Visiting us

  1. Where is Evolution of Beauty?
    We are at 238 West Main Street, Suite 4 in downtown Marshall, Minnesota. Free street parking out front and side access from the alley.
  2. Do I need to book ahead?
    Booking ahead is best. The booking link at the top of this page is the fastest way, and it is open 24 hours. We do sometimes have walk-ins available, and you are always welcome to stop in and shop our retail shelves during open hours.
  3. Can I come in without an appointment?
    Yes. You are welcome to walk in and shop our retail shelves during open hours (Éminence, Skin Script, jane iredale and the rest), and we are happy to talk you through what would suit your skin. We do sometimes have treatment openings on the day too, so it is always worth asking.
  4. What are your hours?
    Tuesday to Thursday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Friday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We are closed Sunday and Monday. Online booking is open around the clock.
  5. How much do treatments cost?
    Every price is on our booking site, listed against the treatment it belongs to, and it is always the current one. Open the booking link at the top of this page to see the full menu, or call us and we will talk you through what a treatment involves and what it comes to.
  6. How do I pay, and can I buy a gift card?
    You can settle up at the front desk after your treatment. Gift cards are available. Call or stop in and we will sort one out for you.
  7. What is your cancellation policy?
    A 24-hour notice keeps your card on file from being charged. Same-day cancels and no-shows are charged 50% of the booked service.

Facials and skin

  1. What is a customized facial?
    A customized facial is a personalized skincare experience created just for you. Every appointment begins with a skin analysis, allowing your esthetician to choose the products and techniques that best support your skin's needs that day. Because your skin is always changing, no two facials are ever exactly the same.
  2. Which facial should I book?
    Our two mains are the Tailored Facial and the Evolution Signature Facial. Both are customized to your skin on the day; the Signature is the longer, more indulgent version. If you are not sure, book either one, or call and we will point you at the right treatment for what you are dealing with.
  3. How often should I have a facial?
    Monthly is the rhythm skin rewards, which is why our memberships are built that way. Your esthetician gets to see how your skin responds and adjusts the plan as it goes, rather than starting from scratch each visit.
  4. Can you treat acne, pigmentation or fine lines?
    Yes. Depending on what your skin needs, a treatment can focus on hydration, calming, brightening, firming or acne care, and we have advanced options including Procell Microchanneling, peels, Glo2 treatments and dermaplaning. Book a Microchanneling Consultation if you would like a plan mapped out before committing.
  5. What should I do before a facial?
    Nothing complicated. Come as you are, with or without makeup. Do tell your esthetician what you are currently using on your skin, especially retinoids, acids or anything prescribed, so the treatment can be adjusted around it.
  6. Do you sell the products you use?
    Yes. We carry Éminence Organics, Skin Script, jane iredale and FarmHouse Fresh on our retail shelves, and you leave with simple home-care recommendations. Éminence can also be ordered direct with free shipping through our shop link.

Waxing, lashes and brows

  1. How long does hair need to be for waxing?
    About a quarter of an inch, which is usually two to three weeks of growth. If you are not sure, come in anyway. We would rather look at it than have you wait longer than you need to.
  2. How long does a lash lift or tint last?
    A lash lift generally carries you through six to eight weeks, and tinting fades gradually over a few weeks. Brow lamination sits in a similar window. We will let you know when to rebook based on how yours settles.
  3. Do you do Brazilians?
    We do, and it is one of our most-booked services. There is also a Brazilian Beauty membership built around a monthly Brazilian if you would rather stay on top of it year-round.

Massage

  1. Who does the massage?
    A licensed massage therapist. Thirty, sixty and ninety-minute sessions, all bookable online.
  2. How long are your massages?
    Thirty, sixty or ninety minutes. Sixty is the most-booked; ninety is the one people book when they want the whole thing slowed down properly.
  3. Can I add anything to a massage?
    Yes. Hot stone, cupping and CBD can all be added on. Mention it when you book, or ask your therapist when you arrive.

Bridal and makeup

  1. Do you do bridal on location?
    Yes. We book bridal trials in the suite and on the wedding day we travel to your prep venue. Reach out with the date and group size for a quote.
  2. How do I inquire about bridal makeup?
    Bridal makeup inquiries go through our inquiry form, which is the fastest way to get a date checked and a quote back. Serious inquiries only, please. If you are just after pricing, call the spa on (507) 591-5218 and we will talk you through it.
  3. Can my bridal party book too?
    Yes. Group bridal is something we do regularly, so include your party size and the wedding morning timings when you inquire and we will build the schedule around them.
  4. Do you do makeup for anything other than weddings?
    We do. There is event makeup, makeup for photos, and an Evolve Makeup Lesson if you would rather learn to do it yourself. All of those are bookable online.

Memberships

  1. How does a membership work?
    Choose from three plans: Brazilian Beauty ($73, a monthly Brazilian wax), Tailored Experience ($113, a monthly Tailored Facial), or Evolution Experience ($142, a monthly Evolution Signature Facial). Your payment goes into your spa wallet, and it never expires, so if you would rather put it toward a different service that month, you can. Every plan includes priority booking and 10% off retail, and the two facial tiers add 15% off additional services plus member perks. You can start online or in the studio.
  2. What happens if I miss a month?
    Nothing is lost. Your payment goes into your spa wallet and it never expires, so unused credit simply sits there until you want it.
  3. Can I use my membership on a different service?
    Yes. Each plan is built around a service, but the money in your spa wallet can go toward any service instead: a massage, a peel, a lash lift, or retail, whenever you would rather do that.
