First time to Yans after using a previous salon that I was very unhappy with.
Nicole I can't thank enough for the job you have done. It's just the colour I want and you have made me love my hair again and get back into great condition.
Was so polite and helpful and gave me lots of tips and advice.
Look forward to coming again next month. Truly grateful!

I've been thinking about a much shorter style for a while. Yan listened to me, offered some great suggestions and made sure my hair would work with the new style. After a relaxing hair wash with scalp massage, off we went, with tea and reassurance offered! Some very skillful cutting and a great finish later, I have a fantastic new style and lots of compliments. I recommend this salon. I'm a returning customer and will be back again. Relaxed and stylish salon.

Another lovely trip to Yan's. Great wash and head massage and a fantastic cut as ever from Yan - who listens ,discusses and takes time to make sure I understand what he will be doing with my hair. He also makes sure I understand how to style it myself once I'm home.
And he makes me laugh outrageously during the process!
Always leave feeling (and looking) better than I did when I went in. What more can you ask for?!

I put my hair in Yan's hands this afternoon on the eve of a party to celebrate a "significant" birthday. I have to say I am delighted with the results and feel "party ready". We were chatting about life and everything, and I recalled how he'd helped me to get "wedding ready" almost 25 years ago. So I am a loyal customer, and can't recommend the salon highly enough. All the staff make you feel welcome and cared for. It is a delightful experience!

I had my hair highlighted, cut and blowdried by Jess and it was by far the best time I've ever had at a hairdressers. I've been having a few problems with my hair and recent haircuts at other salons, and Jess listened so well to everything I said and took it all on board, she gave me a really personalised experience and was really friendly too (as were all the staff!).

I'm feeling so confident with my hair now, all the hairdressers seemed knowledgeable and Yan will definitely become my regular salon from now on! The massage chair while you're getting your hair washed is such a treat as well. With a student discount this is definitely good value, thanks Yan salon!

It's really good, everyone is really nice. Slightly annoyed about colour of my hair when I ask not to have a red shade in the hair dye, it does look good but just the matter of principle. Couple of strands of my hair wasn't cut the same length as the rest of them, didn't notice as I opt in to curl my hair.

A great experience for my 11 daughter. She was spoken to as a 'grown up' yet mum was allowed to be involved until the offer of a drink and a few minutes to herself called. My daughter was happy chatting with the friendly and professional staff and she even won the battle of the fringe having asked advice from her stylist.
Well done!

Hi I have had my hair coloured With you 4 times and come in very regularly to by aveda products.
On the last 3 occasions I was charged the same price for the same amount of work but when I had my hair coloured on Monday, I was going to be charged £75 instead of my usual £35.
In my consultation I made it very clear that I wanted exactly what amber did the last time I came in because I loved it so much. The stylist had a copy of what Amber had done in her hand so it should of been clear what was required.
Upon paying I was asked to pay £75. I was shocked at this and was initially told that you had a price increase. I don't mind price increases but over 100%?
I was then told that you've had a new system put in and Amber had not charged me for certain services that you provided on Monday, if this is the case then how come my bill was vertually the same on 3 seperate occasions? That's not a one off mistake.
In the end you charged me £61.50 and told me you were not going to cha

Hi Lucy Firstly apologies for the confusion over your colour payment. I have gone through your records to ensure I understand the situation and the discrepancy between payments. It appears on the 3 previous occasions you were grossly under charged for the colour services you received. This stylist is no longer with us so I am unable to speak to her to find out why you were charged for a basic regrowth colour, 3 times, instead of a colour with highlights/ Ombre, which is the service you received on those occasions.
The correct charge for the service you have received is £71 and on 3 occasions you have been charged incorrectly.
I hope this clarifies the situation for you and thank you for your feedback,
Kindest Regards Robert

My stylist was friendly and lovely to chat to, at first I was happy with my hair but the more I looked at it after I got home the more I realised it was definitely not worth the 111 pounds I paid as it did not look like what I asked for and my friends said they couldn't even tell a difference in the colour of my hair, which is not what you expect to hear after spending that much money. Great service and atmosphere though.
