They were able to get me in the next day and Clarissa did a fantastic job with my hair. I went from long to a bob and it's super cute! I love it! Definitely recommend! read more

It's been 6 years since I started this review and I just now found I hadn't remembered to complete it... but I sure remember the worst haircut of my life! I just wanted some layers... I think I was the girls first haircut. Swore I was on the show "what would you do"!? Wish I could remember her name... but I wouldn't post it anyway. Just hope she's found a new career path since then. Hair isnt it! read more

I used to go to the Green Hills location before it closed so I switched to Hillsboro since it was closer. I picked a stylist based on the online profiles so it was a gamble but I wasn't disappointed. Kayla is great! I show her a picture of the style and cut I want, she asks a few questions, and then I come out looking exactly like the photo! She does a great job of really making sure it's the right length and style. She does a great job at styling my hair after the cut too. Once on the fly I asked if she could tone down my highlights to match my natural color more and she nailed it. I walked out with beautiful chocolate color highlights to match my dark brown hair. I loved it so much I'm getting it done again next time. She always recommends great products and tools that I can purchase at the shop. I've walked away with shampoo, conditioner, brushes, heat protector spray, and hair spray. They've got options for every kind of hair type. My appointments are always on time too. A lot of times places can run late and then you're waiting forever to get in but that hasn't been the case yet for me. read more

My sister went in for a color. She brought in her inspiration photo and one of the stylists started working on her and didn't even get her color CLOSE to what she wanted. She came home in tears her hair looks so bad. It looks nothing like what she wanted and then he was making her pay to fix the mistakes!!! Unacceptable. As a professional you need to let clients know beforehand if you're not comfortable taking on a color. And if you EFF it up, fix it for free. He told her he would have to charge her to fix it. Considering she paid for a days worth of colors already and still has hair nowhere near what she wants. It looks dull, flat, and absolutely not what she wanted. We will be calling and asking for a refund. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

Salon Ya Ya - What she wanted and what she got. Patchy dye job, uneven coloring, no brightness. And she was charged for this - Hair Salons Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Been going to KerryLynn for about a year and love, love, love her cuts! Totally professional with a personal touch. A 20/10! ~Google Vendor

My roommate and I came in to see Katie, and she did an amazing job on both of us! I wanted a face-framing/curtain bangs look with plenty of layers and she nailed it. Katie was super nice and easy to talk to, and I couldn't recommend her enough! read more

It's been awhile since my last visit but I only have good things to say about this place. A friend recommended Haley but when she wasn't available I ended up with Evin. I was a bit nervous as my long hair is a large part of my identity but knew that I had a lot of dead weight that needed to be cut off. Evin did a fantastic job at listening and even left more length than I had expected while still giving me a refreshed look! The staff there is very friendly and accommodating and never made me feel out of place. I'm looking forward to going back! read more

Salon Ya Ya - Hair Salons Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've been coming here for 5 years but not anymore, the fact that it's September 2021 and the are STILL using covid as an excuse is pathetic. If you have business hours posted, that should be your business hours. Don't say "Because of covid we don't know when a stylists will be in". You've had OVER A YEAR now to figure it out like everyone else already has. Called 10 times in one day to schedule an appointment and never an answer. read more

I've already gushed twice here about my girl Reyna's awesome abilities to cut and highlight hair, and all of that remains true. But now I'm going to tell you all about her other special talent of getting rid of unwanted hair... facial hair! I don't know about you, but whenever Spring rolls around, I tend to feel a bit... grizzly. Like a bear coming out of hibernation, I often find I've let my personal grooming get a bit lax and could use a bit of sprucing up. I've never been one to get very intense about my brows, I generally just like a bit of subtle shaping and tidying up, no tinting or intense makeovers on that front. When I went in for my most recent hair appointment, I asked Reyna if she could also whip my brows back into shape and take care of my upper lip too. Even though I hadn't booked this ahead, it wasn't a problem, as she speedily defuzzed my face, giving my brows the much-needed primping that they needed. My eye area is really sensitive, but with Reyna at the helm, it was a quick and (relatively) painless process. Plus, for $17, this might be one of the best deals in town! (FYI: Upper lip wax was $13.) I'm sure there are some benefits to going to a wax-dedicated salon if you have fancy (or intimate!) waxing needs, but for ladies who like to multi-task, I just wanted to point out that Salon Ya Ya is a great option for those who'd like to get all their hair needs looked after in a single visit. Now that all of my hair is back under control, I feel like a spring chicken ready to strut! read more

I'm new in the area and I was in need of a trim. I looked up "black hair salon", saw Salon YaYa, and all the great reviews. I called to make an appointment for a wash, trim, and color. I specifically asked if the salon had a stylist who knew how to do black hair and I was assured they had one. I was told the appointment was for slotted for two hours and there may not be enough time for color, which I was fine with. When I arrived I met my stylist who assured me she would be able to color, wash, blow dry, and trim my hair in two hours. This was the beginning of an awful appointment. I came into the salon with dry, curly, unclean hair. She used a flatiron to straighten my hair, then started trimming in. It was extremely poofy. I have always had stylists wash, blow dry, flat iron, then trim my hair. Afterwards, she set the color in and by the time she washed it out we hit the two hour time limit. I reminded the stylist I was on a time crunch, she promised two hours, and I couldn't afford to be late. She started to blow dry my hair using her fingers to detangle my 3C curly hair. This was when I knew she had never worked on black hair. Towards the end I took the blow dryer, flat iron, and tried to finish my hair. By the time I left we hit three hours and my hair was a mess. I left putting my hair in a bun. I felt like I was lied to when I called asking if they had someone who could do black hair and I was given an inexperienced stylist. All the coupons I received can't undo the horrific hair cut I received. read more

Salon ya ya rules. Been going there for years. I've become good friends with Courtney and Reyna- such good friends that I actually alternate back & forth between the two of them. Gotta share the love! And dudes- don't be afraid. Don't think "it doesn't matter" when it comes to guys' hair. I mean, if you're getting a buzz cut, sure- might as well do that yourself, but anything that requires skill- these ladies will hook you up and give you just as much attention as they do the fancy girl-dos. read more

Great hidden place in the basement of the office building across the street from Harris Teeters on 21st. Got a simple 6-inch "trim" by Sarah who threw in some free advice on how to curl my hair the right way and just the right amount of friendly convo. With the $10 coupon off of Yelp, this place is a bargain for people who don't like to spend too much time and money on hair. (But it also appears to be popular with people who love their hair too.) The only downside is that I felt like I couldn't leave without a being suckered into buying a bottle of expensive hair product. read more

I moved to Nashville in October from Chicago and Yelp lead me to Salon Ya Ya. It was a good choice and I haven't been to another salon in Nashville. My major concern was someone being able to tame and style my thick, coarse hair. Danielle was up to the challenge and has done a fantastic job so I keep going back! The location is convenient, but it is not the most open or airy place being almost underground. However, the owners have done a good job with the space. Danielle, and the staff in general, are so warm and welcoming. You get the service of any high end salon without the pretentiousness. I like how Danielle is always telling me what she is using and at the end when I'm checking out she shows me all the products that touched my hair that day. It's a nice way to take note of new things that one might want to try out. (And they are not pushy about you buying products you really don't need) Men don't be scared of this place. If you like to have your hair longer than a buzz cut then this might be a really good option for you. They have good prices and great quality service. Check it! read more

Love this Salon. The stylists are professional and always complete a full consultation during an appointment. Quenton has been my stylist here for over a year. I could not be happier with the color, cut and condition of my hair. read more

Salon Ya Ya - Hair Salons Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I went in to Salon Ya Ya today for a haircut and all-over color. I called them at about 10:15 this morning to see if they had anything available today since I'm going to a wedding in Las Vegas this week and wanted the color to tone itself down just a little bit by then. They got me in just 30 minutes later with Danielle who did an awesome job. She made sure to really listen to what I wanted and made suggestions that she thought would work for me. I have naturally curly hair, and it's difficult to find someone who can cut AND style it without it turning into a huge fuzzy mess, but Danielle did an outstanding job! She made sure to talk me through everything she was doing so there were no surprises. The only qualms I had with the salon are that the color was a little pricey (though I understand because my hair is thick and long) and they don't take AmEx, which is something that would've been very useful to know beforehand. read more

Terrific haircut -- worth $36 if I were on either one of the Coasts but not sure if it was worth the money for a guy's haircut in Nashville. The first time I stopped by, I wasn't able to get in but the receptionist offered me a 9am appointment the next day... too early for me! Called the next day and Marilyn made an appointment for me that afternoon. Turns out she's the owner and only works every other Saturday, so I think I was lucky. She took the time to talk with me about what I wanted and executed to perfection. Being the owner Marilyn got pulled away for a couple of distractions during the cut, mostly to provide advice to the other stylists. She was so friendly and accommodating, I didn't really find it much of a problem. It also showed she places a high emphasis on training her employees. She even got the receptionist in on the discussion about my hair. All the products in the salon are Redkin if that makes a difference. When I was paying, the receptionist had a basket of the shampoo, gel, etc. used on my hair that day and asked if I wanted to buy them, but didn't seem to mind when I said no. To me that's a big plus compared to other high-end places that really try to push $30 shampoo down your throat on the way out. The stylists really try to develop a clientele. One of them was writing thank-you notes as I left. As a final FYI, the salon is located on the ground floor and entered through the parking garage. And they don't take AmEx. read more

I went to Salon Yaya yesterday for the first time. Let me preface this review by explaining how terrified I am of going to a new hairdresser. My senior year of high school, I went to a new place, asked for a chin length cut, and to my horror the buzzers suddenly appeared at the back of my head and it was too late to stop. So now, 9 years later and I finally have long hair again, I am VERY protective of it. Keri Lyn did my cut and highlights, and she was extremely prompt, professional, listened to me and followed my wishes. She is friendly and attentive, and I now have a new true hairdressing love in my life. Yay! The entire staff was cool, they are not competitive or gossipy, it was just laid back, clean, and professional. She paid great attention to my needs, and I will no doubt be returning. read more

All I can say is they just keep getting better, great service, awesome customer service and a very friendly staff. Kira has cut my hair three times and she is amazing, my hair still looks good several weeks after each cut. Great producty advice and does give you a sales pitch. Love it! This is it!!! read more

I had a great experience at Salon Ya Ya & I would definitely recommend my Stylist Issy. Issy gave me the cutest cut & a perfectly blended balayage. Issy listened carefully to what I was trying to explain; & she knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you Issy. See you again soon! read more

Fantastic haircut!! If you're a guy who cares about how they present themselves and don't want to break the bank this is the place for you. Great stylist and a very male friendly environment. read more

Salon Ya Ya has now rescued my hair not once but TWICE, with two different stylists trimming and coloring my 'do that ended up less than stellar somewhere else. (I'm a little too much of a coward to express dissatisfaction in a hairdo.. but hey, it's led me to Salon Ya Ya, so it's all good.) I've now seen Tori a few times for cuts only, and I'm really looking forward to having color done by her. She's been very honest with me about the condition of my hair ... which when I went in for the first time, was not good. :D She cut off all the dead parts - which was a lot. But it looked great when I walked out of there, and also looked great the other time or so that I've seen her. I like how 'tucked-away' the salon is. The salon has actually turned me on to some great Redken products too (like the spray wax!), which before I didn't have a ton of faith in. read more

Ali gave me an awful cut. I told her I didn't like it, she said I shouldn't pay, that she'd check in with me in a few days. I still hated it. On the phone I said it was fair to pay her something for her time. (I should have never paid). I was charged the MAX amount for a cut. I had expected the lower range, about $30. I called back asking for a refund. Back and forth and back and forth and a month later I still have a cut that looks like a kid took a kitchen scissors to a barbie that I paid over $60 for. Everyone was very nice! I'll say that. read more

I've been here two different times now. The first was just a cut and second a cut and color. Haley does amazing wok and is always more then willing to answer all of my questions!! read more

I spent a year trying different salons until I read about this place on yelp. The location is very convenient if u work at Vanderbilt and Reyna my sylist is awesome. She is a fun person and always listens to what I want done and does a great job. she Also does free bang trims between cuts! read more

All I can say is Haley makes me look and feel like a Rock Star!!! She is awesome and knows just what I want and delivers. When I say make it blue with green and purple she triangles me up and I come out looking fabulous. read more

A few months ago, I wanted to hop on the ombre train. After MUCH turmoil and tragedy (and entirely too much color and damage) from another salon, I ended up in Danielle's chair at Ya Ya. THIS GIRL SAVED MY HAIR. I was completely unhappy with the look the other salon had given me. And I had spent 6 hours in that salon (3 the first time, and 3 to "fix" it the second time), and I was not going back after that. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Danielle via some googling, and I couldn't be happier. She really listened to what I wanted, and she walked me through every step to be sure it was what I wanted. She was super sensitive to what I had already gone through, and I really appreciated that. I get compliments on my hair everyday. People tell me it's the best ombre look they've seen done in Nash. Danielle cut me too, as it was absolutely necessary after all that my hair had been through. She was sensitive to my attachment to the length, but also honest about what needed to be taken off. I was very happy with the cut as well. I'm definitely going back. And I'm only sorry it took me so long to write this review. read more

Kayla is the best. I moved here over 4 years ago and needed a haircut. Someone put me on to Kayla and I won't see anyone else. She's awesome. She's cut my hair probably 35 times and every times been better than the one before. 9999 stars. read more

Everyone knows how nervewracking trying out a new hair stylist can be. I've been going to the same salon for 4 years and for various reasons, but mostly due to location, I decided it was time to start shopping around. I actually found this salon thanks to Yelp and decided to give it a try. It is in an odd location in the basement of a commercial building, but once inside it's pretty cute. Danielle did my cut and color, and in spite of my obvious nerves she was able to talk me through everything and make me feel comfortable. The cut is great, the color brilliant, & the price very affordable. I have gotten more random compliments from strangers on it than I have on my hair in a long time. Will be back! read more

I had my hair cut, styled, and conditioned by Reyna after reading good reviews on Yelp. Reyna did a good job on my hair, and the conditioning treatment left my hair incredibly shiny and smooth. FYI - if you opt for this treatment, it is not the quickie 3-minute VO5 hot oil deal. Expect it to add a good bit of time to your appointment. Ask for a time estimate before you sign up on the spot, as I did, because I was late for a subsequent appointment. This small salon has a convenient location, but since it's located on the ground floor of an office building, the natural light is limited and the ceiling is quite low. It felt like we were hidden down in someone's basement. I wasn't wowed by this salon, and I can't really say why. I moved here from California and was shopping for salons when I went to YaYa. After my visit, I was still shopping. read more

In response to David of Salon Ya Ya's posting: - My hair is shoulder length not mid-back length. There were two stylists present in the salon. Both female. I.e. no David present. - 3 inches of roots does not happen in 10 weeks of growth. I did not ask for the foils, which were 6 not 8; the stylist suggested them. - My appointment was for an all over color NOT color correction and I DID NOT request a color correction but paid for one. - And it wasn't 3 hours, it was 3 hours and 50 minutes for color. Color alone. I just wanted my grow out and grey covered. - My stylist was made aware of my disappointment with the length of time it took. - I am aware that this may have been an out of the ordinary experience however that is why Yelpers use this forum to let other potential customers aware of their experience. I am completely thrilled that Salon Ya Ya reads their reviews on Yelp.com. read more

I've been going to Jaime at Salon Ya Ya for almost a year now. My hair is really thick but she does a great job with making layers that don't look chunky. She offers me suggestions and has done an awesome job each time I've come in! For the amount of time she spends on each cut (at least an hour), I am astonished with the price (~$35). It's really a great deal! Definitely recommend. read more

I am a Belmont student, and I have been to the same horrible hairdresser at home for at least 10 years. Let me just say that Wendy did an excellent job with my hair, and it was the first time I didn't cry after a haircut in years.The price was very affordable, cute atmosphere, and everyone is very friendly. I would absolutely recommend Salon Ya Ya to anyone. read more

I found this lil gem of a spot after a visit to the dentist's office in the same building. I've been in what I call a bad hair cut cycle ever since my former cutter/stylist whatever you want to call it up and moved out of state. I decided to give Ya Ya a call and was surprisingly fit in the same day I called with Marilyn. She did an amazing job and made me feel very welcome. All the girls there are exceptionally friendly. I haven't visited in a while as I've been shaving my head...I'll definitely be back in the future. read more

This was my go-to salon when I was living in Nashville, and I miss Danielle so so much. It's a Redken salon and they do a great job of explaining their products and techniques. The products are pricey but I'm a total fan now! Seriously, all the girls are amazing, but when in doubt- Danielle! Cut, color, style, men's, anything!!! read more

Jamie was absolutely fantastic. First time I have EVER walked out of a salon happy and satisfied.

If I could give 6 stars to this salon, and ESPECIALLY to my stylist Kayla, I would. The salon itself is tucked away yet conveniently located, has ample parking, and offers all of the awesome products that both Redken and Pureology offer. But Kayla- she's a diamond. I recently had a balayage at a different salon and was not pleased with my hair. It wasn't awful, but it was just not what I was expecting. I called Salon YaYa and they were so accommodating and helpful in setting up my appointment. Having Kayla re-do my balayage and give me a fresh trim was like breathing a sigh of relief. My hair is beyond beautiful and better than I ever imagined it could look. She has herself a client for life. read more

This place is great!! Kristin did a total transformation on my hair and kept the perfect balance of fun and professional and updated style for me. She also maintained the integrity of my hair which I feel like is hard to come by. She took her time, was very detailed and talked me through the process so we were sure we were on the same page about the end goal. Convenient location, easy parking, clean, fun atmosphere. Not pushy on sales.. just very realistic and knowledgeable about their craft. Thanks so much!! Can't wait to come back! read more

A lovely and rejuvenating experience. So I am on vacation and decide that my hair is grossly out of whack, probably a month overdue for a good cut. Go to Yelp, see if I can find a highly rated nearby location for a last minute appointment, and find Salon Ya Ya. The first Salon Ya Ya I called apologetically referred me to their second store. It was with trepidation that I made that second call. At first it seemed I'd be shut out, nothing available, but David worked hard to fit me in and set me up with Candace. He told me I would need at least an hour for the personal level of service they give. Actually my ADD side was glad for the warning, because he was right. In a nutshell: - comfortable and sophisticated vibe - solid line of professional products and interesting treats (jewelry, make-up) - comfy chairs at the wash basins - bright but not blinding colors and lighting - clean - genuinely happy people (is that a Nashville thing?) work to serve you - cuts and services priced based on the experience of the professional Candace spent time but more importantly gave her full attention to the state of my hair, the shape of the cut and my face and the whole shibang. She explained what she was doing and why as she went along. The result was perfect according to my criteria: no one noticed I'd had 2.5 inches taken off! read more

Danielle is a god with scissors! I'm a 29 years old man and I'm very particular about the quality of my cut because it needs to look professional, but not something that my father would wear. I have been trying to find someone for the last year and my search is over. What impressed me most was that Danielle listened to every word I said about what I'd like the outcome to be and she delivered. She definitely just made me a lifelong customer. read more

I have been going to Salon Ya Ya for cut and color since I moved to Nashville 6 months ago. Haley P. is my stylist, and she is great. She is obviously well-versed in the latest techniques and she is very good at interpreting what I ask for in cut and color. I get compliments on my color a lot, and I've sent 4 or 5 friends to her- all have been very happy. I'm super picky about color, and as a natural blonde it is sometimes a challenge to find someone who can do good highlights and lowlights on blondes. They use Redken hair color and carry Redken and Pureology products. Love this place. Highly recommend. read more
