Really delighted with my Keratise hair treatment. I had been thinking about it for quite a while and was not disappointed with the results. My hair was difficult to manage, mainly due to frizziness. The treatment has been very successful and I am delighted with it

I have just had my hair done this week and cannot recommend SAKS highly enough. Ashley is a true master of his craft. He handled my hair with an impressive blend of expertise, care and genuine thoughtfulness. I am thrilled with the beautiful result. And the rest of Ashley’s team also deserves praise. The girls who looked after the other aspects of my hair were lovely, kind and good at what they do (and thank you for the lovely coffee and tea you kindly made 😊).

The entire atmosphere felt calm, attentive and professional. I left feeling thoroughly cared for and very happy with the beautiful results. Thank you so very much 😊

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.
