Ok first of all Shout Out to the stylist Sayo!! This was my second time getting my hair done by Sayo, and once again, I loved the result! I had been thinking about cutting my hair short for a long time, and go back to black because I am tired of previous multiple colorings and bleaching. She gave me exactly what I wanted. I’m so happy I finally did it.

I was also really impressed by the quality of the products they use in the salon. My hair definitely needed that extra care, and it made the whole experience even better. I will put my before hair in it too!!

I haven’t been to a salon in YEARS and have also been dealing with post-partum hairfall and baby hairs as things grow back. Yvonne and her team made me feel incredibly welcome, and did a great job of listening to what I was interested in (mixie cut) while guiding me towards what would work best with my hair type. I came in with long straight hair in a perpetual bun, and walked out with a gorgeous perm and super cute, short curly hair that moves in the wind. It’s fantastic and I love it even more now that it’s 3 weeks later. :)

Thank you Y Salon! (also thank you for the style and maintenance tips!!)

Update: I've since been back to Y Salon another 2 times and have… read full review

I’m so happy that Yvonne was my hairstylist. She completely transformed my old hairstyle into a brand-new look that perfectly suits my face. I feel much younger, more confident, and absolutely love my new hair. Thank you so much, Yvonne!

I also love all of the hair care products she recommended. They’ve helped keep my hair healthy and even support faster hair growth. Thank you again, Yvonne!
