Evolution Salon

This salon offers online appointments. It was super easy to make. Very clean. Super nice people who work here.

Very awesome service!!! They were able to fit me in on such short notice. Cherie did a great job on my ombré. She was very accommodating, nice and understood my ideas. Prices are great compared to other places I’ve checked. Overall great experience and staff was friendly. :)

Stephanie: you are AWESOME! My hair feels more manageable instead of looking like Frankenstein!

Kelly cut my daughters hair, it was her first haircut! 10 inches and two braids to donate. She did an amazing job and I’m definitely going to come back.

Where did Amy go? I don’t recommend this salon without Amy. She’s the BEST! The other people in there are super unfriendly and I wouldn’t have them touch my hair. This place has a horrible atmosphere. You go to a salon to be pampered not to soak in other people’s tension. Not recommended!

This Salon is excellent. Been going here for over 8 years! The owners are amazing and wonderful and my experience has always been excellent. Such a great small business and the owners are always working so hard.

We love Mel!!! My son has been a client of Mels since he was approximately 2 years old. He is now 12. We love the salon, Mel & Joe and the rest of the staff.

We really gave it a try, but I’m sad to say that Evolution cannot and should not be recommended and truth be told, the word is long out all over Maui that this salon is unprofessional and it’s only a matter of time before honest reviews are trickling in, hopefully warning future clients.
Coloring — I walked in with virgin hair that as untreated and healthy, asked for lifting three levels from 6 to 9. I walked out with orange hair instead of blonde.
Extensions — They are using an outdated system of plastic bonds that break off your hair at the root, and, the stylist left them in too long even though I went for a check-​up after 1 month and she said I could keep them for another 2 – 3 months. I went to different salon for a second option because I kept finding fists fulls of my hair falling out. That other stylist said my hair was already trashed and I lost 90% of my hair that had bonds — broken off at the root. My hair was naturally 20 inches long, now most of it broken off at the root! Those of us who have long mermaid hair… you know what that means…5−7 years of regrowing your hair back.
The unprofessional a-​la-​carte at Evolution includes frequently but not always– Joe renown all over Maui for harassing clients so beware he may outright flirt or inappropriately touch his female clients (even married ones with their husband and baby along) while his wife is working right next to him; stylists sending unprofessional text messages to their clients, hostile phone interactions, the discomfort of witnessing fights between co-​owners Mel and Joe, and of course — completely unresponsive behavior when they were informed that a client was unhappy (who would not be unhappy with 20 inches hair broken off). Go to any salon in Maui and you’ll sadly hear the tales and horror stories about Evolution Salon.

I had a great experience here. I’m on vacation in Maui for six weeks and needed to get my color done. I was extremely nervous to have someone else color it besides my regular stylist. I tried to book my appointment online and there was a mix-​up but when I showed up they accommodated me and Mel did my color. She was extremely professional, very pleasant and did a great job. It is an Aveda salon, although they carry other lines as well. I would highly recommend Mel and when I’m back on the island in 6 months, I will schedule an appointment with her without hesitation. The other stylists appeared to be just as professional.

I went to see Joesph,
who made me feel at ease right away.
I have long hair and was a little nervous at first, because I haven’t had my hair cut in a while.
I felt like he really listened to my request,
and I walked out of there with the haircut I wanted.
He did an Excellent job! Thank you :0)
By the way, he also gives an amazing head massage during the shampoo.
I will definitely be going back.

My daughter and I are very happy with the professionalism at Evolution. I’ve been going to Stephanie for about 2 years for color, cut, and straightening and my hair has never looked better. When my daughter had her Junior Prom, Stephanie dyed her hair to match her extensions, and Kelly E curled her hair and extensions on prom day. Kelly C (a different Kelly) is also a pro with waxing– she did our eyebrows and gave me a great facial. The Salon is conveniently located, on Dairy Rd, and has ample parking. They are very clean and stylish and use high end products. Another thing I really like is that everyone seems to work together really well. If a stylist feels someone else is better at a certain technique, they will refer to each other. To top it off, while I’m waiting, I use their wifi and drink Capuccino that they serve. l couldn’t be more pleased.

Like the first poster, my hair is spoiled. I normally save my haircuts for when I’m back in NYC.
Honestly, I was bored on my day off, wasting time & money at Savers (thrift store across the street) & I impulsively wanted bangs.
VOILA!
Joe was amazing & let me borrow his laptop to show him the style I thought I might want but in the end I just let him do his thing & I have never been happier… EVER.
I have had my hair cut by Aveda and Bumble & Bumble professionals in NYC & London and Joe from Idaho is better than all of them combined.
I just walked in, no appointment, Joe let me ramble without judgement & touch my hair the whole time, checking as he went and the best pary… the bang cut was only $ 10!
What a happy accident!
Thank you, Joe!

Looking for a salon on Maui? Go here.
I’m SUPER picky on who touches my hair since my hair is important for my job… top hair people work on me in LA. Since my last stay on Maui was so long and I needed color — I went here. Joe dyed my hair from a light brown to a dark and did a really good job. :) Also good hair products. Also love the fact that you can set your appointment via their website.
Nice location with parking in front.

My favorite haircut ever! I came into the store with very long hair, and saw Joe to get a very short haircut. I showed him the photos of what I wanted and he helped me customize my hair for me, since the person in the photo had much different hair than me, (Mine is finer and thinner) and he also gave me lots of good tips for how to make my hair look fuller and how to style it. He was so friendly and gave me a fantastic cut!

Joe, Mel, and Kelley did such a good job on me and my girlfriends yesterday! I love a little funk with my hair — Joe knows how to provide. My two girlfriends are much more conservative with their long locks, but Mel and Kelley made sure they got what they wanted. We were all stoked walking out of the salon. — thanks!
Go see the crew at evolution, they’ll do a great job!

Cool spot, great service, nice staff. Definitely worth a try. Highly recommend it!
Knowledgable staff… Ask for Mel.

Love Evolution salon! Although I go elsewhere for my haircuts (only cause I’ve had the same hairstylist for years), I absolutely love Jaymie & Rachel. Jaymie does an awesome job with my mani’s & pedi’s and Rachel is wonderful at doing my waxings. Their atmosphere is very comforting and I just love the classy dress code they use as employee’s…black and dark solid colors. The pedicure room is nice and dark but relaxing. They provide online appointment booking and give you follow up calls 1 day prior to your scheduled appointment. They also provide complimentary coffee or water while waiting for your appointment… this service has a nice and generous feel to the salon.
Lots of parking available and open 7 days a week. Pricing level is at moderate but competitive to others prices around town.

Very friendly staff! Love Joe! Not only is he an amazing stylist, but he genuinely cares about what I want and achieves my desired look all the time. Mind you, I can be very indecisive but Joe is able to read me and I’ve always been satisfied. I’ve referred several of my friends and family to him and they all love him. After having very long hair (down to my waist) for quite some time, I decided to give someone new a try at a new «do» and Joe was The Man for the job. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but after listening to me he took charge and gave me the best cut ever! I went back for highlights a few months later and he did an amazing job! I get compliments all the time for both my cut and color.
Also, their online appointment booking extremely convenient.

Joe is the best! I’ve been going to get my hair cut there for almost a year and it’s always been great. Joe runs this fine establishment and has always been professional and makes you feel comfortable. It is sometimes uncomfortable for guys going to salons, traditionally a woman’s world and it still is here, but Joe’s just another dude you can grab a beer with. I look forward to going to see Joe for a great cut, but also for great conversation. He’s got a great dry wit. Ask him about his turtle. Hilarious!
My wife also has enjoyed Evolution’s professional services including waxing & pedicure. Joe and his staff have always been kind and courteous to her and she is proof-​positive that he does a great job with women’s cuts. She loves being pampered by them.
