It's so hard to find the right stylist for you. Putting your hair and someone else's hands is a lot of risk and you have to really trust. I've had some really bad experiences over my last several years of living in North Carolina. Today I had the best experience I have had in most of my lifetime. This salon and Cathy Stout are a prayer answered. She is an amazing colorist and stylist and my hair has never looked so good. I highly recommend her. I highly recommend the spa and salon.. What a wonderful place. Worth every dime. read more

I requested for a price or range of prices and they just wanted me to come in for an appointment and go from there. I wasn't real comfortable with that cause I need to know how much they're expecting me to pay them before I show up. After the salon's response, I do understand prices cary greatly ; but I need at least a price range fir specific services and products you offer over the phone or on-line. I will not take time out of my busy schedule to drive over to your business to receive an in-person consultation. Prices should be easily accessible to customers before they arrive. Just saying! read more

Tyler is a pro at Savvy. He has been my stylist for 5+ years. He is skilled at highlighting and cutting hair. He is easy to work with and always makes great recommendations for my hair. Savvy Salon is my only go to spot in Cornelius. I have been going there for 30 years. Recommendations include mani, pedi and massages. Love Pat and her team. You will not be disappointed! read more

I cannot recommend Lydia enough for any services offered in the hair salon. She put highlights in my son's hair and did a fantastic job. She is not only super talented but conscientious and fun! My son was so pleased with how his hair turned out! If in the Lake Norman area cannot recommend Savvy's Salon and Lydia enough!! read more

I've been the Savvy for my nails a few times now and always a great experience. Everyone I've met from the nail techs to the front desk to the other customers are so warm and kind. It's an overall great atmosphere. They also make sure you leave loving your nails. If you're booking for the first time, I'd advise to book far in advance as they do book up quickly. Also call if you're confused about the services as they have different offerings for nails then places I've gone in the past (like plexi-gel and hand filing). I can't wait to come back and give the spa a try too :) read more

I used to be afraid of getting my hair cut because other places would have me looking like a fool. They cured this fear! Andrea and Pat cut my hair and they're wonderful. I went in to get a blonde streak in my hair (2 months after a black dye had washed out of my hair, bad decision, i know) and Lydia was an absolute trooper! Everyone did everything in their power to fix my mistake. Lydia spent 4 hours with me to get it looking as good as possible. Round of applause for everyone involved read more

I've been twice for a massage and a pedicure and I looove this place! Such a relaxing atmosphere and everyone who works there is so kind! I loved both of my services and can't wait to go back! read more

It was ok staff was very nice Nails took 2hrs file style not a drill if she had a drill it would have gone much quicker and smoother and she would be able to do more clients in a day make more money and the more you do the better you get more practice then makes more money so I give it a 2 stars the nails came out ok but not very smooth read more

Moving cross-country is hard. Change is hard. What makes it easier is finding a great hair salon! I'd been worried about finding a stylist--when I moved to LA, it took me some time to find the right spot. I figured another salon search was my destiny in Cornelius. Not so! My first appointment ever in NC was with Chrissy at Savvy Salon, and it was terrific. Excellent color, friendly chat, and a great cut. Since then, I've been back a few times, and after each appointment, I've left delighted. read more

Outstanding Had a hack color and cut job from Modern Salon and Spa and Michelle totally saved my life !! Have found my new home !! Thank you guys Staff is great they offer a ton of services. Very pleased read more

See all

I hate moving. I hate the packing, and the unpacking, and the days/weeks/months of finding your things in weird places (dishes, how did you wind up in the box of stuff for my bedroom closet?). But most of all I hate that I have to find a whole new hair stylist every time I move. Sometimes it takes forever to find the right person -- it took me almost 2 years to find the perfect hair salon in my last city! But somehow I struck gold with Savvy after only a few months of living here. Savvy Salon is a relaxing, beautiful day spa that is perfect for a day of pampering. I had PJ for my hair, and she did a fantastic job achieving the exact look I was hoping for that day. She took her time and paid attention to all of my concerns and questions, and I can say without a doubt that this is one of the best haircuts (possibly the best!) I've ever gotten. Somehow she made my hair look longer and healthier even after cutting off some length, and she cut my hair so that it actually looks good when I wear it curly now. Perfect for the summer months! PJ is a master stylist (I think), so her prices are a little higher than some other stylists, but I wasn't shocked by the price at all. I'd definitely go back to her. If I'm ever on a small budget and need to cut back on some expenses, I'd ask for an understudy, because their prices are flat out amazing. I came back to Savvy a few days later for a mani/pedi using a coupon they sent me. They were accommodating and didn't care at all that I was using a coupon, which is rare at salons in my experience. My afternoon with Kalissa was very relaxing -- I enjoyed some hot tea, some free snacks, and the best pedicure of my life. She did a great job on my manicure and pedicure, and I would definitely go back for another special occasion. Savvy loses one star for a few reasons: (1) While I think their hair prices are very reasonable, I think their other services are all a little pricey. (2) My pedicure smeared horribly as soon as I got home, even though my toes were allegedly dry enough to leave the salon. (3) I got straight up barraged with emails after my first visit, which made my inbox grumpy. However, I also have to note that my shellac manicure (CND Desert Rose) is still alive and well after 1 week of playing with dogs, gardening, cooking, cleaning, and crafting with a hot glue gun. That is one awesome manicure! read more

I absolutely loved my first experience! Brittney did wonders to my hair, and the salon exceeded all expectations. From friendly staff, to a massaging chair when getting my hair washed, I was beyond pleased and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Brittney! read more

I had a massage there yesterday with Ashley, who was wonderful: amazingly strong, but very sensitive to my many tense muscle groups. It was my first experience with Ashley', but I will make time and plans to go back. The spa is also a marvel of customer-entered businesses: even before my appointment, I was ushered into a calming waiting area. First-rate! read more

2nd UPDATE: After my update, Pat reached out directly and acknowledged that I was correct. However, she stated it was her personal opinion that I should show proof, even though the mandate states otherwise. However, when asked if that meant she would allow me to return without providing my personal health information, she did not respond. Funny how she believes her personal opinion supersedes the mandate precedence, and will not honor the mandate declaration. UPDATE: Thank you Pat H for you kind and immediate response. While you are correct that there is currently a mandate, I would like to point you to Section 4.B of the mandate titled "Exceptions": (1) Should not wear a Face Covering due to any medical or behavioral condition or disability (including, but not limited to, any person who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious or incapacitated, or is otherwise unable to put on or remove the Face Covering without assistance); "Anyone who declines to wear a Face Covering for these reasons should not be required to produce documentation or any other proof of a condition. Everyone is asked to tell the truth and if they are healthy and able to wear a mask-to wear a Face Covering so that they do not put other people at risk of serious illness and death." Here is the link to the original document: https://www.mecknc.gov/news/Documents/Mecklenburg%20County%20Board%20of%20Health%20Rule%20requiring%20face%20coverings.pdf Comical hypocrisy.. excellent services. I've gone to Savvy for a long time. When I say a long time, I mean that I've been going there for over 20 years. I have never had a problem with them, at all. I visited for a spa treatment (always fantastic work), and I was asked if I needed a mask. I politely declined, stating that I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing masks. I told the representative that I would be waiting in the spa area (as always). They said ok. The treatment went great. When I had finished, I went to check out, and the same representative told me that their manager told them if I wanted to come back I would need to bring medical documentation. I found this amusing--one because this is a violation of my rights, and two, while back in the spa, there were multiple customers sitting around without their masks on sipping their teas and lattes. I was also informed that the manager was looking for me to remove me before the treatment was even completed. 20 years of service, and now I will never return for another treatment. Hope it was worth it. My medical privacy is none of your business, especially when it makes no difference when your own customers are sitting around maskless behind the main door. Take care. read more

The staff at Savvy Salon are exceptional. I have experienced more than one delightful employee!! The Stylists attend education and are up to date on the latest trends and looks for hair, makeup and overall well being. I am confident that they will get the look right, and teach me how to do my hair when I leave. I am never disappointed with my Savvy experience! read more

I truly enjoyed my experience and highly recommend this establishment. Every one of the staff members were cheerful and polite. Mariela did an amazing job and went above and beyond to make sure I was incredibly happy. Could not have had a better experience. read more

I love Savvy. I have been a regular for over 3 years here. I have had a few disappointing experiences, but as a whole I have been very happy here. The Salon and Spa is very relaxing. I love they have candy, water/coffee/tea and small snacks offered. The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and calmed. My disappointments were a cut and color with an understudy who went far from what I wanted. And recently I had an understudy who did not quite understand what I wanted and took off more inches than planned. I gave her another shot and while being friendly and answering questions, she kept pushing for me to cut my hair short and I had already told her I hate my hair short so I stopped seeing her. I also had a manicure and I had an issue with my manicurist smelling so bad of smoke that I just wanted to run away from her. I could smell it when she touched, talked to me, when she moved. It was really hard as a nonsmoker to sit there in that beautiful place with that icky smell! I recently strayed from seeing Katy, an understudy and went to a different salon and was so disappointed!!! For the money the understudy is such a good deal. I have mostly seen understudies and the service is almost always great that I do not even worry about seeing someone else. I am most impressed with them not pushing products. They have salaries so if they suggest a product they really believe it is best for you, not because they get a little something extra for it. I do miss their Super Saturday's which were so much fun and gave a few bonus points for their program. I am disappointed they changed the program to not include services because I found myself coming in more do to earning those extra points. Despite the few small issues I have had I continue going back because there have been so many amazing appointments that make the bad appointments not a big deal. read more

I want to thank Savvy immensely for all the hard work that was put forth into getting my daughter's hair back to normal. She went from a blue mess in her hair, to her beautiful brown hair again. Amazing work! She informed me that a whole group of stylists formed a team to work on her hair. The stylists at Savvy are very talented. There's no doubt in my mind that they are the best in LKN. I also want to point out how the front desk staff was also very courteous and professional to me when I called to check in on the progress of my daughter's service. I can't express how very grateful I am for their kindness and flexibility with getting her in on such short notice. My daughter can now move forward with confidence in her appearance at her job interview tomorrow because the Savvy team. Thank you so much for everything! You all are life savers!!!! read more

The best of the best of the best. Friendly and accommodating reception staff, well trained stylist, nail techs, estheticians. I can't say enough about the great care and customer service I receive. I've been a loyal customer for about 11 years no. wouldn't go anywhere els! read more

Terrible experience getting facials and chem peels at this facility. Chemical burns that the esthetician tried to cover up and not say a word about as if I wouldn't notice when I got a chance to look in the mirror, to putting a severly orange staining peel on my face that has stained my face, I cannot get the color off and it has stained the blonde in my hair and cannot wash it out. Was a good customer for a long time but today I am absolutely done with that place. read more

Had my color done by Tyler and a cut by Shelby. I highly recommend both of them. They were very accommodating. And Pat was great at fitting me into their schedule on such short notice. read more

Absolutely fantastic customer service and each employee does fantastic work! I have been getting facials and massages for almost a year now and I will never consider another place! read more

I am very finicky about my hair so finding a good stylist is a serious matter for me. I moved to NC under a year ago and went to a few salons based on recommendation and was fairly underwhelmed. A little research and asking the right questions led me to Savvy salon where I was given a few stylist names who keep up their education. I have had 2 cuts with PJ and have gotten so many compliments. This is a well kept salon worth the price. read more

I'm modifying my review after talking with the owner. She is very willing to ensure that she pleases each customer. It is very nice to know that she values not only her employees but the feedback she receives to improve each experience. We are happy with our credit that she has made available at her salon, toward product or services; our choice! Thank you Pat read more

I do not recommend going here. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced.. especially after how much money I've paid for the services. They cancel appointments you make weeks in advance without even speaking to you. No one explains to you how the "membership" works and the VP of the company is the owners daughter so whatever her daughter says is the truth. They cancelled my appointment I had booked weeks prior without even speaking with me. I will never go back and I will make sure to let everyone I know not to go to this salon & spa. read more

Frances & I were greeted warmly in the busy salon (Saturday) and didn't wait long to be seen. Rachel was sensitive & put us at ease. Would definitely recommend this salon/spa based on our experience. read more

Color was fine first visit. Second visit I had a work conflict in schedule so I called 24 hours in advance to reschedule and the receptionist would not reschedule me for 6 weeks. No offer to schedule me for another stylist on staff. Just rude response of "well you should come in tomorrow for your appointment". Worst customer service I've had from a salon in many years. read more

After my last review I was contacted by the owner who made a concerted effort to turn around my most recent experience of her salon. She provided me with a complimentary wash and blow-dry and some suggestions for a longer-term color correction plan. I appreciate that she took my complaint seriously and didn't dismiss it as a cranky customer. She actively looked for a way to earn back my business and resolve my issues. read more

I adore this salon! My mother is on their email list, so she always gets great deals on services here. When I go home to visit, I stop here to have something done. Usually it's a fantastic massage, but this time I had my hair cut and colored. My hair strays toward strawberry blonde and the ends want to be blonde while the roots really like a dark brown color. I know...it's a very glamorous look. Well, these girls fixed it. They put a permanent color on the roots and a demi-permanent color on the rest. My hair usually rejects color too, but this looks really good. I got some fading, but not to the extent that I was dreading. My hair is now a beautiful, even chestnut brown with real dimension. The cut was simple, but looks nice even when just combed and air-dried. These folks know their stuff and they really want you to be happy about your new look! read more

Absolutely fantastic service and dedication - Love their consistency to ensuring customer satisfaction of their service as well as making them as comfortable as possible during the process! I HIGHLY recommend Sabrina - she does a phenomenal job on my cut and color and has a widely impressive background and true expertise. Their salon services aside from hair are definitely above par and offer a wide variety of services. read more

I discovered Savvy Salon & Day Spa through their Groupon in 2011 for a fusion massage. The fusion massage consists of a full body polish plus a 90 minute massage. Amy was my massage therapist, and she was wonderful! She was by far the best massage therapist I've been to. I went back to her for another fusion massage and a surrender massage, and they were both great. I also went back to Savvy Salon & Day Spa for a facial, and it was also a good experience. I highly recommend Savvy Salon & Day Spa, and I won't go anywhere else in the Charlotte area for a massage. read more

Great spa and salon in north area. Owner really gets it and they do a lot to keep their clients loyal. I'm willing to drive a little longer and pay more for a place that can do it all. My only gripe is the pricing on Manicure and pedicures is high. read more

I have been coming to Savvy for 20 years for the best haircuts, colors, pedicures and facials. I had my first massage at Savvy this week with Ryan. It was incredible. I am fortunate to travel around the world with my job and have gotten massages all round the globe and Ryan's ranks with the best! It was an awesome massage but there were other attributes that set it apart. First, Ryan is gifted. I could tell within minutes he wasn't just trained in massage, it was part of who he was and he knew exactly what different parts of my body needed. Secondly, I have had many relaxing massages, but this one actually imparted peace to me. It was more than just a stress fix, it changed how I felt. Lastly, though this was my first time at Savvy and with Ryan, I could just tell he is a good guy. You feel safe and in good hands with him. Could not recommend more highly. And one more thing, it was probably the best table I have ever been on - top notch. read more

I booked Savvy for my wedding, and everything was beyond fantastic! They were able to schedule all 7 of us to have our hair done at the same time, and everyone's hair looked incredible. Brenda did a phenomenal job with mine-it was exactly what I wanted and lasted the whole day without being painful from all the bobby pins! My bridesmaids and I also got manicures and pedicures the day before the wedding, and the ladies had us laughing the entire time we were there! The owner, Pat booked the event and was incredibly helpful! I'm from Columbia, SC, and I wish I lived closer so I could go there regularly! read more

I've been a Savvy male haircut customer for 9 years and would not even think of taking my business elsewhere. My stylist PJ is does a great job every time and its a pleasure to spend 30 min with her every month. You are treated like a guest from the moment you arrive; they offer to take your coat, offer you something to drink, etc. The front desk staff is very friendly and in 9 years of monthly visits I've never had to wait more than 5-min past my schedule appointment time. The owner continues to upgrade the facility and offer additional services. Everyone seems happy to be working there which makes it a very pleasant overall customer experience. First class!! read more

I'm a regular here, when I moved I tried going to my local Aveda salon cora bella but it couldn't compare! So worth the trip I'm pleased with the results every time whether it's hair extensions, color, or a cut. read more

Really nice facilities and one of the best massages I've ever had. I believe that my masseuse was Coral. Would definitely return. Thanks!

Love this Salon. I used to get my hair cut here all the time, but then I strayed a couple times, and I was never really happy with other places. I went back again last week and got my hair cut by an Under Study named Kelsey and I love it! Kelsey was awesome! Sweet, confident, and did a great job on my hair. I'll be back and will ask for Kelsey! read more

I was contacted me after the problems I was having and they gave me a good deal to get it fixed. I had to go to a master stylist to change the look completely, but I think it will look better for me anyway. A bit darker than I anticipated but, I still need to book another appointment to finish the look. But I am happier that this has been fixed. Pat worked hard with me to get things on track. I was misinformed regarding the understudies, the first time I went and had an understudy she was great! (But she had years of experience) I got a different understudy who was still learning. I would always ask before you schedule with one. :) read more
