Lack of hair cutting literally!

Good atmosphere and very professional but for what was done (very little) the appointment was a waste. After saying I wanted more shaping done to the back and to my outgrown bangs, minimal shaping was actually done and therefore I wouldn't return to this particular stylist (who I only can presume is new or in training). Previous appointments have been great and I've been happy with the result but this pre-holiday haircut has only left me with an empty purse.

Very welcoming
First time at SAKs and a friend recommended Simon I have naturally curly hair and Through years of experiences would rather go to the dentist than the hair salon !
Simon was great he worked with my unlit hair and I have already booked my next cut and a colour
A real confidence boost for me with a hair salon

Had an appointment for myself and my daughter for a wedding. Only wanted our hair curled, mine was fine however my daughters hair which is naturally curly anyway couldn't have ended up straighter within half an hr of leaving the salon. Called to speak to them and was told the manager would call me back last Wednesday however they never bothered to follow up.....I paid £20 for a child's hair do for it to be straight with 30mins!!! Disappointed in the lack of follow up!

Having recently moved into the area I made the mistake of booking an appointment as a less than professional salon who managed to butcher my hair and turn it the shade of poo green normally associated with a bad case of gastro enteritis.
Luckily for me I called into the local Saks Salon, one I had never tried before, and the worst serful Andrew turned a disaster into a Wow Experience. He coloured, he cut and he coaxed and wouldn't let me leave until he was sure that I was happy with my new look. Not only am I happy - I am ecstatic. For the first time in years I have a sassy new style that wipes years off my 64 years and has boosted my confidence beyond belief.
I am over the moon that I have found a fabulous stylist in a friendly salon and shall certainly be making my visits there a regular occurrence.
I do think know if you have a customer service award but if you do then I would certainly nominate Andrew at Barnard Castle as a more than deserving recipient.
Saks Salons are now at the top of my Recommend To A Friend list.

Hi, i was very impressed with the advise given by sarah and my colour and cut was great, my only shock was my bill at the end, so expensive, have looked at your prices on the website and still cant understand the charge of £133, i have no complaints with sarah at all she was lovely, just far too much to spend, if soneobe could check to see if my bill is right i would be gratful.

Many thanks

Service and quality is exemplary.
The hairdressers very pleasant, friendly and accommodating.
Nice lattes and biscuits too, every time.

Loved the experience but a shame it's such a high tariff for me to come as regularly as I might like.
