I came to Patrick Evan Hair Salon after having the worst haircut of my life somewhere else. I was nervous and uneasy about trying a new place but gave Patrick Evan a chance and I'll never go anywhere else!
I put in an online request for a haircut and they quickly got back to me with a few questions about my hair history. Afterwards, they matched me with a stylist who took the time to learn about my hair needs and helped me figure out what cut would look best for me. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave me the best haircut of my life!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sally Z.San Francisco, CA20144Jul 18, 2024
I've been going to Tania for all my color and cuts. She is fantastic, she is like an artist with coloring. She did an amazing job today on my hair (red balayage), it looks amazing. She even added some violet to the ends which was a nice touch and really balanced out the look. The salon is also aesthetically pleasing; it's a nice clean environment. Also, I like that they ask for photos and specifics beforehand via email, and before they start any service to make sure they get it just right. Highly highly recommend!

Overall really good, I allowed my stylist to improvise and she did a wonderful job for my first visit with her - I think her name was Sara. My only feedback would be to offer a drink at the front desk while clients wait for their seat. I would definitely recommend this place and Sara as a stylist. Thank you!

It is my experience and belief that an ideal salon can and should be warm and welcoming beginning at the front desk and then continuing throughout the 1-2.5 hour experience longer or shorter as it may be.
This quality is all but lost in many salons today where ego trumps all.
I find Patrick warm, welcoming in a low key way. The ambiance is very positive here. Although the front desk can be alittle stiff, the person at the exit desk is always welcoming.
I've worked with Emmalee who is a skilled color person and today I worked with Emma who is exceptionally welcoming,upbeat, concerned and a good listener.
I am basically allergic to hair dyes-- some more than others and I found that Emma took all steps with shampoo, finishing products, scalp protectors etc.. to be sure thath my experience could be positive. We are still working on modifying the right mixture to minimize allergy but I'm not discouraged.
The red brick interior, large windows, gentle music all contributed toward a very positive experience. I walked out with my ultimate rich, shiny brown hair looked gloriously natural although I don't duplicate a result this lovely on my own.
There is so much attitude at CODE and at CINTA, close neighbors, that's it's simply a joy to find a salon where one can exhale, relax, and converse knowing you are in good hands.
These are the last folks I visited the Covid shutdown began and the first for me to revisit in the past 2 years. I deeply appreciate seeing hard working men andd women attending to the business of beauty.
They are also effective at sending out reminders so I don't need to worry if I forget and if I need to make changes, the front desk works quickly to resolve any changes and I appreciate that.
It was fun joking with Emma and learning about her path to hairdressing.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aashima A.San Francisco, CA79164Jun 23, 2024

Char does it again with the coloring and cut! She's the only person I trust with my hair and she never disappoints. Sitting in a chair for hours can be tiring and boring but chatting with Char makes the time breeze by! I always look forward to catching up with her. Berlin blow dried my hair and then curled it, she did a fantastic job. Feelin' like a brand new person! Thank you ladies

I came across Char (Charlotte) and she is P H E N O M E N A L! I don't trust easily with my super fine/thin asian hair but I always trust her skills 1000%. She is honest about the process with whatever style or color you are trying to achieve. I usually tell her something vague such as "I want a natural ash brown", any questions after that, I literally tell her "whatever you think looks good." And I let her do her thing (That's how much I trust her!). Char is so easy to talk to, I feel like we're old friends catching up when I get my hair done. I love her style too!
Everytime I walk into the salon, I am always greeted by a friendly receptionist making sure that I'm comfortable while waiting for my apt. They have a wide selection of tea and coffee while waiting.

I have had a few issues at this salon, such as when I saw a different stylist, but overall I trust Vania more than anyone to cut and color my hair. She is great if you have thick, wavy/curly hair.

This review is for my girl Emma-Lee! I loooove her. If you're looking for a stylist that can work their magic on thick, straight Asian hair, I would definitely suggest seeing her. She always takes my abstract concepts & descriptions and turns it into beautiful creations. My hair was getting waaayyyy too long (not in a good way) and I knew I had to go see her. She's always so careful and delicate with your hair, it kinda feels like a spa experience and I looooove it. She checks in about what you want (length, layer, shape, etc.) every step of the way so it's exactly how you imagined it. And every time I leave something up to her (cuz it's her expertise after all) it turns out SO GOOD. Let my picture do the talking!! Go see her. You won't regret it :)
Note: the babylights are from a diff stylist two months ago! Don't mind my roots lolHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Marissa S.Penn Center, Philadelphia, PA154470Mar 7, 2023Updated review
CALLING ALL BRIDES-TO-BE!
If you are looking to elevate your bridal hairstyles from
"wow" to "DAAAANG!", then you need to book an appointment with CHARLOTTE PARSONS now.
For my wedding I planned to do an updo for the ceremony, then let it half down for the reception. For the day after, I planned to wear my hair down. ALSO, for context, I do not have the patience to highlight my hair regularly so this was a one-time thing only.
Based on this information, Charlotte strategically placed highlights that would look incredible up, down, half down, AND that would grow out beautifully. It looked so good I am considering doing this twice a year....
I seriously cannot thank Charlotte enough for transforming my hair to be so picture perfect. Throughout my entire wedding weekend, guests came up to me asking me where I got my hair colored because it looked sooooo dang incredible. It photographed beautifully. It created DEPTH in my updo and the illusion of MOVEMENT when I wore it down. Truly, worth every dollar for my big day and made me feel like a million bucks getting so many compliments on my HAIR!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Jan 20, 2019Previous reviewI FOUND MY HAIR CUTTER! Charlotte Parsons, thank you soooooo much for transforming my hair. I have never been so obsessed or happy with a haircut in my life. Seriously. I usually only cut my hair every 8 months because I'm always indifferent about the results. Don't get me wrong, I'm never displeased but I'm also usually not ecstatic about my cuts -- until today. Charlotte spent the time to dry cut first (which I LOVE because you can actually tell what it will look like as is without all the fancy styling), then she shampooed and conditioned my hair. Then, she wet cut, dried, dry cut one final time, and FINALLY styled. She even took the time to teach me how to curl my hair with a flat iron AND let me practice so that she could give me in-person technical feedback. Not only was I completely enamored with my cut but the entire experience was soooooooo wonderful. Charlotte is also so kind, and a great person to chat with which makes the entire time you're in the chair fly by.
Thank you thank you thank you CHARLOTTE PARSONS! You are the BEST! I'm looking forward to the next one! Can't wait! - Michelle F.San Francisco, CA7570Feb 16, 2024Updated review
I schedule any serious hair transformation appointment with Patrick Evan Salon because I know I can TRUST that they'll take care of me. Amy especially has been the recent standout experience prompting me to write this review. I'm no hair expert and Amy grabbed the wheel to make sure I got what I needed and more, elevating the service beyond what I asked for. In that moment I thought to myself THIS is why I come here and THIS is the difference with top tier service. Amy gave me seamless bangs and created movement in my overall length. Outstanding!

I've been to many places looking for someone to create a look that I have visualized in my head for a while and Julian was the first to actually create what I wanted perfectly, even better than I imagined. I couldn't be happier with the result and I'll for sure be scheduling my next visit with Patrick Evan Hair Salon. I'd recommend this salon to anyone who wants a quality result!
