Vivo George Street is a hair salon in the heart of Dunedin Central, at 62 George Street. Part of the nationwide Vivo Hair Salons & Skin Clinics group, the George Street team offers the full range of cut and colour services — balayage, foils and highlights, all-over colour, Shinefinity Colour Gloss and men's packages — alongside specialist colour work like Blonde Ambition and Creative Colour.
For clients after sleek, smooth hair, the salon offers Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatments, Nanoplasty, Chemical Straightening and the Wella SmoothFiller™ treatment, plus hair extensions for added length and volume. Event hair styling covers everything from school balls to weddings, and the Vivo range also includes beauty services such as brow shaping, lash lifts, tinting and waxing.
Vivo stylists are qualified and continuously trained through the company's national development programme, and the salon works with Wella Professionals, the world's number one salon professional haircare brand. The Vivo Promise — hair you'll love, guaranteed — is backed by a No-Surprise Guarantee, with any extra costs flagged upfront before work begins.
The salon runs late on Tuesdays and Thursdays and opens Saturday mornings, making it easy to fit an appointment around work or study. Appointments can be booked online at any time or by calling the salon directly.
Perched on George Street in the heart of Dunedin Central, Vivo George Street has made its name as the city's go-to salon for beautiful, healthy hair. It's part of the nationwide Vivo Hair Salons & Skin Clinics family, but it doesn't feel like a formula: every Vivo salon is tailored to its local market, and the George Street team brings that local focus to each consultation, cut and colour. The philosophy is simple — as the salon puts it, "we're here to make every day a good hair day."
Vivo George Street offers the full run of cut and colour services, from classic foils and highlights through to balayage, all-over colour and Wella's Shinefinity Colour Gloss for a soft, shiny finish. Men's packages cover cuts and colour for guys, while Everyday Hair Packages bundle together the regular maintenance most clients need to keep their look fresh.
New to Vivo, or coming back after a break? The salon runs dedicated New Client Packages — specially priced bundles for anyone booking for the first time or whose last visit was 6-12 months ago. Gift vouchers are available too, if you'd rather let someone choose their own good hair day.
Colour is where the team shows its range. Blonde Ambition is Vivo's dedicated service for blondes, while Creative Colour opens the door to fashion shades and bolder transformations. For clients who want shine without a dramatic change, Shinefinity Colour Gloss adds gloss and soft tone — and the balayage menu covers hand-painted, low-maintenance lightening for that sun-kissed, grown-out look.
Beyond colour, Vivo specialises in smoothing and straightening. Kerasilk Keratin Treatments and Chemical Straightening are the go-tos for sleek, smooth hair, and Nanoplasty offers a modern smoothing alternative. The Wella SmoothFiller™ treatment is also on the menu for hair that needs strength and polish, and hair extensions add length and volume on request.
Special occasions are covered as well — from school balls to weddings, the team is trusted for stunning event hair styling, so you can walk into the big day knowing your hair is sorted.
Part of what keeps clients coming back is how the salon works. Vivo stylists are qualified and continuously trained through the company's national development programme, and the salon uses Wella Professionals — the world's number one salon professional haircare brand, known for its quality and innovation.
There's also the Vivo Promise: hair you'll love, guaranteed. Under the No-Surprise Guarantee, you'll be informed of any extra costs upfront, so there are no awkward moments at the counter.
Clients notice the difference. "I felt listened to, well taken care of, had my questions answered, and they did an absolute brilliant job of my hair," one Dunedin client wrote. "The ladies at Vivo Dunedin are lovely, and so professional. I'm looking forward to my next appointment — I won't go anywhere else now!"
Vivo George Street is at 62 George Street, Dunedin 9016. Hours run 9am-8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9am-5pm on Wednesdays and Fridays, and 9am-3pm on Saturdays; the salon is closed on Sundays and Mondays. The two late nights make after-work appointments easy.
Bookings can be made online at bookings.vivo.co.nz or by calling 03 477 7655, and you can reach the team at georgest@vivo.co.nz. To keep your hair looking its best between visits, the Vivo online shop stocks the salon's professional haircare range, so you can take a little of the salon home with you.
