I was downtown on a Sunday and saw Evoke was open. I went in to make an appointment for a haircut and Victor said he had time. He did a beautiful cut and style on my thin hair I got 3 compliments that day Lovely place. Thank you Victor. read more

I go to Victor normally for my haircuts regular and I care for my hair and appearance. Normally I go with my mom. When he cuts my hair, I tell him to cut one length and he'll go way shorter than I ask. He also doesn't acknowledge his mistakes often saying things like go to another stylist or add a bad review. This has also been very consistent. This happens all the time where he doesn't respect what I want to do with my hair and keeps going with his ways. read more

Tried booking online for haircut but unable to checkin, and walked-in straight. Victor was nice to checkin for me, although there was no one in line, he was able to get the appointment and do haircut. One of my friend suggested this place and definitely love it, Victor is very nice to suggest what looks good and how to maintain etc. Coming back again for sure! read more

I highly recommend Niloo. I had a shampoo, cut, and blowout and she did a fantastic job! She took her time and added some layers to my thick hair and now it has movement and isn't so weighed down. I feel like I have an actual hairstyle for the first time in so long. read more

Cady was the sweetest! I asked for long layers and face framing pieces and she did an amazing job, better than I couldve imagined! 10/10 recommend best haircut i've gotten and she was so kind :) read more

Before & After! Viktor did an amazing job! I asked him to get my hair to its natural color to add depth but keep the same caramel-beige tones for the highlights. He did exactly what I wanted and my hair feels so healthy and amazing now-Thank you Viktor! I will be back in a few months for my highlights to be retouched! read more

Excellent haircut and keratin treatment. Respected my time constraints and explained every step of the process to keep me comfortable. Reasonably priced. Definitely recommend. read more

One of the worst haircuts I've gotten. They recommended Victor for a men's middle part haircut. I asked for ear length trim for the top and he cut way too short. Over 1inch above the ear. The haircut itself was around 10 min very rushed. I left with what looks like a Karen haircut. Extra long in the front and goes short to the back. Never coming here again. Definitely not worth $40. read more

Been here twice now for a women's haircut trim. The stylist really listens to what I want and gets it right every time. Prices are fair, the cut always looks great and exactly how I pictured it. Definitely my go-to place for a reliable, good haircut. read more

I needed a haircut desperately and my usual Salon couldn't book me for 2 weeks. I wanted my long hair to be cut to very short. There would be no way to fix it if it didn't go right, so it was important to have a seasoned hair artist. I am glad I gave Evoke a try. They did an amazing job at cutting short layers with minimal instructions. I showed the hair artist the pic and it came out exactly like the pic. This will be my go to Salon going forward. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! The haircut was perfect, and the service was amazing. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel so comfortable. Highly recommend- I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Evoke Beauty Salon - My boi viktor did a great job with this fade - Hair Salons Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I had a great experience the last time I got a haircut here, but unfortunately, this time was a disappointment. Even though I specifically asked for just a light trim, Victor ended up cutting off nearly an inch. My hair now feels more damaged than it did before I walked in. On top of that, he dried my hair very aggressively and didn't use any heat protection, which only worsened the damage. I was hoping for the same quality I got last time, but sadly, this visit didn't meet my expectations. It was $75 for the haircut and I tipped $15. I was hoping after washing it my hair would "get better". It has not. I've been growing out my hair for my wedding. I've been very gentle with it. I don't use any head styling whatsoever. This is a complete disappointment. Maybe he was having a bad day? Or something else was going on? Idk. All I do know is how unhappy I look and feel now because of my hair. read more

Victor did an amazing job with the haircuts for both my husband and me. He matched the reference photos perfectly and delivered exactly what we wanted. Great work! read more

I have been coming here on and off for a few years, and Niloo is amazing. She has a great memory and she remembers our conversations. My haircuts are usually very good and close to what I ask for. A couple of months ago Niloo was out and I had my haircut done by Viktor. It turned out to be the best layered cut I have ever had. He is very skilled. I have had great experiences with both, and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Amazing hair cut and highlights!! Victor does the highest quality work! The color is just right not too dark or light and the length is awesome. Thank you! read more

I am not sure how this place has good reviews. Like a previous Yelper commented they did not cut my hair right. It looks like someone chopped it with an axe. Their hair washing stations are also not very comfortable. My hairstylist spent more time blow drying my hair rather than cutting my hair neatly. read more

I have thick, long, wavy hair. It is really hard to find someone who REALLY knows how to cut it. I have been in the Bay Area for almost 8 years and have never had a stylist so completely "get" exactly what I wanted and what my hair needed. TODAY WAS THE DAY! He NAILED it! Thanks so much, Victor!!!! Thick, wavy-haired person approved! read more

I have never written a negative Yelp review before, I truly think people do their best, but it's been almost a week and it's so bad, I had to. I chose this Salon because they had a ton of openings and they got good Yelp reviews. The experience was awful - she was quite aggressive, spilled a lot of water down my shirt when washing my hair, her movements were rough - often poking fingers in my ears, but I could have lived with it if the haircut was good. Additionally, she styled my hair so horribly when I left that I thought maybe the haircut was good, but the style was bad. Unfortunately after I washed it, I learned it was the cut.  I had asked for a trim and some long layers. She cut what looked like 2 separate haircuts. It did not blend together at all. She cut CHUNKS out of my hair! I had holes of hair and then I had random long pieces coming out from underneath short pieces with no rhyme or reason. These photos barely capture the horror although you can see how bad it is.  I would have understood if it had been a good haircut, just not one I liked, but this destroyed my hair.  She charged me $85 for this and I then had to go spend a lot more to get someone to fix it. I hope Evoke refunds me. read more

It is funny. I was here four years ago with my wife and I loved the lady that did our hair so much we joked around of moving from LA to San Jose just for this salon. Niloo is the best and we happened to be in San Jose after four years and went to her again to cut our hair. To our amazement she recognized us and made us feel welcome. Again we got amazing hair cuts and are very happy. Thank you Niloo. read more

Booked it online, just picked whoever was available in the time frame. Stylist then texted me to say they were running late, I said that was okay as I was struggling to find parking. Then stylist arrived 20 min after appt, but I wasn't worried as I was not in a rush. The salon only had one other stylist and customer at the time, it was mid morning on a weekday. But then I had the most bizaare haircut experience I've probably ever had. I tried to convey the need for a basic trim to remove dead ends and a request to please frame the cut in the front so the hair doesn't look just chopped off. (My hair is thick so it looks terrible if not done correctly). I braid my hair mostly these days, so it was still slightly wavy from that. He then proceeded to cut my hair dry with lots of flourishes, which was confusing because I'd never had anyone cut my hair dry and have it still turn out okay. I tried to trust the process as he seemed insistent it would work. Then he had me walk over to get my hair washed after only 10 or so minutes of cutting and another lady did all the washing and most of the drying. The stylist spent that time on the phone outside the salon, I assumed he was dealing with something. Then he came back in and finished the last few minutes of the drying and that was it. All that for $70. I suppose that's still a good price for this area with my amount of hair, but the haircut of course looked terrible and uneven the day after. It is good at least that I can hide it with my braids until I go back to my old stylist in WA state when I visit my folks. It was not busy in the salon but he still could not do the whole haircut process? And then only did about 10 minutes, while it was dry? That method doesn't work for my hair. Sad to say, I do not know if I just caught this guy on a particularly rough day, but I will not be returning. read more

This was my second visit to Evoke and Cady was my hairstylist. I came in for partial highlights - I had gotten highlights done for the first time with Candy as well and really liked the combination she chose for me! For the partial highlights, it was a bit lighter than expected but I am liking the color so far! It will take me a while to get used to, but I'm optimistic till now! Cady was very friendly and did a good job on haircut as well! read more

I would actually give 0 stars. I didn't want to give bad review because Cady was friendly but the service provided for the amount charged was not good. THEY LEFT COLOR ON MY EYEBROWS. Picture attached 1) I was charged $400 for highlights/blowdry and deep conditioning. Attaching the picture not really sure whether these are highlights or color. 2) I asked to cover grey hair, they are not covered . 3) Their website say $50 for deep conditioning, I was charged $80 4) their website say $50 for blowout , I was charged $100 read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars - I got my haircut here for the first time. There were some things that could be improved on, but it was a pretty good experience. Here's what I thought: Stylist: Cady was nice and seemed very confident in her hair styling skills (been in the business for 55 years). I think there was a lack in finesse since my shirt got wet during the hair wash. Instead of clipping my hair to cut other areas, it was flipped back and forth, so my hair was always in my face. Cady seems always proud of her work and took pictures after (of my hair and the lady before me). Haircut: I think it turned out nice, but felt a little rushed. My hair wasn't fully dried when I left. The price for a haircut online was $55 and up, but I was charged $80. I was a little surprised, but I do have a lot of hair, so I figured I would have some up charge. Essence salon in Mountain View charges about the same ($80) but has a bit more finesse and ambiance in the salon. My haircut was a little choppier than anticipated, but it's growing on me, so there's that. :) COVID precautions: It seemed a little lax. Everyone wore masks, but I noticed the receptionist took it off for some time to talk on the phone. They also pointed everyone to the same chair to wait (which I'm not sure was wiped down between seatings). Overall: I think it was a pretty good experience - rounding up because we're in hard times. I really needed a haircut and Evoke was able to take me on the same day. I might stick to my regular stylist, but am still happy that I gave this place a chance. read more

Victor cut hair very well and gave me nice layers! I really liked how precise his haircuts are.

Victor was great! Will be back and would definitely recommend him for a nice men's cut.

Worst customer service ever. Not only was I lies to about my reservation. But I wasn't even given what I asked for. I wanted a simple trim and I ended up losing half of my hair. The ladies that ran the salon barely spoke to me and only communicate amongst them selves in their language. I felt very uncomfortable and not heard at all. Worst part was that at the end of my appointments, I was told that my cancellation through ClassPass was invalid and I was forced to pay for my terrible haircut. I wish the salon would've had better communication, because I went in blindly. I would've never paid for this if I would have known. They made me get on the phone with the owner after my appointment for to tell me that I was wrong about my prior reservation. Every single lady in that salon started attacking me and telling me that it was my fault, because I didn't ask about my reservation. I got there early to make sure that everything was taken care of and not once was the ClassPass reservation cancellation mentioned. I am very upset about the service, the customer service, and the way this was all handled Please don't waste your time and money, I spent $70 not including tip for the worst haircut I've ever had in my life read more
