A cut above the rest

Yuzu has recently completed a series of online projects for Saks Hair & Beauty.

Saks is the UK’s leading hair and beauty franchise group with an award winning international network of salons and training academies.

The group’s flagship salon in Covent Garden is home to British Hairdresser of the Year Nominee 2003-2005 and resident hair expert on hit make-over show 10 Years Younger, Andrew Barton.

A comprehensive range of services for men and women is offered throughout Saks salons nationwide. Saks has its own brand of professional styling tools, Saksessories, and these, plus Saks gift vouchers are available in salons and online.

Originally wanting to add an e-Commerce section to the Saks website, Yuzu worked alongside the Saks Marketing team to review their online communication needs. As a result Yuzu have redeveloped the Saks website using the Yuzu content management system. This allows Saks to administer and edit all content on the website. A scaled down system was also developed to allow each Saks salon a Microsite.

To meet the E-Commerce requirements Saks had, Yuzu provided its award winning E-Commerce solution, with slight modifications to include some bespoke requirements.

The final project was to develop a site to provide E-Learning. Yuzu developed an education site that contains all course content, interactive learning and animation. Yuzu also re developed the companies Key Skill Assessment software so that it would run online. Allowing users remote access to a system that traditionally required the hire of a room and travel.
