Vines Vintage NZ | Barber Grooming | Zilion NZ
Vines Vintage in New Zealand
Vines Vintage is a barbershop grooming brand with a foot in two eras. On one side are the classic hair tonics you would have found on a barber's back bar decades ago: American Bay Rum, Eau de Quinine, Eau de Portugal, Eclipsol and Coconut Oil Brilliantine. On the other is a modern styling line of matt and fibre pomades, Maxi Gum, texturising cream, styling powder and sea salt spray.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Vines Vintage, with the full range of stylers, tonics, shave and beard care listed, plus twin packs and bundles. Prices are friendly, most products sit under $30, and it is a range barbers and home groomers both reach for when they want a proper barbershop finish without paying salon prices.
About Vines Vintage
The appeal of Vines Vintage is that it covers the whole barber chair. You can style with it, freshen the scalp with it, shave with it and look after a beard with it, and every product carries the same traditional barbershop character. The packaging is no-nonsense and the formulas are designed for professional use as well as daily grooming at home.
The hair tonics are the brand's heritage line. They are splashed or massaged into the scalp to refresh it, condition the hair and leave a light, classic fragrance, and some, like Eclipsol with Oil and Coconut Oil Brilliantine, add a little shine and control as well. American Bay Rum is the best known, and it comes in both a 200ml bottle and a 1000ml barber size.
The styling line is built for modern cuts. It runs from matte, textured finishes to firmer, more defined hold, so whether the cut is a short crop, a textured quiff or a messy fringe, there is a product that suits it.
The Vines Vintage Range
Vines Vintage Hair Styling. Matt Pomade gives strong hold with a natural, non-shiny finish. Fiber Pomade has a firm yet flexible hold for texture and definition. Maxi Gum is a strong-hold styling gum for sculpted, defined shapes, available in 125ml and 300ml. Texturising Cream gives separation and a matte finish with flexible hold for short to medium hair, Styling Powder adds instant lift to fine or limp hair, and Sea Salt Spray creates a tousled, beachy texture with light hold.
Vines Vintage Scalp Care. This is where the classic tonics live. American Bay Rum Hair & Scalp Tonic refreshes the scalp and leaves the traditional bay rum scent, Eclipsol Plain gives a cooling feel on the scalp, and Coconut Oil Brilliantine is a light, shine-giving finisher with coconut oil. Eclipsol with Oil is the same style of tonic with added oil for extra conditioning.
Vines Vintage Fragrance holds the two scented tonics: Eau de Quinine, a classic quinine-based tonic, and Eau de Portugal, which brings fresh citrus notes. Both refresh the scalp and condition the hair as well as leaving a light fragrance.
Vines Vintage Shaving. Pre Shave Oil softens stubble and helps the razor glide, Shave Cream builds a rich, cushioning lather, and After Shave Balm with shea butter and avocado oil calms razor burn and dryness. The Shave Trio Bundle puts all three together.
Vines Vintage Beard Care. Beard Oil softens and conditions facial hair and the skin beneath, Beard Balm adds light hold for shaping, and Face & Beard Balm moisturises skin and beard in one step. The Beard Oil & Beard Balm Duo Bundle covers both.
Hair and body. 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash 500ml handles hair, scalp and body in one bottle, which makes it a gym bag favourite. Almost every product is also sold as a twin pack.
