Services
Hair Extensions
Vital Salon offers award-winning Beauty Works extensions tailored for natural movement and longevity. Certified stylists use micro ring and tape-in methods to ensure seamless integration with your hair's texture. Each application prioritises hair health while delivering volume, length, or style transformations. Extensions come in 14-28 lengths with customisable shades for a flawless finish.
Wedding Hair
Our Vidal Sassoon-trained consultant provides bespoke wedding hair services across Somerset and Devon. Packages include venue attendance within 25 miles, pre-wedding trials, and styling for up to four people. The Premier+ package costs 410, with additional heads at 57.75. Mandatory trials ensure perfect alignment with gown and bridal party aesthetics.
Balayage
This freehand colouring technique creates sun-kissed, multi-dimensional effects tailored to your features. Stylists use Joico products to enhance hair condition while achieving soft roots and lightened ends. Complimentary consultations determine optimal tones, from natural highlights to bold fashion shades, ensuring results that grow out beautifully.
Colour Services
The mirror-free Colour Bar focuses on how colour feels rather than its mid-process appearance. Expert colourists blend thousands of tones for custom results, including the Cali Hair technique for beachy vibes. All services use Joico's pH-balanced formulas to maintain hair strength, with a fade guarantee for prolonged vibrancy.
Community Initiatives
Vital Salon partners with Green Salon Collective for full-circle recycling of foils, colour tubes, and hair waste. A 1.20 green levy per appointment funds environmental initiatives, while the Give Back to Taunton programme donates 1 per visit to support local homelessness services through Open Door charity.
