Yes, so my name is Natalie Jenkins and we're at Sakslea City Hair of Beauty and I manage
00:07
this Saks.
00:08
Can you just tell us a little bit about this relationship that you've got with Saks, when
00:12
did it come to fruition?
00:14
Yes, so we've been a Saks salon for just over two years, we were independent beauty before
00:19
that.
00:20
We wanted to introduce hair services as well and that's when we got in touch with Saks
00:24
and we decided to join forces with them.
00:27
How long have you personally been in the industry?
00:31
Just over 15 years now in beauty, in hair just two years.
00:36
And have you seen many changes at all?
00:39
Yes, I mean there's always changes in our industry, the industry is always developing,
00:45
always new treatments, new brands coming out so we need to keep up to date with those.
00:49
Obviously there's been lots of changes with the economy and with Covid as well so we've
00:54
had to adapt to those as well.
00:57
You've just won a big big award, can you just tell us a little bit about the award that
01:02
you've just had and the sort of year that you've had as well?
01:05
Yes, so we've had a really good year this year, it's been really strong.
01:09
So in the summer we won the Beauty Salon of the Year at the Saks Awards, so that was the
01:15
second awards that we were part of so we were absolutely delighted to win that, the team
01:20
were absolutely over the moon.
01:22
And we've also had two of our senior stylists enter and get through to the finals of the
01:27
L'Oreal Colour Trophy as well in the summer, so that was a great experience for them as
01:32
well.
01:33
The salon must be buzzing after that sort of accolade.
01:37
Yes, definitely, yes, I mean the team all get behind each other when anybody enters
01:42
any awards and everyone's just really excited and they can't wait to see what they create
01:47
in those awards as well.
01:49
And what do you offer your clients here in Leeds?
01:52
So we like to offer our clients the whole experience, so it's not just about coming
01:57
in for their hair or their beauty treatment, we like to give them the whole client experience
02:01
as well.
02:02
We feel it's really important with all of our busy lives that we have for people to
02:06
come in and enjoy the time that they've got here and reward themselves as well and just
02:11
really relax and just be given that really good experience and obviously leave the salon
02:15
with either beautiful hair or beautiful nails or whatever they've come in for as well.
