Having recently moved into the area I made the mistake of booking an appointment as a less than professional salon who managed to butcher my hair and turn it the shade of poo green normally associated with a bad case of gastro enteritis.
Luckily for me I called into the local Saks Salon, one I had never tried before, and the worst serful Andrew turned a disaster into a Wow Experience. He coloured, he cut and he coaxed and wouldn't let me leave until he was sure that I was happy with my new look. Not only am I happy - I am ecstatic. For the first time in years I have a sassy new style that wipes years off my 64 years and has boosted my confidence beyond belief.
I am over the moon that I have found a fabulous stylist in a friendly salon and shall certainly be making my visits there a regular occurrence.
I do think know if you have a customer service award but if you do then I would certainly nominate Andrew at Barnard Castle as a more than deserving recipient.
Saks Salons are now at the top of my Recommend To A Friend list.

Hi, i was very impressed with the advise given by sarah and my colour and cut was great, my only shock was my bill at the end, so expensive, have looked at your prices on the website and still cant understand the charge of £133, i have no complaints with sarah at all she was lovely, just far too much to spend, if soneobe could check to see if my bill is right i would be gratful.

Many thanks

After having a really, really bad haircut at another hairdressers I couldn't decide where to go next. After letting the scare-cut grow out for five months I went to Saks at Barnard Castle. It was an impulse visit and I am very happy to say that Jess, who fit me in at short notice, was brilliant. My faith in finding a great hair stylist is restored! Thanks for the friendly experience and for putting everything right.

Firstly, got an appointment at an hours notice. Something no other salon in Barnard Castle could do.

All staff made me feel welcome and I was offered massive discounts for their newly opened beauty salon too.

Ellie was welcoming, friendly and extremely professional throughout. She listened to exactly what I wanted and we made decisions about the cut and style as we went.

Thank you guys for making my first visit awesome!

I rang yesterday to see if they could fit me in as I didn't have a appointment which they could. Upon arriving at the salon I was greeted by a very friendly ladie who was thorough with me from start to finish. She even made my tea exactly how I have it (I like it luke warm) throughout the shape up and blow dry I received some very valuable tips regarding my colouring as I do it myself and and go from one extreme to another. Haircut was spot on and my hair was like silk after. I can not thank the stylist enough as the whole experience was fantastic. I will deffinatly be returning and will be recommending this salon to any one who will listen!!! Well done saks :-)

I left Saks as a customer some years ago when Lewis left, he was the reason I continued to pay Saks prices. A couple of years later with some disappointing, cheaper hair cuts I decided to give Saks another go. Marie was my stylist, I am very very pleased with the result, the first good hair cut for a few years. She was extremely pleasant, she listened and advised, she did the washing and the drying (and not just the cut) and for the first time in a while I didn't think I'd wasted my money. Many thanks Marie, I will be returning and recommending.

Hair colour and cut

Having had a few bad experiences with hair colour at other salons, I decided to pay a lot more and to give Saks a go! My overall experience was very pleasant, good consultation about suitable color and cut for my hair. Great hair cut, really happy with the style. Lovely hair colour, really pleased with finished look, however, I am disappointed with the mess that was made when colour was applied. I have been left with colour stains on my forehead and left cheek and chin and a slight mark on my right ear! I did point this out, hairdresser attempted to remove with damp cotton wool, didn't work! I do think it's a shame that this has happened. I paid £100, to have an experienced colourist do my hair and I expected a little more care and attention to detail. It has put a little bit of a damper on my visit and my thoughts about wether I will return. Shame.

First visit to this Salon. To have my hair cut and coloured by Jess.
Jess was lovely and I came out very happy with the result. Will definitely be back regularly for cuts and colour. Other staff friendly.
Only complaint was I was very cold. I know it was a cold day and I was sat next to the window. But other than that no complaints and I will be back. Thankyou Jess

I always enjoy the experience going into SAKS. It's not just a great haircut , it's the extra care they take to make your experience worth coming. Prebooking is prompted, good advice and the right treatments are all offered. The extra touch is that the owner of the business is always present and he is fun and includes everyone in the room. Well done!
