Always happy with my hair when I leave Yans, and stress free, bringing in the massages for neck/shoulders & hands is blissful. Look forward to my next visit ????

All the staff at Yan's are friendly and professional. They go out of their way to make sure your visit is relaxing. I have 2 little boys who are also made welcome and have their hair cut with care and patience. The lovely Chantelle cuts all of our hair fabulously!

we are unhappy that you did not enjoy your initial experience but that Claire could be of assistant here after. We work very hard to ensure high standards of service is given to each and every guest, which is why it is very upsetting to read a review like yours. I can assure you that we will work on all points given in your review. It is sad that you feel the need to leave us, but we wish you well where ever you may go. Tracy Grant. Salon Coordinator.

The best salon in town!

Left the salon feeling wonderful as always. The lovely Mihaela was ever so professional and polite. She listened to exactly what I wanted & left me with a gorgeous wavy blow dry with lots of volume that lasted for days! Even the young lad (Tom?) who washed my hair did an excellent job & almost put me to sleep with his relaxing head massage! All the staff at Yan are well-trained & incredibly professional at all times, which is what makes Yan Hair THE best salon in town by far!

Had my hair cut by ******* a few weeks ago and despite showing a picture and explaining how I like my hair it was a complete disaster. I was left with a Lego hair complete with blocky, lumpy and poorly shaped areas. The back was left with a 'step' in it and no shape.

I have been back and it has been made better by Claire, though ******* tried to blame my hair being straight (???). No refund offered for my time and the fact I had to wait a week for it to be fixed.

I shan't be returning to Yan and would not recommend it to anyone else.

Just been and had a cut and blow dry with Chantelle at Yans. Had a brilliant shampoo from a young ( who's name I've forgotten) man who was extremely polite. Had a good consultation with Chantelle who is is always helpful and listens to what I want. I am very pleased with the result and have booked again. I enjoy going as there is always a nice atmosphere and the staff are lovely.

Was left with hair all over my forehead. This led to an embarrassing exchange of awkward glances between me and 2 stylists behind the counter, who then offered a tissue to remove it. It's not the usual experience I have as I mostly leave with a positive feeling. However, the service was excellent - Kate always greets you with such enthusiasm.

Another faultless service. Claire is an incredibly talented and personable hairdresser who always ensures that my hair looks immaculate and just as I would hope. Always accommodating of my last minute booking, Claire's customer service is exceptional. Despite living a long distance away, the service is always worth the travel. Special thanks to Kate who is always cheerful and incredibly helpful whether that's on the end of the phone or upon entering the salon.

What can I say other than Yan Hair show an obvious understanding for high standards in customer care and professionalism. From the moment I walk through the door there is a friendly welcome at reception and all staff appear to acknowledge with a hello or smile. The experience is always a pleasure, not once have I felt rushed or that I haven't been attended to. Have to also mention that my stylists Yasmine and Jess are genuinely lovely, take great pride/attention in their work and always do a fantastic job with my hair :)!

Can't say before I went to Yan Hair that I would have paid as much for a haircut; however you really do get so much more than a cut!

Ps Oh and that Christmas raffle win for those beautiful Italian biscuits had no influence on this review at all.... Honest ;)

This was my first time at this salon. I have been an Aveda fan since I lived in California a decade ago and have been highlighting my hair in aveda hair salons in the UK for about 4 years now. I asked for partial highlights. The person who did them left me, after she finished the coloring process, in the hands of the super nice yet extremely unprofessional assistant. She was called every time to check how things are. She was not happy so different things were applied to my hair over and over. My scalp burned and at the end I have dry hair, no highlights, light color at he top near the roots and a dark color for the rest of the hair. Horrid. First time in a decade that I left a hairsalon unhappy.

We are extremely unhappy that you did not enjoy your visit to our salon. I have tried to look into your situation but have no record of a Katherine having visited our salon as a new client at any time this year. If you could contact the salon and speak to myself I would be happy to find out more about your visit.
Yan hair has been hairdressing professionally for nearly 24 years and our team are trained to a very high standard by Aveda continuously throughout the year so we are up to date on the latest cutting and colouring techniques. Our policy is to make sure that every colour that leaves the salon is to the guest satisfaction and if it is to dark or light we always adjust it immediately if the guest has time or at the earliest convenience. Aveda colour is 96% naturally derived and the hair products are also, they leave the hair and scalp in fantastic condition.

Great salon!

I've been going to yan now for just over a year and my hair is in much better condition! Nicole has been helping me to grow out my fringe and layers and giving advice. Not only is the cut always great but the atmosphere of the salon is friendly and relaxed and you always get pampered with a head massage and massage chair whilst having your hair washed. What more could you want?! I wouldn't go anywhere else.

It was my first time at Yan Hair but definitely not the last. The atmosphere is lively and very friendly and the lady who cut my hair was very professional and super helpful. She made me feel at ease and showed me a number of pictures of hairstyles when I told her I was unsure about which haircut to try. She was very knowledgeable and made feel comfortable about my choices. Not to mention that I love my hair! All in all great service, great staff, worth the money and will definitely go back.

Had my third cut and blowdry at Yan today by Liss. The whole team do a fantastic job from when you enter to when you leave. Busy but always make you feel special and looked after. The salon is modern and advanced but in no way is the atmosphere pretentious. The hairwash is amazing as massage chairs can be used and the team members who wash the hair give you a lovely head massage. Won't be going elsewhere for a haircut so long as I am in Leicester. Very happy with the cut and the added extras in the salon make it a lovely experience.

I had my first appointment at Yan Hair today and was so impressed with the friendly and considerate staff. I wasn't quite sure which hair dye would show up on my almost jet black hair but the staff helped me decide on a lovely coppery brown and the end result was just gorgeous!
Timing was great , no waiting around for ages and the salon itself is really chic. I definitely will be back again!
