My Experience with SAKS: 


The whole experience was very nice. The salon is very unique with all white interiors and super premium ambience that instantly makes you forget all the worries and indulge yourself in little "ME" time.


They offer exclusive services and treatments and they use only Kerastase products for hair treatments; renowned U.S brand ‘Young Blood’ for make-up and Elemis for their beauty and spa treatments. This helps them in maintaining their quality even further.

They are introducing Saks royalty room in India, where one can do all their treatments in the luxury of a private room. This has been specially introduced for celebrities and their VIP clientele.

Saks offers a 360-degree solution to all hair related issues. With a Cosmetologist and Dermatologist present in the salon, a customer can avail all the care she needs under one roof.

I got a chance to get consultation and haircut done from Mr. Naeem who was kind enough to give me insights and tips for hair care. Then followed the whole protocol of - hair wash, hair cut , blow dry and setting. 

The overall experience was very nice and I am very happy with my new haircut !!! I thank Naeem for suggesting me this style and giving me tips on maintaining my tresses.... I will surely consider your tip of getting Highlights done :) :)
