It’s over! (well nearly…)
It's over! (well nearly...) Apologies for the delay since the last newsletter but we’ve been busy ensuring our salon is safe and ready for the (eagerly awaited) reopening on the Saturday 4th July. I certainly had no idea when I wrote my first ramblings on Day 2 (24th March, some 14 [...]

The wellbeing of our clients and staff is of paramount importance during these times and we ask that clients take a few minutes to read our guidelines below before visiting our salon. All clients are asked to supply and wear their own mask upon entering the salon. We will have [...]
online booking now available
The countdown begins.... Four weeks, 28 days, 672 hours, however we look at it, we can now actually start preparing ourselves for the start of the ‘new norm’. We will be opening our doors for business at 8am on Saturday 4th July – let me say that again, we will [...]
June Newsletter – still smiling!
cheers! Saturday the 4th of July truly is Independence Day! Not only is it the day when our friends across the Atlantic (well, with the exception of one particular American…. but the less said about that the better!) celebrate their independence, it is now officially the day when we [...]
Closely watching the R word……..
Day 49: and everything changes (not!) Apologies for the delay in writing this latest newsletter. I wanted to leave it until after Boris had spoken to allow us to use his ‘roadmap’ to give more clarity on the reopening of our salon. However, following his address, we have no more [...]
Day 40: Desperate times call for desperate measures!
Day 40: Desperate times call for desperate measures! Well it’s only been three days since our last newsletter, but hey..reading our newsletter means that it is 10 mins less time spent on social media – so that’s got to be a good thing yes? Boris tells us he’s going to [...]
We’re Recruiting!
When we said we were only on 'pause', we really meant it! Our growth plans remain unaltered and, as a result, we are looking for exceptionally professional and motivated stylists and apprentices who want to progress their career. During lockdown many people analyse their choices and careers and maybe now [...]
Day 36: NHS/Care Worker Competition – Nominate now!
DAY 36: Resist, Resist! Unless you were lucky enough to have visited novo during the last few days before lockdown, the chances are you are now overdue your salon visit. To some this is just a case of a few ends that really should come off, but for others, there [...]
Calling Dr Franks…
Day 29: Answers to difficult questions Is it Tuesday, is it Saturday, is it Easter yet? Will we ever feel comfortable passing people on the pavement again? and most importantly, who has bought all the flour? I don’t have the answers to these (and many other questions), however, I have [...]
Day 24: Remembering the good stuff:
Day 24 and our ‘Great Leader’ (well, his representative actually) has told us that we are looking at another three weeks of lockdown. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that I’d rather wait until we are confident we’ve broken the back of this crisis before we resume [...]
Day 18: and still it goes on…..
Well, we are well and truly into this ‘lockdown’ now and this is our third newsletter. This coming Monday was intended to be the first ‘review date’ and it appears certain that this lockdown will be extended for at least another three weeks (optimistic!). I would like to thank [...]
Day 9 Newsletter.
Day 9: Chanelling your inner Claudia Winkleman Today was a momentous day. Today I decided I can no longer spend my whole day in jogging bottoms.... something had to change! Hopefully our lovely clients have maintained their standards somewhat better in the hair department (those of you that haven’t just [...]
Day 2 – Surviving lockdown with roots!
Well, we are only on day two, and the question I’m being asked the most is: “What on earth can I do about my roots?” Clearly when Boris decided to only allow ‘essential services’ he didn’t factor how emotionally upsetting grey roots are (or roots in general – I don’t [...]
Coronavirus update
Sadly, our salon is temporarily closing for business at 6pm on Tuesday 24th March. We would like to thank our wonderful clients for your loyalty and support during these difficult times, and whilst we have done everything we can to keep our salon open for as long as possible, we [...]
