I really liked this Salon. My hairdresser was Oz Mann; he was great! Asked me what I wanted and ensured that I ended up satisfied with my hair. He didn't do anything other than what I asked him to do. He was also very professional and gave me a beautiful hair cut. In terms of the salon itself, it is in a convenient location, it's clean, and I didn't have to wait too long for my turn. They also kept asking me if I wanted anything to drink! Overall, they're great at what they do.

I have short hair and am very particular about how my hair is cut. To find a hairdresser who can cut short women's hair is not easy. I was referred to Jason and I could not be happier. He gives me a great cut and head massage. The atmosphere at evoke is relaxing and non pretentious.

I am generally not all that concerned about where I get my hair done, or how hip a place is...but I do know and appreciate excellent service, and the service at Evoke is STELLAR.

I live in a completely opposite neighbourhood in Toronto, but ended up at Evoke after getting my hair butchered at a different salon and needing major help. Jason, one of the owners, managed to turn my hack-job into quite a beautiful style. Not only did he fix my hair, but I also walked out the door feeling like I'd spent a few hours in a spa.

The attention to detail at Evoke is brilliant: the table beside my chair which had popcorn and fresh water for me also had hooks so my purse didn't sit on the floor collecting hair clippings (so smart), the shampoo station is in a low lit room so you can close your eyes and zone out, the shampoo itself had me melting in the the seat, not to mention that before you even start all of that, your stylist gives you aromatic head massage to...God, just make you feel amazing and set the tone for your visit!

I am greatly impressed with Evoke--it FAR exceeded any expectations I had about going to a salon--I was there last week and can't stop telling people about my experience...I truly would recommend this place to anyone. The staff were all very welcoming, the place was busy but not intimidating or stressful, and Jason is fabulous. If you appreciate exceptional service, PLUS great hair cutting- you've got to go. For me, it's definitely going to be worth the trek up to Yonge and Eg.

I have very frizzy curly hair, and it is hard to find a person who can cut it properly.
I've been going to evoke salon for several years now, and love the enthusiastic professionalism they have for hair (particularly curly).
I have referred evoke to many on my friends and family, they have also enjoyed the experience as well.

I came upon Evoke about a year ago, when I began having trouble with my stylist of 7 years. (Inexplicably he just started screwing up; deadly colours, obvious missed sections and finally, putting bleach on top of bleach until my hair was snapping off in clumps.) I was desperate and googled "best colour correction in Toronto" and fate led me to Michelle at Evoke.
As bad and broken as my hair was - and dark and dingy - Michelle was adamant about NOT throwing highlights or colour on it (though I so wanted brightening up!) but instead gave me a toner which did brighten me enough to feel I could last until some healthy roots had grown.
Since then, she's kept me going and made the most of my hair (even when I cut it myself and leave her speechless) as well as just being a total and utter delight as a human.
Today I went in to get back on track after another self-created hair problem (which occurred when Michelle had the gall to go on holiday! it shouldn't be allowed...) and again I was NOT indulged with a colour fix, but gently forced to hold off for 2 weeks (she's a task-mistress.) However, in the interim, she conjured up one of the owners (sweet Jason) to give me a much-needed trim which perked me up considerably. But when I went to pay, I was refused.
It's a tough old world out there, but in a time when a lot of things have gone disastrously wrong, Michelle has always been a source of warmth and joy and - not to be sniffed at - expertise. I trust her completely and cannot recommend her highly enough. Seriously. A treasure.
As a quick PS, I've been in the hands of a few other Evoke stylists and all have exceeded my expectations in both results and warmth.

I had been going to the same stylist up until I moved to Toronto which was about 6 months ago. During those 6 months I actually travelled an hour back home to just get my hair done--I was the nervous to have someone else do my hear!

I joined Chick Advisor well before moving here and read about Evoke and it DID make me think about possibly going there, but the thought of having my coifs screwed up make me shiver! But after that trip back to my stylist, I decided it didn't make sense, and I had to let him go ;'(

I hope he NEVER sees this because I am in LOVE! Evoke was the best thing that's happened to my head, actually---I should say Leslie was! I was not nervous after making my appointment, it's true what you read here from other ladies, the girl was polite on the phone and made me feel good about my choice.

You pick your stylist based on prince point. If you are not sure, just ask on the phone, or maybe say you would like to pick someone in the mid range. But I would pay mid or most $$$, it's worth it, it's your hair.

During the initial appointment call, I didn't specifically ask for Leslie, even though I did read one or two reviews on here specifically about her--I just figured what the hell, I read good things, I trust these people. And I got booked with her as per the suggestion of the receptionist on the phone. She assured me Leslie would make a point of taking a look at my face shape, what compliments it, and my hair type.
She did just that, I love it! The place is clean, tidy and very calming.

I read the receptionists were mean, I wouldn't say mean, I'd say they were BORED. Leslie was wonderful, I will be going back in 2 weeks for a complimentary clean up... love.

Other than that, I am satisfied, I will DEF go back, I recommend 100%, you are in GOOD hands.

Best haircut ever! I am so picky and particular about my hair dressers. Ryan is the only stylist who has ever been able to give me exactly what I want. When I know what I want, he listens and carries it out to a T. But leave him to his own devices and he knows how to make a woman look good. I feel completely comfortable letting him be creative, because I always leave the salon feeling like a million bucks. Not to mention, Ryan is always keeping me entertained with his wit and good timing. You can never underestimate the importance of good conversation while you're at the salon! If you're looking for someone talented, or just need some fresh perspective, he's your guy!

I hd my hair cut on October 14, 2010 by a stylist by the name of Ergys. He was amazing!!!!!! He took the time to discuss and analize my hair needs. I love my new cut, very chick and modern. I would reccomend him and the salon to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After many MANY bad haircuts, (its been years, since I've been happy with my haircuts!) I decided to try Evoke. My roomate has been going there for about a year, and raves about it everytime. I decided to call and make an appointment with her stylist, Jill.

I came into the salon and was greeted warmly and offered a drink from their huge drink menu. Jill greeted me within minutes of my arrival, and we started the consultation. I felt at ease almost immediately. I stressed her how unhappy I have been. She was so detailed about what i wanted to see, and more importantly what I didn't want to see. As I told her what I had had in the past, she relayed to me why I was not happy. She knew exactly what shapes worked and what didn't with my hair type and face shape.

What can I say, the haircut was amazing! She did exactly what we discussed, and I love my hair! The haircut, the staff, the atmosphere, everything about this salon, has made me a believer in great hairstylists, and amazing business'

Let me start off by saying that the only reason why I even bothered getting my haircut here was because my friend from work got hers done, and gave me a 50% off coupon. I'm a college student, living on my own, so 50% off a professional salon wash/cut/style that's usually only $50 sounds a lot more reasonable than some other places in this neighbhourhood (cough, one place (that I will not name) charges $240 for the same thing o_O). My friend's hair was fantastic and she couldn't stop raving about how excellent the stylist was.

From the time I called to make the appointment to the time I left the salon, I kept becoming more and more impressed. The receptionist is simply lovely, the stylists are wonderful and full of personality, and the owner is the nicest most down-to-earth guy I've ever met. He was actually the one who did my hair, and god damn he was probably the best hair stylist i've ever had. I trusted him enough to let him do his thing, and boy am I glad I did. My hair looks absolutely fantastic. Easily the best haircut i've EVER had and it only cost me $25. He even told me to come back and they'd do my bangs for free!

Unfortunately, I was so distracted talking to him that I completeeeeely forgot to leave a tip! I felt like such a jerk, especially since I'm so super impressed with my hair. I'll have to make sure I tip him double next time, or maybe bring him something to say thanks :)
