She always has a smile on her face, is creative and provides advice on how to achieve best results - I always leave the salon feeling great (& with an extra spring in my step :).

72 hair smoothing system

Sue Roberts
11th Feb 2022

I visit Saks Barnard Castle regularly, its my happy place! Andrew keeps my unruly hair in peak condition, he wrestles with my double crown and cowlicks with skill and expertise but although he could tame the frizz in the Salon it was beyond me at home. Due to the fact that I was so fed up with my frizzy hair Andrew and Jess explained the 72 system for smoothing frizz to me, initially I was a little skeptical but in August 2021 I gave it a try, it really does work and it lasted a great deal longer than I had anticipated. I have just had the second treatment done, it takes a little longer than normal in the Salon, but it is really worth it to remove the dreaded frizzy bedhead look.
