Although Nicola usually does my hair today Stacy looked after me because Nicola was fully booked but I was equally pleased with Stacy. I was thoroughly satisfied with the whole experience today and my good friend Pauline was also seen to by Katie and was really pleased with the way Katie had styled her hair and she said when Katie massaged her head she was so very relaxed! Am so pleased as I had recommended her

I’ve been coming to Saks for more years than I care to remember and really wouldn’t go anywhere else. Nicola has looked after my hair for years and is an excellent stylist - friendly, knowledgeable and highly skilled in cutting and coloring. The salon is a lovely environment, beautifully presented with comfy chairs and high quality products. There are many areas in life where I actively seek the cheaper option but how great my hair looks and how good that makes me feel is not one of those areas. Nicola is worth every penny
