What Makes Saks Different
Saks is the UK’s leading hair and beauty salon brand, renowned for style and excellence, with an award-winning network of franchise salons on the high street and in health clubs. Saks’ brand excellence has led to the company scooping many top accolades including Nationwide Salon Group of the Year, British Hair and Beauty Customer Care Awards, British Franchise Association Franchise Awards and British Hairdresser of the Year.
A worldwide leader in hair and beauty education, Saks is also officially acknowledged as the UK's Best Training Provider, awarded Beacon Status by the Quality Improvement Agency and grade ones by the Adult Learning Inspectorate, for providing outstanding training. This means that Saks is recommended as a benchmark for educational best practice across all industries. Saks Academies are best known for the ground breaking Saks fast-track full time and evening hairdressing and beauty courses for beginners where delegates may obtain NVQ qualifications in as little as 10 weeks, an industry first.
Saks Creative Director, Andrew Barton, is former British Hairdresser of the Year, and resident hair expert on Channel 4’s make-over show 10 Years Younger. In constant demand for fashion shows, seminars and session styling, Andrew Barton and the Saks Art Team – Saks’ hairdressing elite - regularly travel the world, sharing Saks’ brand excellence on an international platform.
Saks has an enviable company culture. Saks people are brand ambassadors, with passion, professionalism, and a desire to exceed the standards for which Saks is renowned – fabulous hairdressing, cutting edge beauty, and outstanding customer care. Saks has never embraced an ‘it’s cool to be rude’ culture – unfortunately all too common in the fashion industry. In short, Saks embodies exclusivity with approachability.
