Bedlam Hair Design & Bliss Day Spa operates from 2/148 Rimu Road in Paraparaumu, on the Kapiti Coast. It covers haircuts, colour and hair treatments, with day spa and beauty services available through the Bliss Day Spa side of the business. The salon holds a 4.7 rating on Google.
Finding time for yourself on the Kapiti Coast usually means a choice: the haircut you need or the pampering you want. Bedlam Hair Design & Bliss Day Spa, at 2/148 Rimu Road inside Coastlands Mall in Paraparaumu, exists so you don't have to choose. As the double-barrelled name suggests, this is a hair salon and day spa under one roof, serving clients from Paraparaumu, Raumati, Waikanae and the wider Kapiti Coast.
The team describe their mission in warmly indulgent terms: an atmosphere designed so that you leave feeling 'pampered, rejuvenated and revered.' That philosophy shapes everything here, from the cut and colour work to the way appointments are paced and products chosen.
Bedlam is, by its own description, Kapiti's leading hair salon, and the service menu rests on three pillars: cuts, colour services and hair treatments. Whether you're booking a regular trim, a fresh colour or a restorative treatment, the goal is the same — hair that looks great when you walk out and keeps looking great in the weeks after. The full, up-to-date list of services and prices is maintained through the salon's online booking system, so you can see exactly what's on offer before you commit.
What sets this Paraparaumu salon apart is the Bliss half of the name. 'A complete Day Spa experience,' the team promise — 'we can take care of all your pampering needs in just one visit.' For time-poor clients, that one-visit convenience is the real drawcard: pair your cut or colour with spa pampering and walk out feeling like a different person.
Bedlam is also upfront about what goes into your hair. Its 'Product Promise' commits the salon to using and stocking only luxurious hair care and beauty products that produce amazing results — and to seeking out products that are healthy, sustainable, ethical and desirable. Feeling fabulous matters, the team says, but not at any cost.
The salon operates Tuesday to Friday from 9am, with a late night on Wednesday until 8pm for after-work appointments, plus Saturdays from 9am to 3pm; doors are closed on Mondays. Bookings can be made online or by phone on (04) 902 9555, and booking ahead is wise — the stylists often run on fully booked days. Clients are encouraged to arrive five minutes early, because if one appointment runs late, it ripples through the stylist's entire day.
It also pays to know the cancellation policy before you book. Bedlam asks for 24 hours' notice to cancel or to reduce a service — dropping a cut from a colour booking, for example. Cancel inside 24 hours and a 20% late-cancellation fee applies; a no-show is charged at 50%. In December, the team asks clients to allow extra travel time, as parking around Coastlands is limited and the traffic can get busy — though they're quick to add that the festive season is their favourite time of year, celebrated alongside their clients.
Bedlam is part of a small salon family, with a sister salon at 293 Victoria Avenue in Whanganui carrying the same approach further up the country. The Paraparaumu team keeps clients connected through Facebook and Instagram, and the Kapiti branch shares its home with the Bliss Day Spa — the combination that gives the business its double-barrelled name.
For Kapiti locals, the appeal comes down to trust and convenience: an established team, a clear product promise, and the rare ability to tick off your hair and your pampering in a single trip. Whether you're a Paraparaumu regular or visiting from Raumati or Waikanae, the salon's promise is the one on its own homepage — you'll leave refreshed, more confident and ready for action.
