Love this spa. The front desk is nice and helpful. Staff is always on time. I had both of my two massage appointments with Leslie which is absolutely the best! I would definitely recommend!! read more

Really fantastic little spa. Reasonable pricing, friendly people, great atmosphere. I was late and they were super accommodating. The owner was there and very friendly. Got a 60 min deep tissue and it was great. Will definitely go again and may try some other services. read more

Great spot to relax the day away! I loved my massage with Genevieve! She worked knots out of my back that were there for months! Kristie gave me an amazing facial and manicure that's going to make me feel like a million bucks all week! Honestly, this little spa in this little house is so warm and inviting I can't wait to go back! read more

I was in a fender bender and after a few chiropractor appointments and little relief I decided to try a massage. I got a deep tissue massage from Blake on a Sunday morning and after two sessions I'm feeling a lot better! Great customer service and quality work! read more

Yesterday was my first visit to evolve, and I plan to go back! Excellent ambiance, welcoming staff, just the right pressure massage. The tea and dark chocolate were a sweet treat. Thank you! read more

Like most reviewers on here I bought the Groupon. I am always looking for deals to be frugal. No matter what this will be the spa I come to for my massages from now on, Cara is amazing. She is a good soul and not only gives a good physical massage but she eliminates bad energy too. I have recommended this spa to multiple people and they have a referral discount too! I like the fact that they use the Hungarian Organic facial line called Eminence. fabulous products, and they smell good enough to eat. I LOVE this spa! read more

This isn't a spot for manicures... I splurged for their vegan product manicure and didn't feel like it was anything special. The technician wasn't educated on the products and how they were different from other options. There wasn't much time spent on hand massage and it wasn't a relaxing experience overall. The space was lovely and welcoming - if I ever go back it'll be for a massage or facial for sure! read more

Keri was the most amazing wonderful woman I've ever Met. She was so sweet and kind and I would drive an hour again to see her.

On a whim I bought the refresh package to use on a day off. This place is up the street from the apartment and I've been curious since we moved in. My first impression was of urban chic and calm. The dark wood and ambience were welcoming, as were the two ladies manning the front desk. I arrived 5 minutes early and my aesthetician was waiting for me so we started straight away. I was a little disappointed I was not offered any refreshment before beginning my treatments but that's a small thing. Facial was with Carie (sp.?) And it was amazing. Relaxing, but definitely cleansing. I loved every second of it. She asked about my skin before she started and walked me through the various stages and products (including a chocolate mask that smelled like frosting). My skin looked and felt am at when she was done. Next she gave me a robe and a bag for my things ( nice touch) and walked me to my massage. Only downside:had to walk through the waiting room where dudes were waiting in the robe. I'm sure they didn't care but I felt a little self conscious. Massage was a solid OK. Not bad but not great. In fairness it was a short one as it was part of the package but still. She didn't ask about problem areas or things I wanted to focus on. She did good work on my shoulder blades but I honestly was not happy with the way she scratched my scalp (!) For what felt like a long time. I give it a 6/10. Onto the manicure. So this is a really mixed review. I had told them ahead of time I had gel polish on so that was ok. What I wasn't told was they would upcharge me for the polish removal. Look I would have said yes and paid it but I didn't like only being told at the end of the service. The manicure itself was actually lovely but it was supposed to be a ginger manicure as part of the package. It definitely wasn't. And the space where they do the manicure was terrible - cluttered, covered in all sorts of supplies. Definitely not conducive to a relaxing or pampering experience. Kristie the manicurist was pleasant and chatty but forgot to ask me what color I wanted at the start. In the end though I loved how the manicure looks - so am trying to balance reviewing the experience with the end product. All in all this felt like a small urban spa that's a few steps away from being an amazing retreat. Small things like refreshments, a neater workspace and a reconfigured waiting area would make a huge difference. The price point is excellent and I will definitely be back for facials. read more

I have got to Kerri for a year for waxing and she does an amazing job! The spa is very peaceful and everyone is super friendly!

Evolve wellness spa is my favorite little oasis in the city. The environment is intimate and calming. The staff are knowledgeable and caring. While I don't get to go as often as I would like, every experience I've had there has been a positive one. read more

I have been a client at Evolve for years, the massages have always been relaxing and the service is great. I get a facial once a month from Lauren and she is just amazing. My skin is so healthy now thanks to all her advice and she doesn't over sell the products. She only suggests what I have found truely works for my skin. read more

Such a great experience with Becky. Very relaxing and she asked what areas I wanted her to pay attention to before starting. I was able to just close my eyes and relax in silence the entire time and feel totally comfortable. Definitely recommend read more

Heather gave me the best massage I've ever had today. I was so relaxed, and that is hard for me to do. Highly recommend her for massages!

I received the "Glow package" (massage, facial, mani/pedi) as a gift. Helen did an outstanding job with my massage and I purchased another massage session with her before I left. This was the first facial I've ever had. Still not sure if I enjoyed it... The woman who did mine seemed distracted and at one point was on her phone for a couple minutes during the middle of my facial. Also, I usually get a gel manicure and they do not provide this service, so I will most likely go get a manicure elsewhere next time. Pedicure was just okay. I agree with the other reviews that it is not relaxing with the nail area in the front of the waiting area of the spa. Overall, I look forward to my next massage with Helen but will not go for the other services again. read more

Just went to Evolve for the first time based on a recommendation from a friend. I had a Groupon for a facial and a massage. Both were amazing and the people were so sweet. Everyone treated me like gold and the atmosphere was so relaxing. They went above and beyond! It was so great that I am going to get a gift certificate for my mom for Christmas ! read more

Love this place. Have been coming here for years, and all the services I've received have exceeded expectations. The space itself is lovely and cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly! I recommend Kalina for massages; she's great! read more

This place is a little piece of heaven. The staff is so kind and always professional. The massage is the best I've ever had and you leave feeling like a new person. Facials are equally wonderful-your skin is radiant. This is a treat that everyone should experience at least once but you'll want to definitely return! read more

Hidden gem in shadyside - I went in for a massage and facial that were both amazing. In between services I sat in their relaxation room that was very peaceful. Everyone was really friendly! read more

Just an update that the spa upped the facial to $100 so that the package now feels like $5 off.

One of my favorite things about Evolve Wellness is the easy to use and accurate online booking system. Whenever I need a facial or relaxation time I log on to their website, select a service, a time, and (if you want) a person. It is just as easy to cancel an appointment too. I love the facials, Kristie is the person I use. She gives a relaxing hand massage during the facial, which is a nice bonus. Just make sure to bring a cash tip. read more

I never really take the time to review spas, but I just finished a 90 minute hot stone massage with Chioma and wanted to tell others about my experience. It was my first time at this spa, but I had heard good things. The décoré/ambiance is nice and really pretty. They served fresh fruit water while you wait, which was an added bonus. I've had massages all over the world in a wide range of spas and I will say that my massage with Chioma today was the best massage I have ever had. She was not only calming, very nice and professional, but gave the perfect amount of pressure and a really great style of massage. I will definitely be returning and asking for her! read more

This place is great. I've been following Becky for years and it's been a pleasure to get worked on in this space. The other staff are friendly, the prices are fair and it's extremely relaxing in the massage rooms. I try to go every time I'm in town. read more

Evolve is amazing! I organized a spa day for a group of six, and the staff was extremely accommodating. Each of us had multiple services done and we all enjoyed them tremendously! My massage with Becky and facial with Audra were blissful. The spa atmosphere was both welcoming and relaxing, and the prices were very reasonable. We can't wait to go back! read more

My husband and I were in dire need of a relaxing night and Evolve totally delivered! Plus, a very friendly and accommodating staff and therapists. read more

I needed a massage after a long week. I got exactly what I needed. I did the 60 minute relaxation massage with Matt and it was wonderful. He worked my shoulders and upper back (where I hold all my tension) and had great pressure. The spa was cute and well appointed. The only thing is I wish there was a Shower and place to really relax afterwards - but that seems like something they don't do in Pittsburgh. Matt was great and even offered advice on self care between appointments. read more

Martina is a wonderful person to talk to while getting something done (: highly suggest. Good people and good atmosphere !

My boyfriend and I had 90 minute massages today With Mike and Becky. The massages were relaxing and the staff is friendly. We will go back for massages and to check out other services on the menu! read more

I haven't had a massage since moving to the city and I had a wonderful experience at evolve. I will definitely consider getting the subscription package because it is a super deal. Even without it, prices were much more reasonable than other spas in the area. read more

I love this place! They are always so kind, and always have delicious water awaiting your arrival/departure. I've experienced several of their LMTs, and they are all outstanding. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany, who really listened to me while I discussed my problem areas. She took extra time and care to focus on the sources of my back pain. I left feeling not only relaxed, but more aligned and virtually pain free! She recommended a 90-minute hot stone next time, and provided the reasons for the recommendation. So yeah...I'll be back for that 90-minute hot stone very soon! Thank you, Brittany!! read more

Stephanie was amazing! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and recommended the right facial for my skin concerns...which was perfect! I am still seeing results from it and could not have had a better experience. I am beyond thankful for the expertise that she provided and will definitely be back again! read more

I enjoyed my massage. My therapist was sensitive to my individual requests as far as area of focus and level of pressure. The space was very relaxing and smelled extraordinary. Honestly if the scent or aroma therapy products were for sale I would buy it in a second. I felt that they worked harder than other massage locations I've visited (mostly big box chains) to provide a relaxing setting. The space was dark with candles and very low lighting, soft voices were encouraged and a noise machine was also used with music. Also I loved the warming table. It definitely made my week! read more

I got a gift card to evolve so I went in to get a facial. What a great experience! One of the best and most relaxing facials I have ever had- I even fell asleep briefly! When I first arrived I was not sure what to expect because the spa is in an old Shadyside house complete with creaky floors and funny drapes. But I was completely blown away! Olga is super knowledgeable and helpful. She suggested I add dermablading to my facial, which really helped brighten my skin. She is also certified to do extractions so I definitely recommend Olga for facials. I will be going back for sure. PS- the entire place smells amazing. read more

Evolve Wellness Spa is wonderful. I called and left a message about booking a same day appointment before the spa opened and received a call back within the hour from Beth. She was able to fit me in the same day and was very gracious on the phone. Upon arriving to Evolve, I received a warm and prompt reception from Gabrielle. Darius is one of the most expert massage therapists I have encountered----and I have received massages around the world. The massage left me feeling a million times better than when I first arrived. He is knowledgeable and very clearly explains his technique and treatment suggestions. Following the massage I was welcomed into the relaxation room where the dim lights and comfortable reclining chaise lounges were a perfect accompaniment to my treatment. Gabrielle also provided some delicious relaxation tea, too. read more

I went to Evolve yesterday after having received a gift certificate from a dear friend with the most beautiful skin. I have had facials in Pittsburgh over the years. Undoubtably, This was the best. Keri hit it out of the park! She is a Pro. Great touch.. the peels and masques felt great. The products are all organic.. as in completely. I ended up purchasing a few. The vibe at Evolve is calm and soothing. Geniveve the manager is lovely. I was well taken care of the moment I arrived. The Piéce de Résistance is my skin is still glowing! This is my first review on yelp .. Just had to let everyone know.. as Evolve is the best kept secret. read more

Had a wonderful day at Evolve Wellness Spa. Enjoyed a Serenity package, massage and facial. Will definitely be back in 2018!

Short version: worst massage ever. Longer version... Things started off with them 20 minutes behind schedule. Not a big deal for me, other than the thumb twirling, but this was not a good first impression. Went upstairs to a room to get started. I was asked what kind of massage I wanted, to which I said deep pressure. I was asked if there was an area I needed extra time on. Okay, we're in the zone here. I said back and shoulders. Then it started. The relaxing music was fine, but was interrupted by incoming phone calls to the device. No biggie...it's not like I need to reset the Enya to get my relax on...but the masseuse tried to keep massaging while messing with her phone. Weak. Actually, what was really weak was the level of pressure. Even though it was supposed to be deeper pressure, it was more like when TSA pats you down...but with lube. I will say that the hot stones were nice, but the primary thing I was looking for was to work out some knots. That did NOT happen. And the stones kept falling all over the place. *rattle* *clang* A highlight was the 45-second foot rub, which did feel good. *crash* (another stone falling) Overall I left feeling tight and disappointed. read more

Stephanie is amazing! So thankful to her for rescuing my skin. Everyone at Evolve is super nice. Great service & great atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

I had a bad experience here and wrote a review about it. The owners contacted me right away and brought me back for a 2nd facial. This was awesome. Audra is amazing, I felt relaxed and my skin looked great. This changed my entire perspective on the place and I am considering joining the spa club. thanks for your superb customer service! read more

Got a deep tissue massage, but it was very light, and I felt slimy from all the oil she used. She also did not massage my abdominals, which too many massage therapists skip. read more
