About
Beach Hair is the village's hair salon — and for locals who'd rather not make the drive into the city for a cut or a colour, it's the answer. Run by Louise Fraser, a fully qualified stylist working out of a salon space at 66 Rayner Road, Beach Hair offers a properly professional service in a relaxed Piha setting.
Louise's approach is built around real care. Each appointment is personalised, with time taken to understand what each client actually wants rather than running through a one-size-fits-all routine. Quality professional products are used across every service. The conversation that comes with the chair is part of the experience, and the salon's pace matches the village's — slower, friendlier, less rushed than a city operation.
The services cover what most clients need: cuts, full head foils with toner included, full head colour, retouches, styling, and the kind of natural beach-inspired looks that suit a west coast lifestyle. Pricing is honest and well below city rates — a haircut for $60, a full head of foils for $200, a full head colour from $80, and retouches from $60. The value proposition is real: professional results at prices that don't penalise you for living on the coast.
Clients range from busy parents who don't have time for a city trip, to locals who've found their stylist and stayed, to visitors enjoying a Piha weekend who decide on a fresh cut while they're here. The salon is open three days a week — Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays — and runs by appointment only. Worth booking ahead, especially around weekends and school holidays.
Beach Hair isn't trying to be a city salon. It's trying to be the right salon for Piha. Quietly excellent at what it does, friendly with everyone who comes through the door, and proof that you don't have to leave the village for the things that make daily life work.
Good vibes, great hair.
