Very happy with my choice of salon. First time I have used Novo and was not disappointed. On…read morearrival I was immediately offered a drink and only had to wait for 5 mins for my stylist to finish up. Paige then took me through a very detailed consultation before I had a wonderful shampoo with massage. Paige then continued to provide a very professional cut keeping me informed throughout and knowing I cannot see without my glasses, ensuring I put them on at intervals to ensure I was happy- which I was and am. Very happy! Finally to the payment and I was very pleasantly surprised that it was a fair price for such a good cut and service. Thanks Novo I'll be back for sure

A little while ago I moved from this area and one of my biggest regrets was not being able to visit…read morethis hair saloon anymore, as quite simply it has been the best hairdressers I have every known. Firstly it is a stylish salon but without any of that 'cliqueness' that some salons are so good at. You always get a unrushed consultation to decide what you want, a good haircut with a really nice shampoo. Staff seem genuinely friendly and it is a very comfortable experience. The only downside is the huge amount of money Southend Council charge for carparking. I cant recommend this salon enough.

Delighted to find someone who really understands Curly hair. A curly hair expert right here in SS1…read more I have tried top salons in London paying three figure sums and I can tell you that Lee is the best I have found. Lee takes his time and gets the shape spot on. Usually I have to wait two weeks for my hair to settle in but not with Lee. Indeed Lee was recommended to me by word of mouth when I stopped a lady in Waitrose and asked who cut her amazing hair. On top of this he is a really nice person. Indeed all the people were delightful. Fussing over my baby and being very kind when I needed to stop for 10 mins to change and feed her. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive. So many salons make me shrink with the b***chy gossip and there was none of that. Cannot recommend this salon enough. The only bad thing I can say is that I wish I had found it sooner.

I asked for this Friday and was told that Vicky is on holiday. "That's ok" I say "I'll have another stylist" "No you can't" I'm told "it has to be Vicky but she's away, or you'll have to pay full price" Bearing in mind that Vicky is a senior stylist and I wasn't bother about having a beginner or anything in between! New girl on phone was very polite but the receptionist in background sounded so grumpy. I am away on holiday the following week so there was no movement for me, but they were not willing to offer me another stylist as one was on holiday... Wow what great customer service!!!

They offer all of the treatments you'd expect - waxing, massage, reflexology, skin treatments, pedicures and manicures. The aromatherapy facial is my favourite - halfway through you get a head and shoulder massage - you end up feeling blissful and your skin problems are all sorted. The staff are incredibly friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. They spend a long time talking to you before the start of each treatment to find out the results you want to see and make sure you're happy with the products they'll use. All of the treatments I've had there have been worth every penny.
