Why We Made the Switch to EVO: A Fresh Chapter in Sustainable Hair Care

At Salon deZEN, hair care has always been about more than what happens in the chair. It’s about the choices we make, the values we uphold, and the way we care for both people and the planet.

So when it came time to evaluate the products we use every day, we asked ourselves an important question: are they still the best fit for who we are now?

For years, Kevin Murphy has been a trusted partner, and we’re grateful for the innovation and creativity they brought to our salon. But as deZEN has grown, so has our vision. We knew it was time to align with a brand that not only delivers incredible results but also mirrors our eco-conscious, community-driven culture. That’s why we’re excited to welcome EVO.

EVO is bold, transparent, and refreshingly real. Their products are vegan, cruelty-free, and packaged in fully recyclable materials. Their formulas perform beautifully without unnecessary extras, which means what you put on your hair is clean, effective, and thoughtfully made.

For us, the alignment was undeniable. At deZEN, we’ve already embraced initiatives like our refill bar, SalonCycle recycling, and Ecoheads water-saving technology. EVO’s ethos amplifies our own commitment to sustainability and authenticity.

You’ll notice the difference right away — not only in the health and longevity of your color and style but in the experience of using products that are simple, effective, and easy to integrate into your daily routine.

We look back on our years with Kevin Murphy with appreciation. But as with all evolutions, sometimes the next step simply feels right. EVO represents where deZEN is today: fresh, authentic, and deeply committed to both artistry and sustainability.

We can’t wait for you to try it and to feel the difference for yourself.

Book your next appointment today at Salon deZEN to help you fall in love with your hair again!
