I graduate in a week so I never expected to be able to book a hair appointment before then, but Alayna was able to make time for me the next day! I walked in and the studio was beautiful, I had a few inspo pics but Alayna personalized and help me come up with a better plan/inspiration for my hair. Throughout the whole appointment she was very easy to be around, AND she has great music taste (which makes a difference when you're in a salon for 3+ hours)! On top of this I ended up leaving with amazing hair that was exactly what I envisioned. 10/5 stars! Will be coming back! read more

Joan is wonderful. She's a really great manager and did some serious damage control. I genuinely appreciate her efforts. Being happy with your hair can definitely take time and the right stylist who listens. I've had Alayna do my hair a few times and though she's talented, she's not the best listener. She's a little cocky and sometimes can be pretty rude. My hair grabbed really dark, darker than what we agreed upon and her response to me was unprofessional and aloof. It's very easy to tell someone "it's just hair" when it's not their hair. I think the quality of products is great, staff could over all use more attention and regrouping with their manager. Alayna delivered the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Even after Joan's correction my hair is still too dark. I spent over $500 in services and $131 in product. It sucks but it is what it is. Though hair can always be changed how you are treated stays. It's something I'll never forget. read more

I've waited almost two years to write this review because I was so upset at the time. But after everything, I think people deserve to know about my experience. I went in for a full bleach--something I've been getting done for over a decade--so I know what a proper bleach job should look like. Halfway through the application, the hairdresser casually mentioned that this was her first time doing a full bleach rather than just highlights or partial treatments. That should have been my first red flag. As time passed, it became painfully clear that things were going wrong. Other stylists in the salon started checking on my hair, and some even offered to help because the process was taking far too long--over an hour just for less than half of my hair. By the time the appointment was over, my hair was a complete disaster. There were pure white stripes mixed in with brassy orange sections--an obvious bleach failure. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, the entire salon staff took turns looking at my hair, awkwardly assuring me that "it looks good even if it's not what you had in mind." But this wasn't a case of my hair turning out slightly different than expected--this was a clear case of poor bleaching technique. Fixing it properly meant paying a fortune to have each section carefully re-bleached, and they knew that. The dishonesty was the worst part. If they had admitted the mistake and tried to make it right, I would have had more respect for them. Instead, they chose to gaslight me. They knew they had messed up--because at the end of the appointment, the hairdresser offered me a glass of wine, as if that would make up for the disaster on my head instead of taking responsibility. I was so shocked and frustrated that when they had the audacity to ask me to pay, I did--plus a 20% tip, purely out of disbelief...To fix their mess, I had to go to Holly at The Velvet, who was absolutely amazing. She took photos of my hair, told me she would never have charged me if this had happened in her studio, and even encouraged me to take the issue up with the owner. But after experiencing the salon's attitude, I couldn't bring myself to deal with them again. This was the worst hair bleach of my life, and I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone looking for professional, honest service. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles them matters. They chose to lie rather than take responsibility, and for that reason, I'll never go back. read more

I recently got my hair done by Alayna at Evolve. She did an awesome job on my hair when I scheduled an appointment to go red back in may. I made another appointment to redo the red after it had faded a few weeks later. She did an awesome job on the color again and I had also scheduled a haircut that same day. I showed her my inspo pics (which I will attach) and explained that I wanted bangs that I could wear in the middle or style to the side and that I wanted them wispy. During the cut I noticed in the mirror that she had just cut straight across bangs that were pretty thick and too short. I stopped her right away and tried to clarify what I was wanting. I'm thankful that she asked for her boss (Joan, who is also the owner) to help her fix them. Joan did a little bit of thinning out and had added more hair to try and fix the shape. Unfortunately it still looked pretty bad and at that point I just wanted to get their scissors away from my head. I went home that day and just tried to get used to them but I really didn't like how they turned out so I reached out to the salon. I will attach our text messages. Megan and Joan did not seem to be hearing me out in anyway shape or form and provided the worst customer service I've ever experienced. They clearly ignored that I'm unable to make it in for adjustments as I live an hour and a half away which I had stated on the phone before they texted me. I don't find it fair to offer for me to pay for another haircut (although discounted) to correct a mistake 2 of their stylists created after I paid $300 for my hair and I still tipped my initial stylist. I understand they have their policy, but I scheduled my appointment then because it was the only free time I had for the next few weeks as I had other plans and work that isn't super flexible. I'm truly disappointed in the service I received. I would have gone back for more color appointments had my concerns actually been acknowledged and made right. Sorry if the pictures are not in order! I numbered the texts and captioned the before/after & inspo pics read more

Beautiful space and really lovely people. I went in because I had some highlights growing out from a previous/different salon trip and it was looking streaky. Ashley was a total expert and was able to transform my mess of hair into something beautiful using balayage and a fresh trim. On my next trip in I got some "impulse bangs" and she didn't bat an eye and gave me a fabulous cut and I left feeling like a million bucks. The space is cool and chic, with a fantastic view of the mountains. Right in the same area as some great restaurants and shops out there by Ferguson Farm, so perfect opportunity to #treatyoself after getting your hair done. read more

Evolve Hair Design - Before/After! I couldn't be more pleased! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

I had a transformation cut with Lyndsey at Evolve to chop off my long tresses and donate them. Lyndsey had only cut my finicky hair once before but listened to what I was looking for and expertly gave me the look I was hoping for! Not only does my hair look fantastic but she cut it such that it is also low maintenance. Definitely would recommend. The space has so much natural light and provides a relaxing atmosphere as well! P.S. we both wore masks for the entire appointment. Very COVID conscious. read more

Where to begin.. After showing Joan my hair inspiration -- including a video of the cut and photos of the style from a couple angles (before scheduling my appointment and then again at my appointment) and explaining that the reason for my major haircut (shoulder length to a pixie) was to help conceal my androgenic alopecia hair loss... I left with a haircut that couldn't be styled how I'd asked for, was unevenly cut, and made me feel 100x worse about my thinning hair than before. When I expressed my concerns to Joan, her response was to seek out someone local to me to fix it (I live 2.5 hours away, and specifically sought her out because of her confidence to help me). I explained the unevenness and lack of volume I was able to get due to the top's excess length and was met with the blame being put on myself, and blame because of my wavy hair. I live 2.5 hours away and was told if I lived closer then she'd offer to fix it, but again: someone local to me would need to do that instead. I explained that I am so unhappy and feel like the ugliest version of myself with this haircut.. to which she replied that she "stood behind her work" and that she "hopes I can overcome my confidence issue". As someone struggling with alopecia, I found her responses to be thoughtless and hurtful. I requested a refund since she stated that she could do nothing else for me, to which she denied. Now she is not returning messages, has blocked me from contacting her, and I'm left with the worst haircut I have ever had. To say I'm distraught is an understatement. Now I have to spend more money to have someone else fix what she wouldn't. This has been the worst customer service I have ever received. read more

Where to begin! I reached out to evolve in the hopes to fix the extensions I had put in at another salon. I knew my request was a bit unusual as I was preparing to move for a new job and desperately needed my hair FIXED and really was not sure where to turn. I was able to schedule a consultation with Alayna, after I had found her on Instagram and really liked her page, style, and diversity she showcased. She was REALLY knowledgable on what to do, what went wrong, and how I ended up in the desperate position I was in. I learned that the extensions I was given were actually NOT compatible to my hair type, that you can actually get extensions to match hair types, and what extension types actually support grow out. I had gotten them after I was told a million times they would help my hair grow out at the other salon. Turns out they were far too heavy for my hair and were actually starting to pull my hair out and really irritate my scalp. I knew it was bad, but without Alayna it would have been sooo much worse. She helped me to have them removed, gave me great information on how to care for my hair after this damage, and even squeezed me in a day before my move so I could start my new job looking my best. I could not be more thankful!!! She definitely did not have to go to the extent she did to help me, especially since she knew from the start that I was on the verge of moving states away. The only downside is that I finally found a stylist I really loved, felt was genuinely knowledgable, and did great work right as I am about to move. GO SEE THIS GIRL SHE ROCKS & IS SUPER CUTE! read more

Terrible experience. Saw Lindsey and asked for the most basic straight sleek cut and style but left with greasy choppy/blunt pieces of unblended hair. The biggest issue was not owning up to it. She rushed me out because next client had shown up knowing she did a horrible job. Didn't receive thorough wash, too much product was used, nothing sleek about the cut. Owner offered to "adjust" at a time convenient for her but at this point I've lost faith and won't allow anymore hair cut off. The arrangement of childcare just to make it there is also a problem for me. My mistake was not saying something then and there... I've always struggled with that and never want to embarrass a stylist or draw attention from other clients. I even tipped 20% ‍ They have such a good rating too and Lyndsey is suppose to be like 2nd best stylist but I've never had a worse cut, style, or customer service. I asked for refund but owner says it's not their policy. I guess mediocre service is though. I'll dispute anyway but disappointed it had to come to that. Including photos. First is the example I showed. This is what my hair is suppose to look like when straightened and cut properly next is the mess I left with. Look at those ends. Awful. read more
