Inaccurate hours listed…read more Noticed opening time was 10:30, which seemed a bit late. But if they generally get there by that time rather than 10, I appreciate the transparency. Prob is, they did not open at 10:30 nor was there any sign of them opening. Called the listed number and no answer. Arrived five to 10:30 and departed about 10:50. I had an afternoon appnt and without knowing what time they would actually open I couldn't wait around. There was a car parked there before I arrived and another pulled up as I was leaving out. Hopefully they were let in soon after. Found a comparable shop that answered and was open about 10 mins up the road. (Also I uber so it was a waste of a trip going in the first place.) Hopefully they can improve on maintaining up to date hours. I've been a few times throughout the years and service is what to be expected. They get the job done, and it can be a long visit (which is why I opted to try to go at opening). Personally I won't return bc the only benefit is the convenience of dropping in.

If I get a shampoo I should receive a standard conditioner at no extra cost but hey.... I couldn't give 5 stars because even though there weren't a lot of folks in the shop it took a while between washing and blowing and then a good wait to be styled. Other than that I was basically satisfied with the outcome. It was alright.

I moved to Atlanta last year, and finding a new stylist and salon is always one of my biggest…read moreanxieties when it comes to moving. I've had the unfortunate experience of hair nightmares when I first moved to other cities. Somehow, the trend always seems to be that the second salon I try ends up being the perfect one for me...and Atlanta has been no exception to this. I first tried another salon nearby, which left me totally unhappy. They charged me a TON of money for serious roots and the tiniest of trims...which altogether took well over 3 hours even though my hair is barely past my ears?! Yikes. Anyhow, you get the point. I would have to return to hunting for another salon. In a fit of desperation, I did try a box dye to fix my roots but...it did not end well. I called around town, but stylists were either full up for the weekend or unwilling to book me until they scheduled a separate color-correction consult session. I then came across Urban Evolution, and it seemed to fit the bill: a local salon, all the cut-color-smoothing services that I like to use, reasonable pricing, quality products, and a range of stylists to pick from. Best of all: I was able to snag an appointment the next day with Erin! I later discovered that she was the salon owner. She did an amazing job! I never felt judged, rushed, or not listened to. She asked a lot of excellent questions, taking the time to really understand my hair and styling preferences. She was very easy to talk to throughout the appointment. I left feeling like myself again (only with better hair)! I can breathe a sigh relief knowing that I've found "my" salon here in Atlanta. I highly recommend Urban Evolution to anyone, and also definitely recommend Erin! I'm a very happy client. To close out my review, here are some of the pros and cons of Urban Evolution... PROS: They have online booking, which was a huge plus for me as I work a very busy job and don't always have time to call during business hours. I also like that their website has a "match" quiz to help our you with a stylist, which I've never seen before but very much appreciated. A very cool feature! The salon itself is beautiful, and the staff are professional and super friendly. I can tell that everyone goes the extra mile to make clients as comfortable and cared for as possible. They always offer me a beverage, for example. At my last visit, I was bemoaning how I could never figure out how to style my hair wavy. Not only did Erin show me, but she had another staff member film her doing it on a few sections of my hair, all the while explaining each step, and then texted me the video so I can use it to guide me at home. They use and sell quality products. They have Oribe and Davines, both of which are fantastic lines. I've started using Oribe Silverati shampoo/conditioner at Erin's suggestion and I'm now obsessed - it's really helped to improve the health of my hair (I do a lot of coloring and heat styling). The salon schedule allows for evening and weekend appointments, which is very helpful for folks who may work busy jobs and not be able to come in during traditional 9-5 weekday hours. The salon is situated on a street with a lot of yummy restaurants and cafes, so you could always come meet a friend before or after for brunch, lunch, or cocktails! I've tried several at the recommendation of Erin and other salon staff, and all have been excellent. I love supporting local business, so I see this as a "pro." CONS: I'd you've read this far and you're still not convinced, I guess I could say that the only potential "con" is maybe the parking. They have street parking, or for a few bucks you can use the parking lot for the woodworking shop across the street. But even then, to me this is a pretty weak "con" because I've never had any trouble finding a spot (I've literally parked right in front of the salon the last several times that I've been there). Go try Urban Evolution...like me, you won't regret it!

I guess they don't think people now of days have African friends from their part of the country that can TELL US WHAT THEY ARE SAYING like my friends did!!! They are lucky I kept my cool and paid out of principle because I actually should have WALKED OUT mid braiding! The place is cramped and dirty (look at the dirty mirrors, broken shades, and simply how they keep the place). Do not dress up to go here! The NERVE to dare have an attitude. I've been a regular to this dump and mainly ONLY had them do a QUICK cornrow braid down so I can do a weave sew in. I had them do knotless box braids 1x and box braids this very LAST time. NEVER AGAIN. They had the nerve to CHARGE ME FOR THEIR MISTAKE when I told the girl I DID NOT WANT A LOT OF BLONDE AND THE PLACEMENT of where I wanted the blonde to go. She proceeded to put 2 blonde braids in the front and I asked her to remove them for the regular color I had and was charged $5 for her to redo the 2 braids! From pricing on length/style, filthy-ness of the place to their attitudes. JUST NO NO NO! You can get GREAT BRIADS AND SERVICE in "Decatur where it's greater" like everyone saids! DONT SETTLE for this unless you're local and desperate!!
