This review is for the amazing Lauren! I'd been wanting to go icy blonde for so long, and let me tell you: I've gotten there! And it's all because of Lauren! She's super kind and she really cares about keeping your hair healthy! She also is very informative about hair color and honestly gave me the best advice on which color to go towards. I love that I've finally found my hairstylist!!! read more

I've been going to Rachel for years and absolutely love her. I recently went back to her at Evolutions salon and I love it here. Rachel in particular has consistently given me exactly what I have requested. My hair has actually become healthier over time. The salon is very organized and the staff was super friendly and inviting. great experience. read more

Mandy is the best. She has done my color multiple times and it always comes out beautifully. AND her bang cutting skills are unparalleled. She communicated to me throughout the whole experience making sure everything turned out better than ever! Super friendly, super knowledgeable, highly recommend read more

Very disappointed with my haircut. 10 min haircut for $75.00. Nothing special about it. I got charge way to much from my original estimate. I got a consultation prior to my service and I was very specific to what I wanted and I was charged $100 more from the original estimate. I have broken pieces through my hair from the bleach that my stylist overlapped from his previous work. Every time I came for the same service I was charged more each visit. I will not comeback. I'm very sad because my hair is long but now I have to deal with the broken pieces read more

The is a review for Vanessa. I have been good to her for over a year now and couldn't be happier. I used to bounce around from stylist to stylist because I never really found one I vibed with. When I referred to Vanessa from a close friend, it was an instant connection and felt like I have known her for years. For me she has colored, cut, and bayalaged my hair and every single time I have left her chair a satisfied customer. I have recommended a couple friends that are now her clients and happy they made the switch. She gives the best head massage and an easy person to chat with. I won't go to anyone else! Thanks Vanessa!! read more

I'm moving away from the west coast soon and Denise will be one of those irreplaceable people. She is an amazing stylist and consistently cuts with care and precision. Time and again, she has creatively helped me make a bob cut my own style. Denise is so professional striking such a great balance between being personable without invasive, as we visit while she cuts and styles my hair. If you have short hair or a bob-styled hair, you can't go wrong with Evolutions salon, and schedule with Denise! Lastly, Evolutions was consistently gracious with helping me find appointment times with Denise. I was traveling for several months and they we very accommodating, and always professional with scheduling and at the reception desk. Thank you!! read more

Updating because it's been a hot minute. But I still get my hair done here, I still see Lilly, and she still is magical! She is so good with working with textured hair and listening to my concerns about formulas and cuts. I 100% would recommend her to anyone! They are also doing a solid job staying Covid safe now that they have reopened again. read more

I trust Vanessa to do my color and cut. I've been seeing her for years and she's never let me down. We change my style a lot and it's always what I ask for! She is also talented in doing "alternative hair styles" if that's what you like. Both my daughters now see her. read more

This is a great place to get a haircut, but make sure you're connected with the right stylist. I frequented this shop for a while because I really liked how one stylist handled my hair. She was attentive, gentle and offered great suggestions. During my most recent visit, I met with a new stylist because the one I saw before moved to a different shop. This other stylist scraped my scalp with a comb several times, and I needed several days to recover afterwards. Bottom line - this is a great shop, but make sure that you find the right person on the ES team to handle your hair. read more

I love this salon! I'm new to the area and have been looking for a place to get my hair done. I was expecting it to be $60+ for a haircut but mine (done by one of the junior stylists) was only $50. Lia was super nice and friendly. She did an awesome job styling my hair. I got more compliments than I've ever gotten after a simple trim/cut. Will definitely be going back! read more

I returned to this salon after a year from my initial visit which was just a hair cut. I was attended to by Lily and she was so great and a pleasure to talk to and so I made sure to keep her card for when I was ready to come back. Now I came to get a balayage ombré type and I knew I wanted something but wasn't so sure about what exactly but she did a great job by helping me find what best suited me by showing me options on an iPad. I was at the salon for about 4 hours for a cut and color but was being attended to the whole time and offered beverages (coffee, tea, water) so I didn't feel to bothered by the time. As I mentioned before lily was great to talk to and I can definitely see she is a skilled hairstylist. I definitely look forward to my future visits with her and l would no doubt recommend Lily for your next visit. read more

I've been going to Evolutions salon for about three years now and Audrey is the only one trust to do my highlights. This time I went in for a root touch up because my highlights were way past due as well as a hair cut since I've been wanting layers and wanted to try something new. I told her the look I was going for and she knew exactly what I wanted and did just that. She also made sure to tone my hair exactly the same as before since I loved the color and made sure to minimize where she was adding bleach so my hair wouldn't get damaged. She's always very careful and meticulous and knows exactly what she's doing so I've never had to worry. I absolutely love how it turned out and she makes great conversation so I always look forward to coming in to see her. Always recommend! read more

Jonathan is my stylist and although I might be a little bias because I work with his mom, I can't say enough about my experience. Jonathan is extremely caring towards his clients always thoughtful listening to their wants and needs giving the best professional advice on color, cut and maintenance. I always leave happy! On top of that Jonathan speaks highly of the owner who is present working with his own clients. It just seems like a great team that's supported by a great manager. This salon has now become a family affair with my mom who's booked her first appt and my daughter is next. I will say just make appts. early Jonathan is loved and gets booked up. A very big thank you to Evolution for making me feel welcomed and well cared for!! read more

Alana gave me a excellent haircut today!! I am so grateful... I I am a hairdresser so I am very picky. I got lots of compliments on my cut. Will go back to see her often. She is very cool and on the edge of all things Hip and trendy! read more

I was a bit hesitant to write a review for this salon because I didn't want my favorite hairstylist to be too popular and too hard to get an appointment with. But I have to put my selfishness aside and give her credit that she deserves... Last week I had my 2nd haircut with Lauren. Oh my goodness, it was such a fantastic experience, again, I wanted to scream I LOVE her remarkable talent, solid skill set as well as her lovely personality!!! She always asks me right questions, many right questions to better understand what I really want, and easily exceeds my expectations. I'm such a lazy, picky person who wants a hairstyle that requires almost no maintenance but still looks so good. But Lauren always perfectly delivers! How does she do it?? I have no idea. It's magic. It's her talent and I absolutely admire her. Also she's such an amazing person with a great sense of humor who I enjoy so much talking to! Thank you soooo much Lauren, I'll see you soon again! :) read more

I've been going here for years and have home through many hair colors and lengths with Vanessa! She's so attentive and kind and always a joy to talk to! She always makes sure the color I'm going for is the right hue, and she loves doing exciting colors like blue and pink and purple, and she does a great job at keeping the color as close to the references you supply as she can, which can be a toss up when it comes to pastel colors at other salons. I will always recommend her, and this salon in general, to anyone read more

I love my new hairstyle! Mandy was amazing and very patient. She gave me tips on how to keep my hair the way it is, and help me figure out how to keep my bangs the way they are. I am totally going to come back and get my bangs retouched by Mandy! She came from nothing, and her work turned out amazing! I hope she does not leave this place, and if she does then I hope she grows more! Awesome Job Mandy! read more

Came in today on a very last min appointment (but they squeezed me in!) and had my haircut and highlights with Mandy. I am very happy with how my hair turns out! It actually looks absolutely WONDERFUL and more than i could ever ask for! I came in with really long hair, just a bit above my waist, and pretty natural curls in my hair. It's my first time having my hair so long, and I'm also long overdue for a haircut. Even so, I'm still nervous about cutting it short, but i thought why not, short and chic hair is so in right now. I talked to Mandy briefly about what I envision, and showed her like 2 pictures. (all white girl pictures, I'm asian with my hair in its natural very dark color). And Mandy absolutely delivered what I wanted! So happy! Also price is very good here. I'll be coming back for future haircuts :) read more

My usual hairdresser was booked for two weeks and I had drunkenly let my friend die my hair "lavender" which came out bright neon purple. I called and asked if anyone could take me and how soon, the very nice receptionist told me I could come in as soon as possible! Which was great! When I get there and met the hairdresser Melissa, she was extremely rude and immediately started telling me how much money it was going to cost me to fix my hair. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm broke, and I felt extremely judged. She was very rude and sarcastic. I was still nice because obviously I needed my hair to be fixed, but the service was horrible. I'm paying for my hair to be fixed and not the opinion or sarcastic comments about why I'd let my friend die my hair, I get it. Overall, Melissa did actually do a great job in fixing my hair though. I'd work on customer service but skill set is 100. It was annoying but she knew what she was doing and I love my hair. I have mixed feelings about her though. read more

I love this salon! Christina is my go to. I don't trust anyone else. She's polite, very sweet, and always answers any of my questions. Anything I want she's able to do for me :) whether it's haircuts or experimenting with colors, I always enjoy the outcome. Thank you!! read more

I've been coming to Evolutions Salon for the past year. I am so glad I found this trendy salon in Pasadena, CA. Jesse B. did my hair and she was amazing from start to end. In the beginning, she asked me exactly what I was looking to do with my hair. I showed her a few pictures and I already knew I was in good hands. Jesse darkened my roots so when it grew out it wouldn't be so drastic when my hair grew out, and proceeded onto a Bayalage -- for a blonder look. Overall, my 5 hour hair experience was fabulous. It was like hanging out with Jessie, and most importantly, I completed trusted her with my hair. Honestly, my hair looks amazing! Jesse put in a lot of work to lift my ends. She also recommended the Olaplex hair treatment and Matrix's purple shampoo that will keep my hair strong. I can't wait to come back to Evolutions Salon for retouchs and more Bleaching/ Bayalage later. Oh, they also serve complimentary champagne, wine and coffee. Thank you. I would highly recommend my family, friends and others to get their hair done by Jessie B. read more

So the salon I would normally go to closed down during covid, which is unfortunate for me because almost nobody cuts my hair the way I like. I've seen two different people who cut my hair since then, and I was unhappy with the results. I absolutely hate any kind of layers cut in the length of my hair because it takes longer to style and I'm never happy with how it looks. I decided to try this salon and I'm so glad I did. I was able to get an appointment within two days where other salons had at least a week long wait. Today, I had my hair cut by Audrey. She's super friendly and sweet. She asked me what kind of cut I wanted, so I explained what I wanted and how I normally style my hair. I also found a picture similar to how I normally style it. I'm not the sort of person who likes to take pictures of myself, so I never have a good picture of my hair. Audrey knew exactly what I was asking for though. She double checked how short I wanted my hair cut and got started. Overall, I'm absolutely thrilled with how my hair turned out, and I found a great replacement salon. I will definitely be back to see Audrey for my next cut. read more

Found my hair spot. A previous hair salon badly botched my hair and I came here for a color correction. This experience was beyond five stars. Mandy was amazing and explained everything to me. She managed to salvage my hair. I will be back. read more

Vanessa's the best. She's been cutting my hair the last 2 years. I specifically selected her because she's had Toni & Guy training. She knows exactly what I like. Because she's in touch with celebrity hair styles, she pulled up Lauren Conrad's hairstyle after I described to her the look I was after - which is exactly what I wanted! Her personality is warm and fun. I always look forward to having her cut my hair and "hanging out" - chatting about our lives and current affairs! read more

This was my first time visiting Evolutions Salon and I absolutely loved my experience! Sunny did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I asked for. She was patient and very sweet. My hair is now healthier and better than ever because of her. read more

I can't recommend Alana enough! She worked with me to turn my yellow blonde highlights into a much cooler balayage. Her expertise was apparent from the first consultation onward and I'm in awe of how well she visualized the final product from the get-go. She was upfront with me about pricing before I even booked the full appointment, which is very much appreciated. Her services and genuine conversation are entirely worth it. I'm so in love with my hair and plan to return to her the second I need anything done. Thank you so so much Alana! read more

I've been coming to Evolutions Salon and getting a cut with Melissa for the past 2.5 years. She has really been the only person who I trust completely with my hair - every time I come in she remembers what I normally get done, and asks with me to confirm. Our conversations are always hilarious, and I genuinely look forward to haircut every other month! It is a bit pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for - I've gone to some other cheaper places, but they always seem to mess something up, not get it exactly right, or provide a poor experience. You are 100% safe when you come to Evolutions. read more

Worst haircut ever with the owner. I asked for long layers and ended up leaving with the most choppy and unblended hair. It looks like I have two shelves on my head with how unblended these layers are. Still ended up tipping because I felt bad but will not recommend this place. I ended up having to go to another salon to get it fixed but I am hoping it grows out soon. read more

I still go here to get my hair cut but since Lia left the salon I now get my haircut with Mandy. She is a wonderful person, very talkative and kind. She let's you know what she will do in every step of the way so that you know what it happening and you agree with it. A+++ haircuts by Mandy! read more

Came in last minute and Lauren took me! I can't say enough great things about her. She asked me so many questions about my preferences and was genuinely so excited about helping me choose a style down to the t. She was so great about taking my vision and adding her own spin to it so that it best suited me. Finally found the perfect stylist and am so happy about it!! read more

I found the salon on Yelp, and I chose Will French based on the photographs of other blondes I saw. The colors looked beautiful and it was that cool ashy tone all the pretty girls are wearing. When I called, they put him on the phone, since all I know is, "I want what I saw on the pictures" lol!He was very professional and asked..... actually, I don't remember what he asked, but I told him I want the pretty blonde hair, that I have a ton of hair, and that I can come in on his first available opening. He took me in that Saturday (today) I received a confirmation call yesterday which is always great. I always like that because that way we're both certain about the date and time. Today I arrived to the salon. Nice, roomy, lively but not overwhelming or crowded. Pretty view of Green street too. I got lucky and found parking in front. I was told there's parking around the corner but I don't know where. I rather get dropped off next time. Parking hunting is NOT my thing . Will is kind and listens to what you want. I said, " just make me beautiful" His previous work speaks for itself! The products they use smell incredible. He didn't really get in there when shampooing but it was thorough and didn't leave product on my scalp. He kept asking me if I was ok with the water temp, the brushing, my drink (I got a nice glass of wine) He checked on me often as did everyone else. I LOVE that he doesn't mess up my makeup when coloring or washing my head!!! Thank gad someone knows not to erase my eyebrows!!! I can't believe his prices, I mean you get a lot for your money!! He foiled my ENTIRE head and gave me a conditioning treatment and trimmed the ends, then put that stuff at the end to give it that sexy ashy color. (Sorry I don't know the proper name) Finally, he dried and styled my hair! Supper happy with my hair. I love that he just knew what to do. Definitely coming back! read more

My first time here with my visit with Mandy. She is really good at what she does! I showed her a picture of what I wanted my balayage hair color to be and it was exactly what I wanted. I told her the length I wanted my hair to be and she got it. I can say I truly trust her and she is an amazing hair stylist. Thank you so much Mandy! read more

Sunny is absolutely amazing. I came in with such bad hair after a failed service at another salon. Not only did she fix the color and give me the most beautiful blonde highlights, she also gave me my favorite haircut I've ever had. Sunny gave me the most beautiful subtle layers, something that I didn't know could even work on my hair type. Sunny is seriously a miracle worker! She will listen to you and help you achieve your dream hair. The best!! read more

I just got back from getting my hair cut from long to a bob at Evolutions (soon to be Coif) Salon. This was one of the best experiences I've had at a salon to date! My appointment was with Denise. She did a great job consulting on my cut. I showed up with about ten pictures and she helped me narrow it down to something professional but still fun and easy to take care of. The shampooing came with a wonderful head massage, and I got a beverage (coffee for me!) during my session. Denise took a little extra time to make my hair look AWESOME! I definitely feel pampered and I love my new look! read more

I loved my hair by William . Omg it was the best haircut I've ever had! And it stayed as beautiful as the day he cut it, for like months and that's surprised me. So sad he left and I hope I can find another good one there because I need a hair cut so bad! read more

I stopped in on the slim chance they would have an availability, not really knowing anything about the salon beyond the Yelp reviews. David was awesome, he squeezed me in before his next client and did amazing job on my hair. I absolutely love it. Athena took over for the blow dry and style, and we went with a cute little 50s kick at the bottom that I adore. Everyone I interacted with was so friendly, and so helpful. Even though I don't live in Pasadena, I will drive back here next time I need my hair fixed. read more

Got a haircut and treatment after 10 months from Mandy. She is so sweet and meticulous, and offers great advice for my hair that needs serious attention and care. I love my haircut from today. Definitely recommend Mandy. The salon was very clean and well sanitized for COVID btw. Felt safe and comfortable getting a haircut. read more

Vanessa is amazing! She is great and she really seems to care for her clients. I book an appointment with her maybe once or twice every year if that and even with the significant time in between appointments she remembers me, my hair and our usual therapy sessions. I definitely recommend her she is was keeps me coming back. read more

This review is for Catalina Huerta. I went to Evolutions Salon for the first time, by referral of a co-worker. I was going on a trip to Houston to meet my Bf's parents for the first time, and wanted to get a nice blowout done so that my hair could withstand the humidity a little bit better than if I were to go all natural with my curls. Cat was awesome! She's so personal, listens to what you want, and delivers. I got so many compliments on my blowout, it looked great, and even lasted in the Texas Humidity better than I anticipated. I have another appointment with Cat for this weekend, as I'm having a little birthday dinner, and can't wait to see how she works her magic on my hair! Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a polished or fun/trendy style. Thanks Cat! read more
