I called today to make an appointment. I had heard a lot of buzz about Evolution. I thought they would be great. Their phones don't work there and they have never heard of cellophaning. read more

Jen really knows how to cut hair. She managed to cut my uber-thin hair to make it seem thicker and fashionable.

I had to go back to get my hair fixed because I hated it. And even after getting it fixed it still looks awful. Will never go there again.

I asked something very specific and show photos of my preferred color. The outcome was far from what I wanted. instead of a balayage I got a pale blonde with purple! I told her that this does not look at all like what I showed to her! She responded that the purple will wash out! Not at all balayage! Completely disappointed! of course I am not going to visit them again for any reason! I didn't even like the trim or the blow drying or the brushing of my hair! I paid an outrageous amount of money of $150. Please save your money and visit a professional who knows about balayage techniques! Also the vibes I got was of a very cold and unfriendly attitude. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Katie! She listened to exactly what I wanted and was able to fulfill the vision I had for my hairstyle! She was very friendly and is clearly Very talented! I highly recommend her!!! read more

Made an appointment over Facebook and they were amazing! Loved the wash and the cut was super fast. She styled my hair so cute and was making jokes the whole time. Love this place and will definitely be going back! The price was also AMAZING. read more

Had the greatest experience here with Jess! She is a great hairdresser. I had an awful grown out brassy blonde ombré and she fixed it up wonderfully for me. She knew exactly what she was doing. I'm moving to VA soon but I will definitely be back to get my hair done when I visit! :) read more

Evolution Hair Design - Hair Salons Near Me - Binghamton, New York

I really can't say enough good things about this salon! I decided I wanted a cut with some highlights for the summer and found Evolution online. Christina did almost exactly what I showed her a picture of, and even squeezed my appointment in on the same day as my consultation. The price was so fair for the highlights and cut I got. Everyone working was super welcoming and made me feel beautiful! I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I recently got my hair done here. I went from blonde to "strawberry blonde". The color wasn't what I wanted but I looked nice so I didn't say anything. The color washed out within three days. She also gave me a "trim" but for some reason all of my split ends are still there? While she was giving me my trim she had me faced away from the mirror so I didn't actually see her cut my hair. I did ask her to take off only an inch so I didn't notice she didn't cut it until after I got home. It was very close to closing so I'm assuming she just wanted to go home which I understand but I paid over $300 dollars for a horrible job. I'm extremely disappointed about my experience and would NOT recommend this place to anyone. read more

Originally went in 2016, I'm still going there regularly for my cuts and coloring. I recently had a haircut with Christina, and it turned out EXACTLY how I wanted. She used a new technique of invisible layering I had never heard of before, and I am so pleased with the outcome! Definitely feel ready for summer!! read more

Waited for an hour to have my hair cut while she worked on two other clients at the same time. I had to go home and fix it the best I could. I can't wait for my hair to grow out again. Terrible experience. Needless to say I won't be back. read more

Vanessa is the best hair stylist. She is fun, and personable, and makes you feel good about yourself and makes you look amazing. She does wonders with color. I get a perfect cut from her every time. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. I am extremely disappointed and in fact angered with the customer service I received today. I didn't even get to have my hair cut and I will never go back and will be sure to spread the word about the horrible treatment two women in the salon gave me. I walked in at 4pm (it closes at 6). I asked for a wash and cut. The two girls at the front desk said "Um..." for about two minutes before finally "Well, we kind of wanted to go home and we might have an appointment coming soon." I replied, "But you close at 6, and no one else is here." One said "I know, but I'm just not feeling well and I want to go home." The other girl made a vague and honestly sad attempt at telling me there were more important, busy customers who MIGHT come in. There was no one else in the small, dark salon. The girls offered to sign me on for a Tuesday appointment during the day, but who has time to get their hair cut mid-day? Obviously, I stormed out and found "Hair" in the Holiday Inn. I got a beautiful cut and wash by Vanessa. I love it! The girls at Evolution gave me such a hard time and put me in an angry frustrated mood, but Vanessa at the salon made it 100% better. Bottom line, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. DO NOT GO TO EVOLUTION HAIR DESIGN THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS. read more

Christina did a fantastic job with my hair. She's also a great person to talk to, and helped me find a better hair product! I'll definitely return. read more

I loved this salon so much and loved Christina. She did wonders for my blonde hair. It was quick and reasonably priced. However, 6 weeks before my wedding, I had scheduled a hair trial with Christina. On my way, I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic so I called the salon to let Christina know. I was told "Um...Christina no longer works here..." (again, on my way to my wedding hair trial with her). Someone else gets on the phone and says "you're the one with the wedding right? Yea we're not sure what happened, she just packed up her stuff and walked out. If you want to come in we can see what we can do". Not only did Christina not contact me to let me know she left, the salon didn't notify me either. I texted Christina and left her a voicemail with no response. This whole thing was handled inappropriately. To do this to a client at all, let alone a bride right before her wedding, is just wrong and unprofessional. This review is not about how well they do hair, it's about the complete lack of communication and really lack of caring for clients. read more

Great Hair design studio! Jenna's talent with cut & coloring is right up there with the best! Her partner Kurt gives a great guys haircut as well. They are professional and fun and are always ready to listen to what you want and interperit that into a style that will wow! read more

I did my research before going here thinking it'd be great. The service is very friendly but the person I got did not give me what I asked for in the least. Her balayage technique didn't include using foil and I'm pretty sure it was to save her time at the expense of what i asked for. I wanted a brunette balayage and ended up with the bottom quarter of my hair bright blonde and paid over $100 which is so disappointing. It didn't look bad, but it wasn't even remotely what I asked for and I can't understand her technique choice as I've gotten balayages before and I get theyre time intensive for someone like me with thick hair, but that doesn't mean shortcuts should be taken. I'm sure they do other things great, but I'll be looking somewhere else for a color specialist willing to take the time to do all my hair, not just a portion. read more

Jessica is great--color expert!! Very reasonable prices too.

How fitting that I write this on National Hairstylist Appreciation Day. I was lucky enough that Jenna could squeeze me in last weekend. I've been eyeing her work on Instagram for months, but I live out of town. She took the time to thoroughly discuss what color I wanted and then spent her afternoon giving me EXACTLY that. I have never felt more calm and comfortable in a salon before. I walked out of there feeling fabulous. There is a reason this salon is the highest rated in town. She knows her stuff and I trust her completely. I will be back! read more

Drove an hour to get here and well worth the drive. Jenna did an amazing job coloring my long hair - it came out fabulous! Tears of joy as I left ---- Jenna is gifted, loves her work and boy does it show ! Seriously amazing- bonus great homemade donuts next door!! read more

Great staff and affordable prices, went in to get two strips of blue under my hair about three weeks ago and the color still hasn't faded.

Had good haircut the first time. Came back a second time. Same stylist. Asked for about an inch off and got mostly about an inch left of originally six inches of hair. Ouch. read more

If you have fine hair do not go here for a cut. I was very unhappy and even after showig several pictures the cut was nothing like any of them. I ended up going to another stylist to fix my hair. Now my hair is much shorter than I wanted or intended it to be. read more

All I can say is this place is awesome! Last time I went home to get my hair cut, the lady took way too much off and traumatized me for a while. I desperately needed a trim, and took a chance here. Jenna did exactly what I wanted- just took enough off to clean up the ends but not so much that the cut is noticeable other than the fact that it looks way more tidy. I've been a student here for 4 years, and always struggled with going home to get my hair cut. This is definitely my new go-to salon. Reasonable prices and super friendly people, plus it's right behind Sweet Frog... :) read more

These girls are seriously amazing! I came in from out of town for a wedding and everyone at evolution serioudly made the day so awesome for us. Jenna, Stephanie, and Christy did all our hair and Jess did our makeup. They were so professional and fun to work with and did a great job on all the hair and makeup. They made the day so relaxing and fun for all of us to get ready and seriously made all of us look super fabulous. Next time I'm in town, I will definitely be giving them a visit & I would reccomend anyone to them! Thanks Evolution! You guys are the best! read more

Love. Love! Moved here from Denver, CO and am so happy to have finally found a salon that is fabulous! Jenna is great and I always leave feeling goegeous!! read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I went there for eyelash extensions. Everything I had heard about eyelash extensions is that a new full set takes around an hour and a half. Christina did mine and it took LESS THAN A HALF HOUR. I knew at this point something was not right. I paid $110 dollars for straight garbage. I knew something was wrong as they started to grow out and there were clumps of adhesive all over my lashes. After 3 weeks I went to a new salon where the woman specializes in just lashes. They were so bad and clumpy that they had to be removed completely and now I am going for a whole new set; to someone who actually knows what they're doing and isn't completely lazy and clearly uneducated on what she's doing. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT be doing eyelash extensions!!! These kind of things can destroy your lashes! read more

I have been looking for years, since my old hairdresser moved away, to find someone who could do something for my difficult hair. I am so happy to say I finally found someone! Love my cut. I would highly recommend, read more

I had my hair cut by Vanessa and it was exactly what I needed! My hair had gotten long and shapeless and just generally unflattering. I didn't know how to style it anymore or how best to have it cut. Fortunately, Vanessa is so knowledgeable; she listened to what I like and don't like and made recommendations based on my comments. We agreed that the length needed to be sacrificed to improve the style, shape, and overall health. Going from long to short(er) hair is always nerve-racking but Vanessa took the time to understand what I wanted so I knew it would be a worthwhile trade-off. And I appreciate that she made 100% sure that I was okay with losing the length before she cut. In the process of working with my hair, she made some great recommendations for color too; I would go back to Vanessa for any of my hair needs! read more

Jenna and the whole team are amazing. The hair style I received is way better then I expected to receive. For how good this place is I'm surprised I didn't have to go to NYC or Buffalo. The prices for what they do are incredible and I would be surprised if there's something they can't do. My hair has never looked or felt this amazing in my life and I look forward to returning. read more

I visited the barbershop. Not so different from what I have experienced in this area for the last seven years, which is not OK. Owners of the shop are super cute and friendly and I am sorry to leave this feedback. But for men's hair they need to practice a lot using that scissors. Is there any place within 20 miles radius where you can get a decent haircut? read more

My name is Jacob and ive lived in Binghamton for 5 years, and finding a barber shop that could consistently do a good cut was really hard. Especially one that I could feel comfortable in. Chris over at Evolution did a great job, for me not being an advanced barber shop visitor, I showed him a picture and he said done. Looked exactly the way it did in the picture. The place was clean, the environment was friendly and I was able to watch some sports-center while I waited for my cut. Hands down, best barber shop in town. 5 stars, and I will be back. read more

Jenna is awesome. I tried it after a bad haircut somewhere else and she was able to fix my hair. I have been going back ever since. I would not trust my hair to anyone else. Even after only my first visit the second time I went back she remembered me and my situation. The place is clean, she is very nice, and the price is very reasonable. read more

Awesome place owned by an awesome family!!! I'm a grad student at SUNY and moved here from San Francisco over a year ago. I struggled to find a new stylist in the area--had been to a couple I didn't really love. SO glad I found Jenna! Her shop is cute, prices are great, and she is super friendly and talented. read more

Extremely talented hair dressers, nice atmosphere. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair other than the hands of Jenna!

Went here today as a walk-in after scouring yelp for a place to cut my long hair. Came out super satisfied! My hair was cut evenly and thoroughly, Kristy listened to exactly what I wanted, and I left happy! read more

Barber shop side is a joke , the hair salon was nice , women were polite and clean and had skills , on the other side I had a terrible haircut , the owner was rude and arrogant , seemed preoccupied with his phone and nervous looking out the window , the place smelled of marijuana , I would not recommend this place to anyone,he might be doing a bit more in this place than just haircutting lol read more
