Savvy Salon And Day Spa

After hearing so much about this salon, I decided to give them a call. I am so glad that I called first rather than driving out there for the experience. This salon definitely has their own way of doing things, and catering to their clients' particular needs is not part of their philosophy. My family is new to the area, and they made us feel so unwelcome and "unlike" the other people they service. I am not putting myself or my children through this, so we decided to look elsewhere. The owner's "my way or the highway" mentality may be working for her, but it does not work for us. Pros: null Cons: null more

I have been connected with Savvy Salon and Day Spa since opening. My first observation has alway been the quality of the stlyist and other specialist in their field, like massage therapist etc. I love the innovaiton of the team as they work with difficult hair to make the best possible result appear. Love the pedicures and manicures. The way the staff are so professional comes across is a very easy way with wonderful sense of humor.When walking out the door you are feeling wonderful and that you have made new friends! more

For many years, I've always received great, personalized service in each department- hair, nails or spa. I would highly recommend this top rate salon! more

I have been to salons in NY, Hong Kong, Shanghai and many other places around the world. I tried several in Cornelius and was delighted when I found Laura R. at Savvy! She always listens and does a great job and, when I have some hair-brained idea she gently but firmly lets me know that it's not a good idea. In addition to giving a fab haircut my color has always been spot-on when done by Laura. I've moved to Tampa but on my trips to NC I will certainly see Laura for a haircut!! more

My family and I continuously receive outstanding quality service from more

My daughters and I have been Savvy clients for many years. Just when we think we have tried it all Pat adds new services. It is always nice to know that the old patron is just as important as the new one. Keep up the great job! more

I have been a loyal customer for 15 years. I have watch Savvy change from the Salon to the Salon and Day Spa. I have brought my daughters and my friends. Recently, my husband discovered that Savvy is not just for women! Together we have tried and enjoyed almost all of the services. Thanks to Pat for constantly adding services so that we long term clients can enjoy a new experience. more

The mini-facial before my haircut was incredible. The haircut was the best I ever had. more

I recently had surgery and my wife treated me to a facial to get me out of the house. It was my first time and I was pleasantly surprised with the service. It was very relaxing and just what I needed. The Spa area was very clean and Alyssa was very informative throughout the process. I will be returning for another facial in the near future. Thanks for the great experience. more

I'm a college professor new to the Charlotte area, with my first faculty meeting scheduled for the next day, and with my hair and beard having me looking like an aging hippie. (There's some truth to that, but I needed to look respectable enough to teach law students.) Over the past eight months in the Charlotte area, I have walked away from every haircut and beard trim saying to myself, ""Oh, well, hair grows back and I'll try somewhere else."" After reading great reviews on Angieslist, I called Savvy Salon late in the afternoon and they gave me an appointment for an hour and a half later! My young stylist, Lindsay, listened carefully as I told her what I wanted and then she asked questions to clarify my wants and make sure that she understood. As she clipped, she asked more questions and I ""coached"" her. I always coach a new stylist, because my hair and beard are a bit challenging and I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. Lindsay listened and then clipped accordingly. When I start with a new stylist, he/she MUST be coachable for me to get a good result. The others I had gone to in the Charlotte area were not good listeners or they listened to my instructions and then did it THEIR WAY. When I asked Lindsay if she was good with beards, she said, ""I really don't have much experience with beards."" Honesty! Amazing! Several of my previous Charlotte area stylists had said ""yes"" but almost as soon as they started cutting, I knew that my beard was in trouble. Lindsay asked around among the other members of ""the team."" A couple of the stylists said they could do a good beard trim, but they had clients in their chairs. The owner of Savvy Salon, Pat Helmandollar, had been paying attention to all of this. She came over, picked up a pair of shears (the only way for me to get a good beard trim - never an electric trimmer) but trimming a beard with shears requires a lot more skill and more time. Pat taught Lindsay as she gave me one of the best beard trims I've ever had. All of the people at Savvy were warm, welcoming, client-centered - focused on giving me the best possible service and the best possible experience. I was delighted to be there! For my next appointment, I am scheduled to see Lindsay for my haircut and then another stylist who is experienced and skilled in trimming beards. They really do work as a team! more

Well, I went to Savvy because I wanted to change my look. After going to many other hair cut places and been so dissapointed many times with the service they provided I decided to try one more place, Savvy Salon and Spa was rated one of the top on the internet. I email them to get an appointment and very promptly received an email back from the manager, I explained to her my bad experiences with other salons and she was so wanting to make this experience with them great that she herself gave me my new look. It took her almost 2 hrs to get my hair perfect to the last strand of hair...and it's not because she didn't know what she was doing, I just have very stubborn hair and lots of it ,she did an awesome job and made me feel like my business was important to them. lots of places out there don't even care if you come out happy, they only care about making the buck as we say. Savvy was different! they make you feel welcome from the time you step in the door to when you leave. I strongly reccommend them to anyone! I will be coming back. Thank you Pat for my new look...I love it! more

I was ecstatic with my new find. I've told everyone I know or who would listen all about my experience at Savvy. I had a perm and pink and white nails on the same day. Yes it was exhausting, but well worth it!!!! The staff was very knowledgable and explained ""how to care for"" at home. You don't get that in most places without asking. They also made me feel at home instead of like I was just another dollar. I've already been back and plan to continue. more

I was looking for a place to get a GOOD spiral perm and found one to get a GREAT spiral perm. Not only that I got my nails done the same day. I never knew such a wonderfull place existed! They make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk in the door. I found a new home. I have already been back and plan to continue as long as I can................ MS/Charlotte more

I have been going to Savvy for years and have tried a number of services. Whether for my monthly haircut or the occasional treat - like a pedicure or massage or waxing - I always enjoy my visit. Everyone is friendly, service is great and the new digs are especially chic. My daughter, mom and sister are fans too! more

I went to Savvy for a much needed hair cut. From the minute that I walked in the door the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. I felt very relaxed and pampered and most importantly my hair looks great. The whole experience was awesome and I will definetly be going back! more
