He specializes in balayage and hair painting, and it shows. The blends are seamless, the grow-out is easy, and the results are genuinely low-maintenance, which is rare. Whether you want subtle or a bigger change, he delivers.

Evan did an amazing job dyeing my hair a natural copper red color from my natural color of medium brown. Evan is friendly, professional, and goes above and beyond to work with you to make sure you are happy with the finished product. I definitely recommend him if you're looking to color your hair :)
First time getting my hair dyed in many many years! We were able to achieve exactly what I wanted and Evan was able to understand what I wanted even when I didn’t know how to describe it. Very pleased and he’s incredibly pleasant and personable.
