Fusion Hair, on Thames Street in Oamaru, is built around a simple premise: a team of talented hair stylists working together to create beautiful hair. The salon invites clients to come in, relax in its gorgeous space and be pampered — whether that means a quick men's cut, a standalone blowave, or a longer appointment for foils and a restorative treatment.
For a feel of the salon before you book, Fusion Hair shares photos of the salon and the team's work on Instagram and Facebook, alongside the gallery on its own website — useful when you're weighing up a change or want a look at the space first.
Cutting and styling forms the backbone of the menu. Women's cuts come finished with a blowave, men have their own dedicated cut, and younger family members are catered for too, with separate services for children, high school girls and high school boys. Blowaves are available on their own for anyone after a polished finish, and hair ups are on the menu for occasions.
Colour is a clear focus of the salon's work. The team uses Lakme Colour, and the menu covers global colour for short hair as well as medium-to-long lengths, mens colour, and foiling across short, medium and long hair. Toners are on hand to refine the result, and colour removal is offered, priced on application, for clients needing a correction.
One house rule shapes every colour booking: all colour services must be finished with a cut and style or a blow dry. Anyone booking colour should plan for the full finish rather than just the colour process.
Hair health has its own section of the menu. Olaplex treatments and the K 2.0 Restorative Treatment are both offered in-salon, and the Keratin Smoothing Service is structured by hair length, with separate options for short, medium and long hair — so the service scales to the hair rather than a one-size approach.
Fusion Hair doubles as a stockist for a line-up of professional haircare brands: Lakme, Evo, Moroccan Oil, Olaplex, Colour WOW, Pureology and Anti. Because the same brands are used in the salon, clients can ask their stylist which products will best maintain their colour or treatment at home, then pick them up on the way out.
You'll find Fusion Hair at 43 Thames Street, Oamaru. Appointments can be made online through the salon's booking system or by phone on 03 434 8556. Opening hours run from 9am, Monday to Friday, with late nights on Wednesday and Thursday, when the salon stays open until 8pm. Saturday and Sunday are closed, so weekend plans need to be made around that.
The salon runs a straightforward reminder system. Clients receive a txt or email 48 hours before their appointment, and if no confirmation has come through, the team will ring to confirm. Cancellations require a minimum of 24 hours' notice — late cancellations may incur 50% of the appointment cost, and no-shows are asked for a 50% deposit to secure future bookings.
Menu prices are quoted as 'from', with any additional colour charged accordingly. In practice that means the final cost of an appointment depends on the hair itself — its length, and how much colour it needs — so it pays to talk through what you want when booking.
Between the cutting menu, the Lakme colour work, the foiling, the treatments and the keratin smoothing service, Fusion Hair covers most of what a client could need from a local salon, all from its spot on Thames Street. Book online or call the salon, watch for the 48-hour reminder, and arrive ready to settle into the chair and be looked after.
