Fix Hair & Beauty Studio is a small, locally owned hair salon on Linwood Avenue in Christchurch, sitting directly across from Eastgate Mall. The name is a promise as much as a label — 'When we say FIX, we mean it' — and the team backs it up with precision styling, genuine care and a consultation-first approach to every service.
The studio describes itself as having a warm, relaxed, home-like atmosphere: a place where you can unwind with Netflix while being pampered, and where the team takes time to understand your style, needs and preferences. Using quality products, modern techniques and expert advice, they focus on results you'll love while always prioritising the health of your hair.
Despite its size, Fix has real credentials — its hairdressers and barbers are award-winning, including 1st Place in the Traditional Barber category at the 2025 Barber Crusade Awards. Services span barbering, women's cuts and restyles, kids' haircuts, colour work from global colour to fashion shades, foiling packages, smoothing and protein treatments, and permanent straightening. For the team, the most rewarding part of the day is seeing clients leave feeling confident, refreshed and happy — often with new friendships formed.
Fix Hair & Beauty Studio is a small, locally owned salon on Linwood Avenue in Christchurch, sitting directly across from Eastgate Mall. Its tagline, 'Precision styling, genuine care,' sums the place up neatly: this is a salon that treats every head of hair as something to be understood, not just processed. The team's promise is simple — 'When we say FIX, we mean it.'
That promise shows up first in how appointments begin. Every service starts with a thorough consultation, where the team takes time to understand your hair type, condition and the outcome you're after. Rather than rushing into a service, they offer honest, professional advice on what's actually possible without causing damage, then use modern techniques to get you to your hair goal while protecting its health. You leave with the result — and the reassurance that every cut, treatment and step was done with expert care.
For a small neighbourhood studio, Fix has an impressive shelf: its hairdressers and barbers are award-winning, including 1st Place in the Traditional Barber category at the 2025 Barber Crusade Awards. Barbering is a genuine strength here — the men's menu covers standard cuts, skin fades and zeros, head shaves, buzz cuts, senior trims and combined haircut-and-beard appointments, alongside precision cuts with a wash and shampoo.
The colour work is just as serious. Fix offers global and full colour, creative colours, colour correction and root touch-ups, plus foiling packages ranging from full-head and half-head foils with toner to cap highlights and retouches. Bond-building Wellaplex and Olaplex add-ons are available to keep coloured hair in good condition.
Treatments are a speciality in their own right. Hair Botox deeply conditions dry or damaged hair, restoring moisture, smoothness and shine while reducing frizz and split ends. The Brazilian Keratin Blowout smooths and adds gloss with humidity protection, the Cysteine Protein Treatment strengthens hair while keeping a natural look, and Rebonding or Permanent Straightening restructures curly or wavy hair for lasting sleekness. Fashion colour — balayage in all its forms, ombré, peek-a-boo, ash grey and blonde, milk tea ash, platinum, pastels, air touch and tri-colour — comes with toner and a straight or curl finish.
Fix describes itself as having a warm, relaxed, home-like atmosphere — a place where you can unwind with Netflix while being pampered. It's the kind of salon where the team takes time to understand your style and preferences, and where clients often leave with new friendships as well as fresh hair. The goal, they say, is for every client to feel welcome, relaxed and confident in their look, receiving honest guidance and what's genuinely best for their hair rather than just a service.
Women's services include basic trims, full restyles and fringe trims, with dry cut and style as standard and the option to add a wash, blow-dry and style. Kids under ten get their own dedicated cuts, and senior pricing is available for both men and women.
The salon is open 10am to 6pm on Mondays and from Thursday through Sunday, with closures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays — worth noting when you plan a weekend appointment, as Saturday and Sunday help cover the midweek gap. Bookings can be made through the Book Appointment button on the website, or by calling or texting the salon.
One thing to know before you book: the prices on the services menu are starting estimates. Final pricing depends on your hair's length, thickness, condition and what's needed to achieve the look you want, and your stylist will walk through the details with you before starting. That consultation-first honesty runs through everything Fix does, from colour correction to a simple trim.
If you're stuck for a gift, the studio offers vouchers that let someone special enjoy a personalised salon experience with expert styling and premium products. And if you're elsewhere in Canterbury or Christchurch, the salon lists the wider region as its service area, so it's worth getting in touch even if you're not just around the corner from Linwood Ave.
