I had a great experience at Evie getting a haircut, I'm normally more on the anxious side whenever it comes to getting my haircut, but the knowledge shown to me from Adrian and Yvonne while I was there made me feel way more comfortable with the process and I am glad I did because I am loving the results. Highly recommend both of them and the salon in general

Love Evie! As a curly haired person, finding somewhere that gets how to cut curls is a struggle. Evie staff member in general have a high general knowledge of curly hair and Yvonne (the owner) has curls herself ❤️

Evie salon is top tier. I’ve been going here for 4ish years now, and every stylist I’ve ever had has taken the time to get to know me as a client and understand my hair goals. Antonina is absolutely amazing and I always leave the salon feeling 10/10. Super clean facility with great people. Could not recommend more.

I love it here! It was my first time here since moving to Somerville and everyone who works here was so nice. Harjot gave me an amazing haircut and the best blowout I’ve ever gotten. Highly recommend!!!Services: Blowouts

The hairdresser added less than 10 lowlights to my hair and then gave me a dark brown toner. The results of my hair did not look anything like the photos I showed. She charged me close to $300 which I thought was too much as all I got done was less than 10 lowlights, a trim, and a toner.When I called back a few days later to inquire about the cost, they told me that salons charge differently by state. I thought the response was unprofessional and did not provide really any information on why I was charged so much.My appointment occurred late 2021 but I wanted to add a review to show others of my experience.

Very bummed to write this but I spent a lot of time and money, so here we go. I'm new to the Boston area and was on the hunt for someone to take over my color and styling. I gave this place not one, but TWO chances - 1st appt in Nov and 2nd in mid-Feb, and can now confirm my disappointment was warranted.Lacking in the customer service department. The first time i came, I was kept waiting for 20 minutes while the stylist finished up with someone else. No one acknowledged this, which is the main reason I'm bring this up. I don't mind waiting (it happens!) but let's acknowledge the situation and thank the client for their flexibility and patience, no? Not a "thank you for waiting" in sight. The 2nd time (mid Feb, Covid restrictions lifted), I watched other clients be offered refreshments upon arrival but not me. Not even some water during the 4 hour appointment.I came home with roots after a full foil. The first time (partial) I thought, "hmm this color sure grew out a lot faster than normal" but decided to give it another go and here we are again. I took a picture of it - 2 weeks - out so I could show a potential stylists what needs fixing. It's like the foil started 1/2 an inch from the root or something. The underneath layer? forget it. Color barely touched it, might as well skipped all together. Besides that, the color has not held up; already brassy. A lot of root for such a short time..I'm very unhappy with the whole experience, right down to the salon's response to the issue (which was to not take any responsibility or offer any solution). This is a service that costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time; customers deserve acknowledgement, respect, and the quality of hair color you promise.Services: Hair coloring

I booked a hairstyling for my wedding and they cancelled last minute. First they claimed that I never made an appointment and after asking more questions they suddenly remembered that I made an appointment but that they had a double booking. They were unfriendly and made inappropriate comments about my foreign accent. I would not recommend them.Service: Hairstyling

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?

I have followed Harjot's hair journey for years. She is passionate, kind, and well versed with anything hair related. I followed her from her previous salon, to Evie's and she provides the best service I have ever gotten. She is the only person I can trust with my hair, and she is able to match my vision exactly. After months of growing my hair out, I recently went in for a trim and came out feeling like a new person. She knows so much about hair, and teaches you how to keep your healthy. Not only does she know what she is doing, but she is in love with doing it. You can tell how dedicated she is to providing the best service. Love my girl! Evie's has the best environment for a glam session. It is clean, spacious, modern, and very aesthetically appealing. There are crystals all throughout the salon and the stylists are all very kind and welcoming. No complaints!

Best haircut I've ever gotten! I have long thick hair and asked for face framing and layers. Harjot did an amazing job and gave me a chance to tweak the face framing after blow dry. I don't love haircut small talk but Harjot seemed very sincere in our conversation and I actually enjoyed it haha great price as well! Would highly recommend her! Salon was also very clean, parking lot available and front desk staff very nice too!

Not for curly hair. For certain reasons, after researching this salon I decided to get a curly cut here. They advertised specifically a Curly cut on their menu. It is Not a curly cut. They cut it wet. I have fine 3A/3B hair and have been getting curly cuts for years.I arrived to my appt with freshly washed and styled hair (as per usual for a curly cut). After a late (30min) start, I discussed and showed pictures of the desired cut with my stylist she directed the assistant to take me to the wash bowl. I interrupted and confirmed that this was a curly cut. She said it was because they “needed to get the product off” of my hair. Never heard that in a curly cut. Once again we discussed the hair cut & I (now regretfully) agreed. After the wash, my stylist had another stylist start my hair cut due to she was running behind with the previous client. It didn’t seem like they communicated b/c the new stylist kept asking me how much I wanted off and I kept saying I cant tell you when its wet, as my hair will shrink about 2-3in when dry, thats why I get it cut dry. Finally the original stylist took over looking perplexed as to what the other stylist cut. She made the statement “your hair is really different wet that dry” i replied “yes, I know, thats why I get a dry curly cut”. I had originally described that I wanted layers around my face and I didn’t want to look outright like a triangle or circle. And I ended up looking like a triangle with my hair the longest around my face with no layers. My hair ended up drying much shorter than I originally described. She did not offer me the choice of sitting under the dryer vs air drying to finish. She just said ok I done and that was it, I walked out with wet hair.Now Ended up having to contend with curly hair that is cut uneven and not cut to my curl pattern. I also had to book another appt (elsewhere) to correct the cut.The studio is clean and the staff is nice. But just not a place of curly hair folks.

I'm new to the Boston area and came here because the reviews were very positive and all the stylists listed on the website seemed to have a fair amount of experience so I figured that any of them should do a good job. When I showed up, the manager explained that the stylist who would be working on my hair didn't speak much English, but that she (the manager) would translate for me and check in on me regularly. I figured that was fine. Unfortunately it was clear that the stylist was not the most experienced - she seemed very hesitant and used techniques like thinning my hair while it was wet, which I never let stylists do because it makes my hair is extremely frizzy. The larger problem was that the manager didn't check in at all - she checked on me once when the stylist had just taken the first few snips. Then she announced that she was off the clock, and sat down in a chair while another stylist started coloring her hair. She looked over and said "looks good" to me once, but never once asked me how things were going.The whole experience was extremely uncomfortable - the stylist was clearly struggling with my hair texture and thickness, the manager was unavailable so we couldn't communicate with each other. At the end of the cut, the stylist was trying to ask me about something but we couldn't communicate and the manager had, at that point, gone into the back room to have her eyebrows dyed. She brought the manager out but it was clear that she didn't want to be bothered.In the end, I said it was fine and left because I just wanted to get out. My hair looked fine while styled, but in its natural (slightly wavy) texture, it's a hot mess. It's frizzy and all the layers she cut look uneven. I also noticed that none of the stylists there were on the website, so it seems like their online info is pretty outdated. The salon looked nice and they use great products but I'm going to have to go somewhere else to have my hair fixed. I would only go here if you know exactly who will be doing your hair, I just don't think they give their newer stylists the supervision and support that they need.Service: Haircut

Sandra is so amazing!! I am so happy with my cut. I also consulted her about color, and she shared some options and didn't pressure me to commit to doing anything. Really pleased with the cut, and Sandra is the best!! I will definitely be going back!
