The best products, expert training, a friendly team alongside late night opening and teaching you how to recreate the salon style at home are all part of the service at Yan Hair.

The continued success of the salon is based on the simple principle that whether it’s your first, or your hundredth visit the service will make you want to come back again and again. As the team say “We don’t just want people to love their hair but also the experience.”

The salon is open six days a week, including late nights until 8pm on Wednesday and Thursday.

I needed a change but wasn't really sure. My hairdresser (I think it was Amber) was really attentive and made sure I liked it every step of the way. She cut and styles it very well and gave me tips to maintain it. I loved it, would definitely go back.

First visit to Yan Hair was amazing. What a difference to other local premier salons. Everybody was so friendly and committed. Mihaela gave me the best blonde highlights I have ever had. She is a talented and friendly stylist.

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!

My only complaint was I arrived before 6pm for my appointment and had to wait another 15 minutes. I had a long, bob hair cut with Michaela. I haven't seen her before, but she was extremely good. I found her to be very attentive, quiet and friendly. Overall she did a very good job and I am pleased with the result. I would definitely use Michaela again.

First time at Yan's. Lucky I made the phone call today and lucky I was given an appointment an hour later with Mihaela. I was impressed, not least by her composure after I'd told her it had been two years since my last haircut. I'm pretty sure that it was obvious to her though, that I'd been hacking at it myself from time to time, and she didn't laugh at that, not out loud anyway. Mostly though, she did a very good job on my very "bad hair". Make sure you keep her at Yan.
