Yan Yan Beauty Salon

I came in for a haircut and had an appointment set. They closed at 6 but here I am at 7 still waiting for my hair to be cut – almost two hours later than expected. Quite frankly, this is unprofessional and I will be looking for a different hair salon from here on out.

Found this gem after being recommended by a few folks and passing by it when in the plaza. Just like many other satisfied customers, I was able to be serviced by Bobby for a cut and it did not disappoint. He was able to communicate his recommendations for a cut and hair product while doing it all in a timely fashion. He looks like a busy guy so calling ahead is probably best. I work across the street and I hope I found a new place to get my hair cut

Bobby you are the best! I love love my haircut. This is my second time here and I’m always happy with his amazing talent. Looking forward in 2 mos to get a trim!

I’ve been coming to this salon for about 3−4months now. My hairstylist Bobby is amazing. He is certified in doing so many different styles and he knows all the latest trends. I love how I was able to walk in and just tell him that I am bored of having the same style and if he can pick a new style for me.
The way he works is spectacular, he takes his time to examine everything and knows how he should shape and form your hair according to your face. When cutting my hair he took his time and explained to me what he was doing, and if I thought it would be nice. Honestly i didn’t know I have always had the same style, so I just told him to go for it. I’m so happy with the results. After styling my hair he explains, how to style it on my own and what products with be good to use.
I would highly recommend asking for Bobby.
Men’s Cut and Wash — $ 13

A hidden gem
I was looking for affordable and good hair service. this is the place!
I requested Bobby as my hair stylist (I read great things about him on Unilocal). And the statements held true. I went in for a v cut and even though I had a few cowlicks that made the cut challenging bobby worked around the problem and customized my look to fit my hair and still manage to give the cut I was looking for! Bobby was very friendly and even gave me some hairstylist tips to maintain my new look. Bobby also provides in home services to clientele in west Hollywood area
I’m definitely coming back for my next cut here.

My regular Barber Shop was closed today, and I really needed a haircut by tomorrow. I decided to check out the highest rated haircut business by my house and this location came up. I was a bit skeptical, because most of the reviews on here are from women.
The few men that have left reviews said to get the haircut from Bobby. I called around 1pm, and asked to make an appointment with him. The receptionist passed me to Bobby and he said he was very busy today, but can make a five o’clock appointment for me.
I came. He is a nice guy. We talked the whole time and the haircut came out very nice.
I went back again last week, and came back today because I though it was still too long. Bobby cut it and didn’t change me for it. He’s an awesome guy for it.

I only cut my hair once a year. It doesn’t matter where I go they always cut more than what I ask and it takes a whole yr for my hair to grow to the length I like and then it might take a month to convince Myself to find a plc and just get my hair cut. Yesterday I Unilocal’d and Unilocal’d and I found Yan Yan had the most reviews and good ones too. So I made an appointment (for the same day) Bobby was so busy he apologized and asked if I could go back today (Sunday) at 9am and offered me a hot oil treatment for free, for my troubles. I gotta say after 7 yrs of hunting for a hair stylist that would actually listen to me and give a nice hair cut and still leave a very good length. I think I can cut my hair more often now. So happy with Bobby ! And price is so freaking reasonable. $ 25 for shampoo, blow dry and hair cut. I always loved Asian women hair n how their layers flow so nicely… this is the place for that. Too many Hispanic hair salons cut the layers so choppy… I hate that. Love my new discovery.

Made an appointment and was the first one there. They still made me waited 40 minutes while they had a meeting argument among themselves. When finally they did my hair it was rush and half ass done. They say next time they will get it right if they had more time. I don’t recommend going there. This place has too much drama among themselves. Yes I can understand all the languages spoke… so rude to talk about people assuming they can’t understand. Most unprofessional environment I ever been at.

Tired of paying the Beverly Hills price tag for a haircut… I decided to look for the cheapest GOOD haircut I could find locally. I Unilocaled and Unilocaled…& finally came across Yan Yan. Based on all the reviews, I made an appointment with Bobby.
I had initially scheduled my appointment for a Sunday afternoon. When I arrived, the place was packed and Bobby told me it would be a 45 minute wait. What?! 45 minutes even with an appointment? I asked him to reschedule. Apparently he wasn’t aware I had an appointment and apologized and offered a free hair color treatment with my next appointment. Suuuuure!!!
So, I came back on a Friday. Bobby saw me quickly and followed through on his promise. Free hair color treatment yayz! :) The haircut + the treatment made my hair feel woooonderful. Total was $ 25. I def think this is the best bang for your buck!
A suggestion though… use warm water to wash hair. The ice cold water wasn’t making me feel pampered :\

I’ve been a loyal customer for 3 years, but the last time I went to the salon, I was unhappy with the price. Each time I come to the salon, the price of highlights increases. What really stood out was that the first time I got balayage highlights & haircut, I was charged $ 65 for my long hair. Now that my hair is 14 inches shorter, the highlights service cost $ 90 for only the top of my head.
I really enjoy Bobby’s kind and professional service; in fact, he’s my favorite stylist. $ 90 for balayage with Bobby is still cheaper (and better) than most places. However, I know I can find someone else at a lower price.
Services alone, my brother and I have been very pleased each time we came to the salon despite the language barrier between us and most of the staff. However, the price increase for each time we come is not worth it.
Buyer beware.

People, you should all go to this beauty salon and ask for Bobby, he is hands down one of the best stylist around this area, he’s super nice and so good at what he does! I went a month ago to color my hair and get a hair cut, and I have never been happier, I will never go anywhere else, hes that good!!!

This salon is amazing. Ask for Bobby. He will accommodate any style and every need. The manager is also fabulous. She recognizes me every time I call and/​or show up. The salon, itself, is spacious and clean.

I went here to get my hair cut because I was getting desperate and didn’t want to pay $ 40+ for a cut at ulta, only to find that I probably should have because this place was terrible. I think the guy was new, I asked for layers and he gave me a blunt cut. I asked for one inch knowing they would cut off three– he cut off 5! I was in the worst mood for four months until I got a better cut somewhere else.

This was my first time here and I brought my two teen daughters to get their hair cut as well as mine. First of all, they were so friendly and the salon, although small, was very clean. Our stylist was Bobby and he looked at the cut we wanted and offered some suggestions. Needless to say our hair came out looking wonderful. My older daughter had another stylist whom also did a great job. I typically pay $ 50 for a cut because my hair is so thick and I have tons of it but here I payed $ 66 for the 3 of us and we were extremely happy with our «Do“s. Big shout out to Bobby.

My hair is long and thick so I decided to get it super short. Linda did a great job on my hair today. I took a pic for reference and she did a similar cut on my hair. 20 bucks for a shampoo and cut plus style is a bargain. Super nice people as well.

This is a Chinese/​Vietnamese salon, the lady I talked to, Linda (the owner, I think), spoke very good English.
I have super short stylish haircut, which means I get a haircut every 3−4weeks if I want to look sharp. I used to go to this salon over in Rowland Heights but that place started charging $ 45 per haircut, and yes, that was way too pricey for someone who needs a cut every 3−4weeks. I decided to look for a new salon nearby my work. I found Yen Yen’s salon, upon reading the Unilocal reviews, I felt they were good reviews but there were only 4 of them. Nonetheless I gave this place a try.
I walked in during my lunch break w/​o an appointment, the lady had me wait for 15mins and got to my haircut. It was a Friday so it was pretty busy, she had to make a few pauses to pick up phone calls & collect money from the other customers. That is probably the only thing I did not like. Next time I will know to go on a weekday when there will be less people coming in and out.
Linda washed my hair quite thoroughly! I was actually amazed by how she washed my hair. One place I used to go to, I always felt like they left some shampoo in my neck area. But not here. Here she made me feel very very clean. Props!
Although it was a busy day, she still spent a good 35−45mins cutting my hair.
I loved the way she cut my bangs…
My hair turned out the way I liked, if not better. :) She charged me $ 19 (58% cheaper than my old haircut) yes! I will be back in 3−4weeks time.
Only reason I’m giving this place a 4 star instead of 5 is because this was my first time. After the next few times, and it keeps proving itself, I will give it the 5 star it deserves.

This salon has been around forever. It’s actually called Yan Yan Beauty Salon (seen in the storefront photo). After going to a couple pricey salons in LA and not getting the best results, I walked in without an appointment to get a trim. Only $ 19 for woman’s haircut and shampoo and better results than I got from salons that charge 100% more! Place is clean and my stylist was friendly and meticulous even though English wasn’t his primary language.

This place is awesome. I pay 70% less (!) than I used to pay at my other salon for the same quality haircut. The staff is super friendly and walk-​ins are welcome. My over-​bleached and damaged hair is hard to manage but the stylist had no problem with it.

This place is excellent. I used to get my hair cut at random barber shops in the area but it seemed I could only get a decent hair cut about 60% of the time. I tried Yen Yen out thinking a solid hair cut would be worth paying a good premium for but it turns out that it’s actually cheaper here than any of the barber shops I frequented previously. Go figure! Everyone here seems to be a licensed cosmetologist and are very good at what they do. I had my hair cut by the only dude that works here and was very happy with it.
It helps if you speak Chinese or Vietnamese (English is not a primary language here), but I don’t speak a lick of either and it wasn’t an issue with me. Plenty of parking (Ocean Bo lot), nice clean shop, and good affordable haircuts. Pretty much as good as it gets.

I used to go to a same stylist for many years. But today I decide to make a change. A new stylist and a new hair cut. After searching through Unilocal,I walked into Yen Yen, even though not many Unilocal reviews. Surprisingly, I love my new hair style and I only have to pay one third I used to pay. I forgot to ask my stylist’s name. But he is the one man in the salon. Now Yen Yen has made me a regular.
