Whilst back up North I had the great idea to get my hair cut. Well it's meant to be cheap up here,…read moreisn't it? So like any good little Yelper I searched for hairdressers in my locality of Leeds (I'm not crazy enough to try closer Bradford). Jam Hair's 4 star and above reviews and £21 for a haircut sold it to me, but now I see that they were written in 09 and I'm thinking that I should have been paying a bit more attention. Bad little Yelper. When I called for an appointment the only hairdressers available were £27 and £29 respectively... well still O.K I thought, so I went ahead and booked. Unfortunately when I arrived I was greeted with about as much enthusiasm as if I had just walked in and tried to sell double glazing. With an interior ecchoing a cross between Crystal Maze's 'Future' zone and a scene from Dallas, I was beginning to wonder what I'd let myself in for. The customer service did pick up as my hairdresser, Simon, was lovely and chatty and not too overbearing, but his technique was unfortunately not as good as his chit chat. I have quite a mane of hair and asked for layering and a swept side fringe, all of which he gave me, yet there was still that certain something missing. It just looks rather, well... f... l... a... t... Which is a shame and perhaps acceptable at £21, but you really hope for more for £29 cut. In more professional salons, they've also attempted more elaborate blowdrying for a similar price, but here it was similar to what I can manage by washing it with Fairy Liquid on a camping trip and letting dry in the Northerly winds. If I'd have asked for a Kate Bush maybe I'd have liked it. But I didn't. They seemed to stock most Kérastase products, but unfortunatley none were recommended to me so I left empty handed. Perhaps Jam Hair would be fine if you do manage to book a £21 hairdresser and just need a trim, but on the whole, this salon didn't leave the greatest of impressions.

Jam Hair's staff cut modern and contemporary styles as well a sophisticated tussles and edgy pixie crops. What ever it is you are after you can guarantee the finished result will look straight out of vogue magazine.Forget Toni and Guy who cut the same trend cuts, Jam Hair is the place to be! The salon uses the latest equipment from Kerestace products, to GHD curlers and straighteners. A dodgy hair cut from here is just not possible. You pay for quality at the salon with a cut costing £16-£30 depending on the style. I personally feel hair is a very important part of an image and therefore is worth spending a bit of cash on!! I try not to be superficial, but what I just adore about Jam Hair is the decor, furnishings and lighting. Some say it's pretentious but I love it. It is hard to distinguish weather it is a nightclub or hairdressers as you drive past some days. The atmosphere is moody with dark lighting broken up by barred neon lights creating an almost Matrix like feel. As well as being a fashionable setting is it sophisticated and gives us ladies a real feeling of being pampered!

Mel Harrison is a Unisex salon just outside the centre of Leeds. It has a very swanky interior, is…read morepristine inside, and looks like it is run by a perfectionist. This is nice to know if you are going to have your hair cut! Too many times I have heard horror stories of dye going wrong or cuts that are too short, ending in tears. But it seems hard to imagine that taking place here. The lady I spoke to was really nice and very polite and seemed to really listen to what I had to say. Mens cuts start at £11 and womens at £13.75

After a few minutes of slight awkwardness I am taken to my chair, offered a drink and begin to feel well attended to. The stylist talks me through want I want to have done and then one of the juniors washes my hair and gives me a scalp massage in the process, which is always my favourite part of getting my hair cut. The stylist cut my hair quickly while chatting politely about holidays and the weather, the standard topics covered in a hair salon. I was very pleased with the cut and blow dry and it was reasonably priced. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, the salon is clean and the décor simple and bright. Although initially the staff were not overtly friendly by the end of the visit they were so jovial and friendly that I would recommend a trip to this salon. http://beautytruthsnotuglylies.blogspot.com/

I was surprised that it was solely filled with male hairdressers (although looking at their website it appears that there are women that work here), but Russel did wonders with my hair (he's single, ladies) and gave me a very funky hair cut that looked awesome on the slopes! The only problem around here is parking. the streets are always rammed!

Had a bit of a strange experience with the stylist who was quite abrupt and rather unfriendly towards Customers. She made a bit of a hash of my fringe and I had to go back the next day, she argued that I had only asked her to cut half of my fringe (me thinks not) and then said it was too short, which it so isn't. She did rectify it for me and now the over all cut is pretty good. Still bemused as to how the confusion arose and maybe I did play some part in it somehow... The price was extra cheap as I said and I think I may go back but will maybe seek out a different girl as my experience was quite odd last time, still was only £13.95and the place was nice and clean and tidy, maybe not a bang tidy result though hahaha!
