Andrew Evans

Specializing in: Modern Color & Haircuts

Bio: Andrew is one of those people that, upon meeting, you immediately feel comfortable with. After working in the industry for the past six years, he not only has learned cutting-edge styling techniques, but also superb customer service that keeps his clients coming back. As an apprentice at Salon Fusion in South Bend, Indiana he not only acquired a knack for modernizing the everyday haircut, but also learned how to incorporate cutting-edge color into these cuts to make the hair unmistakably modern. After his apprenticeship he went on to train with Toni & Guy, Goldwell, Oscar Bond and the renowned Alby Jacobson. But he doesn’t plan on stopping there, since education, to him, is one of the key ingredients to being a successful hair stylist. Even though he started working at Above Ground less than a month ago, he has proven himself to be one of the best we’ve had so far.
