Popped into Saks on last day of holiday in Chester. Needed a hair cut and colour rescue! The salon delivered the goods. First class service, excellent result, great communication and discussion beforehand. Friendly environment and comfortable surroundings. If I lived locally then this would be my regular salon.

I had bonded hair extensions removed after an awful experience with the extensions and hairdresser elsewhere, I felt I was comfortable in there hands at Saks as I was so unhappy with my hair they removed my extensions, treated and cut my hair and now I couldn't be happier with it, it feels amazing and the hairdressers that tackled my terrible extentions were fantastic and took time to make sure I was happy with the outcome , my hair is now silky and so easy to manage and looks great !, Massive thanks for all the time spent and the talented hairdressers that made my hair feel amazing :D

I had my first visit to this salon on Saturday for a full head of blonde highlights to match my hair extensions and a trim with Annalee. For the first time in a very long time I left a hairdressers with exactly what I wanted and couldn't be happier with the colour! My experience whilst in the salon was also very enjoyable and relaxing. Would 100% recommend, thank you very much Annalee and Saks Chester!

Needing perfect hair for my University society Ball was why I went to Saks in Chester for the first time! As soon as I came through the door I was greeted very warmly and offered a drink.

My stylist Jon was excellent, he knew instantly what I wanted for my look! We had a great talk about exactly how I wanted my hair to look, and what he was going to do. He is clearly very skilled at what he does, and knew exactly how to make my hair suit me perfectly. He even suggested some great products to help get that shine and softness I've been looking for! I was so happy with my hair, and it made me feel ready & beautiful for my Ball ^_^ I would definitely recommend to all my friends. It was a fabulous experience!

We had a lovely chat beforehand to see what I was after with my haircut and he explained to me how he will go about achieving the look I wanted. Calvin was very thorough and paid extra attention to my thick hair making sure it would last longer in between cuts.

I'll be coming back to get my colour done. X

Most of all lovely, friendly and welcoming staff! I went to Saks Chester looking for a colour change to go back to my natural colour after having highlights previously. Calvin matched my natural hair colour perfectly and I couldn't be happier! Not only that but throughout the whole 3 hours of being in the salon the atmosphere was lovely and relaxing, I didn't want to leave!
Being a new client, I then received 2 £10 vouchers for the next time I visited the salon which was a lovely surprise! I will definitely be going back.
Thank you again for the lovely experience!x

I recently went to Saks Chester for the first time for a massive transformation from red to cool blonde. No small undertaking!! Right from the start I felt I was in safe hands. Calvin worked some 8 hours on my hair. I was under no allusion that the blonde I wanted could not be acheived first go (if at all), BUT, OMG was I blown away with the result!! Soooooo happy with my hair. The atmosphere is professional but relaxed and the entire team are lovely.
