I always enjoy my visits to Saks. Nicola understands my hair so well and always delivers a cut that I can manage myself between visits. She is always willing to make suggestions and share styling tips.

I’ve been using Saks for a few years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! They staff are lovely especially Stacy. She knows how I like my hair without me even having to say anything. The past few visits I’ve had to take my son with me and all the staff have made him feel welcome even spoiling him with a hot chocolate. They’re all just wonderful!

My first appointment was a cut & blow dry. At my first visit my stylist gave me a consultation about colour I enquired about. I booked another appointment for my colour and can say I am very happy with her advise and my hair I love it and found my new hairdresser.

Visited today for first time and brought my friend along.
We were greeted by a very friendly happy Zoey and her colleagues.
Zoey was very professional and conscientious, as was Emma who was dealing with my friend.
I felt that my request for my hair colour and cut was met with 100% concern.
The outcome exceeded my expectations!
I was very happy and look forward to future appointments!
Thank you for this exceptional experience!
