FRANCHISING WITH SAKS


Want to open a salon? When it comes to salon-success we wrote the book. We’ve been rocking the UK hair and beauty industry since 1974 and that kind of longevity is a big thing nowadays, right? Always evolving. Always training our people to be the best they can be and *always* putting our customers at the heart of what we do. We’re proud of our heritage and we’re proud of how we’ve evolved our franchising concept. One size doesn’t fit all. We’re flexible to make it work for you.

Not to mention we’re fully established members of the BFA (British Franchise Association) and have been for many years.

We’re looking for experienced hair and beauty people to open and own new Saks salons across the UK. If we sound like your kinda salon group get in touch for an informal, confidential chat.

THREE WAYS TO OPEN A SAKS SALON

We’re always on the hunt for industry people to become Saks salon owners – we love bringing you on-board and easing you through the process to success. With options to suit your circumstances… from opening a brand-new hair, hair and beauty or beauty salon, to taking over one of our existing salons when the opportunity arises.

We’ll help you find the right spot (big or boutique) and give your salon a gorgeous look and provide ongoing training and partnerships with best hair and beauty brands. Building your pre-launch buzz and gorgeous marketing materials plus all the business scenarios known to salon owners of today. We’ll even help with your social media and actually run your website for you. Yup, that good.
