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.
