    I was in getting my monthly hair cut with the Salon yesterday that I have been going to for years. I witnessed a woman who was demanding something, not sure what , but her demeanor was a lil off and entitled and almost demanding. I couldn't exactly hear it but she was demanding the desk for something and the lady rips off her cape .. then I hear her slightly insulting and badgering with a very demeaning tone in her voice to one of the girls and the front desk girl. This is weird to be honest. It's a nice , laid back atmosphere that's not super loud which is why I love it. Everyone is helpful and nice. The owner is always giving me suggestions and helping look and feel better. The front desk girl is always nice and VERY efficient - she reminds me of making another appointment- if I need to move my appointment, she is very accommodating with the proper notice that anyone would need and appreciate! What I like is I am offered something to drink , told about products - one time I was there they got me lunch with them as a courtesy because I was signed up for a haircut and color but I needed highlights and lowlights which takes a lot more time. The music is playing, there is plenty of parking in back for free , the restroom is clean and so are the shampoo bowls. I am always very happy when I leave as well as my sister and bestie. We all go to different stylist and have the same experience which is - we feel great - were treated great and love our little corner Gem ! I have never had any issues at all and I have been going since 2007. I make an appointment- I show up on time - I appreciate the service - I get free parking then I pay - make another appointment and leave happy ! Thanks for being one of the best South Bay salons !!!

    I've been going to Mackenize for a few years now, having followed her from salon to salon. I'm so happy she landed at Evolution! The salon has a great vibe and everyone that works there is incredibly friendly. They even schedule appointments by text which might not seem like a big deal to some, but to me it makes a big difference! Go see Mackenize's work on Instagram at @hairbymackenziejacobs SHE IS THE VERY BEST!

    In Love! Thanks Jess!

    This place is a #FiveStarSalon! I had the pleasure of having Jessica as my salonist. She is amazing!!! Completely transformed my hair! I've been to so many salons but she literally has done the best job I've ever experienced. She knows her blonde! She's awesome to talk to but also respects if you need to handle business on your phone or just want to watch YouTube videos. She's great and I had a great experience. I will be coming back !! Thank you Jess!! Important: Prices: $$$ Parking: Down the Red Garage w/ code after you book an appt. Food: Along the strip, right next to the building

Moreover, maturity level has a lot to do with it. Location: Salon is located near the Bay Club, the location is beautiful and plenty to do afterwards, but not worth it when you leave the salon with results that you clearly advised you did not want to see. Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass. Front desk person: Woman that answers the phone provides the recommendation on who to see based on the description that you give her; altough I'm not sure she is the right person so make those determinations. Color: Failed results at all times, kept saying that it's a process, yet she never invested in achieving the color as we discussed. I felt low and disregarded every single time I left the salon. I paid over $1000 to not obtain the results in each session. When I shared my concerns with her and advised that the incorrect color was used, she became distant, ghosted me on text and was not honest about when she was in the office. I called the salon and the woman at the front told me she was there. I feel cheated and hurt. There is no salon manager, no one that cares or that you can speak to about your concerns. Payments are done directly to the stylist.

She gave me the best cut and color. I asked for a natural-ish blonde and she just knew what to do.

    **Extremely Disappointed With My Hair Color**…read more I had my hair done by Lindsay. I was very clear about what I wanted: a **base break to lighten my roots** and blend them with the rest of my hair. Instead, Lindsay applied a dye/color that did not achieve what I had asked for. My roots were essentially left the same, and the result was not what we discussed. I trusted her with my hair and was expecting a professional result, but I left feeling extremely disappointed. The whole reason I booked the appointment was to have my roots lightened and blended, and that simply did not happen. What is especially frustrating is that I was clear about my desired result beforehand. If a base break wasn't going to achieve what I wanted, I would have expected that to be explained to me before proceeding with the service. I would not have agreed to pay for a service that didn't accomplish what I specifically requested. Unfortunately, my hair was left looking essentially the same at the roots, and now I have to spend additional time and money having another stylist correct it. I would strongly recommend making sure you are completely clear on what product and technique will be used before allowing them to proceed. I am extremely disappointed with the result and will not be returning to Lindsay.

I am trying to…read moregrow out my gray and had an obvious gray to colored hair line in my hair that I was definitely tired of. I wanted to blend the gray into the bottom of my hair to look a bit more natural. Originally, the full idea would have a bit out of my budget, but Krystal came up with another idea to do some 'baby' highlights (highlighting just the top layer of my hair) to pull the grayish color through. So we kept my gray on top, added some highlights on top (which she toned gray, almost blue, kinda cool, certainly not orange!!) and then dyed the bottom of my hair to match my natural dark brown/black hue. Not only is the color amazing (both the gray and the dark brown to match my hair) but one of the best blowouts/styles I've ever gotten, with just 10-15 minutes of drying (I have coarse, frizzy, wavy hair). She gave me beautiful waves in front just with the blowdryer. Amazing. I wish I could have my hair look like this every day. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone. The salon was also very cute and welcoming and there are a few off street parking spots next door. My total even came to less than I was expecting.

She went to Mia yesterday and came back looking like she had received a cheap $20 haircut. I was shocked when she told me she paid $95 for this. Are you kidding me? This is incredibly disappointing and unacceptable for the price. I am so upset and heartbroken to see my mother like this. You really need to work on your quality.

I brought in example/ inspo photo (just simple long layer cut) and asked for face framing pieces and showed it to the stylist, but the stylist barely looked at the photo. My hair looked nothing like the photo I showed, and it was cut much shorter than expected and the end feels choppy. I gave it more chance by washing and drying the day after, but it's overall disappointing. I had mentioned a few times I want to keep it longer like the picture I showed, but it wasn't heard. I couldn't say much more once the stylist made the very first snip and had to go along with it. It became even shorter by the end. I wish the stylist had been more proactive about the consultation before proceeding with the cut. I got an impression that the stylist wanted to get through the hair cut session as a quickly as possible. This was for upcoming graduation, so it is more disappointing. Again, very nice lady. Not too sure if it's just one time issue!

    Nori is one of the finest stylists you can frequent…read more He has a meticulous attention to details and I super appreciate his precision cuts. He services his scissors in Japan semi-annually just to maintain his equipments in great condition. This helps prevent split ends and other hair troubles I used to frequently encounter. Nori also uses a scale to formulate the hair colors. You can feel assured you won't come out of the salon looking funky. Appointments can be made online directly from his website, or by emailing/texting him directly. He is very flexible and accommodating with appointments. Lastly, parking can be found adjacent from the salon building structure. You can also charge your EV for free too. Amex accepted and drinks and clean environment offered. Can't recommend Nori enough.

    I went in to get a perm and cut…read more The vibe was very nice. Very respectful. His space was very clean and tidy with what seems, state of the art tools. I have had fine hair all my life, but even still my hair has always taken well to perms, always. Even the last one over a year ago. The only complaint I had was the use of larger rods which made my hair more wavy curl than curly. Nori had said that my hair wouldn't take well to a perm, but because I know my hair's history, I asked him do it anyway and he agreed to do it. First he used a more gentle solution because of my pervious perm over a year ago (did not ask if I wanted that), and I didn't know until he was already in the process of using it on my hair... my hair needs the stronger solution. Second he did a loose curl wrap instead of a tight curl wrap. With fine hair (or at least my hair) it needs to be curled up against the scalp. I think he did this because it was a hot treatment perm (which I never had before) vs a cold treatment perm. He didn't give an option. So the perm came out ok on the bottom because it already had the previous perm that was there from a year ago. But the top part of my hair had virtually no difference. If you have fine hair and looking to get a perm, I would not recommend Nori. I'm sure he does really well with all other hair services. To his credit, the perm itself, aside from the lack of curl, was a healthy perm (did not harm my hair) and he did give a very nice cut prior to the perm process. I think if he would have explained his treatment process and how it differed from what I had previously experienced, that may have helped my decision to go elsewhere, before wasting over $200 I had taken a year 1/2 to save. Again I think he probably does really well with the other services he provides. I just think for women (or men) with fine hair, you may want to think twice if you're looking to get a perm.
