Sharon Finlayson hair appointment 26/03/15 at 6pm

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.

I happened to be wandering past and saw they had a 'drop-by' offer for the day. I walked in and was offered a spot straight away for a cut and finish for a fantastic price. My hairdresser Michaela was lovely and did a fantastic job -very pleased with my stroll down queens road!

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.

This is my third visit and my first colour, my stylist Jess has been so helpful and worked with me to get a great cut and a bold but sophisticated colour. I always get great service and advice with every visit. All the staff are very friendly and professional,the atmosphere is happy and busy yet very relaxing, especially the head massage with a hair wash! Overall the salon makes a haircut an enjoyable experience, I go away feeling pampered and polished!

Cut and Blow Dry from Yan was divine

A lovely experience from start to finish. Friendly, helpful staff who communicate every step of the way with you. I was greeted with magazines and a cappuccino, then a thorough consultation with Yan who really got a good understanding of what I wanted from the appointment, and gave advice as to how we could achieve it. I had a relaxing massage during the hair wash (massage chair a bonus!) and then the best haircut I've had in years. Yan was meticulous in making sure the cut was perfect and I'm really happy with the result. Another lovely girl styled my hair in loose curls and gave me some pointers on how I could achieve the look at home. The Aveda products are lovely too. Great salon atmosphere, would highly recommend. Booked online and received 25% discount as it was my first visit but I'm so happy with my hair I will be coming back. I've paid twice the price in London salons for nowhere near as good a service so I'm really pleased I tried somewhere different.

I was really impressed with the service I received. My hair dresser is always very attentive.
My only issue is the fact that my hair looks stripy - I hoped the highlights would be thinner and blend a little better. It's more noticeable when I tie my hair up.

The hair wash was not that good. As soon as the shampoo was on without massage or even rubbing in it was just washed off, twice. I felt I had not had my hair washed. Pricey for not a proper hair wash.

I was supposed to and was told I would definately get 25% off my first visit.(It's an offer they have on at the moment) They asked me about 3 times and I said yes this is my first visit. When I came to pay they charged me the full amount! Wasn't going to say anything in a full salon! Hmmm not impressed! Aside from this my hair is fabulous and everyone seemed very pleasant.

I never thought much of going to the hairdresser. I obviously saw it as a treat but that was it. Everyon at Yan treats you amazingly. You can havr your hair washed with a choice of messages. They offer you drinks. Most importantly, that pay such great attention to your hair. My hair has never been treated with such care and respect. Was a bit pricey at first, but it sure is worth the money. Also, you can find some pretty good offers. Can't wait for my hair to grow so I can get it cut again, and who knows, maybe even something extra!

Excellent service from Chantelle - always listens to what I want and does a good cut. However I was disappointed with the hair wash and head massage - a young bloke with facial hair and glasses did mine and he spent most of the te massaging my ears! It also felt like he kept falling asleep! Other than that, great as always.

Hi Pam, Thank you for your feedback, we can book you in with someone in a lower price range next time, when you are ready for your next cut just call and ask for one of the lower price ranges. All the girls have been trained by our Yan academy, the price just goes on their experience and years with us and some guests prefer to have the higher price, so dont worry about not being able to come back to us. We look forward to seeing you soon.
