Evo Salon & Spa

Had Groupon for eyelash extensions, booked with Samantha. She started by asking what type of look i was going for, and then made suggestions for me. She’s very gentle, did a really awesome job, and told me all about how to care for them, what makeup to avoid, etc. I absolutely love them, I’ll be going back to see her next time!

Love this place. Searching the net for a place to get my haircut while I was in town and stumbled on the Evo web page. Needless to say this place is as luxurious as the web photos. This is not your grandmas hair salon ladies. It is new, modern, clean and cutting edge. Which means a lot when I am looking for a fresh up to date style. I had Julie the salon owner give me a highlight, deep condition and whole new style. Back home in Florida I love it. I will definitely be making another appointment when I come back to Latham.

Today I received my first set of eye lash extensions. I LOVE THEM! Christina was my technician. She was nice, welcoming, and very informative about extension care and maintenance. I plan to make an appointment to have my hair cut and colored next. I have been to a few places around the Albany area but everything is SO EXPENSIVE. I’m sorry but I don’t think $ 250 cut and color is reasonable (that doesn’t even include the tip). Evo Salon fits within my price range and I have heard nothing but raves about this place.

Love it here! A friend referred me and I’ve always had a great experience. The receptionist is a sweet heart and the lash girl Christina is the best!

I had a Living Social coupon for a one-​hour luxury pedicure.
Pros: The staff are extremely nice. Expect big smiles when you come in and offerings of tea/​coffee and cookies. Pedicure area is a private area that is quiet, so you can relax.
Cons: The pedicure was more like a 30-​minute express pedicure. It wasn’t a bad experience, it was just underrated for the price. You can get the same thing and possibly a better massage, at other places. I don’t think I would come back for nail services.

I used a groupon deal for Evo. I was switching salons and figured, lets use a groupon to try to find somewhere new to go. When I arrived for my 9am appointment, myself and a couple other clients were waiting at the front desk. No one was there. The stylists were in back. Someone eventually came up front. This was not a good start, but I didn’t think much of it… When I said I wasn’t sure who I was seeing the person checking me in said, oh its me. She did not look thrilled. This was one of my worries about using a groupon at a salon — not getting good service. They stylist had no suggestions (as I am used to at other salons when I ask for opinions). She colored by hair then deep conditioned. After the deep conditioning, she came up and said another stylist would be finishing me up (cut and style). I was a bit shocked. My hair came out fine. I actually really liked the cut and styling, but I could not get over being treated like a second class client. I believe I overheard my original stylist called another client and had her come in early — probably because she didn’t want to finish me up. I tipped both stylists well, but I will never go back to Evo nor recommended that salon.

I got a living social deal for Evo and figured I would try it out. I had an amazing experience! I got a hair cut and deep conditioning treatment and my hair is still smooth and silky 2 weeks later. I had Jackie and she was awesome and very knowledgable and gave me great tips on products for my hair. (I have had BAD experiences with hair dressers and products they have recommended but not this time). She also styled my hair so well that I cannot get it to look the same at home no matter how hard i try!
I also got the hour luxury pedicure. This is where they lost a star because it was very relaxing but really was just a normal pedicure you can go get at a cheaper place. On a whole, loved the interior, they had free coffee and even offered me a glass of wine, I loved the people there and I will definitely be back to try a massage or waxing.
