20 years of Saks Beauty


Reading Time: 4 minutes

Yet another super-special year at Saks… this year we’re thrilled to be celebrating 20 amazing years of Saks Beauty!

FROM BACK IN THE DAY…

Way back in 1995 to a salon soundtrack of ‘Back for Good’, ‘Common People’ and the Britpop beat our customers were so-loving their hair by Saks that they quite rightly got to thinking they wanted more… of course we listened… and Saks Beauty was born.

With beauty rooms opening up in our north-east salons we started as we meant to go on with a beauty menu that featured Elemis facials and massages from day one, along with waxing, nails and tanning services.

As with Saks Hair, we always wanted to stand out from the high-street crowd and quickly put the emphasis on adding ‘Saks-specifics’ into our treatments and services by honing our knowledge, expertise and consultation skills into a Saksy beauty recipe for success.

… TO OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD BEAUTY

We were the first to launch teeth whitening and injectables as high street services. Non-surgical face lift treatments, Oxygenator anti-ageing facials added the wow-factor to our offering.

Today we’ve got beauty completely covered from head-to-toe with anti-ageing treatments, brows, lashes and makeup for the face and massages, tanning, body contouring, nails and hair removal for the body.

Our Advanced Beauty menu includes 3D-lipo for fat and cellulite reduction, IPL laser hair removal and an array of non-invasive facial peels to combat all skin complaints.

Every single bit of you can be relaxed, invigorated and transformed by our expert therapists. And we’re not just offering beauty within our hair salons as we’ve got now our eyes on opening more salons dedicated totally to the world of Saks beauty.

In celebration of 20 years of Saks Beauty, 2015 also sees the official launch of our Express Beauty option in Saks salons; a perfect grooming-essentials menu for when we’re attending to your hair and your time is precious.
