It is always lovely to come to Novo Hair. The staff are unfailingly friendly and welcoming. While having my hair washed, I can enjoy the seat’s in-built back massager and then I am asked if I would like a head massage. After this I am offered a coffee. What’s not to like?
Of course, the best thing about my visit is my wonderful hairdresser, Elaine. She has been my hairdresser for decades and cuts my hair beautifully. People often comment on my haircut and ask where I have had it done. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

As always, Nicola cuts and styles my hair exactly as I like it. She’s excellent.
The only problem today was the hairwash trainee who needed some extra guidance. I went home with a wet jumper and didn’t realise until I got home. However, she was very polite and had a nice personality.

As a clinically vulnerable person, I’ve struggled for a long time to find a safe hairdressing solution.

The team at Novo were absolutely brilliant. They advised me about the best day and time to come in where I could avoid crowds and reduce my risk of infection. Every member of staff I spoke to donned a face mask and my hair was cut in a private room at the back so I wasn’t too close to other people too. I felt so safe and well cared for. That quiet back room also really helped me with my sensory issues. It was lovely and quiet.

I had a wash, cut and blow dry. It was worth every penny. The whole experience was an absolute joy and my hair looks, feels and smells fantastic.

The staff are all lovely and I never felt rushed. My hairdresser also gave me lots of useful advice for styling and managing my hair type whilst also managing a chronic health condition. She really understood my struggles and was very kind and compassionate.

A 10/10 experience overall.

I have been coming to Novo hair salon for many years now and have always had Emma F as my stylist. Emma always makes sure to ask me on every appointment what I want done with my hair and if there are any changes I wish to make, she never takes it for granted that I always want the same, which is what I like, as some stylist can take you for granted if you have been with them for a long time and don’t really make an effort. Not Emma, she’s a lovely lady and always makes you feel welcome and listened to and also gives you good advice about styles and products. I have had a few hair style changes over the years and Emma has always pointed me in the right direction with them and made sure my hair is in lovely condition. All the members of staff are really pleasant and the salon is kept lovely and clean.
