Another Negative Review

This time from Insider Pages

Quoting the review:

I saw a special for this place on sale at Sam's club. It was a package that included a haircut, facial, manicure and massage. I thought it seemed a bit suspect, so I called the business and asked them about it. They told me not to buy the package, because they no longer have a massage therapist. They said they weren't supposed to be displaying that at Sam's. However, I just looked them up again online and they are still selling it. I wonder how many people bought these and can't get the massage redeemed. It seems like they should have their act together a little more

I just verified this myself. Judy is still advertising a mini massage deal here when she doesn't have a massage therapist on staff. Be vary weary of what you buy for Evolutions.

Merry Christmas the Judy Manes Way

Care to know how a heartless woman celebrates Christmas? By firing two of her employees on CHRISTMAS EVE!

Now, in my mind it would take a pretty serious offense to terminate someone on Christmas Eve. Especially if you claim to be a christian. (Judy is apparently as good at being a christian as she is as a business owner...fail!) She couldn't wait until after the new year, she had to ruin two girls' holidays.

Congratulations Scrooge. I can only hope that your termination of two employees the day before Christmas is due to Evolutions Salon and Day Spa's impending failure. I'd like to laugh you all the way to your car the day you lock up shop for the last time.

Search Success!

I'm proud to announce that we're the number 1 search site when searching Google for "Evolutions Salon Day Spa Sucks".

Even more exciting, our parent site www.somethingshappeningintechnology.com is top of page 4 when searching for "Evolutions Salon Day Spa". That's up from page 11 a couple of weeks ago.

Since everyone knows how important Google is to driving people to pages, this is obviously exciting news. We'll keep trying to get the word out about why we think Evolutions Salon and Day Spa truly does suck.

Update: Our parent site is now on page 2! Exciting times.

Negative Review

We're scouring the web on patrol for bad user reviews on Evolutions Salon and Day Spa.

First one up, from local.yahoo.com

I've been to this spa several times and never seem to see the same faces. I'd really like to build a relationship with my stylist, but it is impossible due to the high turnover at this salon. I kind of liked the last girl that I had there, I think her name was Holly. I guess I'll try to find out what salon she went to and patronize that salon instead.

We'll keep our eyes out for any other negative posts which may turn up.

High Pressure Sales

We have a Something's Happening In Technology exclusive!

We've tracked down a former stylist from Evolutions Salon and Day Spa. It was pretty easy since Judy Manes has gone through approximately 65 employees in 7 years. (That's a 200% turnover rate for those of you who think "dued to" is a phrase)

We asked this stylist her reason for leaving. Allegedly, Judy is all about high pressure sales. She doesn't care about selling you products that will actually help you, she's just interested in selling you crap.

So, if you are a client at Evolutions, I'd be sure to be suspect of anything a stylist tries to sell you. Chances are you don't really need it. They may just be trying to keep their job.

Welcome to Why Evolutions Salon & Day Spa Sucks

If there's one thing we take seriously on this site, it's our Something's Happening In Technology List. We really pride ourselves in putting the crappiest of the crappy on this list. So, it is with much fanfare we add our newest king of the SHIT List: Evolutions Salon and Day Spa.

We think that Evolutions is such a crappy business, they deserve their own page here at Somethings Happening In Technology. We'll use this page to track all of the crap we can dig up about Evolutions.

But first...the rest of the original post crowning Evolutions the top of the SHIT list pile:

I'd provide a link to this testament to crappiness, but the incompetent bitch who runs the business was too stupid to renew her domain name, so it would just point you to a cybersquatting ad site.

The owner of this establishment seems to have a problem keeping pregnant women employed. To be fair, she has a problem keeping anyone employed, and has an unbelievable turnover rate. Of course, I would imagine it is hard to keep employees when you talk down to them, treat them like they are stupid, and generally wrap yourself in your sanctimonious cloak of superiority.

That superiority would be easier to take if the owner wasn't one of the dumbest people on the face of the earth.

Example A:
A letter that states "Dued to the fact..." blah, blah, blah.

Example B:
Refusing to pay employees on time, even when mandated by state law.

And don't even get me started on the potential false advertising. The owner appears to have a penchant for selling gift certificates for massages when she can't keep a massage therapist. (Surprise, surprise.) If someone were to complain about this, she makes it overly hard to get your money back.

So, welcome to your new throne Judy Manes of Evolutions Salon and Day Spa. I have a feeling you'll be reigning from that throne for quite some time.
