The Saks Awards 2025 marked a spectacular end to the brand’s half-century celebrations, bringing together salon teams for a night of glamour and recognition.
The Saks salon group promised their Saks Awards 2025 would be an exceptionally special event, and by all accounts, it truly delivered! This celebratory gathering served as the perfect culmination of Saks’ momentous 50th anniversary, adding the finishing touch to a year of milestones. Choosing London as the backdrop, the evening unfolded at the glamorous 12th Knot’s ‘rooftop playground’ perched above Sea Containers on the banks of the iconic River Thames – a location beloved by Saks salon owners and their teams for coming together.
A Night of Celebration and Recognition
The atmosphere was electric, moving from delightful canapés and warm kudos to heartfelt catch-ups, culminating in an unforgettable party. As the sun gracefully set over the city, this year’s deserving winners were unveiled, leading into a vibrant celebration that continued into the early hours. The following day, reports confirmed a well-deserved sense of exhaustion, indicating a truly memorable time was had by all.
Looking to the Future
Stephen Kee, Saks Managing Director, reflected on this significant period for the brand: “Celebrating 50 years has been an incredibly proud moment for us, and we’ve marked it in true Saks style. Our focus is now firmly on the future; on remaining relevant, evolving with the times, and continuing to be the destination of choice for both our customers and our dedicated teams.”
Janet King, Head of Marketing, also shared her thoughts on the profound impact of the awards: “The Saks Awards serve as a powerful celebration of the exceptional talent, unwavering passion, hard work, and deep dedication we witness across our entire network. It is always such a proud occasion to officially recognise those individuals who consistently go above and beyond. Furthermore, it truly helps to inspire others within our community to embrace that spark and pursue their ambitions, with the hopeful thought that next time, it will be their name we are calling.”
