"Having started nervously on my first day at the Academies, I have progressed from an absolute beginner into a confident, fully qualified hairdresser in just 26 weeks! I benefited from being taught by an array of educators, including members of the Saks Art Team, in smaller classes, which meant one to one tuition was always available. The educators really pushed me into learning different styles and techniques and I now have the confidence to pursue my career. The Academies have a very warm atmosphere and I built up a strong relationship with everyone. My only regret is that I didn’t do this course sooner!" - Karen Hamilton, Beginners Student

"Amazing experience! I’m glad that I chose Saks - friendly team, wonderful students and amazing educators. I have learnt so much and would like to thank Saks for the impact they have made on my new career which will bring a brilliant future!" - Paolo Gotardo, Beginners Student
