I had a half head highlights by Addison who is an apprentice and being trained by Lillie. What a lovely experience, I am sooo pleased with my hair, fabulous highlights and then a great cut all created by Addison with Lillie overseeing and guiding if necessary. I would advise anyone to try the apprentice training on a Monday afternoon

Had a great cut and colour today with Kevin. He’s clearly very experienced and good at translating what you think you want into something that actually suits your hair. I’ve learned to trust his judgement — he gets what I’m going for and is honest about what will and won’t work. The salon is friendly, relaxed and professional. It’s not intimidating at all. The coffee is good.

My first time to Novo and i was warmly welcomed to the salon. I was also very happy to be a hair model. I had a trainee stylist called Lexie under the watchful eye of Lillie. She was incredibly attentive and cut and styled my hair perfectly. I was very impressed with the end result. I loved the products that she used and my hair felt really soft and shiny. Well done Lexie!!

As ever, I received superb attention from both Emma ( as my colourist) and Elaine, who cuts my hair. The results of my salon visit are always beautiful colour and an excellent cut, both of which have been remarked upon and have led me to recommend Novo to both friends and family. It is always a pleasurable experience to visit and I cannot fault the service I receive. Well done all! X

Lovely experience and a warm welcome. I was happy with the style and it is how I asked, but after washing my hair I realised it had been thinned rather than layered as I’d asked. My hair now feels broken with wispy ends, and it’s never needed thinning with this style before. I just wish this had been explained or checked with me during the appointment. I’ll know for next time to ask to avoid it.

I was lucky enough to have my hair coloured again by Addison, an apprentice, today and she knew exactly how to help me brighten it up without losing the basic colour. The bouncy blow out was so lovely. Addison is confident and has come on so much since my last colour very impressed.
