Vivo Taupō is the Taupo Central branch of Vivo Hair Salons, located at Shop 1/31 Horomātangi Street. The salon is staffed by professional, highly trained hairdressers offering expert colour, precision cuts and beautiful styling, with the brand-wide promise of 'hair you love, guaranteed'.
Colour is a real strength here, with balayage, foils and highlights, full colour, Shinefinity Colour Gloss and dedicated specialist services like Blonde Ambition and Creative Colour. For those wanting sleek, smooth hair, the salon offers Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatments, Chemical Straightening, Nanoplasty and the Wella SmoothFiller™ Treatment, along with hair extensions for added length and volume. Special occasions are covered too — from balls to weddings, the team provides stunning event hair styling.
Stylists are qualified and continuously trained through Vivo's national development program, and the salon uses Wella Professionals, the world's no.1 salon professional hair care brand. A No-Surprise Guarantee means any extra costs are communicated upfront, and new or returning clients can take advantage of specially priced cut and colour packages. The salon also retails professional haircare and offers gift vouchers.
Vivo Taupō sits at Shop 1/31 Horomātangi Street in the heart of Taupō Central, bringing the Vivo Hair Salon standard to the lakeside town. The salon's team of professional, highly trained hairdressers offers expert colour, precision cuts and beautiful styling — all backed by the company-wide commitment of 'hair you love, guaranteed'. The philosophy is simple: every client should walk out feeling like it's a good hair day.
Colour is a standout at Vivo Taupō. The menu runs from classic foils and highlights and all-over colour through to balayage for soft, lived-in dimension, and the Shinefinity Colour Gloss for a glossy, tone-refreshing finish. Clients chasing something more dramatic can book into specialist services like Blonde Ambition, a dedicated blonding service, or Creative Colour for bolder transformations.
For those after sleek, smooth hair, the salon offers Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatments and Chemical Straightening, alongside Nanoplasty and the Wella SmoothFiller™ Treatment. Hair extensions are available for clients wanting extra length or volume, and there are dedicated packages for men.
Special occasions are another strength. From school balls to weddings, the team provides event hair styling designed to hold up through photos, dancing and everything in between.
Vivo salons operate with qualified stylists who are continuously trained through a national development program, so techniques stay current across the network. Each salon is also tailored to its local market, meaning the Taupō team shapes its service around the needs of local clients rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Products matter here too. The salon uses Wella Professionals — the world's no.1 salon professional hair care brand, known for its quality and innovation — both in salon and on the retail shelf, where clients can take home shampoos, styling products, treatments and tools to maintain their look between visits.
Pricing anxiety is addressed head-on with the Vivo No-Surprise Guarantee: you'll be informed of any extra costs upfront before they happen, so the price at the end of your appointment isn't a surprise.
The approach shows in client feedback. One first-time visitor, Koda, booked in after seeing the salon's experience with thick, curly hair and left with a stylish wolf cut, writing: 'I've gone from dry, damaged mop to a stylish wolf cut. Couldn't be happier! I feel so much lighter now.'
If you're booking a hair appointment at Vivo Taupō for the first time — or it's been six to twelve months since your last visit — the salon offers specially priced New Client Packages. These bundles are designed to make trying the salon easy, combining cuts and colour at strong value. Gift vouchers are also available if you're treating someone else.
Vivo Taupō is open Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, with a late night on Thursday until 8pm for those who can't make it during the working day. Saturday trading is 9am to 2pm, and the salon is closed Sunday and Monday.
Appointments can be booked online through the Vivo booking system, or by phone on 07 377 2033. The salon can also be reached by email at [email protected]. Whether you're after a routine trim, a full colour transformation, a keratin smoothing treatment or occasion styling, booking ahead is the best way to lock in the stylist time you want.
