SAKS CHESTER BLOG


The hairdressing team at our Saks Chester salon are constantly pushing boundaries creatively as well as fighting women’s cancers with The Eve Appeal!  Remember when Nikki did 24 hours of hairdressing? Or the “no-speaking Saturday”? And our Tough Mudders are legendary. This is where you can get the full low-down and all the goss from your faves.
