Star treatment every visit

As Always, today's visit left me feeling relaxed and very well looked after. Quite simply, each of the staff do everything they can to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible, which is why I have continued to remain a loyal customer for the last 17 years. Today's hand massage (from Michaela) was an absolute treat and was a great start to my visit. But, without question, it is Claire's skill in making my hair look exactly how I want it to look, her attention to detail and her incredible customer service that means I always leave happy. And, I couldn't leave a review without mentioning the absolutely fabulous Kate who always offers a welcoming smile and ensures that I've had a positive experience.

As always had a great experience at Yan Hair. The shampoo was very relaxing by a young gentleman whose name I missed. But he did a great job and was very friendly. The cut with Jess was excellent. She always gives good advice and recommendations and as always I left the salon loving my hair and looking forward to next appointment.

This was my first visit to a salon in a long time and I felt very nervous walking through the door. However, I needn't have worried as from the first few seconds of being inside, I was made to feel very welcome and my nerves soon disappeared. I loved the massaging chairs and the head massage whilst being shampooed! The stylist, Chantelle, was lovely and gave great advice. The cut was fabulous and I am really happy with the whole experience. So happy that I booked my next appointment before leaving! Can't recommend the salon enough, very good value for money. Thank you.

I saw Nicole today. She was professional and friendly. All I had done was a trim and finish, she did it exceptionally well.
She took enough off the ends to tidy up but not too much - a difficult balance achieved! Always love the massage with the wash!

Today, I had a ladies cut&blow by Jess. She was friendly and professional, and gave me a cut very similar to what I envisaged.
The initial hair wash was on their back-massage chairs - very relaxing. The head massage given whilst conditioner is worked-in was of a good pressure and enhanced the experience.
I received a complementary hand massage, whilst having my hair cut - a lovely free treat.
Also, the complementary coffee tastes delicious and of good quality.

I have been coming to Yan Hair for nearly 7 years now. I have never had a bad experience, and would highly recommend their services. Having moved from Leicester to Nottingham this year, I still drive down to them for a cut - It's worth it!

I had my haircut with Yasmine. She made me feel at ease and done exactly what I wanted.I walked out feeling almost as new. The only downside to the whole experience was having my hair washed by Tom I believe that was apprentice name. Very rough- even after I told him to soften his pressure- im sure he pulled few of my hair that had no intention of falling out yet:/
Tom- you need better practice with your techniques!

Yan greeted me on arrival and immediately put me at ease. He listened to my needs and thoughts about my hair and heard me and offered solutions. My wash was lovely - really well done with lots of checks on how I was feeling without sounding scripted, and thanks for the hand massage Tom.

I love my cut. Yan to time and care and explained everything he was doing. I think it looks great.

Katie was wonderful when she checked me out and made my next booking. Thank you all. Looking forward to my next visit.

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.

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!

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!
