Don't just take our word for it

Absolutely Fabulous

I would quite happily walk into the salon blindfolded and know that whatever Charlotte, or any of the ladies did, colour wise and cut wise, I would walk out on cloud 9. Absolutely love what marvels they all can do.

Love my colours

First visit to the salon and had a great experience Very friendly and lovely staff with great service Leah did a great job of talking through the options and we discussed what I wanted. Would highly recommend this salon

Best salon locally!

Took my 17 year old daughter for her first proper cut and colour. She had a balayage on extremely long, almost black hair. It turned out beautifully and still in great condition. Unfortunately, I wanted my long, naturally curly, box dyed hair lightening but it wouldn't take the strand test. This was disappointing but most importantly, they were HONEST and didn't just take my money and ruin my already damaged hair further! That to me is the mark of a true stylist who is in it for the love of the job - not just the payday. We ended up going from long, frizzy disaster to a jaw length bob - that a week later, after a new strand test, I am now sat in the salon, on a retun visit, having a foil balayage done. So in the end JOB DONE! and perfectly. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you have had a hair disaster in the past and are nervous about visiting a salon again then this is the salon for you! Or if you just want a good salon with talented stylists and technicians then also call in and have a consultation.HONEST, RELIABLE AND GOOD AT THEIR ART! THIS WILL BE OUR REGULAR SALON NOW, FOR BOTH MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER!

Lovely salon

This is a really lovely salon with a great team! I really enjoyed my visit and felt comfortable from start to finish. My stylist really listened to what I wanted and certainly delivered! She was a breath of fresh air and I look forward to my next visit.

Amazing colour service

I have been getting my hair done by Leah for 18 months now and I love it! Amazing colour skills and styling! Always come away looking and feeling fab! Would highly recommend the team!

Great Salon!

I have been going to Janet Best for a couple of years now and would highly recommend. The team are friendly and knowledgeable and always happy to offer advice and suggestions. Charlotte, who usually cuts my hair, is excellent but on occasions when she has been unavailable, I have also had appointments with Janet, Alice and Leah and have been delighted every time. The salon offers a friendly and professional service and is good value.

Highly recommend

I had an appointment a couple of days ago for a colour correction to finally rid me of the box dye black hair! Alice has done an amazing job of getting my long hair back to a beautiful brown balayage, keeping it in amazing condition & offering some great advice to keep it that way! Very happy with the service from the initial consultation to the end result. Lovely friendly salon with highly skilled & knowledgable staff.

Excellent salon

I have been a customer of this salon for a number of years and always felt at ease. It’s a family run business and they work great as a team, putting input in when needed. Alice is amazing, she’s looked after my hair for many years, she is very knowledgeable and loves colour which suits me as I feel I am in capable hands when I need a change. Alice knows when I am in doubt and always comes up with something new either a change of colour or style. It’s a great salon, with lots of inspiration, very clean and friendly! I love it and especially Alice!!

 

"Thank you so much Sandra for your lovely review we always love seeing you in salon & are so happy that you love it in our salon"

Superb salon experience.

My daughter recommended Janet best salon, as she is very happy with their service.... (she left her own review) It has been 16 years since I had such a positive experience. I used to love my hair, it is naturally wavy, and with the right cut it actually curls. (but There is such a lack of care in the hairdressing profession on the whole, that i literally gave up on ever feeling good about my hair again!) Janet sat and gave a full assessment of my hair type, asked what i wanted to achieve and my hair routine, which was literally NIL as i was so dissatisfied it. Janet told me how she was going to improve the texture of my hair, and believe me, she did it! From the first comb through, sectioning off my hair and cutting into the neckline, I relaxed and just let her work her magic. I had shown her a photo of the style i hoped to achieve.... and Janet advised me that due to the length of my hair, and it's general condition, it would probably take a while for it to spring into curls, so the style would not be so curly as the one on the model. I understood this, as it used to take a week or so for my hair to retrain, back in the day, so after so many years of careless cuts I expected to wait. Janet worked her way through my hair and it was like turning back time! I can't cut hair, but i know when its being done well, it's indescribable seeing your image return before your very eyes. Even Janet was amazed, my hair was actually waving into curls and looked very much like the photo i had brought. THIS only happens with a Great Stylist, and Janet Best is the BEST Stylist I've seen in many years. My family are delighted with the new look, my grandson (7 yrs) says i look like a queen.... My son in law asked if i knew Susan, who used to live here? My husband looked long and finally said "hmmm nice" which after 43 years equates to swinging from the rafters!!!! So ..... delighted. Lol Needless to say, I wont be going anywhere else.

Worth the journey

Followed Lottie when she moved to this salon ,considered changing as I live in Roundhay now. So glad I didn’t as Lottie continues to take time and attention to colour and style my hair gently offering advice and ideas about style and colour . Would thoroughly recommend her to anybody . Enjoy my visits to the salon

First time visit

Went there for the first time in December. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Alice who was to cut my hair was very knowledgeable sitting with me to discuss exactly what I wanted and what she could due to improve the health of my hair. Even giving me information I could look up on line about the products she was to use. The traine Hermione was very polite and the hair wash I received was exelllant, very theroputic. Alice did an amazing job, my hair looks and feels fantastic and I am looking forward to returning in February. I would highly recommend this salon the staff are fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and highly skilled.

Highly recommended!

I have never left a hair salon feeling as satisfied as I do when I leave Janet Best Hair Design. I'm so fussy and I used to hate having my hair done due to bad experiences in other salons (I've tried so many different salons before I found Janet Best Hair Design). Sinead is absolutely amazing, after having my hair cut once with her, I booked in a few days later for a blow dry, and a few weeks later for a colour... Which I am absolutely in love with!! All of the ladies in the salon are lovely and make you feel so comfortable. I highly recommend Janet Best Hair Design! I'm already looking forward to my next appointment.

Love it!

Thank you Charlotte I absolutely love it xxx

Wonderful Experiences!

I have been a client of Janet’s for 31 years I think that in its own right is what I feel about janet and her salon. The salon is wonderful as are all the girls.

Highly recommended!

Always made to feel so welcome by everyone at the salon, and leave with fabulous hair thanks to Alice's amazing skill. Would definitely recommend the Janet Best team to anyone, there is a lovely atmosphere in the salon and they really take time to understand what you want whilst making great suggestions.

Fabulous!

Janet and her team are fabulous! there is always a warm welcome and the staff go out of their way to ensure you are happy with your hair cut. They are also very flexible and offer appointments to suit all diaries. I have been a client for many years and would recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic - 10/10

Been going to this salon for about 5 yrs now how time flies. The girls are fantastic and very up to date with hair styles professional and honest with styles you might like to try.
Overall 10/10 score for this salon.

Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic, everyone is welcoming, lovely place, great staff, not had my hair done for a few years, Sinead has made my hair so much better! Would definitely recommend to anyone, so happy and pleased with the results!! Thank you so much! 

Thank you!

Thank you Charlotte love my new hair colour, you’ve done a fab job! x

The best salon in my area by far!

I have been a customer of Janet Best Hair Design for a couple of years now and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. From my very first visit, I have always been made to feel welcome and a valued customer. Alice is my stylist and is exceptionally talented and professional as well as a really lovely person. She recently gave me a complete re-style after I lost patience with trying to grow my hair. I was very nervous but needn't have been because Alice knows exactly what to do and what would work with my hair and what wouldn't. I took lots of photos with me of styles I'd seen and we agreed on a style that we both liked and one I could easily manage to do at home myself. Unlike most salons when you show them a photo and you come out looking nothing like it, with Alice I really did look like the photo and was over the moon! Everyone has commented on how much better my hair looks since I had the re-style and how much thicker it looks too. I love the products they sell and use them daily. They also have a loyalty card which builds up points towards products too. I have tried just about every salon in Wakefield over the years but wouldn't go anywhere else now. If you want a truly professional, friendly atmosphere with a lovely latte and biscuit, I would highly recommend them.

Fabulous!

I visited the salon for the first time today and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the relaxed atmosphere. Alice was lovely and did an amazing job. She recommended what colour would suit me and it was perfect! Really enjoyed the experience and have received plenty of compliments already. My hair looks fabulous! Looking forward to my next appointment!

Great Salon

I have genuinely just had the most amazing experience here! I was lucky enough to win the Valentine's Day competition which included a free cut and blow dry, a free pair of shellac nails and and a free pair of GHD's, I also got an adorable little beauty kit with items like nail polish and a nail file, Sinead ( I apologise if that's spelt incorrectly) was absolutely wonderful and I felt at ease the minute I sat down! The cut she gave me has made my hair so healthy and shiny considering it was literally like hay beforehand, and I couldn't be more pleased with the style, she was attentive and has good banter too! I then got upstairs to another stunning room to have my nails done and the ladies were superb, running me through everything they were doing and I had a lovely chat! I went for a shade called field fox which I highly recommend as they look a dream! 
My overall experience was gorgeous and I came out of the salon with a huge smile on my face feeling very confident! I will be back in no time as I think I've found my new favourite place to go! 
Thank you so much to all the super kind staff for everything you did cant wait to come back xxxx

Thank you so much Sinaed for bringing back to life my hair after a horrid experience in Leeds. Olaplex has made my hair so sort After the bleach and highlights. After moving Up North. It's great to find such a clean friendly salon that really cared about what I wanted to achieve. My wedding hair is now on the way highly recommended x

Thank you to Alice i have had my first colour and has turned out amazing. I had ombre colour done, it looks so natural.

Salon Response

Thank you Rebekah we're so glad you love your colour  xxxx

Thank you so much for today, I feel amazing!

Cannot recommend this salon and Sinead highly enough. Sinead really puts me at ease as I am very nervous about getting my hair cut after a total disaster (before I met Sinead). 
Sinead always remembers me and my quirks even with the long periods between cuts. My hair is pretty difficult as it's very very fine, limp, lifeless and I've spent the last 2 year trying to grow it out. Sinead is like a magician, she totally transforms my hair, the style, the condition etc while barely taking anything off the length (I hate those scissor happy types who scalp you). Sinead gives a full consultation to discuss what style I'm after, what's achievable and will suit my hair regime (minimal effort). Sinead makes sure I'm 100% happy with what she's going to do and tweaks the style along the way so I'm not overwhelmed/regretting too much of a change. She shows me how to style my hair after the cut and advises the best products to use.
She's a lovely person and a very talented hairdresser. All the staff at the salon are incredibly welcoming and can't do enough for you. They all give the VIP treatment and make a lovely brew.

Very friendly atmosphere professional staff I was personally welcomed by Janet as it was my first visit with my Senior Stylist Sinead I left feeling very pampered & will definitely be returning !
By the way the decor is fantastic I was lucky enough to be in the Boutique Room & it was an added bonus to be able to have my nails done at the same time

Great Salon

Had my hair coloured by Alice yesterday and she is amazing and so friendly. I absolutely love the colours she came up with and have been getting complimented all day! Can't wait for my next visit!

5 Star

I have been to the salon three times now. Everyone is ace. Sinead has cut n coloured my hair and the style is easy to manage and looks fabulous. Anyone fancying a change, new look, different ideas. Definitely give Janet Best salon a try.

Brillant

What a fabulous evening we had a Janet best hair design! I booked a pamper night for 4 ladies where we were spoilt with a wash and blow and file and paint and prosecco! This was a brilliant treat and everyone was so welcoming and made us leave the salon looking and feeling amazing! Wish I could go every week. Thanks again to everyone at Janet best hair design for a perfect evening!

Recommended

I must share with you what a wonderful afternoon my friend and I had with Jan and all the team yesterday. We were in expert hands who were such lovely company to thoroughly spoil and pamper us. All topped off with a few glasses of prosecco. What more could a girl want on a Saturday afternoon! We left feeling so relaxed and with fantastic hair and beautiful nails. I have to say that Alice did a fabulous job finishing my hair, she is definitely a rival to you talents Jan! A massive thank you to you all xx

5 Star

Really getting used to and liking my new darker locks utilising the new techniques that echo the usage of make-up contouring. The strobing effect is fab and I've had loads of compliments. Thanks & well done Sinead!! (That's us in the background.It's good to see 'in salon' training taking place. A really lovely afternoon and was really interesting to be a part of it! Thanks ladies

Thank you to Chenade for my colour and cut, after a very hard and earning experience dealing with my long thick hair. Also giving me advice and a colour shampoo to keep my tone lasting a longer time, not to forgot to mention the salon is a very baby and family friendly place. she made me a very happy lady and definitely will be going back, i would recommend to all.

Thank You

Thanks to Charlotte for an amazing hair cut yesterday it looks lovely. Would definitely recommend this place I love it!

Fab experience :)

After recently moving to the area and following a serious hair disaster, I popped into the salon to see if they could help. I was greeted with a really warm welcome and given some really useful advice. Thankfully the girls managed to help me out BIG TIME, they literally made my Christmas because of it. I'm so pleased and now very happy to class myself as a regular customer in such a lovely salon. Would highly recommend xx

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent !!

I have been going to 'Janet Best ' for many years now and have never been disappointed. Janet does my hair and is an absolute specialist in getting body into my fine hair !! Everyone is so friendly and polite, you are always guaranteed a good laugh, so as well as fabulous hair you come away with a big smile on your face too !! Another bonus is the free text they send you reminding you of your next appointment. Janet also cuts my sons hair and again he has never been disappointed. 'Janet Best' and her team really are the 'BEST' !!

Fantastic salon and brilliant staff

Have been here on 3 occasions and all the staff are lovely and friendly. Had my hair done by their junior stylist , who did my hair better than any other experienced hairdresser I've ever had. The staff allowed me to have my hair done in a separate room because I was feeding my baby at the time. Highly recommend this salon for professionalism and great prices!!!

Very friendly and good at what they do!

When I moved into the area I needed to find a new salon and leave my old one. When I went to have my hair cut I was nervous! But I needn't have been, I am now a regular, visiting the salon and beauty room upstairs. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, appointments are easy to make and you are able to escape to have your hair done in a beautifully decorated salon.

Amazing!!!

Visited the salon after it was recommended by a friend and could not be more happy. Both my mum and myself were amazed how our hair was transformed and never looked as good. I have also had my hair coloured by Alice and she is fantastic, I love my new hair. All the staff are very friendly, professional and make you feel right at home. Could not be happier and would recommend to anyone.

Brilliant

Janet put me at ease as soon as I arrived. She patiently tried different styles for my wedding and because of this service I have continued to use them ever since. All my guests commented on the creative and professionalism of mine and my bridesmaids hair. Thank you to both Janet and Alice for such a brilliant first class service and being part of the wedding day. The reason I have continued to use the salon is the expertise and friendliness of the staff runs throughout the salon with each member of the team.

Highly rRcommended!!!

I have been a client of Janet's for well over 10 years and have never been unhappy with my hair! Lovely salon and staff and clients are always well looked after.

Lovely Friendly Staff, Great Salon

Would reccomend this salon. The staff were lovely and friendly. My hairdresser did a great job, had 'dip dye' for the first time, she explained every step and went through all the best products to look after my hair thoroughly. All the staff were complimentary about the finished look. Overall a good experience. Will definitely be going again.

Julie rayner

I used to pass Janet Best's salon and always thought it looked impressive, so started going there almost a year ago. I noticed the friendly atmosphere as soon as I walked in and everyone was so welcoming. Lorraine cuts my hair and really understands what I want and is very talented so I'm always thrilled with each cut and blow dry. There is always a coffee and biscuit waiting and good magazines to read, which make each visit even more enjoyable. Well done everyone!

Best salon around !

So I had been going to London for years for my hair doing and spending a fortune as I trusted no salon around due to past disasters. I moved to Wakefield around 6 months ago and drove past Janet Best hair design, the salon caught my attention straight away ! It looks beautiful and so stylish, I called in for a consultation and the staff were so lovely and reassuring I thought why not! I went in for a colour with both Janet and Allison and I have never been happier!!! The colour and cut was London standard just without all the £££££'s. I am now a regular and they are doing my wedding hair Sunday April 12th 2015 and I wouldn't trust anyone else! Thankyou so much Lucy xx

would highly recomend this salon to anybody!!

Both me and my mum have used this salon, neither of us have a bad word to say about it. The staff are so friendly, you fill out a little questionnaire before So they know how you want your hair and what you expect. The prices are more than reasonable, and the finishing results are faultless! The service really is superb, we won't use another salon again!!

Really friendly

Friendly atmosphere and a really good hair cut for a good price. Have been going for several years now!

Always gets it right

I love going here for my hair doing, they're lovely people and care about getting the job done right. Alice, who usually does my hair, listens and gets what I mean when I'm describing what I want and I always leave feeling happy about my hair style. Me my mum, sisters and grandma all love going and will all continue to, best hair dressers I've been to.

Janet Best Hair Design, has the WOW factor!

It is always a pleasant experience visiting the salon I look forward to my appointments. The staff are courteous and efficient. Fresh new ideas are always offered, without feeling pressurised to try them. It is a clean fresh modern salon, which accommodates all age groups. It is a place I would recommend. I travel a fair distance to this salon; the journey is always worth it. The recent alterations have given it that up market edge, which could give any 'big' name salon a run for its money !!!

Good Value, excellent service

I recommend this salon to my friends and family, my hairdresser always cuts and styles my hair exactly how I want it and talks me through everything she's doing so there's no surprises at the end of it, I can sit there comfortably and know I'm in good hands, there's always helpful tips given on how to care for my hair. The staff are always welcoming and polite, the salon is clean, tidy and well presented, top marks for everything .
