Loved my first hair cut with Fran. Especially great for Christmas. Thank you so much Fran for fitting me in.
The salon was so well organised and welcoming. On arrival I was greeted at the door with all Covid restrictions met in a really pleasant manor. Once I was fully checked, I was invited in to where I was shown my seat. Each station was screened and felt very safe! Charlotte was fantastic from start to finish and really made me feel confident to be in her talented hands. She sat and talked with me about what I wanted, advised on parts I was unsure of and then got started. She was supported by a team of really helpful and chatty girls who couldn’t do enough for me throughout my time in the salon. The process was seamless! My hair looked fantastic when it was finished and exactly as I had asked! Definitely the best salon I have ever been to! Thank you all of the Evolve team!
I'm really happy with my hair. Holly always listens and does exactly what I want and has helped.my hair to become so much healthier over the past year or so.
Evolve salon has everything in place from the minute you arrive at the front door.
Temp checks questions regarding Covid .which clients have to sign.
All clients items put into a plastic bag to stop spread of Covid .
Fantastic highlights and cut from Dyan/blow dry with body and soft curls.Lovely treatment at the sink sorry can’t remember her name but her massage of oplex treatment was fantastic
good pressure.
As always amazing from start to finish
felt safe during these strange times
Evolve have everything in place can highly recommend this salon.
I have been coming here regularly for over 25 years as I was one of Linzi's first customers. She has always done a perfect job on my hair and I just love coming here. There is a lovely, happy atmosphere as all the staff are pleasant and efficient. Overall It is an enjoyable, relaxing experience.
Having been a creature of habit for years, the amazing team at Evolve have been so patient with me!
But Holly has finally convinced me to be a little more daring with my colour and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you! I love it!
Excellent cut and style. Superb service. Always a great experience with highly professional and skilful staff
Thank you so much Joanne for my colour and cut. I love it and think we have it right now. Thank you for taking time to work with me on what I am aiming for. It is so nice after losing my hair to work out what style and colour I would like and have you expertise help. Have a lovely Christmas. Xx
Fab. Dylan is always lovely, listens to me and gives good advice
Very relaxing and excellent cut and colour as usual.
Cut and colour and it was exactly what I wanted and was so pleased with the result. Salon is very welcoming despite all the extra measures that they have implemented- a pleasure to visit
Evolve is the only salon in York I've had consistently great haircuts from. Wish it hadn't taken me 15 years to find this lovely place.
Theres a warm, friendly atmosphere at Evolve, and it feels genuine.
They properly listen when they ask what you want doing with your hair, which should be the norm at all salons, but we all know it isn't. Frances is awesome, but I think all the stylists here are really good.
If I ever leave York I'll still come back here to get my hair done.
Excellent safety procedures in place
As always I felt very welcome by Charlotte and all of you. She has cut my hair for years and I will always come back to your salloon as she is a very professional and nice.
Been going to Evolve for years, you are always treated so well from the moment you enter the extremely clean and modern salon to the moment you leave with your super new hairstyle . During the pandemic I’ve been twice and the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure clients and staff stay safe. The best salon in York with very experienced staff and top class customer service.
Charlotte is always confident and professional, she advises appropriately and I always leave the salon 100% happy! Thank you!
Where would I be without Charlotte! She is wonderful, a brilliant stylist & I always have complete faith in her. The salon staff are all so welcoming & professional, feels a very warm & caring environment always!
I just wanted to write a huge thank you to Dyan and the rest of the team at Evolve . My appt was cancelled during lockdown and I managed to get a last minute pre Xmas one . It was only for a cut but Dyan went above and beyond and managed to add a few highlights to tide me over the Xmas period until my appt in January . My normal stylist is Charlotte and I was delighted with the cut Dyan did . The salon felt very safe and clean and they have done a brilliant job . Thanks to everyone for all the hard work this year and a hope all the angels have a fantastic Xmas .
Alway look forward to my appointment, feel safe feel welcome feel better an enjoyable experience, thanks x
I had a full hair colour, cut and blow dry. Ebony was as usual brilliant - kind, chatty, thorough and a perfectionist. I was thrilled with my hair and left feeling a lot better than I arrived! Thank you xx
Perfect cut as always wouldn't go anywhere else
Dyan always asks for my preference and offers advice which I have trusted now for several years. She is friendly, approachable and professional. I always feel welcome and well looked after. I have recommended Evolve to several friends who are also highly satisfied.
Great experience as normal well done
As usual, Dyan makes the whole experience of having my hair cut a happy, friendly yet professional experience. Her personal and hairdressing skills are excellent. She listens to what I'm thinking about my hair style and condition and makes great suggestions. I always look forward to my appointments knowing I can relax and enjoy the experience and leave the salon with a fabulous haircut and a happy smile!
Not only did Evolve contact me to make sure I got my appointment before the latest lockdown, they were as friendly, organised and efficient as ever even though they were all very busy and working long hours. Thank you.
Lovely experience as always,lovely chat with Ebony when doing highlights.
Linzi cut my hair and there was a lovely buzz in the salon as all the girl were dressed in sparkle, which was a great idea .
Holly always does a fantastic job with my hair. Highlights look superb and my hair has never been in such great condition. She takes time to make sure you get a great cut and always makes you feel special.
Excellent service as always. Charlotte is not only very professional and a great stylist and colourist but also so understanding, thoughtful and kind. Thank you x
Fantastic service as ever and excellent hair cut and colour. Excellent levels of cleanliness and friendly and cheerful atmosphere.
In the circumstances my appointment would have been cancelled due to the lockdown ....However, the team went over and above trying to re arrange as many appointments as possible....Keeping the salon open extra hours to fit in as many clients as they could ...Thank you so much to the whole team
Always a pleasure to come and have my hair done by Ebony and Dyan. Both are professional and knowledgable.
Such a shame that we are going back into lockdown because Evolve have created a clean safe environment with no slip in standards for customers or staff. I feel completely safe in their salon. Service is great, they are very organised and Fran is lovely. Fran is very professional and delivers a great cut and blow dry.
Very pleased with my new pink colour and cut done by Holly
Evolve is a friendly and professional salon with very high Covid secure standards. The quality of the stylists is very high and the whole salon experience is very relaxing.
Welcoming , friendly salon. Excellent cut and finish. Thank you ?
Linzi has ensured that every precaution is taken in the salon but with minimal intrusion on the clients experience. Brilliant cut and colour as ever from Holly, and a treat in these strange times. Thank you.
I never have any complaints. From the minute I walk in until I leave it’s a pleasure to be there. All staff are pleasant and efficient. The salon is gorgeous and relaxing. Holly has been tending my locks for many years and her advice and expertise is amazing. I walk in feeling a bit dowdy and often bedraggled and leave feeling gorgeous. It’s like therapy !
Holly is not my usual stylist but she is a delightful girl and my hair was beautifully cut. I am very pleased with it.
Such a treat coming here, every time, without fail.
Dyan was brilliant at spending time making the appointment feel personal. Getting to know problems I've had with my hair and giving advice. My hair is very fine and straight and she cut it to give it so much more personality.
