Evolve Salon 8th Avenue, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923

"If you're looking for someone in the Big Sur/ Carmel area for wedding hair and makeup, look no further. I was married in September at Post Ranch Inn and came into the salon for my wedding day hair and makeup. Katlyn is an incredibly talented hair and makeup artist and I couldn't have been happier with the results. One of the things that stood out to me about her was her creativity and attention to detail. I had a specific vision in mind, complete with a flower crown. To my delight, she not only embraced my idea but also took it to the next level. She skillfully transformed the flower crown into a breathtaking hairpiece that perfectly complemented my bridal look. It was a unique and personalized touch that truly made me feel special on my big day. The makeup artistry was nothing short of phenomenal. I've had my makeup done professionally on various occasions, but this experience surpassed them all. She flawlessly enhanced my features, creating a look that was both natural and stunning. The attention to detail was evident in every brushstroke, and the final result was a radiant and picture-perfect bride. Throughout the process, she remained approachable and friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable. Her positive energy added an extra layer of joy to an already magical day. I wholeheartedly recommend Katlyn and Evolve Salon, and I'm grateful to have had her contribute to the beauty and joy of my wedding day."

"Hair fell out before I even got to the alter. I have naturally curly hair so it's not hard to get curls to stay. After the trail I even shared that we would need to do something different because the curls didn't stay. After finishing my hair day of the wedding I even asked for extra hairspray. On top of that, my hair was not done how we had done and agreed upon during the trail. Some details were changed and I did not even realize it until I saw photos. I'm upset that I paid what I paid and my hair was not even satisfactory. This is a warning to anyone else to make sure you pay close attention or go somewhere else."

"If you are looking for wedding hair and makeup, look no further!!! Evolve salon was one of the best parts of my wedding. Katlyn was super flexible with my tight schedule as an out-of-town bride. She did a FANTASTIC job with my hair and makeup. She was able to take Pinterest photos and replicate them flawlessly and still make me feel like myself. I cannot recommend Evolve salon more."

"Katlyn and her team are so wonderful and kind. They did an amazing job for my bridal hair/makeup and all of my bridesmaids! I felt so taken care of with Katlyn. I really wanted to feel & look like myself on my wedding day and she helped me achieve that. I highly recommend Evolve for all brides in the Carmel area!"

"9 months ago I got a horrible balayage from a different stylist in a different state. I reached out to Caitlyn and told her my dilemma, and she invited me to her salon for a treatment. I showed her a couple of older photos of my hair when it was healthy and asked her to restore it as best she could. We spent several hours in the chair getting to know each other while she worked on my hair. Caitlyn is personable, genuine and really good at what she does. She’s a wholehearted professional who made me feel comfortable the whole time. When she turned the chair around I got to see her hair art talent. I HIGHLY recommend Evole Salon!"
