Hairdresser was lovely, but I asked for fringe bangs and was told I did not have enough hair to do this. With thick naturally curly hair I couldn't understand this. She cut in two short side pieces that looked like a grown out fringe. I left with a hairstyle that I can only describe as the "Rachel Cut" from friends in the 90's very old fashioned layers and blown dry. Sorry to say this will be my first and last visit to Saks. After leaving I have since had the fringe I wanted cut in by another hairdresser the same day ! A very expensive, disappointing experience.

Extremely professional and courteous experience from the people manning the desk and Andy the stylist.

Really pleased with the haircut and was kept fully informed of each step of the process.

Good atmosphere and very professional but for what was done (very little) the appointment was a waste. After saying I wanted more shaping done to the back and to my outgrown bangs, minimal shaping was actually done and therefore I wouldn't return to this particular stylist (who I only can presume is new or in training). Previous appointments have been great and I've been happy with the result but this pre-holiday haircut has only left me with an empty purse.

Had an appointment for myself and my daughter for a wedding. Only wanted our hair curled, mine was fine however my daughters hair which is naturally curly anyway couldn't have ended up straighter within half an hr of leaving the salon. Called to speak to them and was told the manager would call me back last Wednesday however they never bothered to follow up.....I paid £20 for a child's hair do for it to be straight with 30mins!!! Disappointed in the lack of follow up!
