine but honestly I've had better hair cuts at much cheaper salons so that was a little disappointing because I tried them out intentionally seeking a more expensive, higher tier service and outcome. I probably won't return and instead will look elsewhere for a go-to hair dresser. read more

I went to Evie for the first time because I wanted to try a smoothing or straightening treatment. I have very unruly, frizzy, curly hair and using a flat iron every day was getting old. I did research and read that the Kerasilk smoothing treatment was really good, and Evie was one of the few salons in Boston that did it. I was nervous at first because it's pretty pricey and I really didn't know what to expect. Long story short: Sandra was incredible, I love the treatment, and will absolutely do it again. I had a consultation with Sandra a few weeks before the actual appointment; she helped me pick the right level for what I wanted and made me feel really comfortable (most nice salons can have snobby-ish stylists, Sandra was totally patient and made me feel welcome). The treatment took about 5 hours (including a trim and blow out) and is a milllllllion percent worth the time and investment. My hair now dries smooth wavy naturally, and I don't have to straighten it at all. AMAZE. It should last about 5 months; im on month 2 and it's still great. (See pics of before, right after treatment, and month after treatment naturally.) If you have curly hair and always straighten it, go to Evie and ask for Sandra! I will definitely do it again in a few months. read more

I have never had my hair dyed before until I went to Evie Salon and had Abby do my hair - she walked me through what exactly she will be doing, but also has such awesome eyes to make my hair look amazing. I now consistently go to Evie Salon and request Abby because she's so good at what she does!!!! :) I highly recommend her and the salon. Everyone is great. read more

The BEST so far! I have been to a couple of high-end salons, but none of them match with my experience at Evie. The stylists are so friendly and professional. read more

For the first time ever my hair looked better before the haircut! I have 2c curls and came in for a curly cut. My stylist was cold toward me and acted like she couldn't care less. I admit that I wasn't an ideal client in that I didn't know what I wanted, only for it to be shorter, have some sort of shape and that I didn't want it to look like a puffy triangle. She washed my hair, cut it WET, and when I asked to go shorter said " I already cut a lot off". She motioned with her fingers for how much and I said "a little more, what do you think?". She said "it's up to you" . She cut it and then asked if I wanted it diffused or to put stuff in it. I opted for stuff because I wanted to leave ASAP. She put stuff in it and asked me what I thought without showing me the sides or back. Again wanting to leave I said "ok". I paid for the cut and left. When I got home and saw what my hair looked like after it had dried I was livid. The product didn't bring out my curls and my hair looked like a PUFFY TRIANGLE. I know the owner, based on responses to other reviews, might say I should have come back and have it fixed. But why would I do that if I don't trust the skill level of the stylist and know I can be treated more nicely elsewhere? read more

As a first time customer, I made an appointment for a haircut with Ariel, arrived on time, and was told to wait while she finished up another appointment. I was still waiting 20 minutes later. I won't attempt to come back here if they don't respect their customers' time. read more

This salon has a great vibe and great stylist's. Called for an appointment for a men's cut and was impressed when I walked in. Friendly staff, great service, and great products. And my haircut is awesome! Rebecca is amazing and awesome! She is extremely talented and takes the time to listen and explain what she recommends will work best. I found my perfect stylist! Great salon! Highly recommend it! Thank you Rebecca "Ms. Fine"! read more

Abby is one talented young lady! I came to her with different toned balayage I found on Pinterest. She was honest and told me that with my skin tone those colors wouldn't look great on me...I said "You're the professional do whatever you think!" I gave her my trust and she did not disappoint! I have very thick hair and she took the time to strategically feather each section with a custom color to give me more depth. I came out of her chair feeling like a bombshell with color that popped against my skin and made me glow. Abby is talented, personable, honest, and energetic...I highly recommend her! read more

I came here for a blow dry/ styled with loose curls before a wedding. I was visiting from out of town and found this place on Yelp. It was easy to make an appointment online. The salon is bright and clean. My appointment was with Rebecca. She did a great job styling my hair, listening to me, and making sure I was comfortable the whole time. My hair turned out exactly as I wanted it to - soft curls framing my face. She used some product on my hair to prevent frizz and to keep the waves in tact. My hair looked great throughout the event, and wasn't stiff with product. If I lived in the area, I would absolutely go back! read more

So glad I found this place! I'm new to Cambridge from DC, and my hair has been looking scraggly for weeks. Yvonne (the owner) cut my hair this afternoon and it came out *exactly* as I hoped. The salon is beautiful and clean; the staff are warm and friendly; and the prices are reasonable. Yvonne was talkative but our conversation didn't feel forced (I'm really quiet so too much chattering can be a little much for me). I'm going back in a few weeks to get some *~*purple*~* highlights! I love a salon that likes to try creative, fun colors but is also willing to do classic, simple cuts. read more

I've been to Bexx Fine (Rebecca) three times now for a cut and color, and she always does a great job. The salon itself is in a really nice space, extremely conveniently located right in Davis Square. Bexx is a very careful stylist, who won't make dramatic changes without being absolutely sure it's what you want. Her coloring is fabulous (people are often surprised to hear that mine is not natural) and the cuts last a long time. She's also a very nice, cool person, who is easy to talk to but doesn't force you to chat if you're not in the mood. I'm very happy to have found a great salon to go to regularly. read more

This is a wonderful salon with the perfect atmosphere. You are guaranteed to leave here looking your best. It is delightful to be in a salon where everyone works together. Yvonne is a very talented colorist and her enthusiasm, warmth and caring attitude is a delight to witness. Visit Evie Salon...you will love the experience!! read more

It's all about the color! I'm a redhead, and Yvonne B gives me a natural ginger shade that stops people in their tracks - literally. Strangers have been asking me about my color from my very first visit. She really knows how to custom mix a color. Right now she's using the Nectaya super natural line and I love it. The atmosphere is cool, but comfy, wifi, and PARKING right in front - plus I love the Davis square neighborhood. It's full of restaurants and merchants who have their heart in their business, Do pick up Dave's pasta if you visit. read more

Thea is incredible! About two years ago, my favorite hair stylist at a great salon in Boston moved away, and ever since I had been trying to find "the one" who could do my hair as well as she could. Well, Thea is even better. She had a nice, detailed conversation with me about what I was looking for in my cut and the type of styling regimen I followed (i.e. I blow dry my hair and brush it - that's about it!). Thea also has a great personality, and I had a lot of fun talking with her about a bunch of different things. She gave me an *amazing* hair cut that makes me feel beautiful while also being functional and easy to style. As an aside, everyone else I spoke with there was also very professional and extremely nice. If you call for an appointment and get their voicemail, don't be afraid to leave a message! They called me back within an hour, and the receptionist was quite friendly. Finally, there is absolutely no "product-pushing" here - just a lovely, relaxing experience. Evie is a welcome addition to the Davis Square area, and I hope they remain for a long time! read more

Evie Salon didn't have too many reviews, so I went on what was here on Yelp, and I am happy I did. I came in for a cut with Rebecca yesterday and she really did a great job. My last haircut was a nightmare but she managed to give me a cut that made my hair look healthy and full of volume. I already have my follow-up cut scheduled. Thanks Rebecca! read more

I've been on a tour of salons in the Cambridge/Somerville trying to find a fabulous place, and after several misteps, I've found it! Evie just feels fantastic- the space is chic and open but comfortable, and everyone is super nice. Arielle is a doll- super sweet and the perfect amount of chatty. She gives recommendations without being pushy, and my cut always looks great and grows out well. Definitely recommend! read more

I have been a customer of Yvonne's since 1992 (ouch) and played a small (very) role in the opening of her salon. Yvonne is equally talented in cuts and color. She is also a very lovely human being. Given her own nature, she has attracted the same in her staff. The other hairdressers look to be equally talented. A cool clean space. The salon is very conveniently located in Davis Square, Somerville. read more

I had such a great experience at Evie today. First, my stylist Rebecca was fantastic. She gave me a cute short cut that was exactly what I asked for. She talked through all the steps with me and was very honest about how she thought things would look. We made decisions together about going shorter in the front which made me feel comfortable. Overall, the salon is very nice and inviting. It's hard to believe it used to be the Comcast office. It was a slow day because of the holidays but everyone in the place was warm and friendly. I liked the products too, and Rebecca did a nice job of sharing what she was using without making it feel like she was doing a hard sell on anything, which made me want to buy their products. Evie offers free bang upkeep too which is awesome. I already made my next appointment. read more

Being new to the area, (and having a favourite salon back home) I've been putting off finding a new hairdresser for months. I had my haircut by Kaitlyn yesterday and she did a fantastic job. I really appreciated that she took the time to discuss all the ins and outs about my hair, and provided some photos for us to look through together. Kaitlyn gave me a nice scalp massage, a great cut and a cute style. The salon is clean, fresh and friendly. I'm definitely going back in a couple of months! read more

Rebecca has been my go-to stylist for over a decade! From long layers to pixie cuts (and everything in between, back and forth, even through awkward growing-out pains) she gets it right EVERY TIME. When my schedule and hers don't align and I'm in a pinch, the other awesome stylists at Evie pick right up where she left off. The best! read more

First visit yesterday and I loved it! Fresh, clean and simple on the inside. Super friendly staff that are genuinely interested about you and what you are after. Also the client next to me was clearly friends with her hair dresser judging by their conversation, but I thought that was really nice considering this place only opened in August. I had Rebecca as my stylist and she was great. She listened to all of my concerns and questions and was really down to earth and honest in her professional advice. The overall vibe of the place was very happy and pleasant. The owner of the salon even popped over to watch my hair getting done for a few minutes as she was genuinely interested in my end product, which I thought was nice. It was a very positive experience all round and I will definitely be back! read more
