Rachel is an absolute master of her trade. At my first visit Rachel keyed into what I wanted cut and colour wise. I don't naturally have great hair and the colour when I first went to the salon was pretty neglected, but first visit was all sorted and lasts for ages so value for money. Amazing expertise and service. First time I have ever had people ask me if they can take a photo of my hair as they want the same!!

One of the worst hair coloring experiences ever. Asked for a money piece in red and got a highlighter yellow and was placed in the most uncomfortable chair for 3 hours. I paid $350 & had to return the next day and clear my schedule again. Wasn't offered a refreshment or anything until AFTER I paid toward the end of my appointment and my hair was SO BAD. The hairdresser tried to tell me my hair looked great knowing damn well it was a mess. Dont ever go here. I had it fixed the next day and I was the only person in the entire salon. Probably because its so crap and no one likes going here

Most terrible experience. The hairdresser Katie botched my hair. I had to be sent to a different salon to get ut fixed which is still unsatisfactory. She rushed foils, foils had bled, my hair is patchy, 4 different colors, she did not cut my hair which was paid for.

I had my hair fixed by the lovely Alexa, felt like a completely new person when I left the salon - super super happy with my hair she did such an amazing job, Vivo Merivale have definitely gained a new regular client. I’ve added the before and after photos to show what an amazing job she did 💗
