The 2019 Best in Beauty Awards received more than 400,000 votes, more than all previous years! This is the third year in a row that Vivo has achieved this prestigious accolade – not bad for a company which entered the hairdressing industry only nine years ago. What’s the secret of Vivo’s success, you might ask? Actually, there’s no secret at all. The simple formula is this: we offer our clients the best in top tier hairdressing services with incredibly competitive prices. This means more than 90,000 people across New Zealand return to their favourite Vivo Salon each year at one of our 85 privately owned locations. However, there is one big difference and that is, Vivo is absolutely confident standing behind our stylist’s work – we offer a Hair You’ll Love or Your Money Back Guarantee. We have a most comprehensive internal training programme for hairstylists in New Zealand, facilitating more than 300 educational training classes per year for our talented teams. You can be confident that when you visit a Vivo stylist, you’ll receive the latest in hair training and education.
