Generally, I am a very lazy person when it comes to my appearance. I rarely wear makeup, or…read morejewellery, and I never do anything with my hair beyond a wash and perhaps a quick hairdrying. I have often found myself the victim of over-zealous hairdressers who want to style me. On many occasions I have left the hairdresser with a haircut that looks amazing but I will be completely incapable of recreating it at home. The thing I hate the most though is straighteners. I have pretty straight hair as it is and when the power of straighteners is added to it the ends look like they could split someone's throat. As a result, I parted company with my old hairdresser when they openly disregarded my request to not have my hair straightened. With a apprehensive heart, therefore, I went in search of a new hairdresser and ended up with Darren at Mega City One. What a joy. He complimented the condition of my hair (most pleasing), paid attention and did exactly what I wanted. No straighteners, no hair spray, no nothing. On subsequent occasions, if he is at all unsure about what I mean, he shows a picture of what he is thinking so there are no unfortunate surprises when it comes to the mirror moment. And only 25.50, which to be fair I still consider a lot for a haircut, although I accept that my thoughts are out of kilter with the rest of world and 25.50 is actually pretty cheap. I even managed to persuade the boyfriend to give it a go, and naturally, he is frightened of getting his hair cut. Something to do with scissors nearby his face. The first time I had to go with him, but now he is happy to go on his own and as a result, now looks presentable for 78% of the year. Hurray!!

I always leave with a cut I like and can manage. The only thing to remember is that it's cash only! I've always been put off by pretentious hair salons which are impersonal and make you feel like another person on the assembly line, and you should be so lucky to have your hair cut there... This place is definitely not like that. I'm so happy I found it and will be sad when I eventually move and have to give it up. It is a diamond in the rough!

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!

While living in Leeds, I've flitted from salon to salon on a budget, never really ending up completely happy with my haircut or hairdresser. One day after looking at Google reviews, I decided to give Renaissance a try, and boy am I glad I did! I was booked in with George, who asked me loads of questions about what I wanted, what I did and didn't like about my hair, how I style it, etc. George was really friendly, offered to get me a drink (including wine or beer - how good is that?!), and just completely made me feel at ease. I was really happy with my hair when George had finished - it looked exactly like I had in mind. I've been back several times now and been really happy each time, it finally looks like I can stop flitting from salon to salon! It wasn't expensive either, though I think it's recently increased to around £34.
