Skill level and hair cuts superb
Atmosphere stressful often asked to change my hair appointment time by half hour to an hour by receptionist with poor
People skills
Missed an appointment time by 10 mins and was informed in an off hand manner by receptionist l asked if l could still come if l was there within 5 minutes
Arrived to have this offer rescinded and was met by a disgruntled receptionist who refused to meet my eye until l apologised for a third time
Atmosphere further compromised by different hair dressers vying to sell products to same client ( hair growth tablets) and having to be told to desist .

Fiona & Joseph have looked after my hair for nearly 10 years. I recently moved to the NWof UK and popped down to Saks in Ben Rhydding for a wash & blow dry. Loved coming back to trusted professionals and my hair looked great. Thanks Joseph but missed Fiona! It’s difficult to trust another hairstylist so it was a boost coming back to my ex-village 🙌

I had my first apt with Fiona on 09/02/26 and it wont be my last. Awesome consultation and I felt confident as I headed to the basin Fiona knew exactly what I wanted. She made me feel very at ease and very much "at home" in the salon. Her knowledge and experience shines through; so much so I've made a 2nd apt for next week. Thank You SO much Fiona you were amazing

I had an amazing experience getting my highlights done! My hairdresser was incredibly professional, patient, and attentive from start to finish. Joseph really listened to what I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions that suited my hair type and skin tone perfectly. The highlights came out beautifully blended, natural, and exactly the look I was hoping for. The whole appointment felt relaxed and welcoming, and I left feeling confident and refreshed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for expert color work and great service!

I have been very happy with how Fiona has cut my hair for several years now. She asks each time how the cut has been and what I would like to be done which I have found many stylists don’t ask. In addition, Fiona is always punctual and herbappointments do not run over.
I used to have my hair coloured at a different salon but decided to let Fiona colour it -again I had a very thorough consultation with her beforehand and am very pleased with the result.

I had the annual balayage, toner, root colour, hair treatment and cut last week - perfect for Christmas - and spent a whole morning in the pampering care of Fiona's hands. The time flew as hair treatments were interspersed with engaging conversation, flicking through magazines, hot beverages and communal laughter. I left the hair salon looking and feeling like a million bucks!!

I arrived in Ilkley after a 7hr drive up from South Devon on Friday afternoon 28.11.25. Rang the Saks salon around the corner from The Wheatley Arms where I usually stay. Thankfully Joseph managed to fit me in for a wash & blow dry on the Saturday morning! I was tired out after my drive & a busy week at work - so very happy at getting washing my hair etc myself out of the way. Will definitely use Saks on each of my forthcoming visits! It's now Monday - back in my office - & hair still looks fabulous!

Joseph at Saks Ilkley is an exceptional hairdresser and a true professional. He’s been cutting my hair since 2009, and every visit is consistently excellent. Not only does he deliver fantastic results, but he also creates a welcoming and friendly atmosphere—we always have a great chat during my appointments. His attention to detail and personal touches, like giving me a Christmas card every year, make the experience feel genuinely special. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair!

Fiona does my hair as well as my two sons. She always does a fabulous job of my hair and listens to what I want, and gives good advice about style, colour and condition. The appointments are always relaxing and enjoyable.
My sons are 2 and 5 and she is always patient throughout. They are always happy to have their haircut as they have always had a great experience!

Fiona is easy to communicate with and always tries to accommodate me with last minute appointments or changes. I would definitely recommend Fiona!
