Review for Michael Dahl at Evolution Studio

A Five-Year Journey of Exceptional Haircare

After years of searching for the right hairdresser—and being repeatedly let down by professionals who seemed more interested in repeating the same style than listening to my needs—I finally found Michael Dahl at Evolution Studio. My experience with other salons always felt impersonal and uninspired, leaving me disappointed and frustrated with my hair.

From the very first appointment with Michael, everything changed. He immediately demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding my preferences, taking the time to listen and learn about what would suit my face shape and complement my lifestyle. Michael is a true perfectionist, constantly forward-thinking and attuned to new ideas that not only look great but also feel uniquely ‘me.’

One of the things I appreciate most is that Michael never overbooks clients. Every visit feels unhurried and thoughtful, with his full attention devoted to my hair. This personalized approach consistently results in styles that draw compliments from friends, colleagues, and even strangers. I leave the salon each time feeling renewed and confident, my hair vibrant and perfectly styled.

As the years go by and my hair needs evolve, Michael adapts right alongside me, helping me stay youthful and ensuring my hair always looks its best. The quality and consistency of his work have genuinely made my life easier, freeing me from the anxiety of salon visits and the disappointment of lackluster results.

And beyond his undeniable skill, Michael is simply wonderful company. Appointments are not just about great hair, but also about enjoying uplifting and engaging conversations in a welcoming atmosphere. For anyone searching for a hairdresser who truly listens, delivers consistently excellent results, and makes every visit a pleasure, I cannot recommend Michael Dahl at Evolution Studio highly enough.

I have lived in MN for 7 years, and have changed hairdressers/colorists at least 10 times because of inconsistent, bland, or blasé service. I know there is a lot of hair talent in Minnesota, but I didn't see it or experience until I was recommended to visit Evolution and specifically to see Catlin. WOW! I have been getting my hair done at Evolution now for the past 4-5 months and I haven't been happier with my hair in, like, ever! The salon has a gorgeous atmosphere. The products are top-notch. And while I've only seen Catlin for my hair, I can tell that everyone who works there is a very accomplished and talented stylist/colorist. At any given time, the salon is always comfortably full, and everyone is always looking fabulous when they leave from their service. While it is a little more expensive than some of the salons I've been to, it is well worth the...

I booked with Alyssa and she did an incredible job!! My hair was bleached beyond repair with several orange spots from both at home and salon mishaps so I came in for a color correction. Off the bat I discovered that my hair was too damaged to go platinum blonde, so Alyssa suggested I do a light ash brown fading into pale blonde in order to get rid of the brassy tones. I didn’t know what to expect but I was beyond stunned with the final look!! The color is such a unique shade in between brown and blonde and it makes my green eyes much more eye catching. I also got face framing layers and it was probably the best haircut I have ever received in a salon. My friends and family have been complimenting me non stop and telling me how much my new hair suits me, and I am so glad that my hair finally looks healthy and...
