I love this salon. I've been getting my hair colored by Nick for 3-4 years, and I've never left disappointed.

I have platinum blonde hair so I've had some absolutely terrible experiences at other high-end salons in Richmond and DC. When I first came to the salon, Nick went above and beyond fixing previous stylists' mistakes and coaxing my hair back to health. It's really rare to find a colorist as skilled as Nick in bleaching hair.

Prices are more than reasonable for the level of service the salon provides (I've paid twice as much at Katie Blue for color that looks

YY salon is amazing - from making appointment, front staff, the salon, the vibe, and of course Kara the stylist.

Upon walking into the salon, it feels fresh, upscale, and relaxing. The salon looks simple but yet beautiful. It is also quiet so you feel very exclusive which I like.

The staff will offer you complimentary beverages and snacks right when you check in.

My appointment starts on time without waiting, which is important since it shows how professional a place can be.

Kara is super down to earth kind of person. She listens to what I like, gives her professional opinions, and then proceeds

Another great cut & experience at YY! The new renovation is absolutely gorgeous, natural light in every space. I had my first cut with Keyla & she did a fantastic job, I love it! Also not to miss- the new product lines they're carrying, davines for hair & Clove + Hallow makeup. (I purchased the Clove + Hallow hydratint blush in "Nakey" shade, highly recommend!)

Great salon. I've been here a few times now for color as well as a cut and I think it's safe to say it's my go to place here in RVA. Great service, tips are included, and a loyalty program put YY over the top. Good stuff!

I have tried nearly every salon in Richmond, including the "best" ones on Yelp. But if you have platinum blonde hair, well, you know how hard it is to find someone who can get you there (without killing your hair). I've had some terrible situations at some of the most well-known salons in Richmond. My natural shade is about a 8-9, but I highlight it to an 11-12. Nick at YY is the first person who GOT IT RIGHT (and was gentle on my hair). I'm thrilled to have a place where I can have an ongoing hair-relationship, and know I'm going to get consistently great results

I went here on the recommendation from a friend and I'm so glad that I did! Kara did a great job with cut and color. She listened to what I wanted, added her professional opinions and executed a new style with total confidence. See my before & after photos!

I love YY Salon. I have been a customer for 8 years now and no one does color better than Nick. I always get compliments on my color and always recommend a trip to YY. Kara, April and Jen are wonderful stylists always asking what you want out of the cut so you get what you want. Michael and his entire team are thoughtful, fun and easy going. Color me happy ! ;)
Also, french press coffee and snacks... bonus!

Everyone at YY was very nice, so I hate doing this... but, well, it was a personal recommendation and Yelp reviews that influenced my decision to chose this salon, and my experience was not representative of the reviews here. So, in keeping with the spirit of what Yelp is all about, I feel like leaving an honest review is necessary.

I have brown, naturally curly hair. I scheduled an appointment for a cut and color, and made sure to tell the receptionist that I was coming in to have my dark hair lightened, as I assumed this process may take longer than average. She recommended that I make an

In response to YYs reaction, I would say that my dissatisfaction with a salon that was relatively new was due to their poor representation in customer service. Not only was your service poor, but so is your attitude. I will never recommend this salon to anyone.

Like the other reviews, I just moved to the area and tried 10 different stylists with no luck... until I stumbled upon YY. Jennifer was fantastic! It was obvious that she was passionate and knowledgeable about her craft. She jokingly said this will change your life and she kept her promise. The BEST stylist I've ever had. Oh, and cost? I would pay triple.

Thank you YY.

Tonight I received the best haircut I've had since moving to RVA in 2004. Kara is incredibly talented and personable--YY has won my business!

Big city innovation and skill in little old RVA. After being spoiled by the hair talents in Chicago for a few years, I returned to Richmond sure that I would never get a decent color job again. YY proved me wrong by doing amazing highlights and an awesome cut. (Used the most expensive stylist for color and one of the cheapest for the cut. After all, color can be a mess to fix. A bad cut grows out). The color job was one of the best I've had the cut was fab.


I see some reviews cite cost. And true, it cost about the same as I paid in Chicago. But WORTH IT.


What a gem!

My first haircut in RVA and it was stellar. I'm a little picky (high maintenance?) with my salons, so I was nervous before I entered YY. My fears were assuaged as soon as I walked in the door.

I booked a cut with Kara at $65. She thoroughly examined my hair, asked me what I liked, and what I was going for style-wise. Since I'm not adventurous and cannot pull off a cool pixie like hers, I kept my long layers. Fantastic haircut!

The atmosphere is really cool: lots of white furniture, candles, and mirrors...almost a warm, mod feel to the place. Not only are they a no-tipping policy (I

I love YY. Owned by Michael Wood, this is one of the most New York hair experiences you're going to get in Richmond. The salon has a chic, clean atmosphere, and you'll mostly likely get one stylist for cut and one for color.

Only problem, great atmosphere and talent doesn't come cheap. Women's cuts start at $100 and men's start at $75, and that's assuming you're seeing the lowest level stylist. Color starts at $100. When I get my hair done, I like lots of colors, creative cuts and upper level stylists. This means lots of money! I've gone to the awesomely

I got the best hair cut and color of my life here. I walked out feeling like a million bucks.

Too bad I can't afford to go there anymore! The guys here are sweet, funny and amazing. If you have an extra couple hundred, go there and get your hair did.
