Services
Blow Dry
Our blow dry service offers tailored styling for short or long hair, using professional tools and techniques to achieve sleek, voluminous, or textured finishes. Clients can opt for a standalone blow dry or combine it with a cut for a complete look. The service ensures long-lasting results while maintaining hair health.
Foils
Foils involve applying permanent colour or bleach to selected hair sections for a natural, low-maintenance finish. This technique allows for creative colour combinations and is ideal for clients seeking dimension without frequent touch-ups. Prices vary based on hair length and complexity.
Olaplex Treatment
Olaplex treatments restore damaged hair by repairing broken disulphide bonds caused by chemical or thermal stress. The service includes a two-step process to strengthen and rejuvenate hair, leaving it shiny and resilient. It can be added to colour services or booked standalone.
Colour Correction
This service addresses unwanted tones or uneven colour through targeted treatments like stripping or toning. Available only after consultation, it ensures precise adjustments to achieve the desired shade while minimising damage. Ideal for clients with prior colour mishaps.
Patch Testing
Mandatory allergy testing is conducted 48 hours before scalp colour treatments to ensure client safety. A small charge applies for this service, which prevents adverse reactions and guarantees a comfortable experience during colouring procedures.

I would most definatly reccomend Viva Hair, this was my first time visiting this salon, and certainly won't be the last,
I had a colour cut and blowdry with Katie, i have very long hair, Katie handled it very well. I am so so pleased with my finished hair, after going to a number of salons and paying out but wasnt really what i wanted, Katie has really done a fabulous job, and its exactly what i wanted. The consultation was very thorough, and everything i wanted was taken in to consideration. I will be returning to the salon. My visit from start to finish was lovely, a lovely atmosphere in the
