Tête-à-tête with the Stylists @ Saks


We have been Uk’s favourite hair and beauty salon for years now and over one million happy UK customers have experienced the Saks' difference, first hand. And, now we are here to transform the way Indian women look and feel. We want to make sure that when you come and get the Saks experience you leave feeling like a million bucks.

Be it a beautiful hairstyle, a colour treatment or just a simple trim to your mane, our stylists know their trade in and out. If you want the best of the best, Saks hairdressers are the finest of them all. So, here’s introducing our team of hair stylists who are creating magic every day at Saks. 



Our Stylist: Darshan Yewalekar

Darshan Yewalekar, has been styling hair for the last eight years and it is his aspiration to make it big in his dream city, Mumbai. Hair styling lets his creative side out and he feels one with his Muse. " I prefer working with difficult and unmanageable hair. It's challenging and gives me the adrenaline rush to achieve the desired style." And, this fighting attitude helps him in creating magic everyday. 

 
“Hair is that one thing that makes one feel special and expressive, it changes your entire personality and gives you confidence”, says, Raja, a senior stylist with us. Hairdressing runs in his blood as his father inspired this art in him. For him, hairstyling is not a profession but a passion.

And, his colleague Alam shares the same view. Currently working with Saks, he has had more than 10 years experience in this industry and to him this is an art, which he has mastered yet he feels he is learning more and more every single day. Alam says the only reason he is a stylist today is because, “I wanted to be the one to see the satisfaction on people's faces when they walk out with a gorgeous smile and an equally gorgeous haircut to go along.”

Our Stylist: Naeem

“Hair dressing was a family business. I had other aims. But having got no other choices, I became a hairdresser. But now if you ask me, I am very glad I took it up. Probably if it wasn’t for hair dressing, I would have missed out on something so creative,” says our style guru from Bhopal, Naeem. He has dedicated more than 15 years of his life to this creativity and has now curved out a place for himself. He believes that “inspiration comes from everything” and that his travels through Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and London have helped him learn a lot.
  


Shephali, who is a Home Science graduate, also believes that her travels abroad have helped her a lot in understanding people and their needs. When in South Africa she “was inspired by the different hairstyles sported by people there” and that has helped in expanding her creative horizon. She believes she is very creative and loves “exploring trends and incorporating” them in her creations.

Our Stylist: Sisnel
Creative like her is another of our senior stylist, Sisnel. She had started her career as an in flight Stewardess, “however it did not satisfy my creative instincts” and she chose to pursue her passion over her profession. “Hairdressing is not only creatively satisfying for me but is excellent for financial stability, it showcases my hidden talent of creating new looks and makes people happy” says our highly skilled stylist.


At Saks, we are part of a huge growing family and these brilliantly talented people make this family even more special with each passing day. We believe in one on one conversation with our patrons, and our stylists become our hands, eyes and mouthpieces. Because of their tremendous dedications, Saks grows every day a little bit more.

We thank our hairdressers for their hardwork and passion and welcome you all to come and get pampered by them. We know it is worth in magic!

Do you Believe in Magic?


We, at Saks Hair & Beauty, believe in magic. We believe that the world around us can be made magical with a simple smile, a glow inside and a little wave of the wand. We believe that every woman counts, every woman is beautiful and deserves to feel special and confident.


Since the inception of our very first salon in Darlington in 1974, we have become a unique and colourful brand and are presently the largest brand of salons in the U.K. With more than 190 high street salons in the U.K alone, we are one of the biggest names in the industry of hairdressing and style. Our name has become synonymous with beauty and style.
 
Our hairdressers and trainers have won many top accolades including Nationwide Salon Group of the Year, UK's Best Training Provider, British Hair and Beauty Customer Care Awards, British Franchise Association Franchise Awards, Best Corporate Marketing Campaign, Top Training Scheme, Best Local Marketing and Top Local Training Development.

But, the best awards have come from the thousands of excellent recommendations from our patrons.


We have travelled the world, from UK, Italy, South Africa to Dubai and now we have landed on the Indian shores. Our mission: to spread the joy of looking beautiful, the Saks way. After opening our flagship salon in Mumbai (Bandra W) we have plans to extend our services to Delhi and Bangalore in the coming years.


Bandra W salon

Our Bandra W salon is unique, very exclusive in services and treatments, with a super-premium ambience, which are at par with international standards. We have spared nothing to make sure that we meet our patrons’ needs and expectations.

We know Mumbai is the town of the crème de la crème of India. Thus, we have introduced the Saks Royalty Room. This is an exclusive private room where celebrities and VIPs can do all their treatments with the utmost of care and love. We also understand our patrons’ needs and realize how important it is to avail all the care one needs under the same roof. Thus, we have our very own Cosmetologist and Dermatologist who with our trained hairdressers give a 360-degree treatment. We know how particular you are about what products you use, and so are we. That’s why we only trust Kerastase products for hair treatments; renowned U.S brand ‘Young Blood’ for make-up and Elemis for our beauty and spa treatments.


We are special and we want to make you feel special but we do not wish to come across as a luxury brand that very few people can aspire for. We want to become a ménage(think on terms of magic) name that all can trust and love

We are Saks. We are Special.

And now, we are in India.

And, with a little bit of magic and your support we are here to stay.
