My $25.00 hair cut at Evoke Salon

Last July, I experienced major hair trauma. I went to a very high end salon in Yorkville with the high hopes of getting long, sexy Kim Kardashian layers and ended with a Jennifer Aniston hair cut circa 1997. The real disappointment was the price tag of $120. I never thought that I would ever cry over my hair but that day a few tears were shed. I vowed that I would never ever pay more than $80 for a haircut, no matter how fancy the salon.

It's been 8 months since my last hair cut. My hair was so overgrown that I began to resemble cousin IT from the Addams family. I knew that I had to get my hair cut soon but wanted to go to a place that was reputable and wouldn't break the bank. So when my co-worker suggested Evoke salon, (located in the yonge and eglinton area) I promptly made an appointment with her hair stylist Ryan.

I knew that it was a good sign when I arrived at the salon and they offered me my choice of beverage (tea, juices, espresso, etc) and had free wifi available. Ryan was very welcoming and accommodating as we discussed options for my hair. He didn't try to convince me to cut more off then I was comfortable with and he gave the most wondeful scalp and neck message ever (thanks to those magic fingers!) Also, he was very easy to chat with. And the haircut, well, here are the results:



Hair Before
(you can literally see the split ends in my hair, gross)





Hair After
So smooth, felt like Pantene hair model :)



Needless to say, I absolutely love my hair cut! It completely restored my faith in hair stylists and you know what the biggest surprise of all was? The price!! Thanks to a 50% off referral coupon that my colleague gave me, my hair cut was a whopping $25.50 (Normally the cuts here start at $50 and up- which still is a good price). Also I was surprised to find out that if you pre-book your appointments at the salon you are entitled to $5.00 off your next session and that they also send you a birthday surprise. Talk about good customer service! If you are ever in the Toronto area I highly suggest checking this salon out. For more information on Evoke salon please click here.
