I’ve been seeing Robyn for my hair for around two years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else! She always does a fantastic job and makes the whole experience enjoyable. Robyn is so friendly, warm and approachable, and it’s always a pleasure to see her. I’m always really happy with my hair and would highly recommend her to anyone

I really love my new hair ❤️

For years I wished to have a beautiful hairstyle. The kind of style that looks effortless, feels great and conjures confidence. Several salon experiences in the past had resulted in me looking after my own hair… I knew I was ready to seek a professional!

I needed to improve the natural condition of my hair. Of White/Afro-Caribbean heritage, my curls were craving hydration. An online search of Kerastase salons brought me to Saks York. A beautiful upstairs salon with thoughtful interior design, in a desirable area of the city. And the rest rooms… yes! Ten out of ten for first impressions.

I am so pleased to be guided by Ashley’s professional expertise. This is the only time that I have felt truly happy with a salon’s treatment of my hair. The appointment began with a deep conditioning treatment. In those 20 or so minutes, I enjoyed mooching around the salon. Some fun artworks, a groovy bar and an amazing selection of Kerastase products to choose from. My ‘hair therapy’ journey is likely to take about 12 months, so back-to-basics for months 1-3, with a mix-and-match selection of deep nourishing shampoo, conditioner, mask and hair oil.

Next, I’m in the styling chair. Delighted with the trust and rapport established by Ashley, I have at last found the perfect salon for me.

The whole team create a gorgeous vibe, from the welcome drinks to the relaxing happy house Friday soundtrack. I’m back in 6 weeks or so for my roots with Darcy, then with Ashley again for style maintenance and next level deep conditioning.

I really love my new hair ❤️
Thank you, Saks York.

I was very happy with my visit to Saks. I was seen promptly, and Jess took pains to understand exactly what I wanted. I liked the result, and will be back. The only downside was the uneven floor at the top of the stairs, which gave me a scary moment...

I can’t recommend this salon highly enough. Ashley is a brilliant stylist who really listens to what I want and always delivers a cut that suits me perfectly - he has a great eye for shape and takes the time to get every detail right. Darcy is equally talented as a colorist, creating exactly the tone and finish I’m after while keeping my hair healthy and glossy. Together they make a fantastic team, and I always leave feeling confident and looking my best. Highly recommend booking with Ashley and Darcy if you want a salon experience that combines skill, care, and genuinely lovely results.

Darcy as ever brilliant and listens to what you want. I’ve never had a hairdresser I have felt so confident in. Rinsing my colour was the lovely girl with red hair - just a bit of feedback - slow down your rinsing of colour - some landed on my face and has stained it. I’m not bothered as foundation covers all but some might not be as tolerant and I appreciate she is learning and her customer care was excellent - telling me what she was going to do next. A small thing that didn’t spoil my experience x
