A wizard with the scissors, amazing customer care. Always a warm welcome from the whole team and a hairdresser that actually listens to what you want, always a bonus when she does her shampoo herself, best scrub and massage 💕

As always Gemma was superb!
However, your appointment system is diabolical.
I made an appointment for 16 December, 2 months prior, but was told I didn’t have this appointment scheduled.
I had to take an inconvenient appointment for 9th December, as nothing else was available.
Then today I get a reminder for 16th!

I had to rearrange my appointment due to childcare and Sy was very accommodating trying to fit me in. I arrived in a fluster, rushing around after children as is the normal. However 2 hours later, a coffee and a couple of biscuits along with a fab haircut and colour treatment, made me feel a million dollars. Keep up the good work Sy x

First time visit to Saks. Booked in with Sy for highlights. He kindly explained my hair wouldn’t be able to take anymore bleach for a few months. I wasn’t being fobbed off, it was genuine concern for my hair. So took his advice and had a treatment and a cut and blow dry. Booked in for further treatments and hopefully il be able to get a colour in the next few months. I’ve never had a stylist recommend treatments and products. Thank you for your honesty and I will see you in December

Stylist are brilliant in what they do. Unfortunately Gemma who normally styles my hair wasn't available. So I went with Georgia. My appointment time was 10.15, although I was a little early, Georgia did a lovely job in washing my hair although the cut was quick I did asked her if she had cut it in an integrated bob she said yes, but the cut didn't look like anything like I had before. I felt a little disappointed. I phone for my husband to come for me when my cut and blow dry was done at 10.40. He also didn't even notice or think I had been in the salon long, to have anything done to my hair
I am disappointed in the cut, The cost aswell of £54 for the 35 minutes the time it took.
