Really enjoyed my latest experience at Yan. I felt like Jess really understood what to do with my hair even though it was the first time she had done it. She talked me through what she was doing and what products she was using and the benefits for my hair. The massage chairs were appreciated as always. I think Yan is quite pricey but you do feel pampered.

I have long hair and wanted to get a V cut. I have decided to choose this salon, as I knew I will get what I pay for! I showed Claire picture of the cut I want and she cut my hair exactly like it, together with the final finish! My hair looks amazing! Very happy!

From arrival, I was treated well - offered a drink on a number of different occasions to and tended to by several members of staff. Very relaxing massaging chairs while having hair washed. Cut of hair was good, staff were friendly, price was good. Can't really ask for much more from a visit to the local salon!

A lovely relaxing morning spent having hair coloured, with Amber.
Amber was professional courteous and attentive throughout.Amber listened to what I wanted and gave sound advice that was welcomed on both colour and after care.
I look forward to returning in a few weeks, knowing that a warm friendly welcome awaits.

9 years of hairstyling by Yan has taken all the stress out of haircuts. I am happy to trust his advice and am never disappointed. I particularly like that he knows I do not want to spend much time on my hair and cuts it accordingly.

I booked myself in for a colour, when I was booking I was not aware I was paying extra for my hair to be dried! I was unknowly booked for a blow dry aswell! It was only when I came to pay I was advised I have had a blow dry! I'm absolutely disgusted by this and really disappointed as Michealla gave me fantastic service, but I am not returning to your Salon! I feel ripped off.

Thank you for your feedback Harpreet, it is unfortunate that you feel you were mislead on the issue of your blow dry, i can assure you if there was a miscommunication on whether you wanted a blow dry it was not done with any intention to upset you. Our policy when having a colour is that your hair has to be dried in one way or another so that you can see for yourself if this is acceptable before you leave the salon. we do strive to get all staff to communicate this when talking to clients and we are disappointed that you feel that this was not communicated enough to you on this occasion. Thank You.

I am always wary of trying new hairdressers. My aunt has been going here regularly for years and she suggested I try it out. It was a great experience. My hairdresser Amber was friendly and attentive and made sure my hair was done to how I liked it and even gave suggestions as to what would suit me. The whole atmosphere was great and I will definitely be going back there for my next hair cut. I booked online and it was so easy to process through, really recommend Yan Hair for anybody!

I love my visits to Yan. As a mum to a 16 month old it's one of the few times I can properly relax. I love the massage chair and amazing head massage after my hair wash. Chats and coffee over my haircut are a great way to spend an hour, with amazing looking hair at the end of it!

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.

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.

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.

Awkward

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.
