The Evolution of Style is on Westheimer in Houston and was founded and is led by Damian Walter. The salon describes its space as cozy and luxurious, with soothing music, calming aromas and warm decor, and describes the feel as sophisticated and intimate. Amenities include a parking space, card payment, accessibility for people with disabilities, child-friendly seating and Wi-Fi.

About

The salon says it works from a holistic view, caring for the whole person in each visit, and describes itself as premium natural hair care in Houston with attentive, respectful service. Its core work is starting locs, retwisting, interlocking, loc extensions, loc maintenance and repair, and single loc replacement. Other hair services include two strand twist, silk press, color work, hi and lo lights, color tips, color rinses and steam or deep conditioning treatments.

Education is a major part of the salon. Options include a Look and Learn course, a live-stream version of it, a four-hour hands-on class in a single technique, a one-week hands-on apprenticeship in the salon and one-on-one internship classes with Damian Walter. The salon also sells a range of hair care products and loc and curl supplies for home care.

Booking details come from the salon's booking page. Several services ask for a phone call first, including color extraction and recolor, interlocking and starter locs, where a free consultation is requested. A 60% deposit confirms an appointment, and cancellations made at least 24 hours ahead are eligible for a refund. Those inside 24 hours are not refunded. The salon also runs a loyalty program and sells service packages bought in bulk for later use.

The salon takes a holistic approach and aims to give each client top-quality, attentive and respectful care.

A cozy, intimate salon with soothing music, calming scents and warm decor.
