Kathy Evans Beauty Studio

So I found this salon based on the Unilocal reviews therefore I feel it’s important to share my experience as well. I had been going to my guy in Lynnwood for years but because I have recently moved and I wanted somewhere closer to home, I thought I’d give this place a try.
Sooooooo I made an appointment with Natalie for a cut, color, and highlights. I had ombré hair that was dark brown on top transitioning to a blonde and I loved it but for the Fall I was hoping to go to a warmer Auburn color that I had in mind. I showed her a picture of the model with very clear auburn base and warmer caramel highlights. And long and behold after 2+ hours of sitting there, I got nothing close to that! My cut was was shorter than I expected, and the color was completely off! I got a darker base with lighter beige highlights! I was totally shocked and I couldn’t hide my dismay. I told her I appreciate it but this is nothing close to what I wanted. So she offered to tone in down right there but I had to leave and I figured I would give it some time for my eyes to adjust. Perhaps the lighting was off or I couldn’t see the resemblance to the picture I had just shown her. I paid $ 200 + $ 40 tip despite not being happy. I will say that Natalie is super sweet and kind, although a bit too talkative for my taste. I prefer not to spill out my whole life to someone I just met. And I didn’t just spend 3 hours and $ 240 to make a friend. I wanted my hair done to my standards.
Anyways, after a few days passed and I started HATING my highlights more and more, I noticed that not only was the color off but there placement of the highlights were also off with thinner streaks on one side and chunkier streaks on the other side of my part. So I called in and asked to have my hair corrected. Natalie again was gracious given the awkwardness of having an unhappy customer come back and I was really hoping she would fix the problem but after toning my hair I was upset to see my hair was completely dark. I was happy not to have beige highlights anymore but there were no hints of highlights to be found and I was even further off from the picture I had shown.
It seems that traveling to Lynnwood back to my guy is in order!

Love my haircut, it’s difficult to find a salon that knows how to manage curly, thick hair but Natalie did a great job. Highly recommend.

Kathy Evans Salon is my new go-​to salon! Natalie is the best. She always listens to what I want and I leave there with exactly what I pictured.

I feel like I have to write a review because this is the most pleased I have ever been after a haircut. I am a complete hippy when it comes to my hair and have kept it long most of my life to avoid having to style it everyday. I finally decided it was time to grow up and chop it off. I went in and saw NATALIE who took her time analyzing my hair and asking me questions about my daily routine (how I normally style my hair, if I blow dry it or not, etc). Then she did something that I’ve never had a stylist do. She had me stand up out of the chair and face forward, then face left, then face right all the while she was trimming my hair. Needless to say, I’ve never been happier with my short (er) hair. I chopped over ten inches off a year ago and was very displeased with the way my hair turned out. The woman before cut it with layers that only someone who styles their hair everyday would look good with. This time, with Natalie, I had about 4 – 5 inches cut off and my hair is still low maintenance! I literally do nothing to my hair and it looks just how I want it (might sound like maybe it’s my hair that is the godsend, but trust me on this one, it is the way she cut it that makes my mornings a breeze). I recommend Natalie if you’re looking for someone to really take your habits into consideration when cutting your hair and not just someone looking to fly through clients and make as much money as possible.

It’s been about 10 years I first had my makeup done my Kathy and I am extremely happy, I look amazing each time! I know her since GEM and she is so talented, all i have to do is to show up and she takes care of the rest.
I love her work!

Got an updo done here and the service was fast and Kristen was very nice! Would definitely recommend this place to friends!

Absolutely love this salon! Have been going to Kristen and Lauren for years and followed them from Gem.
Kristen always gives the best hair cuts. I can always trust her to know exactly what will look great especially when I want to change things up. I also get Keratin treatments every 4 – 6 months. I used to spend almost 45 minutes flat ironing every morning to try to straighten my wavy, frizzy hair. Now I average maybe 5 minutes. Worth every penny. My daughter also goes to kristen and her last makeover cut is awesome.
Lauren is great with color. I love getting my hair balayage. Ive thrown every color her way with wanting to go different with the seasons and it always looks great. My daughter also goes to Lauren and keeps her on her toes. Blue, purple, pink, red. You name it and Lauren has put it on her head and it looks great.
I also used Poev this last week for a special occasion hair style since both of the girls were out of town. She did great!!! My hair is on the shorter style and so typically you curl or flatiron. She curled but then started pinning it to make the cutest style. Something totally different for me. Loved it!
And then there’s Kathy who is great for brows and makeup. I wish I could get this woman to just live at my house and do my makeup. She did a makeup lesson with my daughter and it was a great intro for teens. I really recommend this for Christmas present ideas. My daughter loved it.
Also I recommend all of the Oribe hair products they sell. They are awesome!!! Couldn’t say enough how much I love this place.

Lauren Brady (soon to be Lauren J.) is just an overall miracle worker.
Not only does her talent stand head and shoulders above every professional I have been to, but she GENUINELY cares about my hair. Thank GOD i met Lauren!
I went from Red to Blonde recently, and she put so much TLC into my hair that I am so genuinely proud to show it off. This is huge coming from a girl who has always felt insecure about her hair.
Do yourself a favor and get Lauren to do your color, she is absolutely so much more worth more than what she charges. She will do what you want and then some. She will give you a look better than what you could have ever hoped for in yourself.
I’m so thrilled to work with her from now on! Finally I have someone who I can trust!

Kathy does beautiful eye brow waxing and is such a lovely person to be around. We have girl chat time during my waxing — it’s always a pleasure. So glad I’ve found her.

Love this place. Kathy is amazing. In their natural state my brows are a mess, and yet after my appointments they are striking and beautiful. Like Cara Delivigne (in a good way!!)

Well, I’m a guy who only goes to Kathy Evans for haircut every 2 months. I followed Shoko, who moved there a while ago.
I consistently get a great haircut and shampoo. You may have to book in advance as she’s pretty busy.

The salon is in great location and very clean.
I love my stylist, she is very attentive and did a great job on my haircut.
Only drawback is no beverage service (I wasn’t even offered a glass of water).

I am writing this review in regards to the lack of courtesy I experienced when I was trying to book Kathy Evans Beauty Studio to do my hair & makeup for my wedding day. I had given the salon a call and spoke with Kathy herself and booked my hair and makeup trial appointment on June 23, with the expectation to receiving a price list for services the same day. I received no email. After four days of waiting, I decided to call the morning of June 28, and finally received a price list a few hours later. Within the contents of this email, I received a notice that I need to put down a deposit no later than 10 am the next day. About 4 hours later, I received another email from Kathy telling me that someone had already booked Kathy as their hair and makeup artist.
I really did not appreciate Kathy’s lack of courtesy to give me time to think about my final decision, and also discuss this with my fiancé. I am surprised that my wedding coordinator recommended this salon.
Advice to other brides: Have a back up hair and makeup salon/​artist just in case Kathy Evans Beauty Studio turns you down because someone else paid up front earlier.

I have been going to Kathy to get my eyebrows done for about five years now! I started going here on a referral from a friend, and I have never gone any where else. I have always been highly satisfied by the results! I have thick and crazy brows and Kathy has never made them too thin of have an odd shape. My sister is the opposite and has very thin and sparse brows that she has to fill in on a daily basis. Kathy has seen my sister several times to do her brows and by removing a couple hairs the over all shape is greatly improved! My sister has also had her hair and make up done twice for two proms and looked absolutely stunning! Additionally I get my lip waxed at the same time as my eyebrows and that is always great. My mother also comes here and gets her brows both tinted and waxed and she and I always leave looking better than we came in! I would highly recommend this place to anyone for any variety needs, from facial waxing to wedding or prom make up to hair for special events or just coloring and a cut! This place is the best, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I just visited this salon for the first time today and chose this salon based up on the Unilocal reviews. I am SO pleased with my experience! I had my hair foiled and cut. Both services were exceptional and exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m couldn’t be more pleased!

Still coming to Kathy for my brows! I can’t say enough good things about this salon. The front desk staff is so friendly, and Kathy is fantastic at brow sculpting. Scheduling has been so easy… my calls never go to voicemail during business hours (refreshing). My brows have finally become sisters instead of distant cousins! Fabulous! At first I was a bit disappointed they stopped carrying Moroccanoil products, but I tried Oribe hairspray and ended up really liking it, so I’m willing to convert. :)

I went to Kathy to have my makeup done for a marketing photo and Poev did my hair and I was so happy! They did a great job. I usually hate my photos and this time it was perfect! Thanks!

Kristin has just recently joined the Kathy Evans Studio. I have followed her from Gene Juarez to Gem and now to Kathy Evans. I would not trust my hair to any other person. She has always been able to maintain my hair and improve the condition, despite the season and course. I recently had a baby and she was able to help me through the brittle and hormonal changes of the hair and now through the new growth.
Prices are competitive and value is exceptional. She did hair for my wedding party and everyone was complimented.
I highly recommend Kristin for upkeep and special occasion.

I am probably the pickiest woman in the world about my brows. I don’t wear eye makeup and so my brows need to be flawless. Always.
Kathy is the ONLY person I will trust with them. I have been to many many pros (even Anastasia in LA) and she is by far the best. Not only is she great with what she does, she’s fast and a wonderful woman to boot. Make an appt, you won’t be sorry.

I love kathy evans beauty studio! They DO AWESOME make up and not to mention hair! I have been seeing Shoko for about 2 ½ years now since I have moved to Seattle from Portland OR. She used to work at this other salon down the street, but i followed her all the way to kathy evans.
She recently did a wave perm for me and it LOOKS AMAZING! I was so scared it was going to ruin my hair, but she did such a good job and my flat straight boring hair now looks full of life.
She also CUTS amazing hair, she is a PERFECTIONIST! and we all need that ladies. especially in our hair. RIGHT? RIGHT? :)
