I've been going to YY for around 7 years and would follow Nick and Robert anywhere…read more Nick is a color genius and knows how to get my platinum blonde highlights perfect, without any brassiness or yellow. Robert has surgical precision with his haircuts, and despite my extra challenging hair (fine, thin, weird waves), he always makes it look and feel thicker, healthier, and beautifully styled. Beyond their incredible talent, the atmosphere at YY is always welcoming. Michael, who handles the front desk, is so friendly and kind. I love the entire team here. From the moment you step in, the staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. If you're looking for a salon that truly invests in your hair's health and style, I recommend YY highly.

I feel bad for leaving a bad review but i am going to attach pictures so you can see the disaster they did to my hair. I had HEALTHY LONG BEAUTIFUL hair! I just wanted to cut a little bit the ends. She cut maybe half my hair off, and did some curls. BIG MISTAKE. IF YOU GET A HAIRCUT SEE IT FIRST WITH STRAIGHT HAIR. i left the salon kinda annoyed they cut more than what i originally wanted but it looked good. Two days later i washed my hair and with STRAIGHT hair i ALMOST CRIED when i saw the TERRIBLE HAIRCUT. It looks like i cut it myself in the bathroom with the f lights off. I do not recommend this place at all.

I had the Liscio Japanese straightening treatment done on my medium-length coarse, wavy hair. After having had the BioIonic Japanese straightening treatment done 15 years ago, a Brazilian blowout done in '22, & Keratin treatments from '22-24, I decided to go with the Japanese straightening treatment because of the permanency, resistance to humidity, & ease of styling. I literally wash my hair, a quick blow dry & maybe one pass with a flat iron & I'm good for a week. As a mother of a two-year-old, it makes me feel like myself/put together, but does not take time away from my daily routine with my son. I'd rather be spending time with him than standing in front of the mirror running a flat iron through my hair endlessly. I did my research to see who currently offers this treatment here in Richmond. I found three places: Flirt Salon in Cary Town, a salon in the West End that requires a deposit paid at the consultation BEFORE scheduling the actual service (what the heck - they only have one person that does the treatment there, so if that person were to fall ill or get injured on the job, you would've wasted your time and perhaps have to lobby for your deposit back- no thank you!), & then a third place that had very poor reviews. I reached out to Vada, she communicated with me to answer all of my questions and I felt very confident about getting the service done with her. I consider it an investment and wanted to make it worth my while. I have high expectations, I knew exactly what I wanted, and I notice every detail when it comes to my hair. She exceeded my expectations. Vada is not only professional and highly skilled - she's been doing hair for 30 years - but she is also very personable and genuinely cares about her clients. It was a great experience from start to finish. I'm absolutely in love with my hair. Vada is wonderful and I can't recommend her salon enough.

I've had Sommer Chater as my hair stylist twice: the first time she gave me a cut and style, the…read moresecond time she gave me highlights and style. Sommer is clearly well-experienced. It is obvious that she puts the clients' needs and wants first. This was the first time I had ever gotten my hair colored in any capacity, so I was extremely nit-picky and nervous. Sommer handled my hair very gently and carefully. She made me feel extremely comfortable by thoroughly explaining how she would go about the highlighting process. I loved the results. I'm actually going back to Sommer next month for another color job! The salon itself is very beautiful. The inside is always clean, and front desk staff has always been friendly. The decor is chic and welcoming. The ambiance is relaxing and fresh.

NOT THE PLACE FOR CURLY HAIR!!…read more Unfortunately I feel heavy writing this review but it's the truth. If you have curly hair , THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. I went to Alana Kai Salon on Thursday to get a blow dry (wash + blow dry). My natural hair is curly however, I have done the Brazilian back in January which mean the only curly part I have is the roots. It's not a lot or thick. In other salons my hair was done within 30 minutes because majority of the hair is already straight. Since I had a wedding on Friday in another state and my flight was the first thing in the morning. I requested a simple blow dry. The process took 2 hours. The blow dryer in my opinion did not have enough heat to make my hair straight (roots). In my opinion the stylist was focusing on the bottom part (which was already straight). She also said my hair was thick (which it is not)I had to tell the stylist multiple time to focus on blow drying the roots because I was able to see the fizziness. Her response is that she's worried about being too close to the scalp and won't have much volume. As anyone with curly hair knows this is expected when straightening hair. I was fed up because at the end a simple task was done without me being at ease. It was frustrating constantly telling the stylist to focus on certain part. If I did it to myself I would have been at ease and saved money. The stylist was nice but I was done, and couldn't have the heart to tell her anything. I had to leave and fix it on my own.
