I have been getting my hair done with Krista for over 20 years. She is always so attentive, flexible, and honest. Attentive in making sure to ask what the problems are with my hair or if there's something I don't like. Flexible when I decide I want a different color or I just want the same style as usual. Honest when she tells me this won't work or that I am washing my hair too much. She always texts me after to make sure I like my hair (even though I've never hated it). No matter what salon she is at, I follow her. But Evolve is by far the cutest, most comfortable salon she has been at. Can't wait for you to go see her! read more

I've been seeing Brenda for about a year now and I am beyond happy with my hair care and overall care that I receive from her at Evolve Salon. I had originally gone in to transform from years of darker hair to a blonder look. My expectations were exceeded and I could not be more happy! She truly does a wonderful job and really absorbs all that I want and puts it into effect. Not only is Brenda lovely, but the salon is too. Such a clean and cute vibe, I just love getting pampered in there! 10/10 recommend! read more

I went to a different salon and got my hair colored months ago. Lots of time had passed and it was looking awful. I decided to go to Krista at Evolve Salon and have her do her magic, and YES SHE DID! She figured out exactly what I needed and went to town. She made me feel very comfortable in the chair and explained everything she wanted to do. I wasn't worried at all after she ease my worry. She did a balayage and highlight and got rid of some awful red that was hiding. I can not express enough how happy I am about my hair. Do not hesitate and book with her!!! Thank you Krista for being a hair wizard and doing magic with my locks!!! read more

Got a blow out by Analise! I loved my hair, it was very simple and beautiful just what I wanted. She was so sweet and kind!! I will definitely be coming back to her. I also loved how she texted me a week before my appointment to confirm and ask what I wanted or what I was looking for! I've never had someone reach out to me before a hair appointment so this was very much appreciated! I loved it here! read more

I LOVE my hair extensions by Melonie and am looking forward to being a long-term client for many years to come! My hair is very fine, hard to grow and can be damaged easily. Most hair extension methods aren't very healthy for it. I was so excited and relieved to find Melonie. She is experienced and has a broad knowledge of the various extension types and their pros and cons. She took a look at my hair and recommended what she thought was best. We ordered hair and set an appointment for the installation a week later. On Monday she did my install. She is a detailed craftsman. I couldn't be happier! At the end she told me what I could do to maintain the color and health. I moved here a year ago but kept returning to Chicago for my hair appointments because I couldn't find anyone that I trusted to do my extensions. I'm so pleased to have finally found Melonie. She is honest, knowledgeable and a craftsman. read more

Evolve Salon - Curled hair by Krista P! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

My review is for Maria. I booked a partial highlight through the yelp online booking tool for $95. When I got to the salon Maria was very friendly and saw me only a little later than the appointment time. During the middle of our session, she noticed that my hair wasn't lightening as much as she thought it would. She tried to add more color to lighten it up, but it still came out darker than expected. She then charged me $150 (the normal price for the highlight and lowlight) although my appointment was only for the $95 highlight. Instead of trying to make it right she charged me more and didn't offer to fix it. She also didn't get down to the roots - a huge pet peeve of mine. Overall I was really disappointed with the quality of the service here, and felt like Maria took advantage of me and my lack of hair knowledge. read more

Evolve Salon - You can see where I got highlights before. Obviously she did not go as light as I desired. - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

After my hair grew long and unruly during this COVID-19 pandemic, I received a men's haircut from Caitlin who did an absolutely amazing job. The salon takes every precaution to make sure that you, as a customer, are safe! Everyone wears masks, and there are, at most, three stylists in the salon at a time, each with their own room. I will say that my hair is extremely thick and frustratingly stubborn compared to most guys, but Caitlin was able to tame it really well! She pays close attention to detail and makes sure that I am satisfied every step of the way. She also recommended a few products to try out at home to address my hard hair problem. In the end, I received a nice slick fade with some length in the front to style however I choose depending on the day. If you are looking for a men's stylist or just have shorter hair in general, Caitlin is the go-to! read more

I am so beyond happy I decided to get my hair done by Caitlin!! I got a balayage and lowlights/highlights (I'm pretty sure), and a cut. My hair was super yellow and brassy when I showered up and I told her I really wanted it gone, and she did an amazing job. I am so pleased with her service! read more

loved my experience with Brenda Burns! She's not just a stylist, she's a true friend & hair artist. Brenda took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, I'm so happy with my hair. I recommend Brenda if you want to look and feel fantastic! read more

I absolutely love my extensions by Analise, she's amazing as well as being super friendly and so lovely! When I first went to see her she took the time to chat through what I was hoping for as well as being really clear in explaining ongoing maintenance etc, so as someone who had never had extensions before I felt in very safe hands! She's fabulous, I heartily recommend Analise! read more

From the first time I met Brenda, I knew I found an amazing stylist and a wonderful salon. Evolve is tucked away on a charming street in Los Gatos just off downtown and it has a very welcoming feel every time I step inside. Brenda is very talented, charming and I am extremely fortunate that she cuts my hair-- I look forward to our appointments and know that my experience with Brenda and the other staff will make me feel welcome. And I'll walk out with a great haircut after all of the pampering! read more

TDLR: book your balayage/baby lights with Auriyana! IG:beautybyauriyana ladies let me tell you!! I saw Auriyana last year when she was still a student and I was sooo happy with my hair that I came back for round 2 now that she's a full on stylist! I drove all the way from SF so you know I'm serious about her work!! if that's not loyalty then iono what is LOL. Anyways, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and explained how I'd like a lot of dimensions, darker roots, and face framing highlights. as expected, she totally nailed it! Really sweet, communicative, and does quality work! She always fixes my "I'm bored, let's add some fun colors to my hair" hair without any judgement or attitude Book her in advance bc she does fill up quick! read more

Evolve Salon is a cut above the rest! Whenever I go and see my stylist Brenda Burns she always delivers, and gives me an amazing cut. I like to change up my hairstyle often, keeping it fresh and original, but I also don't know what I really want half the time. Brenda always has fantastic ideas for me, and helps me find the style I'm looking for. The experience is always a pleasure, and I always feel like im looking great when she's finished. I would highly recommend Evolve Salon's Brenda Burns for anyone looking to upgrade their style! read more

I scheduled a consultation because I just wasn't happy with the color job I got with a previous stylist and saw the owner Katlyn L had done a color that was exactly what I was looking for! I had asked for a dark brown color but got blonde instead so she was in for a big correction! Katlyn was so confident in our consultation and had an appointment open for me less than a week from my consultation which was so great. I was a little nervous at first but holy crap, she nailed it! The process was so quick and Katlyn just oozes this sweet confidence that makes you feel like you're in great hands thank you for fixing my hair!! Highly highly recommend!! read more

This was my first visit at Evolve Salon and I can confidently say that I've found my new go to hair salon as well as my new go to gal: AURIYANA. I got my hair done before quarantine (back in February) and was not 100% satisfied with my experience. And since it had been a while, my hair was super brassy and had that black hole look lol! Fast forward to now, I saw a friend of mine get her hair done and she had tagged Auriyana's hair page on Instagram. I went on it and omggg, I fell in love. Her work is SO good, and that's just from looking at the pictures alone. So of course at this point, I HAD to book with her. I made an appointment for a balayage on a Monday afternoon. Prior to my appointment, Auriyana had contacted me via text and asked for inspo pics/a current pic of what my hair looked like. On the day of my appointment, Auriyana had texted me earlier in the day asking if we could push my appointment back an hour since she was running a bit behind with her client before me. I didn't mind at all since I had nothing to do that day. The salon was easy to find and there was plenty of parking in the back parking lot. The salon is also super clean! Everyone wore masks, I saw hand sanitizers on the table, and the hairstylists cleaned their work area between clients. My appointment ended up lasting about 5 hours (I have a lot of hair lol!) but it honestly went by so fast because Auriyana is so relatable and easy to talk to. She's so kind! She also made her to ask me if I still wanted to go with my inspo look (which I appreciate bc im so indecisive sometimes!) as well as ask if i had any questions for her before she started on my hair. If it wasn't obvious already, I absolutely LOVEEE how my hair turned out! Can we please take a look at the before picture? SHE DID THAT. Thank you so much Auriyana for being my new hair kween! If you want to book with her: @beautybyauriyana on IG. All her info should be in her bio! I'm so happy to have stumbled upon Evolve Salon! Everyone is so nice, bubbly, and makes you feel welcomed. See you again in 2-3 months! read more

My stylist at Evolve Salon in Los Gatos is Brenda Burns. Brenda has been cutting my hair for a couple of years now, and she is just great. Not only does she know how to cut and style my naturally wavy, shoulder length hair in a current and hip way, but she also is happy to teach me how to do it myself at home. Brenda is personable and interested in her clients. I always look forward to my appointments as it's like going to spend time with a friend. Brenda offers an un-rushed, personalized service while being truly talented at cutting and styling hair. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

If I had to choose who can do my hair forever, I would choose Shayla! Made my dreams of having blue hair come true and it came out 10x more beautiful than I imagined. Truly amazing at what she does and I couldn't have asked for a better hair stylist! So nice and accommodating. She also understood me when I tried to explain the color I wanted which makes communicating so much easier! Love her work! read more

I remember when I moved from Seattle to Cali, finally ready to move from the rain into what I thought would be eternal sunshine with hair to match, when I heard what no one EVER want to hear from their hairstylist: "You know, a lot of my clients fly back to Seattle, because they just can't get that California blonde in California." Say what?! Here is the sad truth: she was not wrong. I have had so many hair blahs the whole time that I have lived here, and it has almost gotten me to give up on my hair. I am not even going to get into the rudeness of so-called "master stylists" who would start me off with what they could NOT do with my hair, or the number of times I was bent over the bathroom sink trying to purple shampoo the traffic cone color out of my hair. AND I AM A NATURAL BLONDE. Enter Sienna. Through my sister's work recommendation, I decided to give this young stylist a try, expecting (hoping!) for at least tolerable hair, the kind that won't make me weep when I see myself in the mirror. How to sum up my experience? In two words: Sienna OVERDELIVERS. She listened to me, I felt like we even collaborated on what we would like the results to be. And THEN I showed her a photo of what I was thinking. She said "I got it, let's do this." And then she proceeded to literally gave me the best color of my life. Golden, buttery, bright, GORGEOUS color. As in, my love gasped when he saw me and had to squint from my glow. Psht. There is no go-go-go in this salon, where they slap on highlights that you probably won't want and then hand you off to the next person to rinse, etc. Nope. You get personalized care, in a small, super cute salon, with easy parking. And in Sienna, you get not only a top notch professional, but someone who is careful with her own health and won't unnecessarily risk mine (in these times, that's something that adds another 100 points to her already stacked report card). I actually ended up giving Sienna instructions on how to do my sister's hair, and now she's constantly showing hers off to me! LOVE! Some advice: educate yourself and set realistic expectations on what can be done in in one session. You do need to know some stylist-speak to get the best results. And THEN show a photo to summarize, and not the other way around. Thank you Sienna for bring back some sunshine to my hair and converting me into a Cali blonde! You are the best!!! read more

Analise is the best! She did my tone and I'm obsessed with my hair!!! Highly recommend her and she is so sweet.

Analise is a hair GOD! She is so talented and she has done wonders on my hair. I leave the salon feeling amazing every single time and the color has always turned out how I wanted it to and even months later my hair still looks so good. Not only is Analise an amazing hair stylist she is the sweetest and most kind person. She will make sure to not only brighten your hair but your day as well. It is always a joy to see Analise. Don't think I can ever go to or trust anyone else with my hair. Can't wait for our next session together! read more

Juliann always makes sure that the integrity of my hair comes first. Even when I have the worst idea, she guides me in the right direction.

I cannot wait to see her at her new location in Evolve Salon. read more

Recently came to this salon to get my hair done by Auriyana! She did wonders to my hair .. after I dyed and cut it myself ( which didn't turn out the best) she was able to fix that.

She's the best at balayage, check out her Instagram! @beautybyauriyana - 10/10 recommend. Below are some before and after pics. read more

I highly recommend Juliann! She takes the time to listen to what I want and always makes sure my hair stays healthy in the process. Her knowledge with color always amazes me.

Auriyana is one of the BEST stylists I know, who can really capture the vision that you're looking for. I showed her a picture that I wanted and she went and did even BETTER than what I showed her!

I highly recommend that you book an appointment with her ASAP, because she gets booked fast!!! read more

Okay, I cannot give Analise enough praise. THIS GIRL WORKS WONDERS!! I came to Analise for a toner and she picked out the perfect shade without me having to explain too much about what I wanted. I left sooo happy on my first visit. Not only is she talented and is committed to keeping your hair healthy throughout the process, she's super genuine and sweet. It makes getting my hair done so enjoyable to have such a caring stylist. She later did sew in extensions and I was IN LOVE!! She transformed my hair into full, luscious, rich perfection. Analise literally made my hair dreams come true. I've tried other extension techniques but this is the only one that I actually liked. I would recommend her 11/10. So happy to have found her! read more

I first saw Melonie's microblading/microshading work on my coworker and immediately had to contact her! I have always seeked the perfect arched brow and no artist was ever able to nail it. I've tried threading, wax, tweezing services but still never walked out truly satisfied. This is my first time getting my brows microbladed/shaded and I am so glad I let Melonie do them. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she blew me away with how she got it done! She's a perfectionist! I appreciated that she kept checking in with me every step of the way, making sure there was nothing out of place. I was glad she welcomed me to tell her if I saw anything that looked weird to me so she could fix it. She was not satisfied until I was! When I went into work the next day, EVERYONE was asking me where I got my brows done. They said they looked "perfect!" I have never gotten so many compliments and I have Melonie to thank for that!!! I can't wait for my touch up with her in the next few weeks once my brows have faded to their true color. Other Details: 2-2.5 hour long procedure (includes numbing process, design/mapping, and microblading/shading). Get your brows wax/tweezed/shaped by an eyebrow professional beforehand and let them know you are getting your brows microbladed! Melonie only does the microblading/tattoo. Melonie was helpful explaining the entire process and advised me of the aftercare regimen. But, I'd still recommend doing your research on your own so you know how to take care of your brows and if any changes to your skincare products are needed pre and post procedure. Just contact her! She is such a sweet person and you'll be so happy with the end result! read more

I found Evolve Salon on Instagram and I am so glad I did!! They were so easy to schedule an appointment with. Simply sent a text and I was able to schedule right away. Parking was super easy to find, plenty of it behind the salon. The salon was clean and i felt comfortable the entire time because everyone was wearing masks and it was clear they were taking all precautions due to Covid. I went in because I was in desperate need of maintenance. I was overdue for a haircut and had been struggling to find a good salon with so many shut down. Caitlin B. did an amazing job of assessing my situation. I went in knowing I needed a good trim and color correcting for my very grown out balayage. She was so friendly and kind made the experience all the better. I am so so happy with the outcome. We were able to get a good amount of hair trimmed off to where it looks alive and healthy! Also, matched my natural hair to have a smooth all over color. Thank you for bringing my quarantine hair back to life! :) If you're looking for a new salon, I highly recommend them!! read more
