VANILLA HAIR PARLOUR
We’re on a mission to deliver the ultimate hair experience.
Whether it be nailing the right shade of ruby red, executing the perfect fringe, or getting the best advice on how to look after your hair.
Look no further than Vanilla Hair Parlour - Hairdresser Paraparaumu & Porirua.
When Vanilla was birthed into the world just 9 years ago, by Kelly (Master stylist + Founder), the goal was never to be just another hair salon (that’s just boring). The aim was to show how things could actually be done.
From showing clients it's possible to go blonde THAT DAY (YES, it’s true - miracles can happen) to understanding WHY certain products are a MUST in order to keep your hair in top tip shape. Has been what the team at Vanilla excels at.
Through consistent upskilling and education, Kelly and her team work together to help make your hair visions come to life.
Because YOU are the most important part of the business (and in the words of Maybelline - Because you’re worth it).
And it’s not just *flipping* great hair when you walk out of Vanilla Hair Parlour, you also get great company and a relaxed, down-to-earth environment.
Which has become Vanilla’s winning formula, with now not one, BUT TWO salons. The OG is still in Porirua, but if you are in need of a hairdresser Paraparaumu, you know who to call.
And don’t just take our word for it…
“Vanilla Hair Parlour is the ONLY place I trust with my hair.
The team are so warm and welcoming, and it always feels like catching up with friends. I leave feeling amazing every time! ”
