Hooked  5 Star Rating - World class

After walking 1,000 times in front of this salon on my way home I decided last week end to be unfaithful to my last 3 years stylist. The next morning I woke up, not guilt ridden, but with a smile when looking at my hair in the mirror. The highlights are subtle (Im a brunette) and the cut flattering. Its only been a few days and Ive received so many compliments that I had to tell the world! This salon is not the least expensive in the neighborhood but still reasonable and worth every penny. Im hooked!

Hair salon 4 Star Rating - Very good

I was recommended to this small but charming salon by a friend in Wash DC. The front desk staff are polite and multi-languaged. I had a very nice and talent colorist attend me. He did a great job, ( he's a little eccentric) but to date the best I've had color my hair. I recommend the salon and Raymond, he's the colorist. I enjoyed the whole affair while there.

Excellent 5 Star Rating - World class

It has now been three times that I trust them with my most important accessory, my hair, and it keeps getting better every time! My hair is the best shape ever. The color is vibrant while the cut grows very nicely. My visits have always been very enjoyable, the shampoo is great, the staff is knowledgeable and delivers on the promise, the manager efficient. The salon is quite large for the neighborhood (a breath of fresh air), clean and on time.
Thank you for taking such good care of me!

Cons: Mani & Pedi only on the week-ends

poor highlights by Ray 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Very disappointed in my highlight experience by Ray...wasn't looking for much, just an update, and got much less. Chunks of my hair overlooked, paid for a "full head", spotty job, looks like an attempt at do-it-yourself highlights. Frustrated with how it looks and that I spent money for it to look this way. Would consider going back to that salon with another stylist given the other good reviews.

Pros: nice atmosphere, generally positive reviews
Cons: specific stylists poor performance

Simply the best 5 Star Rating - World class

Nice space, nice staff, great hair
What else can you ask for?
Oh yes its very reasonable
I had come to Yann Varin before to buy products, they carry Kerastase, but now I trust them with my locks. I have been a regular since the summer when their colorist fixed a bad dye job from a supposedly reputable Madison avenue salon
Try it and youll get hooked!

Pros: Open every day

A pleasure 5 Star Rating - World class

It is always an enjoyable experience to visit Yann Varin for my monthly pamper.
The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is friendly yet very professional.
My color, cut and pedicure are top notch and cost me half what I used to pay!

Pros: Top notch servives
