Vivid Hair is a local, family-run hair salon in Auckland's Eastern Bays, welcoming clients from Orakei, Mission Bay, Kohimarama, St Heliers, Glendowie and further afield. Proudly 100% Kiwi owned for 20 years, the salon has built its reputation on a simple promise: hair done your way. The team listens to what you want, offers recommendations and options suited to your hair, and aims to send you out the door with a style that looks as good at home as it does in the salon chair.
The salon offers a relaxed, friendly experience for women and men of all ages. Services cover the full spectrum of everyday and occasion hair: style consults and advice, haircuts and restyling for both women and men, clipper cuts, and a wide range of colour work including foils, highlights, balayage, ombre and full colour. Keratin straightening is available for those wanting smoother, easier-to-manage hair.
Vivid Hair is a Joico salon, using Joico products — widely regarded as an industry standard — both for in-salon services and for recommended home care, so your results last well beyond your appointment. The team of professional stylists spans a range of ages and experience, ready to help with anything from a routine trim to a complete restyle.
You'll find Vivid Hair at 33 Melanesia Road, Kohimarama, with evening appointments available on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a compact Saturday morning schedule. Appointments can be made by phone, email or through the online booking page.
Tucked along Melanesia Road in Kohimarama, Vivid Hair has been part of Auckland's Eastern Bays community for two decades. Proudly 100% Kiwi owned for 20 years, the salon welcomes clients from Orakei, Mission Bay, Kohimarama, St Heliers, Glendowie and further afield — a loyal catchment that keeps coming back for the salon's straightforward philosophy: hair done your way.
The team at Vivid Hair starts every appointment the same way — by listening. Stylists take the time to hear what you want, then offer recommendations and options that will genuinely work with your hair. The goal isn't just a style that looks great when you leave the salon; it's a look you can recreate with ease at home, days or weeks later.
That client-first approach shapes the whole experience. Vivid Hair describes itself as a relaxed, friendly salon for women and men of all ages — no pretence, no pressure, just professional stylists who range in age and experience and are ready to help you achieve your perfect look, whether it's for the everyday or a special occasion.
Vivid Hair covers the full range of salon services. Cut-wise, that includes haircuts and restyling for both women and men, along with clipper cuts for those who prefer a short, sharp style. Every cut is backed by a style consult, with advice on what will suit your hair type and lifestyle.
Colour is where the menu gets especially broad: full colour, foils, highlights, balayage and ombre are all on offer, whether you're after a subtle refresh or a bigger transformation. For clients battling frizz or wanting smoother, more manageable hair, keratin straightening rounds out the services list.
Vivid Hair is a Joico salon, and that matters for what ends up in your hair. The team describes Joico products as the industry standard and uses them to create the best results — both for services in the salon and for the products they recommend you take home. It's part of the same philosophy that drives everything else they do: results that last well beyond the appointment.
Visiting Vivid Hair feels like visiting a neighbourhood fixture, because that's exactly what it is. Twenty years of ownership in the same hands gives the salon a consistency that's rare, and the team's mix of ages and experience means there's a stylist to match just about every client, from kids through to long-standing regulars.
The salon keeps practical hours too. Tuesday and Thursday run late until 8:00pm for those fitting hair appointments around work, Wednesday and Friday cover the daytime, and Saturdays run a focused morning session until 2:00pm. Mondays and Sundays are closed.
Appointments can be made by phone on (09) 528-7031 or by email at [email protected], with online booking also available through the salon's website. The team will get back to you as soon as possible.
Whether you're after a reliable regular trim, a complete restyle, or colour work from foils to balayage, Vivid Hair's invitation is a simple one: want to upgrade your style? Get in touch and give them a try — you'll be so glad you did.
