I went to Evoke about two months ago because someone referred me as a good place. New to TO, I had been looking for a stylist for the last six months. I called Evoke and specifically asked for a stylist who understands curly hair. The receptionist recommended Leslie. She was nice to talk to, and I explained that I wanted my hair to be long, with minimal layers in the back. After she blow dried it it looked nice, if a bit shorter than I had wanted. My nightmare began after I washed my hair: she COMPLETELY WRECKED IT. First of all, the right side it totally shorter than the left side. Moreover, her understanding of layers is completely off. Instead of just layering the bottom tip of the hair in a progressive manner, she chopped of the top part of my hair and left the half portion below it longer. The result it awful. I don't get a wearable look, unless I blow dry is straight, even then I end up wearing it in a bun.

I don't mind paying a high price for a hair cut, in fact I have spent more where I lived before. But $87 for a crappy haircut felt like burning money.
