Forever Young Hairdressing is a Wellington hair salon in Shop 13 at Kilbirnie Plaza on Bay Road, built around a simple philosophy: it's all about you. Whether you need a fresh haircut, a bold new colour or a stylish refresh, the salon's skilled stylists set out to create a look that suits you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
The salon specialises in cutting and styling, creative colouring, colour correction, keratin blowouts, and permanent creative waves and curls — covering everything from an everyday trim to a full colour rework or lasting texture.
Forever Young proudly serves Kilbirnie and the surrounding suburbs, including Miramar, Hataitai, Rongotai, Lyall Bay, Melrose, Berhampore and Newtown. Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments can be booked online or by phone on 04 387 7144. Hours run Monday to Saturday, with a late night on Wednesdays and fortnightly Saturday opening.
Forever Young Hairdressing sits in Shop 13 at Kilbirnie Plaza on Bay Road, and it has built its identity around a simple refrain: "It's all about you." Whether you need a fresh haircut, a bold new colour or a stylish refresh, the salon's skilled stylists start with you — your hair, your routine and the look you actually want — rather than a one-size-fits-all formula. Walk-ins are welcome alongside booked appointments, which makes it an easy salon to fit around real life.
Forever Young specialises in five things: cutting and styling, creative colouring, colour correction, keratin blowouts, and permanent creative waves and curls. Between them, those services cover most of the reasons people visit a salon in the first place.
Cutting and styling is the everyday backbone — fresh haircuts and styled finishes shaped to suit the individual. Creative colouring is where the salon's artistic side shows, taking clients from a subtle refresh to a genuinely bold new shade. For colour that needs professional rework, colour correction offers an expert fix. And for texture, the salon offers keratin blowouts for a sleek, smooth finish along with permanent creative waves and curls for those after lasting movement.
The salon describes its own work as "fabulous hair in Kilbirnie", and its location makes it a natural choice well beyond its own block: the team proudly serves Kilbirnie plus nearby Miramar, Hataitai, Rongotai, Lyall Bay, Melrose, Berhampore and Newtown.
The phrase "It's all about you" appears again and again across the salon's website, and that client-first attitude shapes the visit: the look is built around the person in the chair. The salon's creative streak is easy to follow too — it shares its work on Facebook and Instagram, so you can get a feel for the team's colour and cutting style before you book.
Hours vary across the week, so it pays to plan. Monday is a short day, running 10:00am to 2:00pm. Tuesday and Thursday run 10:00am to 5:00pm, Friday runs 9:00am to 4:00pm, and Wednesday is the salon's late night, open until 8:00pm — the one evening option, and handy if you work through the day. Saturdays run 9:00am to 3:00pm, but fortnightly only, so check ahead before planning a weekend visit; the salon is closed on Sundays.
Booking is straightforward: the website's Book In page links to the salon's online booking system, or you can call 04 387 7144. If you're already passing Kilbirnie Plaza, walk-ins are welcome.
Forever Young also advertises rent-a-chair and commission-base opportunities, which says something about how the salon operates: it's a working home for stylists, not just a counter for appointments. A team page on the site introduces the people behind the chairs, and the salon stays active on social media between visits.
For anyone in Wellington's eastern suburbs after cuts, creative colour, corrections or lasting texture — with a walk-in-friendly, client-first approach — Forever Young Hairdressing is an easy, local answer.
