The Saks Awards are all about recognising the incredible talent, passion and hard work across the brand’s national network of salons – and this year’s winners absolutely smashed it!
From rising stars and standout stylists and therapists to ultimate salons and teams, the awards celebrated the people setting standards, raising the bar and inspiring everyone around them.
This year’s Saks awards took on a slightly different approach, with winners revealed across the Saks website and social channels at 9am on Friday 5 June. With surprise ‘special’ deliveries arriving in-salon soon afterwards to help winners celebrate with their teams and customers.
As the announcements rolled out online and the celebrations unfolded, congratulations flooded feeds in true Saks style, with shoutouts from family, friends, team mates and fellow winners.
A huge congratulations to the 2026 Saks Award Winners!
