Our story so far..

"An insight into the lil' lives of us"

We’re an independent Hair and beauty salon Based in Epsom

(we’d say more Ewell to be honest, but we’ll go by our postcode for arguments sake) and opened our doors in July 2015.

We’re a small team of balayage and beauty specialists here to cater to all your pamper needs from the latest colour trends to those instagrammable lashes.

​

 Whilst the salon is our daily workplace and a place we feel comfortable, we appreciate for you "Our future sassy client" you won’t get a feel for it until you make the decision to pay us a visit. We hope our social media presence reflects our vibe, but if you need a bit more convincing let us leave you with our

Mission statement:

​

“Enter our happy place knowing it isn’t just about the hair style or fresh manicure you leave with. That’s not all we’re about. We’re just us much about the experience and delivering good vibes as we go. Feel comfortable in our environment girl, cause we’re all ears and will respect who you are and whoever it is you want to be ✌🏼”

Hair Director

• I worked for Headmasters for 7 years, 3 and a half of which I was an educator at their academy ( where I met some of my fave humans )

• ​

• I’m too bloody empathetic! Whilst it’s known that hairdressers double up as your therapists, I carry all your issues around with me for a while- so if I’m looking a bit weighed down, maybe hold fire on a few!

.

• I opened Nouvelles when I was 22 with my sister-in-law Kelly. For me it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done

​

• Nouvelles is 100% my happy place, but I love getting away from it and travelling too

​

• Hair is all I’ve ever wanted to do,
  as cliche as it may be. It really is the best feeling making you all feel amazing inside and out
