I have been going to Evolve Salon and Spa for a long time. I want to quantify that but I find that the specific number makes me think about time in ways I am not prepared to address in a Yelp review, so I will say many years and we will both understand what that means. Here is what I know. Every four to five weeks, without fail, I have an appointment. It is on the calendar. It is not negotiable. The Evolve appointment is on that calendar. It has never moved. This should tell you something. I came in originally for a haircut. I am a man with straightforward hair and straightforward requirements and I simply needed someone to address the situation on a regular basis. Evolve addressed it. Then they kept addressing it, at a consistent level of quality, across a considerable number of appointments, without a single visit that made me reconsider the arrangement. Do you know how rare that is. Consistency at that level is something most people only discuss in aspirational terms. At some point the appointment stopped being a haircut appointment and became the thing I look forward to that week. I did not plan for this. It happened anyway. I am at peace with it. The pedicures came later. I am tall. My feet exist at a considerable distance from my face and I had, over the years, developed a relationship with them that could be charitably described as out of sight, out of mind. I approached the pedicure conversation with the cautious energy of a person who suspects they are about to reveal something about themselves that a professional will find notable. The staff at Evolve did not find it notable. They explained what the service involved, what they would do and in what order, and what I should expect to feel during each part. They answered my follow-up questions without suggesting, through tone or expression, that the questions were anything other than reasonable. This matters more than people acknowledge in reviews. What followed was a revelation I am still processing. My feet, which had developed characteristics over the years I can only describe as ambitious in the wrong direction, are now soft. Consistently soft. Every visit. I can feel surfaces I was previously unaware I was walking on. I attribute this entirely to Evolve and to staff who explained the process clearly enough that I actually understood what was happening and why. The massages came after that. Deep tissue, for reasons involving the shoulder region and several years of accumulated tension that had established what I can only describe as a permanent residency. I had never had a massage. I said this out loud. The staff responded by explaining exactly what would happen, what they would need from me during it and how to indicate if anything was too much. What they needed from me was to lie down and breathe. I am qualified to do both. I did them. The tension, which I had come to regard as structural, turned out not to be. I am still adjusting to this information. What gets lost in reviews that focus only on services and hours is this: Evolve is consistent. Not just good. Consistent. The haircut I get today is the haircut I got years ago. The pedicure produces the same result every visit. The massage addresses the same problem with the same competence. And every time I have walked in not knowing what to expect from something new, someone has taken the time to explain it until I did. That last part is what keeps the appointment on the calendar. It is not moving. read more

I absolutely love Shelby. my hair looks amazing every time. highly recommen. salon is very friendly

I drove down from Minot to this salon for a consultation and perm with Tanya in November 2025. During the consultation, she made it very clear that she was not going to be able to achieve the "wavy" perm I had requested. She explained that she would need to take off a lot of hair and do a tight perm in order to give it volume and that it would soon fall to a "wavy" texture. Regrettably, I agreed to proceed with the perm. As she was wrapping the hair, I could tell it was very tight, but this was my first perm and I didn't know what to expect. When she got to the front pieces, the hair was pulled so tightly it was starting to make my eyes water. In her defense, I did not let her know that it felt so tight because I assumed that was just the way it had to be. When the process was over and I saw my hair, I was immediately disappointed by the curl pattern, but even more disturbed by the breakage. I have an absurd amount of breakage at the scalp, especially my bangs, which is shown in the photos. There is more breakage throughout the head but the front pieces are the most embarrassing for me as they are difficult to hide. Breakage has continued to worsen with time since the perm and I'm using Olaplex to try to prevent it from leaving a huge bald patch. Full transparency - I have not reached out to the salon about my experience as I frankly don't want them touching my hair again. I feel bad leaving a negative review but I feel like people should know! Please reconsider before getting a perm here! Pictured are my results the day of the perm, breakage after ~3 weeks, breakage after 6 weeks, and my hair a few days BEFORE the perm for reference read more

I'm only giving a second star because the staff apologized, but it doesn't undo the embarrassment and the trauma I just had to experience as a parent of watching my 5 year old daughter be devastated because we aren't wealthy and we were lied to about price and then sent out the door without service one hour before her big event. On January 5th, my daughter had a haircut wash and style for 21 dollars. Check your system/receipts Evolve! I made an appointment this morning and spoke to a man on the phone. I do not think it's his fault he didn't know the "correct price" because as I said, one month ago we went and paid 21 dollars so it's more than just one person who believes this there. On the phone I let them know my daughter has an important dance tonight and ask to schedule a hair appointment an hour before the event. I check the price, all is good to go, I specified I couldn't afford more than that. I show up and the lady says nope that'll be 50 DOLLARS! She sat and watched as I attempted to get ahold of great clips or anywhere that could do this on short notice for less money because 50 dollars is outrageous especially when they told me 21 dollars. I spoke to like 2 different people at the shop, they apologized but shrugged until we had to walk out and leave and my daughter cry in the car asking why we don't have enough money. My husband called the store and spoke to the owner who said they would have a staff meeting on prices but that doesn't undo our experience. They really couldn't wash and curl a little girls hair for the price they told us and that we had a month ago? They had to ruin a little girls night? And put me as a mother through the embarrassment of the entire shop staring at me? If you tell someone the wrong price, and screw them over, you offer a discount or SOMETHING. 20 dollars is all it takes for you guys to turn away a little girl and crush her. A little girl already sitting in your chair. Sure hope you never know how it feels to fall on hard times. I really loved this place and I doubt I'll ever feel comfortable to step foot in there again. read more

Yesterday I got a hair cut from Gracie and she was just the absolute best. My hair was a MESS with terrible layers and she fixed it into the cutest bob. She really takes the time to get it perfect and knows what she is doing. I have curly hair which is not easy to cut and she did such a great job. Definitely recommend and will come back. read more

Had an amazing stylist. That I loved working with. Super easy to work with and always did an amazing job on my hair. Well the salon let her go.... I had booked a birthday appointment for my daughter with this stylist and they called to ask if she would still want to work with a different stylist. Uneasy as we had never had that person work on our hair we sat on it. My daughter waited three hours too long to cancel her appointment and was charged a $92 cancellation fee. Funny since her whole hair budget for the appointment was $125. We wanted one stylist. Booked with one stylist. We were switched to someone else and expressed our unease. On a side note I had also had my next two secessions booked out because I have been a loyal customer for over a year with a extensive hair budget. Needless to say I canceled my prebooked appointments. Shady, and not the type of people I want to give my money to. read more
