I reaaaaaaaaally like this place and completely support the owner…read more But. I say this in a very particular way. Don't come here if you're looking for something fancy. No, really... You're not going to get it. It's very casual, and I'm sure the hair stylist is not making a ton of money from it. She does it because she really loves it and loves people. She even has a book shelf where people can take a book for a donation which goes to support some hospice. If you want some place where the people are genuine, chatty, and look after you, this is a good salon. It's unisex and no-frills, but you get to know good people in the process.

We're not exactly running low on hairdresser's/barber shops in the local area and whilst there's…read moreplenty in Formby to keep me coiffured until the end of time, I recently decided to take a trip to Paul's in Birkdale village on the recommendation of a couple of my friends who had been going there a while. On first impressions, the shop itself is quite small and narrow but instead of this feeling claustrophobic, it actually feels quite cosy (well, as cosy as a man could feel sitting in a glorified dentist's chair whilst another man touches your head for half an hour). The barbers there are skilled and friendly enough to be chatty and easy to talk to whilst not going overboard with small talk. The cuts there are standard barber fare as you would expect but are done with a precision that left me very satisfied both with my haircut and with the price, which was very reasonable at a fraction of the price you'd pay for a stylist in a salon. A great place to go if you need a quick cut or trim whilst you're in the area.

"Debbie" has…read morebeen colouring and styling my hair for years who tackles every different style and idea I've asked of her - cant fault her. When she is on holiday, i am just as pleased when other staff have stepped in. There's a happy-go-lucky atmosphere within the salon with plenty of light-hearted banter between customers and staff alike. Very professional salon! Would recommend.

Confusingly, there are currently two Trimmers hairdressing shops in Formby, both with the same…read morename. This Trimmers is located at the heart of Formby in the village and specialises in women's hairdressing. However, this branch also offers men's hairdressing and styling and this is why I visited (I'm not a woman, in case you hadn't guessed already). The shop itself is bright and split in two so that the men and women are divided by a mirrored wall, ensuring that any man who is self-conscious about getting his hair cut in a salon need not question his sexuality as he can just sit there and pretend he isn't in the company of a group of gossipping women. As it turns out, the divide isn't needed as you are made to feel relaxed and comfortable whilst there, helped by the relaxing shampoo treatments on offer by the talented workers there. On the each of the occasions I have been there, I have left happy enough with the finished product (I'm never completely happy with my haircuts, ever) and although the prices can be quite steep depending on the level of stylist you use, its nothing unreasonable when put in comparison with other local hairdressers.

Called in off chance of an appointment on a Monday. Was given appointment immediately.

This haircut would cost £100 in London and was only a fraction of that. Will definitely be going again and would reccomend anyone to check them out.

Amazing value for money! Having an ever changing work schedule I find it hard to book appointments…read morein advance, I had tried many times before in this salon and there is a slight wait for appointments (never more than a few weeks), and on the off chance popped into Saks and I was delighted they could fit me in the very next day due to a cancellation. Having heard such brilliant things about the team, I had waited a long time for my appointment and was extremely pleased! Everything about my appointment was fantastic. The salon itself is very stylish and clean, but not pretentious in the slightest. Not being a regular client, I was surprised how much everyone there makes you feel so welcome, from the top stylist to the juniors. I had my appointment with Natalie, who took the time to thoroughly understand what my wants and needs were when it came to my colour and style. There was no rush she took extra time to go through pictures with me until we found the perfect do! I am especially hard to please, I get an image in my head of how I want my hair and I always feel disappointed when it turns out nothing like I asked for. However, in this case I am for the first time SO happy with my hair. She is a super talented stylist, really understands current trends and what, more importantly, will suit you. I can see the rest of the team are equally as dedicated and masterful. They are superb and I REALLY recommend Saks in Lytham if you haven't already tried it. It's no surprise they have won numerous awards!
