The folks over at "Evolved" Barbershop mean every single word they say and they stand by all of them, which on the night my 9 yr old boy and Ishowed up was quite a few of them. Seriously though, (and I do not have names nor would I share if I did), the dude at the front stall, as you enter, was very engaging and hilarious. From the moment we walked in his commentary was cordial, comical and engaging! I'm one of those dudes who is not overly fond of "small" talk. I am not a jerk about it and if you ask me some meaningless question, or point out some pointless fact such as, "Boy, it sure is getting chilly lately". I will respond to you, but I am not happy about it! I just like to keep the peace, ya know!? Now, to his actual haircut//"stylist". it was Fantastic/ She was Amazing! For $30, she threw some "rizz" on my boy! (At the age of 53, I have absolutely no clue if that word was just used properly or not?! Nonetheless, my kid was extremely happy about his new 'do, and I'm sure the 3rd grade "ladies" over at Whispering Oak Elementary would agree! My teenage daughter just "cringed". (I'm learning...). OK...well, now I feel would be a good time to conclude this review! Please know, and with 100% seriousness, our lady in the 2nd Booth from the front door was great! She was awesome at making my shy, always trying too hard to be cool, and quite picky, 9 year old feel great, comfortable and and with a newfound confidence. I suppose that is what a new look, expertly created, can do for you! I forgot to mention that she was quick, as well! We walked in (no appt) around 6:30pm pn a Tuesday night and there was only one other customer in the joint. During our 20 min or so, that guy finished and another guy entered and was promptly greeted and taken care of by the young man near the back. After roughly 17-20 minutes, my lil dood shook off the excess strands of cut hair and walked out of EVOLVED with a whole lot more "rizz" and you cannot place a price tag on that! My son's hair has NEVER looked better and I mean that!!! That is why we will be returning to EVOLVED every 3-4 weeks as we go forward!

I've been going to Cyrus every week and he never disappoints. Not only is he an incredibly skilled…read morebarber, but he's also one of the most friendly and welcoming people you'll meet. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. His attention to detail is unmatched -- clean fades, sharp lines, and always consistent. I never have to worry about how my haircut is going to turn out because he delivers every single time. He actually listens to what you want and makes sure you leave the chair looking and feeling your best. If you're looking for a barber who's talented, reliable, and genuinely good vibes all around, Cyrus is your guy. Highly recommend.

Let me start by saying I had a great experience with the young lady who cut my hair. She was…read morefriendly, personable, and professional. I later found out she was an apprentice, and honestly, she did a solid job. My haircut turned out great overall. There were a few small spots around my ears and neckline that weren't fully cleaned up, but nothing major. She had a positive attitude, and I believe she's going to be excellent with more experience. Now, unfortunately, the rest of the experience was not great. When I walked in, a gentleman in the first chair to my left greeted me and asked if I was ready for my haircut. As I was scanning the QR code, I said yes. He then directed me to a chair a few spots down. When I walked over, the young man there continued having a conversation with another barber and didn't acknowledge me. I stood there unsure of where to sit or what to do. After what felt like an eternity, I had to ask where I was supposed to go. Without saying a word, he pointed to the apprentice behind me and told me to sit with her, then continued his conversation -- even blowing another barber's beanie off with the air blower they use to clean hair off clients. While sitting in the chair, I noticed hair all over the floor, and the same two employees were goofing around and behaving unprofessionally. It didn't feel like a welcoming or respectful environment. To be clear, my one-star rating is not because of the apprentice. She did her best and treated me kindly. The issue is with the lack of professionalism, poor work ethic, and immature behavior from the other staff member. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, this experience missed the mark. I was charged $35, which I don't mind paying for a good haircut -- but I do expect professionalism along with it. Because of the overall customer service experience, I will not be returning or recommending this place.

Only thing I regret is not taking a pic so you can see the proven results. As to negative comments below, in regards taking "homies" before you. Yeah, that's what happens when you are a loyal customer, make appts and/Or tip really well.

He's not one to sit there and be quick, so if you want quick, go somewhere else. If you want someone to take their time, pride themselves in their work, and bend your ear, he's your dude. I went in the first time with an open mind. My second time, he got me damn near perfect, I say it like that, because anyone who knows about your relationship with a barber knows it's going to take at least 5 cuts to get things dialed in. I always, and I mean always only leave quality reviews on Yelp. If I am giving a review, it means I appreciate the overall experience and quality of service I'm paying for. With that said, Khalif is now my regular barber. Also, I would recommend setting a time with him up because if not, you might have to wait. Remember you can't have all three ever (easy, cheap, fast). For example, if you want it cheap and easy it's not going to be fast. If you want it fast is not going to be cheap or easy. He's a great guy and the staff are great in there too!
