Katelynn is amazing. She does a beautiful job of coloring my roots and now she cuts my hair. I used to go to her for hair color and my previous hairdresser for a haircut, but when I had my car accident I needed to to be able to go to one place for both, and to a salon that was closer to where I live because I couldn't drive. Katelynn made her schedule work so that I could get a color and haircut. I have curly har but she gives me a blowout and my hair always looks amazing when I leave. The salon is small but comfortable, and I enjoy sitting under the dryer and reading magazines. read more

I recently had an appointment for hair color and cut with Katelynn who I have gone to several times. I really appreciate Katelynn's gentle and nurturing style. She always takes the time to listen to me and find solutions to my myriad of hair issues. She did a another great job with my color/foil and cut! In addition, I love the organic products they use at the salon. I am chemically sensitive, so going here is a lifesaver for me. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a safe and natural alternative to traditional hair salons. read more

Fiscal conservatism (the real kind, not the 21st century Republican kind) had me laying back a bit on swanky salon coddling, so I'd been doing all kinds of chemistry experiments of my own here at home, where people couldn't laugh at me-or if they did, I could take away their XBox. Unfortunately that meant I used a temporary hair dye to turn my hair goth black...apparently forever, because it seems that by "lasts through 18 shampoos" L'Oreal actually meant to say "enjoy the nightlife, Vampira. Good thing you'll live forever, because so will your squid-ink hair." So a few triage self-treatments later and still looking like something you might sweep up from beneath the sofa, I was delighted to see a Groupon filter in for Evolve, which is a mere block from my house. Despite my history of overcommunicating-even bringing photos in to stylists for reference-I rarely find someone who actually delivers (much less intuits) what I ask for. Whether I come in there for dark brown, highlights, or black with orange pieces, somehow I always seem to leave with dishwater brown hair with Bellevue mall-shopper highlights. It's depressing. But I guess I've just learned to expect it. So I wasn't hyper explanatory with Tova; I wasn't even sure what I did want...only that I wanted something much less boring. Now hear this, Seattle: In addition to being a super warm, positive person and (Yelp reviews testify!) an amazing listener, Tova knows what the hell she is doing. Though her sweet Zen guilelessness and her laid-back, tea-serving "cozy living room" salon might belie this fact, Tova's a tiger, and her New York model-circuit years come through in how effortlessly and artistically she colors. She expertly wove blonde and black pieces all throughout my coif (I've uploaded pictures) and I'll be back to have her clean up my crazy layers-formed more by Darwinist "survival of the least processed" methodologies than by anything deliberate like haircuts. I really can't overstate her talent. I've had a long, rocky history with stylists even at the foolishly expensive salons. I once spent $220 at Magnum Opus in Portland to have my hair burnt off. It fell out in clumps and they still collected my payment! So it was crazy to just stumble through the Groupon chute and find The Stylist I've Been Looking For...a block away and for a fair price (not cheap but not crazy; normal price for my color would have been $120). I should also note that she has treats out for her guests--good teas and organic dark chocolate. If you've been feeling like you're speaking !Kung to your hairstylists, or that somehow they're translating everything you say to Oppositelandish, I really recommend giving Tova a shot. From a woman with severe salon whiplash, I'm telling you, she's damn good. read more

See all

I had an appointment with Katelynn E to have layers cut into my newly balayaged hair. It was a great experience and I love the end result. I feel great about myself! The appointment started with a head and neck massage and was a great way to get things started. The salon uses all organic product and it's a very relaxing smell that makes the service that much more enjoyable. Katelynn is super easy to talk with and very attentive to what you want. Also when I didn't know exactly what I wanted about my face framing -- she offered great thoughts and explained the why and I felt good about making the cut decisions. Def recommend this salon! read more

I'm an out-of-towner and needed styling help for a wedding, and I found Evolve down the street from where I was staying. Tova helped me make an appointment with Jeska. Pretty painless - I called and left a message on Monday (they're closed) and I got a call back the next morning. I told Jeska about how my hair usually falls really flat after a few hours of getting it all pretty. I was also really unhappy that my hair was going through an awkward growing-out phase. I gave Jeska creative freedom and she tried different things, asked me if I'd like this and that. The results were wonderful and I'm still getting compliments about my hair. Jeska took my concerns to heart and armed me with enough bobby pins and hairspray (she calls it "hair glue") to survive a zombie apocalypse. On top of all that, it only took 45 minutes, including the "consultancy." read more

Super cute and chic little salon near Roosevelt Square! Welcoming atmosphere with snacks and tea upon arrival. I definitely recommend this salon for both the stylists' talent and prices!

Unfortunate experience. I came as a walk in to have an evaluation on my hair. My hair had been colored and chemically treated 6-7 months prior and I let the stylist know this information before hand. I came in and the suggestion for what I wanted (couple of front gray highlights) and she quoted me a price for a foil which was 95$. Ok sounds good. I came into my appointment 15 minutes late because of lack of parking and the stylist received me with no issues. Below are my main takeaways from this experience. -Stylist seemed overbooked and stressed (Had about 3-4 other customers in the same time period while "keeping an eye on my hair". -The price for the color changed in mid appointment "This is gonna be more of x process now". That was not what was agreed before and I was charged 110$ -Because she was busy, by the time she took off my foils with the bleach, pieces of my hair were coming off with the foils.This was horrifying. -The result was absolutely nothing like what was discussed and she suggested I come back for a cut since she wasn't satisfied but there was no discount offered, even though the result was not only nothing like what I requested but she also burned the ends of the front of my hair to a crisp and I was still charged 110$. I paid because I was too sad/in shock and because I've never gone home crying over a hair process before. Overall its a nice salon with organic products that are probably fine with people with easy, non treated non thick hair. Stylist seems nice enough, if you feel like overpaying for the experience of a nice salon go for it. - read more

I was turned onto Evolve in response to an online coupon deal for a discounted haircut. I instantly felt comfortable with Tova, and loved that I was supporting a local, female-owned, environmentally-aware business! Tova is very easy-going and something about just being in the space makes me relax. She did a great job with my haircut and was able to give my fine hair layers to create volume rather than just a recipe for flyaways or a cut that looks shaggy all of the time (I've experience both problems after cuts from other salons). I went back to her last weekend for an up-do and she did a great job in matching the inspirational images that I provided and incorporating an antique haircomb that I brought in. My up-do lasted all night, and survived a lot of dancing. Also worth noting: I came to the shop for the up-do on a Saturday and for some reason it didn't even occur to me that I'd need to pay for parking. Tova happened to notice a ticket landing on my windshield for the oversight and felt so bad that she gave me a discount on my 'do. (How sweet is that?!) Just goes to show that she really cares about her customers. read more

I followed Michele Tucker here from her previous salon because I totally adore her. I've referred tons of friends to her already and they all love her just as much as I do. I first saw Michele for a cut and color - I knew I was bored with my hair but didn't really know what to do with it aside from just hack it off. Luckily, Michele sat me down and gave me all sorts of suggestions (with photo reference!) for great long styles that wouldn't feel so heavy and boring. When she gently suggested highlights I was skeptical to say the least, but I'm so glad I listened. I love the way they look and my hair still felt completely healthy afterward. Months later, I wanted to do something wild but still keep my hair long and Michele gave me the raddest little side mullet with micro bangs you ever did see. It was not an easy cut to pull of and she managed to make it look super cute whether its down or up in a pony. Magic! As if that weren't enough, Michele is just totally delightful to be around. She is sweet as can be and funny and interesting and all-around wonderful. You'll feel like you're visiting an old friend when you see her. read more

Tova took me from self-dyed black hair to blond highlights with great mastery. This is the first time in many years that I felt both heard and seen with such compassion and insight by a stylist. I walked away feeling like a new woman not only because of the cut and color but because I was pampered and held through the process. I think Tova is equal parts hair stylist and shaman. Whether you want makeover magic or mane maintenance, this is the place to go. Just walk in the door and feel the energy. You'll see what I mean. read more

Full disclosure: I am a lazy yelp-er, as I usually just consume others reviews and never give any in return. Yes, I feel guilty about this lopsided relationship, but I was never entirely motivated until now. That is until recently, when I discovered Michele and her adorable hair salon in Roosevelt. This morning when I glimpsed yet-another-fabulous-hair-day hair in the reflection of a car window, I realized I can't keep Michele a secret. Holy moly, Michele is a miracle woman with hair. I have thick, curly, unruly hair. Until recently, I've always had a hate relationship with the poof, the frizz, the mind-of-its own, uncooperative nature of curls. It is only now in my adult life that I have learned how to embrace / style / wear my hair natural. After spending years finding a stylist who could actually give me a cut that complimented my curls, it was heartbreaking when I moved states and had to start the search anew. I was literally scheduling cuts around my trips back to Colorado after some less-than-inspiring hair cuts in Seattle at other salons. ...and then I found Michele in Seattle. WOW! Michele literally gave me the best hair cut I've ever had. Michele understands curly hair, she gets the look I am trying to achieve, and she pulls it off. She has also helped steer me in the right direction for styling tips, etc., to get the most out of my new do. (Best tip was how to make unwashed hair last another day and look fabulous to boot.) For the first time in my life I can role out of bed WITH CURLY HAIR and my hair just instantly looks "fabulous." No joke. I use very little product and my cut just "air drys" and looks insanely gorgeous. Thank you Michele for making a curly girl proud of her curls. My husband has even changed from preferring me with straight hair to now not getting enough of my curls. Do not hesitate. I may seem a little over-the-top enthusiastic for a reviewer, but honestly, it's simply because I finally love my hair and have Michele to thank. Michele is hands down the BEST curly-hair expert in town. read more

Katelynn gave me a phenomenal razor cut! It was low stress, she really understood what I wanted and she was creative.

I had really long hair down to middle of my back and wanted a bob style cut. My appointment was with Karen and she sure knows how to cut and style hair. If you are looking for a big hair change and are wanting to be excited and happy afterwards go see Karen!!! I wanted layers and she matched the layers to my life style and took the time to tell me how to use the flat iron to give my hair that wavy textured look. So happy with my cut and style!!! read more

Jessica is incredible and was super helpful! I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for safe and natural hair services!

I've never been the best with styling and/or doing anything with my hair But once I came to Evolve and was served by Jessica I now have pretty hair! She is amazing with color theory, styling your hair into different looks and is very patient. Her updos rock my world too! I'm still not the best with hair but at least I'm given multiple tips on what to do :) I just need to practice haha. I totally recommend jessica and this salon. It's very mellow, relaxing and the finished product is always superb! read more

Jeska has been cutting my hair for years now. She always does a great job. I love her scalp massages. She is laid back and her prices are reasonable. Would highly recommend her! read more

Jessca, did an excellent organic rainbow hair dye. Super enjoyed the kombucha and all the hair tips. Must schedule at least two weeks in advance. read more

I had written the salonist about this the day when it happened, and she did offer a free cut to make up for it, although I didn't accept that. I don't want to make it seem like it's an evil place - I'm sure Tova is a really nice person in real life. It was just a bad experience that I don't want to deal with potentially again. read more

Been going here for about a year now. Great service and just a very relaxing place.

Evolve is a great neighborhood salon - I'm so happy we found them. The ambiance is peaceful and they always pamper you with tea and chocolate. Their prices are reasonable and Tova is a great stylist and colorist. She listens to your needs and makes the right recommendations for your hair type. My experience with their eco-friendly coloring system has been positive - no allergy reactions. read more

Came in with a horrible haircut from a different salon and Michelle TRANSFORMED it! Evolve is officially my new favorite salon.

Michele was recommended by a friend and fixed a terrible cut from another salon. She made sure it looks great as wash-and-go, and showed me some simple styling tricks for when I want to amp things up a bit. Even my bedhead hair looks fantastic, which as a soon-to-be new mom is critical! I'm so grateful she was able to send me home loving my hair and happy to have found a hair stylist here in Seattle I'm excited to return to. read more

I'm getting ready to head out of the country for the summer and I wanted to get my hair done done last-minute. A friend recommended me to Jeska and I'm so thankful! Jeska is warm, friendly, and honest, and listened to what I wanted (a rich auburn that would last the summer). I got a great color, a complimentary bang trim, and was in and out right on schedule. The shop is cozy and comfortable, and Jeska offered me lemonade right as I came in, a welcome suggestion on such a warm day. Overall, very pleased, and I'm sure to be back in the future. :) read more

I've been going here for the last year or so, and have never been happier. Michele Tucker is an absolute gem. Not only can she cut and color like a magician, she is a joy to be around. She takes her time, listens, and truly cares about the happiness of her clients. I tried to add highlights to my own hair, it was a disaster...Michele had a solution to help restore the tone and condition of my fried hay-hair. I left that day feeling like a million bucks. The salon itself is wonderful - clean, friendly, bright - I feel great every time I visit! read more

I'm not great at writing long reviews but Jeska gave me an awesome, perfectly natural looking (for my dark blonde hair) partial foil highlight in February and today I had maybe the best cut I've had since moving to Seattle 9 years ago from Tova. Excellent. Ogranic products. Both ladies took time to listen to what was important to me and made my hair look awesome even though I don't think I gave the best description of what I wanted. My new go-to spot! read more

I can't really speak to the salon as I have eyes only for Michele Tucker. What a find. I've been dementedly over the top in my quest to find a hair stylist I could tolerate. And suddenly-cue the trumpets-there's Michele. Laugh out loud funny, a practicioner of artful conversation, aesthetic as a beautician. She's an irresistible force, and I was heretofore an immovable object. Consider me moved. read more

I made an appointment, showed up on time, & I was told "I'm running late. Need 5 min" TWICE..after waiting 20 mins, I cancelled, walked next door to Derby Salon and received instant, FRIENDLY service! Making a customer wait when they make an appointment = lost customer and bad review. FAIL. read more

MICHELE IS AWESOME. I found Michele a few months ago and she has cut my hair four or five times since. I've always struggled to strike the right balance between super basic barber-shop haircut, (which usually has varied quality and looks okay but is cheap) to super Salon haircut (which looks a bit better, but costs way too much for my monthly cut.) Michele totally strikes that balance. She asks what I'm looking for, but unlike other barbers / stylists, she also offer guidance on what she thinks would look good. So far, all of my haircuts have been awesome, and the scalp / shoulder rub at the beginning is an added bonus. My wife says they are the best haircuts I've ever had. If you're just a guy looking for a great haircut, try Michelle. You wont be disappointed. read more

I have wavy, wacky hair, and haircuts have been something I've dreaded most of my life. But I always enjoy my visits to Evolve. Tova not only does a great job with my hair but also serves delicious tea, uses fantastic organic products, and gives great scalp massages in a relaxing environment. I love when they have different art on the walls every time I come in, and I've been very satisfied with the hair products they've recommended. Online booking is easy. This is my favorite salon of all time! read more

Michele Tucker is a haircutting goddess. I have never been happier with my hair. She listened so well when I said I wanted a polished, low-maintenance cut and boy did she deliver. She also built a cut that doesn't need to be touched up frequently. I absolutely love my cut and color and will be visiting Michele again and again. read more

Love this salon! Love the people who work here (I go to Christi but they all seem to do a super job); love the products. Everything is organic and such high quality! Strongly recommend this place. You won't regret it! read more

DEFINITELY book an appointment with Michele Tucker. She is an amazing stylist and a whole lot of fun. Michele cut my hair in Chicago for over a decade and I would recommend her to everyone. Consider yourself very lucky to find her. read more

Michele Tucker at at Evolve Organic Salon is amazing! I have dirty blonde hair and she is a wizard with cut and color. I get compliments constantly on my hair, and really enjoy my hair appointments with Michele. The salon has a great atmosphere, and I love the organic products Michele uses. My hair feels health, smooth and smells great. Thanks, Michele! read more

Katelynn was a sweetheart. She took so much time with me and gave me the haircut that I desired-- I am very picky so this was hard! I got the hairprint treatment too, and the price was very reasonable. The color is rich. I'm now eating lunch at the place Katelynn recommended down the street which is sooo good-- I'm a happy woman! Thank you so much! read more

I started coming to this salon about 6 months ago and I love it. Jeska is my hair stylist and has performed magic on my hair. I went from brown to blonde, had 2 full foils, 1 partial foil and a haircut. She is a true fabulous artist in her industry. On top of all this the products she uses are organic and healthy. Thank you Jeska you are fabulous. read more

Tova and her crew at Evolve are really great. Tova has cut my hair numerous times, including for my wedding (for which she also cut and styled my wife's hair and some of her bride's maids). The salon is comfortable, and conveniently located, and their commitment to natural and healthy products is admirable and comforting. read more

A beautiful salon that will make you feel beautiful too! Plus, everything they use is organic and natural. Tova is wonderful!

I love Michele! After she welcomed me with a cup of tea, I put my hair in her expert hands without really knowing what I wanted. She asked all the right questions to land on the perfect cut - I got plenty of compliments to prove that she nailed it. Michele has a warm heart and a badass vibe, and I so look forward to getting back in her chair! read more

Thank you Michele! Love the new cut. You were willing to chop off a lot of my hair and give me a spunky new hairdo. Also, I appreciate your positive attitude and great coffee. read more

I had a great experience at Evolve Hair and Art. My stylist, Jeska, was amazing. She really listened to what I wanted with my hair and gave me the exact cut that I was hoping for. She also gave me tons of styling and maintenance tips so that I can recreate the salon-ready look on a day-to-day basis. The salon as a whole was really nice inside - it was small (only 4 chairs, I think) but I like that. Not a large, impersonal chain. There was local art on the walls and relaxing music playing, too. I would definitely recommend this salon! The prices were especially reasonable for the entire package ($45 for my haircut). Did I mention they use organic products which smell delicious AND you get a shoulder, arm, neck and scalp massage before the haircut starts? Fantastic! I will visit again for my next haircut. read more
