Loraine makes a painful experience bearable. Tattoo removal isn’t fun but it has been really effective and the discomfort is minamal. Really happy with the treatment and Loraine has a lovely, knowledgeable manner.

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

I didn’t quite know what to expect at first but I must say, throughout all my treatments, not once did I feel uncomfortable or uneasy. Firstly, the consultation was filled with useful and honest information. It was extremely easy to talk to Loraine and I felt completely comfortable discussing my personal details including my medical history. I was talked through what would happen and what to expect and was exactly as said. There were a few occasions where I struggled with the pain but not once did I feel silly or like I was wasting time. Loraine chatted with me and helped me through at my own pace and never made me feel rushed or embarrassed. I have never felt so at ease when practically naked with a professional before!
I am so pleased with how the treatments went and will recommend Novella and Loraine to anyone and everyone willing to listen! Even as I walked through the door for each session, I was greeted with pleasant and friendly smiles from all staff members and was made to feel right at home.
Loraine, thank you so much for your patience and helpfulness throughout my sessions. Even with the intimate treatments, it was an absolute pleasure. Your honesty and kindness really shone through and the professionalism I felt at all sessions was impeccable! Everything was clean, fresh and well maintained. Thank you!

Had my nails done a few times by Naomi & great experience. Great range of colours, lovely relaxing experience during the treatment & Naomi makes you feel really at ease with her chatty friendly nature. Calgel nails last really well - I change after 3 weeks through preference but they would last much longer!

The staff at Novella are all welcoming & friendly & its a lovely modern, spotless salon. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Faye was amazing her approach was very calming, the facial experience was more than I thought , could feel each product , could feel her targeting my eyes on my problem areas , the rollers you could feel working the muscles and the electro pulses were very faint, I almost slept, never had a treatment that was so relaxing around the eye area, she New the product very well and is a great advert for CACI saw slight improvement tomm may be different however I will try again

Response from Novella Beauty Clinic

Hi Kirsty

Im really sorry you didn't enjoy your treatment today at Novella, it's not the standard we strive for. I'd love it if you would give us another chance and come in for a complementary treatment. I'd really appreciate the chance to show you we are a really friendly, chatty, fun salon to be in as per our previous reviews. You can contact me directly on [email protected]

Warm regards
Loraine
