Saks Awards 2026 Winners


Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Saks Awards are all about recognising the incredible talent, passion, hard work and dedication across our network – and this year’s winners absolutely smashed it.

From rising stars and standout stylists and therapists to ultimate salons and teams, the Saks Awards 2026 celebrated the people setting standards, raising the bar and inspiring everyone around them.

This year’s awards took on a slightly different approach, with winners revealed across the Saks Website and Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube channels at 9am on Friday 5th June. With surprise ‘special’ deliveries for all winners to celebrate in-salon with their teams and customers.

As the announcements rolled out online, and the in-salon celebrations unfolded, congratulations flooded feeds in true Saks style, with teams coming together online to shout out colleagues, friends and fellow winners across the network.
