“Nova Arts Salon brings together some of the kindest and most talented people in industry. The talent is overflowing and the joy and community within the salon is contagious!”
“If you are considering Nova you must book with Rachel Lee. She is an absolute gem of a human - so kind and welcoming. Plus, she’s a thoughtful and meticulous stylist. I had tears in my eyes at the end of my appointment because I’ve never gotten a haircut that I’ve loved so much! I am an LA transplant who was hoping to find someone I could trust and I’ve ended up finding the best stylist I’ve ever had. 1000000/10 recommend Rachel!!”
“I’ve spent years in London getting my hair done at some of the city’s most creative salons, so I walked into Nova with high expectations and Juli delivered above and beyond. She has an incredible eye and an intuitive sense of style. Merci!”
“Absolutely love my experiences at Nova. The salon itself is such a vibe. The staff and stylists are all so welcoming. I’m always kindly taken care of. They love what they do and they’re so good at it. Shoutout to my stylist Beverly! xoxo”
“I’ve been coming to Nova Arts for years. I see Kelley for all my hair coloring needs. Kelley is my mvp and always keeps my hair on check. Never a dull moment during a coloring session with Kelley. Love her!
Rachel and Amanda are amazing for haircuts highly recommend both”
“The salon is beautiful. The staff was super friendly and sweet. And I am absolutely in love with my hair color and cut. Excuse my language, but Sarah Kim is a f*cking boss. She spends the time with you to figure out what color you want. From consultation to bleaching to cut, Sarah knows what she is doing, and she does it very well. If you’ve been on the fence about going blonde, just do it and go to Sarah.”
“Everyone who works here is so kind, talented, and absolutely lovely. Not to mention it’s the most beautiful salon I’ve been to in LA. I’ve been seeing Sal for 5+ years and have never even thought about going anywhere else.”
