Vivo Takapuna is a professional hair salon and skin clinic on Anzac Street, just steps from Takapuna Beach. The team of highly trained, qualified hairdressers offers expert colour, precision cuts and beautiful styling, with the salon's simple philosophy that every visit should deliver 'a good hair day'. Alongside hairdressing, the location operates as a Vivo skin clinic, offering Skin30 peel treatments, facial treatments, micro-needling and beauty services such as brow and lash work.
Colour is a clear strength, with balayage, foils and highlights, all-over colour, Shinefinity Colour Gloss and specialist services like Blonde Ambition and Creative Colour on the menu. For those seeking sleek, smooth hair, the salon offers Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatments, Nanoplasty and Chemical Straightening, while the Japanese Head Spa provides a therapeutic scalp ritual. Event hair styling for balls and weddings rounds out the hair services.
The salon is part of the wider Vivo family, with each branch tailored to its local market. Stylists are continuously trained through Vivo's national development programme and work with Wella Professionals, the world's no.1 salon professional hair care brand. The VIVO Promise guarantees hair you'll love, backed by a No-Surprise Guarantee so any extra costs are flagged upfront. The salon stays open late Tuesday to Thursday, and new clients can access specially priced cut and colour packages.
A minute's walk from the sand at Takapuna Beach, on Anzac Street, Vivo Takapuna is home to professional, highly trained hairdressers offering expert colour, cuts and beautiful styling. Part of the wider Vivo family of New Zealand salons and skin clinics, this branch pairs a full-service hair salon with a dedicated skin treatment menu, so one visit can cover a fresh balayage and a facial in the same trip.
The team's philosophy is refreshingly simple: they're here to make every day a good hair day. That promise is backed by the VIVO Promise — hair you'll love, guaranteed — and a No-Surprise Guarantee, which means any extra costs are always flagged upfront before work begins.
Colour work is where Vivo Takapuna really shines. The menu spans classic foils and highlights, freehand balayage, all-over colour and Shinefinity Colour Gloss, a zero-damage gloss service that adds shine and refines tone. Blondes have a dedicated destination in Blonde Ambition, while Creative Colour covers bolder fashion shades and corrective work. Men are looked after too, with dedicated Men's Packages covering cut and colour.
New to the salon, trying a new stylist, or returning after six to twelve months? Vivo offers New Client Packages — value-priced cut and colour bundles designed as an easy way in. Everyday Hair Packages keep regular maintenance straightforward for loyal regulars.
For anyone chasing sleek, smooth hair, the specialist menu runs deep. Goldwell's Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatments sit alongside Nanoplasty and Chemical Straightening for lasting smoothness, plus the Wella SmoothFiller™ Treatment for in-salon smoothing. Hair Extensions add length and thickness with matched, professional application.
The salon's Japanese Head Spa has become a headline service — a therapeutic scalp and hair ritual that turns an appointment into genuine downtime. And when there's an occasion to look sharp, Vivo handles event hair styling for everything from school balls to weddings.
Vivo Takapuna operates as a skin clinic as well. The Skin30 programme offers personalised, express peel treatments, building on Vivo's Skin30 concept of tailored skin journeys with their skin experts. SkinPlus and SkinPro facial treatments cater to everyday maintenance through to advanced clinical work, and Micro-Needling addresses texture and skin renewal. Concerns covered range from anti-aging and fine lines to pigmentation, redness and rosacea, dry or sensitive skin, and acne or breakouts.
A beauty menu rounds things out with brow and lash tints, brow shaping, lash lifts and waxing services — convenient add-ons to a hair appointment or a quick visit in their own right.
In the chair, stylists work with Wella Professionals, which Vivo describes as the world's number one salon professional hair care brand. Beyond the salon, the Vivo online shop stocks brands including Olaplex, Goldwell, GHD and Aspect, with free NZ-wide shipping on orders over $80 — handy for keeping your colour-safe shampoo and heat protection topped up between visits. Gift vouchers are available for anyone stuck for a present.
Vivo Takapuna sits at 12 Anzac Street, Takapuna Beach, Auckland. Hours run Monday and Friday 9am to 5pm, with late nights until 8pm Tuesday through Thursday — a real advantage for after-work appointments. Saturday trading is 9am to 4pm, and the salon is closed Sundays.
Booking is easy online through Vivo's booking system, or call the salon on 09 488 7579. Client feedback points to the atmosphere as much as the results — one reviewer described clicking instantly with their stylist and praising the 'viby atmosphere' of the salon, quickly declaring it their new place to do their hair.
Each Vivo salon is tailored to its local market, so while the brand's standards and training are consistent nationwide, the Takapuna team shapes its service around the North Shore community it serves. Whether you're after a subtle gloss, a full blonde transformation, a smoothing treatment to tame the frizz or a clinical facial alongside your cut, this Anzac Street salon aims to send you out the door with hair you love — guaranteed.
