When mothers first sprinkle a baby’s bald head with water and fertilizers, they can only guess how the ensuing hair will grow. For $30, today’s Groupon lets clients take control of their own wildly growing follicles with $80 worth of hair and waxing services at Evolve Salon on Massachusetts Avenue.

Nominated as one of the city's top destinations for hair coloring by CityVoters, Evolve Salon provides a wide array of aesthetic services to maximize its clients' exterior allure. Make a date for a cut ($50 for women, $35 for men) with one of the salon's hairdo da Vincis, who tame tresses with artful snips and winning smiles. Or, stop in for a straightening treatment ($100) to recalibrate your personal compass by ensuring that your locks always point due south. Upstyling ($70) preps noodle nests for special occasions, and double-process color treatments ($95) help fashionistas coordinate with the tricky all-blond wardrobes popular at this season's runway shows. Brow, lip, and chin waxing ($12 each) are also available to keep facial landscapes pristine and pulchritudinous.

Because Evolve's friendly folliculologists bring years of experience to their salon chairs, even the most cunning, disobedient cowlicks stand (or lie down) at attention. Rustic exposed brick, creamy hues, and art-laden walls contribute to the salon's warm environment, eschewing the stuffy atmosphere of many coiffure carveries for a more comfortable head holiday.

Reviews

CityVoters nominated Evolve Salon for Best Hair Color in Indianapolis, after the salon won second in the competition in 2007 and placed fourth in 2009. Four Yelpers and three Google Mappers give Evolve a perfect five-star average.

• Not only is the salon fun and exciting, the staff is incredibly talented. Once you receive a cut and color here, you won't believe the amount of compliments you'll receive. – D F, CityVoter
• I've been an Evolve customer since they've opened. They don't just advertise personal service, they practice it. They have truely [sic] helped me to "Evolve" my personal style. I have referred MANY friends there, all of which have been happy with the salon. – tiffany3333, Google Maps
