CHRIS
SALON OWNER/FRONT OF HOUSE
Our boss with over 40 years’ experience in hair and beauty. Having opened the salon in 2000 - what a journey it’s been. She loves that her and the team put customers first. Between running a successful salon, her family and not forgetting her fur babies Otto and Betsy, Chris loves going to gym and holidays – they’re absolute life to Christine and her husband, mainly cruises and city breaks. Ask her where she hasn’t been!
NICOLA
SALON MANAGER
Nicola has been with Saks for over 25 years. She came to Chester-le-Street when it opened in 2000 and was promoted to Salon Manager in 2009. With many hairdressing successes from winning several awards to becoming a L’Oreal Colour Specialist and everything in between. Nicola enjoys the gym, catching up with friends and being a devoted footy mum. But holidays and weekends away with family are what she loves most.
STACEY
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Stacey’s been with us since she was just 15, starting out as a Saturday girl and continuing on to be the successful stylist she is today. Completing her L’Oreal Colour Specialist degree, being a Kerastase Ambassador and Avant-garde finalist are her special hairdressing moments, as well as being in-salon educator for our apprentices. Stacey is a mam of two boys, so life is football mad, spending most of her times in fields. She also enjoys nothing better than food and drink with family and friends.
STACEY LOUISE
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Known in the salon as ‘Stacey Louise’, she joined us in 2007 as an Apprentice and continued on to be the fantastic stylist she is now. Stacey has completed many education courses including the L’Oreal Colour Specialist degree, Saks courses and is Kerastase Ambassador. At home, Stacey has her hands full with her little boy, so her free time is spent in soft play, toddler groups and play dates with friends. She also likes to enjoy food and drinks with friends or just a simple night in with a takeout and Netflix.
ZOEY
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Zoey joined the salon in 2007 as a Saturday girl, climbing her way up to Creative Director. Her many hair achievements include being one of the company’s top stylists, being a L’Oreal Colour Specialist and winning awards across Saks and L’Oreal national competitions. Being a fur mama to two crazy but beautiful dogs is Zoey’s passion. She loves to spend time with her husband with food and drink, holidays or taking the dogs out for long walks and trips to the caravan.
MEL
CERATIVE DIRECTOR
Mel’s had a love of hairdressing since the age of 14, when she first started working as a Saturday in her local salon. She then completed a hair apprenticeship at Saks, working for a northern salon before moving to the south, where she continued her career with Saks. And now, we’re pleased to say she’s now working for Saks in Chester-le-Street. Mel loves creating stunning hair up looks and creating vivid colour. Away from the salon, Mel enjoys spending time with family and friends and planning her next adventure away.
EMMA
SENIOR STYLIST
Emma demonstrates just how much of a natural in hairdressing she is each and every day. She’s a friendly girl and we love having her as part of our team. In Emma’s free time you’ll find her in a shopping centre, extending her endless collection of shoes and bags. She also loves a good cocktail on a night or afternoon out with friends.

Oliva started her journey with Saks straight out of school as an apprentice, and she has since blossomed into a skilled stylist with a true flair for transformation.

Outside the salon, Oliva enjoys quality time with her two beloved dogs, Skye and Autumn, and proudly embraces her inner geek.
