Delighted with my cut and finish, done by the lovely, talented Stacey. My hair is looking the best it's ever been and is growing into a nice style which suits me. So happy, lovely salon with lovely, friendly staff. Would recommend Saks Chester to everyone. Thank you!

Amazing, thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to SAKS everything from the Welvome I received when I walked through the door to leaving a couple of hours later I couldn’t fault anything. Jon discussed by hair with me and made suggestions as to the colour and style. I felt like a VIP and will definitely be returning.

Jon is a talented stylist with a good sense of humour. He has a real respect for hair and I always leave with a flattering cut, beautiful colour and most importantly for me the integrity if my hair is still intact. On the whole the staff are polite and courteous and the salon has a calm atmosphere.

Saks is a salon where you get an outstanding level of specialists, products, and service. It feels like seeing in a family every time you cone to get it out fair done. They stuff are all very friendly and welcoming. They know their customers well and always go out of their way to accommodate your request. A bit on a pricy side, but the products they use are all high end and the quality is top notch, hence justifies the price. I’m a client of 10 years now and have never been disappointed.

I went to Saks for a hair colour change. I had made a absolute state of my hair and I thought it would be impossible to change. Saks reassured me they would do what ever they could to get my hair back brown, and they did! They took just under 4 hours and got my hair perfect. I couldn’t thank the staff enough for what they did for me. I love my hair and I will definitely be returning to Saks!!

After having a terrible experience at a different salon in Chester, I came to Saks today to fix what the previous lady had done! Saks was brilliant, I had a lovely lady Jay sort my hair out and I love it! Made my hair exactly how I wanted and even gave me £10 off as a new salon offer. Already booked in for another haircut in March & would highly recommend to anyone. Excellent service!

Fab new set up, great feel in the salon.
Really happy with the ever so subtle yet new effect.
Nikki is always up for the colour challenge and translates my not-so-eloquent descriptions perfectly
Hair feels great too
Spa-like relaxing set up at the wash area, with big windows and tree views, although the temp at the was cooler and laying back would be nice to have a rug over you especially with all the treatments.
