Let’s Skip To The Good Parts
About Saks Gathering and Awards 2022. Oh what a day. And night. It was incredible to finally get together with loads of fabulous faces from our salons up and down the country along with Saks HQ team and Saks Artists.
Saks West Bridgford: love and peace maaan
It’s been too long and this time we wanted to make it extra-special to say thanks for everything our teams do for our customers and for each other every day at Saks. And we think this tiny selection of pix here give a great flavour of the day.
Stacey at Saks Doncaster: We’re here. Let’s GO
FESTIVAL VIBE
Date… 12 June 2022. Setting… Wyboston Lakes. Vibe… channeling our own festival pre-Glasto 5-0. Live music on the main stage, stalls, games, butterflies on stilts, mirrored men, street food, games, dancing and singing in a field. Then a big awards ceremony and after-party.
Saks Guisborough: photo bombing
Dress code? Festival-glam. SO rocked that. Much hugging, laughter and happy tears at actually seeing each other. With sunnies, glitter on our faces and in our hair, in Docs, flatforms and trainers… day to night bliss right?
OUR SAKS AWARDS 2022 WINNERS
As twilight set in we all headed into the awards ceremony to applaud our very-deserved winners. And our creative director Luke Puckrose jetted straight in from a gig at Lake Como to host – said he wouldn’t miss this for the world!

SKEE SAYS
Our MD Stephen Kee says: “Our awards recognise our superstars from our salons up and down the country and reward them for their hard work. There are no flukes here. It’s all measured by dedication to work, consistently, day in day out. I really want to congratulate all finalists and especially our winners. You’re doing amazing work and you deserve recognition.
“It was great seeing everyone together after not being able to get together for so long. Everyone had a fantastic time. Very proud of everyone at Saks and where we are in 2022.”
After-party: it’s a yes from Saks Chester
