Vault Hair and Beauty is a hair salon with a difference on Spey Street in central Invercargill. Part of an award-winning group of hairdressers and beauticians, the salon pairs creative flair with decades of hands-on experience, offering everything from a classic cut and blow-dry to high-class colouring, foils, ombre, waxing and eyelash tinting.
What sets the team apart is the way they work: before any scissors come out, a friendly and experienced hair consultant sits down with you to talk through your hair and beauty needs and wishes. Whether you want a fresh new look, a total change or just a new colour-style, the goal is always a cut or style that is personally suited to you and fits your personality — backed by top-of-the-range products and expert advice based on your individual preference.
The salon recognises that a hairstyle is hugely influential on a person's self-image, and commits fully to every client. You can relax in a comfortable, modern atmosphere and leave feeling refreshed. Walk-ins are welcome alongside appointments, online booking is available, and gift vouchers make an easy treat for someone else. Afterpay and Laybuy are accepted.
Beyond everyday hairdressing, Vault's stylists are known around Invercargill for their creative work — photo shoots and competition styling you can browse in their gallery — and they supply and demonstrate ghd styling tools so you can recreate salon-quality finishes at home. Junior cuts, men's cuts, school ball packages and beauty services round out a genuinely full-service offering.
On Spey Street in the heart of Invercargill, Vault Hair and Beauty runs on a simple idea: no one should leave a salon with a style that doesn't feel like them. Part of an award-winning group of hairdressers and beauticians, this city-centre salon has built its reputation on consultation before commitment — a friendly, experienced hair consultant talks through your hair and beauty needs and wishes before a single cut is made.
Whether you're after a fresh new look, a total change, or just a new colour-style, the team's stated aim is the same: to give you the style that fits your personality, using top-of-the-range products and expert advice based on your individual preference.
The team at Vault is upfront about why they consult first. A hairstyle, as they put it, is hugely influential on an individual's self-image — so they endeavour to achieve the best possible hair and body results every time. That philosophy shapes the whole visit: you relax in a comfortable and modern atmosphere, and leave feeling refreshed.
Experience matters here, and the salon is transparent about it. A **Senior Stylist** is someone with five or more years behind the chair, while a **Very Senior Stylist** brings twenty-plus years of experience. You can choose the level of expertise that suits your service and budget, knowing exactly who is working on your hair.
Vault offers the traditional cut and blow-dry, but colouring is where they truly specialise — high-class colouring possibilities ranging from half and full head foils, full colour and tint retouches through to bleach regrowth, toners and ombre work.
It doesn't stop at women's hair. Men can book a standard cut, a clipper cut, or a cut and colour combination, and juniors are well catered for with dedicated price tiers for children aged 0–10 and teens aged 11–16. The salon also offers female and male waxing, eyelash tinting, eyebrow shaping and tinting, and facial waxing — a genuine hair-and-beauty offering under one roof.
The stylists' creative flair extends well beyond everyday appointments. Vault's team does creative work for photo shoots and competitions, and the results are showcased in a gallery on their website — well worth a browse if you're considering something bold.
School ball season gets its own dedicated service at Vault, with packages designed to have students photo-ready. And for keeping the salon look going between visits, the team supplies and demonstrates ghd styling tools — including the ghd platinum® styler, designed for healthier, stronger, shinier hair in a single stroke, and the ghd V gold classic straightener, whose smooth gold plates glide through all hair types and lengths and can create everything from sleek finishes to curls and waves. The stylists love sharing the advice you need to achieve salon-quality styling results at home, so it's worth asking what's in store.
