Ashley has been cutting my hair for years - he totally understands hair and gives great advice and cuts - especially on curly hair. My whole family go to Saks - it’s not just a haircut - it’s an experience where you feel at home, you can relax, you’re well looked after and attended to by Ashley’s excellent team. I’ve been to many hair salons and this is the best by far.

Really enjoyed my time with Holly today. Excellent job with my cut and colour. I was really impressed with how on time everything was and it was a slick operation. My head message was wonderful and I love that complimentary wine is on offer! I stuck to cappuccino this time! Definitely feels like you get a lot of bang for your buck at Saks and its a luxury experience. Really top notch and I look forward to returning.

Louise and Holly!

As always, an amazing time at Saks York!
Relaxing, pampered, and a good catch up with the girls!

Louise expertly did my colour, which I just adore. I love seeing the different balayage tones coming through from under the darker top colour..So happy with my colour!

Holly did my cut today, and took me from a blunt bob to a more structured, layered and modern look, through chatting and her understanding of how comfortable I was with a change. Delighted!

The whole experience at Saks York is blissful and relaxing; and it’s also lovely to see how Saks are investing in training new people to come through the industry 💖 Thank you for my head massage 💆🏻‍♀️

Thank you all ❤️

Saks has always been an oasis of calm for me throughout all the years I've been coming to the salon. I've seen apprentices blossom into stylists as they've qualified but one thing that has never changed has been the standard of service and friendly atmosphere which Ashley has insisted upon.
If I could award 11 out of 10 I would: that's what this deserves.

I have to make a lot of decisions in life. The one thing I don't have to decide or think about though is my hair. Ashley has been fully in charge of that for years. He knows what styles suit me, he knows I get bored easily and like to change frequently, he tells me each time what hair cut I am getting that day, and its always glorious. That's the system we have worked out together and reflects my preference, I ask him to decide and tell me. He also knows I dont have much time to style and that I sometimes leave too much time between appointments. He cuts my hair so that it looks great as it lies naturally, and so that it grows out well. I love my Saks hair days, my cup of tea and moment of peace. Its one of my favourite things.
