SAKS Winter Festive Collection 2011

Saks Hair & Beauty India unveiled some uber stylish hair styles & looks for the festive season

October21, 2011, Mumbai: The evening was filled with style and glamour as SAKS unveiled the ‘Winter Festive Hair Collection 2011’. Styled by the Saks Art Team for the forthcoming festive season, this chic hair show made a style statement and helped SAKS embark on their Indian journey. Choreographed by Marc Robinson and wardrobe styled by Gavin Miguel, the show was hosted in the sprawling and luxurious 6,000 sq. ft. unisex salon on Waterfield Road, Bandra, Mumbai.

SAKS, UK’s leading hair and beauty salon group with over 1 million customers and with over 200 salons across UK launched in India offering unique and very exclusive services and treatments with a super-premium ambience and contemporary and classy décor. The all-white décor promises a soothing and calming effect while the tastefully done spa and mani-pedi rooms promise complete relaxation and stress-relief. Saks Hair & beauty has exclusively tied-up with Elemis UK’s leading luxury spa to offer signature face and body therapies, facials and massages for men & women to treat anti-ageing, face-lifting and skin lightening.

Capturing the essence of Autumn/Winter and focusing on exaggerated shapes and multi-textured and mixed fabrics, amplified by fashion trends, the Saks Art Team created this season’s ultimate hair trends – The Streets. The eclectic stand-out styles and colours predicted for the season promises to make many heads turn! Predictions were to texture and layers in the hair with a grown in feel. Fringes are back big time, longer and full of texture and movement. Colours brighten and shimmer, the perfect antidote to grey skies.

Talking about their autumn hair collection, Mr. Burzin Daver, CEO, Saks Hair & Beauty said, “Today, India is totally in tune with the international trends. Keeping this in mind, we would like to introduce the latest international hair trends to our customers and want to give them the latest & chic international hair styles. We at Saks believe in giving the best treatment and services to our customers and strive to provide the best and exclusive services and treatments.”

Saks aims to give their customers a totally VIP beauty experience that leaves you feeling a million bucks! Positioned as the premium unisex international salon, Saks plans to earn the loyalty of its customers by offering trendy looks, exclusive hi-end brands and a service portfolio that covers all their beauty needs. With today’s busy lifestyles, we could all benefit from some much needed ‘me’ time. Saks is one stop shop for hair care, beauty treatments & nail care. Saks India has major expansion plans in India and aims to open 30 salons in 3 years in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and other major cities of India.

For VIP and celebrity clients Saks has introduced ‘Royalty Suite’, a one-of-kind concept. A sprawling room with hair station, backwash, mani-pedi station, treatment bed and an attached bathroom. The idea behind this was to provide all Saks treatments in one room in complete privacy.

Mr. Burzin Daver, CEO of the Livewel Group has brought down Saks Hair & Beauty, UK’s biggest chain of Salon to Mumbai. And I had a chance to get a hair cut there from the senior stylist Darshan Yewalekar. (More about him here)

 

The whole experience was quite nice..I had a consultation at first about the kind of hairstyles I have had before and what exactly do I have in mind. Then after a rinse, the hair cut began and was followed up by the whole drying and setting up thing.

The ambience was quiet good. They have massage chairs which is on while your rinsing and washing is done and I am sure anyone would doze off..it being so relaxing.

There is a separate section for consultation where your scalp is analysed and the products are recommended to you accordingly…mostly of Kerastase

They have just started this salon a month and a half back and its commendable that they are doing such a good job…it looks quiet established.

Here are my before and after pictures..ok I changed the before picture taken there coz I did not like it :/

So overall I quite liked the haircut, the stylist, the salon..and it was a nice experience…

Check out their facebook page here and their blog here. Do let me know if you too get any services done..

P.S: I was offered services by the company for consideration but it has not affected my opinion about it.
