Goldfingers Hair & Day Spa has been a fixture on Elizabeth Street in Timaru since 1978, built from the start on a dedication to excellence in every aspect of hairdressing and a commitment to the highest level of customer service. Nearly five decades on, the salon's purpose hasn't changed: exceptional hairdressing, delivered with genuine care.
The team describes its craft as bringing inspiration, innovation and joy to every client experience — and the business has grown almost entirely through loyal clientele spreading the word, something they consider the greatest compliment a salon can receive. Colour is a true speciality here: Goldfingers' colour specialists work with your natural features and skin tones to develop the right tone and colour application for your individual style and the haircut that suits you best. Styling is guided by a philosophy of empathy — understanding each client's wishes to create a look that suits not just you, but your lifestyle too. Alongside custom colour and precision cuts, the salon offers luxurious VIP pampering as a hair and day spa destination.
Behind the chairs is a team that keeps learning: owner and lead stylist Tracey pairs meticulous skill with a warm, approachable style; Chris, the Master Stylist, brings precision, creativity and innovation to every look; and emerging stylists Poppy and Kennedy have a particular love for bright blondes, beautiful long hair and creative colour work. Appointments can be booked online or by phone, with late nights on Wednesdays and Thursdays for anyone who can't make it during the working day.
On a quiet stretch of Elizabeth Street in Timaru, Goldfingers has been part of the neighbourhood since 1978. What began as a dedication to excellence in every aspect of hairdressing has grown into a salon — and day spa — where generations of locals have come to refresh their colour, reshape their cut, and simply take a breath from the day. Nearly five decades on, the standards haven't shifted: exceptional hairdressing and the highest level of customer service.
The Goldfingers name has always stood for more than a good haircut. The team describes its work as bringing inspiration, innovation and joy to every client experience — and the fact that the business has been built almost entirely on loyal clientele spreading the word says a great deal. In their eyes, that word-of-mouth loyalty is the greatest compliment a salon can receive.
Behind the chairs is a group of stylists who are genuinely passionate about their craft. Tracey, the owner and lead stylist, sets the tone: technically precise, warm and approachable, and committed to tailoring every service to your lifestyle — from the first consultation through to meticulous finishes and practical advice on maintaining your hair between cuts. Chris, the salon's Master Stylist, brings precision, creativity and innovation to every style, while emerging stylists Poppy and Kennedy have already made their mark with a particular love for bright blondes, beautiful long hair and creative colour work.
Education is a constant here. The whole team shares a commitment to ongoing training and staying up to date with the newest trends, so clients always have access to the latest services and treatments rather than yesterday's looks.
Colour is a genuine speciality. Goldfingers' colour specialists take pride in working with your natural features and skin tones to develop the right tone and colour application for you — a colour that suits your individual style and the haircut that frames it. Whether you're after a subtle refresh or a full transformation, blondes and creative colour work are firmly in the team's wheelhouse.
The styling philosophy has remained unchanged for decades: empathy. The team puts itself in the client's shoes, interpreting your wishes to create a look that not only suits you, but your lifestyle too. The goal is a style that's yours — something you love, something you can manage at home, something worth coming back for.
Goldfingers is your escape from the hustle and bustle of the day. Alongside custom colour and precision cuts, the salon offers luxurious VIP pampering as a hair and day spa destination. Sit back, relax, and let the team take care of you — client reviews regularly mention leaving feeling confident, refreshed and effortlessly stylish, with stylists who are easy to talk to and who cater to every need.
