Hair’s Evelyn

Recently moved to Waltham and was traveling to another city where I used to live to get my haircut until I found Hair’s Evelyn. I’ve been seeing Ashley for past few months and she is excellent! If you are looking for a good local spot to get a haircut, this is it.
Updated — Ashley is no longer working at this salon so I am giving 3 stars because cannot comment on other stylists.

The ONLY reason I’ve been going to Hair’s Evelyn is for Michelle. My prayers have been answered now that she is leaving the salon and going elsewhere.
This place is great if you want to sit around listening to Evelyn gab on and on with all the townies that come in for hair cuts. It was obvious to me the first time I started going there that they weren’t even trying to be an upscale salon.
The place could use a visit from Tabitha.
Alas, MIchelle has gone to Evolve on Moody Street, Waltham.

I had Michelle, and while she had skill, I mentioned to her that I wanted to keep the thickness of my long black hair, but needed to get the dead ends trimmed off. She proceeded to thin out my hair and left me a little dissatisfied. On the flip side, she was super nice, and the place was clean and convenient to get to. However, several months later after many attempts to get someone on the phone to make another appointment, I left a message on the machine to have someone call me back. I never heard from them. I went somewhere else instead.

First time at Hair’s Evelyn today, got a trim, blow-​dry and flat iron. Ashley was my stylist — she was friendly and efficient — I was in and out in under an hour. My hair looks terrific, and the price was reasonable. The lady in the chair next to me was more adventurous, getting color and highlights and a FANTASTIC bob cut, shorter in the back and longer in the front. It was a terrific cut AND a great color job. I live very close by, so I’ll probably be going back in a month or two. :0)

I haven’t gone to get a professional haircut in over a year and I was seriously in need of one. I have long, thick hair that was pretty much all one length and looking really frumpy. I put my trust in Michelle and walked out today with an incredible haircut. She blended my layers and did exactly what I asked for. She really paid attention to how I wanted my hair to look and fine-​tuned the haircut once she dried it so I walked out happy. I will absolutely be a regular of Michelle from now on. The haircut cost me $ 40 and I tipped her $ 10 for the supreme service. Try this salon out!

Last week I had to get a hair appointment before a very important meeting in New York. Not wanting to go into the city, I searched on Unilocal and found this place. Based on the reviews, I decided to give it a whirl. I’m SO glad I did. They got me in same day and it’s one the best hair cuts I’ve ever gotten. I had a great time chatting with Evelyn. She is an honest and caring business owner. You can’t go wrong with that. This is my new home for hair care!

Another 5 star review for Hair’s Evelyn. Every stylist I’ve ever had here has been fabulous. It’s a little pricey for the ‘burbs ($ 40 for a basic trim and blow-​dry) but it’s worth every penny. I am always happy with my hair immediately leaving the salon and I stay happy with it for several months. The stylists are really good about listening to you and not doing anything you don’t tell them to, but if you’re pretty clueless about hair (like me) they will also use their expertise to give you a cut that looks great.

Okay, so when I first moved to Waltham, I needed a place to go and someone recommended this place to me. I had long, naturally curly hair and I was hooked up with Michelle. She did do a good job at first. I told her I was looking to cut my hair short and she said she would never do it. Well, I cut my hair anyway and when I went back for a clean up, she basically ignored me the entire time she cut my hair. My hairdresser has never been my therapist, but seriously, the only thing she said was that she’s gotten her fix out of short hair because I came in. Well, needless to say, the next time I needed a clean up I didn’t go back. I don’t really think she knows how to cut short hair because she completely butchered my hair. I won’t be going back!

Excellent place! I went here based on the wonderful Unilocal reviews. Evelyn cut my hair back in Feb/​Mar 09 and did a great job, charged me $ 40 bucks though… then because I thought she did such a great job I went back, and the new girl Mary cut my hair, still awesome job! And I tried something new and different and she did great! She charged me $ 35, so I felt a little ripped off the first time around, either way they both did a great job, definitely recommended!

Michelle rocks! She is the best stylist I’ve had and I highly recommend her talents. Whenever I’m back on the east coast (where I am from) she’s my girl.

Over years of awful hairstyles by hairstylists who didn’t listen to me, I was dubious to go get my hair cut yet again. However, it needed to be done, and a friend recommended Michelle at Hair’s Evelyn.
Wow! She is the first hairstylist to ever:
1. Listen to me
2. Understand my curly white girl hair
Plus, the prices are reasonable. My haircut is usually around $ 35 for a fabulous style that I enjoy. Definitely worth it.

LOVE Hair’s Evelyn. After 10+ years of hopping from salon to salon, I finally found someone who consistently gives me a great cut. It’s my first monogamous client-​stylist relationship and I’m very happy! Michelle is a rockstahhh

hate to post a great review because personally i want this place to stay small, happy, easy to get an appointment, and reasonably priced.
but yes Yolanda rocks!

Quick & Fantastic. Reasonably priced. Go see Yolanda!
