I decided to try out Evoke salon because of all the raving reviews. They have great customer service - it was easy to book an appointment and everyone was extremely friendly when I showed up. In addition to beverages and snacks, they even presented me with a special birthday treat.
I am giving Evoke 3/5 because their listed prices are misleading. The website stated a $50-75 scale for a cut. I was charged $90, excluding tax and tip. This came as a surprise as I didn't expect to be charged more than what was advertised. I wrote in some feedback and now the website says "from $50". To me, this comes across as misleading. I have never had a salon charge almost twice the starting price for a cut.
Despite the friendly service, I don't intend on coming back.
