My first time at Saks - always slightly nervous when you go to a new salon. Sarah was great - she listened, made me feel comfortable and delivered what I wanted. I'll definitely be back. Thank you.

I’ve been going to Ann-Elise for a number of years and am always thrilled with the results. She takes the time to provide a personalised service, discussing my hair journey with me first and offering the newest products and services. I travel nearly an hour to visit this salon which, in itself, is testament to how good they are. I’ve tried cheaper salons in the past and you definitely get what you pay for!

I think it’s about 4 years since Sarah first cut my hair and I have been more than happy with it ever since. I usually visit every 6 weeks or so and together we have been through several of my whims. From very short pixie cuts to the current short bob. Sarah has never let me down it’s always looked great. I think it’s likely I will stay with the current cut for a long time because it suits my hair so well. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone. She not only listens but also has the confidence to guide. Top marks Sarah. Thank you .

So. I was having THE worst day, that is until I stepped foot into the salon. The welcome, the advice, the skills, the whole service. I feel so lucky to have a stylist who studies and does everything she can possibly do to make me feel my best. All the stylists take the time to say hello and welcome you into their creative space. I LOVE this salon xxx
