We recently reached out to our readers on the Yorkshire Evening Post Facebook page to ask one simple question: Who is the best hairdresser in Leeds?
The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of locals eager to shout about the stylists who keep them looking their best.
Of course, this being the internet, we did have to filter out a few jokers; while Edward Scissorhands was nominated more than once, we’ve decided to stick to stylists who don't have literal blades for fingers and won't turn your garden hedge into a dinosaur while you wait for your highlights - or melt your heart with their whimsy...
From vivid colour specialists in Pudsey to high-end luxury spas in the heart of the city centre, here are the 11 salons that received the most love from the people of Leeds.
1. Radiance Hairdressing (Morley)
By an absolute landslide, Radiance was the most mentioned salon in our search. Readers couldn't praise Keeley Frank and her team enough, with customers like Lynda Roberts noting they receive "the best treatment every single time." ✂️ 122 Queen St, Morley, Leeds LS27 9EB | Google Street View Photo: Google
