My first visit to Evolution - I was stepping away from my normal stylist... eager for a fresher cut and with hair crying for moisture, after I allowed someone to apply a different relaxer than I was used to to my hair at a Dominican salon while I was out of state.
I consulted with Sharntai - who was careful not overprocess my hair; gave me an amazing color glaze and a remarkable cut. I left Evolution feeling and looking like a million bucks.
That was in July 2009... I have been to Evolution every week since then; like clockwork.
I appreciate Evolution because Sharntai, and Missoni, the nail technician, are artists. All I have to do is explain my mood or the event I'm going to later that evening, and they create the matching look. Sharntai can do funky, conservative, and fancy... without thinking twice. She just knows hair. Missoni will ask me how I'm feeling and give me a couple of options; and I'm still in awe of how well she gets her clients - their needs and their personalities.
I couldn't imagine going anywhere else in New York for hair... no matter whose chair you're in (I'm always admiring the other stylist's work)... you will leave 100% satisfied.
While the prices are steep, I think the quality matches it. (Also a wash, blow, curl only costs $45 - more if you have longer hair.... that's beyond reasonable for what you get at Evolution.) I wouldn't trust a cheaper salon to give me a chemical treatment just to save a few bucks - here I feel they are real professionals and they care about the HEALTH of your mane.
Give it a try... I'm sure you'll be hooked like me.
