Meet our Saks Yarm FACES
Our Saks hairdressers in Yarm go bigger and better than ever. For over three decades, our hair salon has been tending the tresses of the women of Yarm, building an incredible reputation for excellence and genuine customer care, with years and years experience between our team.
And to make sure you’re always in expert hands, every stylist completes at least three years of training before qualifying. We’re constantly upskilling too, with regular education from our Saks Artists on the latest cuts, colours and styling techniques. Plus, did you know every member of our team is a short-hair specialist? Precision cuts and chic crops are in our nature – it’s what we’re known for.
We don’t shy away from winning awards either! Saks Yarm has been named Saks Hair Salon of the Year FIVE times, and two faces you know well – Dani and Amy – have both received Special Recognition Awards too. Want the full lowdown on our brilliant Yarm team? Get the goss here…
