Halo Hair Studio

About Halo Hair Studio

Halo Hair Studio is a private, one-on-one hair salon on Brougham Street in Christchurch, run by stylist Emma. With more than 10 years of experience behind the chair, Emma has built the studio around her specialties: bright blondes, lived-in looks, balayage, vivid fashion colours, and Qiqi Vega smoothing treatments.

The one-on-one format is at the heart of the Halo experience. There's no rushing between clients — each appointment is dedicated to one person, in a warm, welcoming space where Emma aims for every client to feel comfortable and cared for. Healthy hair is a genuine passion here, and colour work is approached with the condition of your hair front of mind, creating colours and styles that feel like you.

The service menu covers everything from trims and blow-dries to a full colour toolkit: root and T-section retouches, global colour across hair lengths, foils from face-framing money pieces to full heads, balayage, toner, and global bleach (which requires a consultation first). Standalone treatments like the two-part Structure Repair and an Intense Moisture Treatment keep chemically treated hair strong and shiny.

New to Halo? There are one-time New Client Packages bundling colour, treatment and cut, and Afterpay is now accepted. Booking is easy online, with late nights on Wednesdays and Thursdays for those who can't make daytime appointments.

Halo Hair Studio: Private One-on-One Salon in Christchurch for Blondes, Balayage & Vivid Colour

Tucked onto Brougham Street in Christchurch, Halo Hair Studio offers something increasingly rare: a truly private, one-on-one salon experience. Run by stylist Emma, the studio is built around a simple idea — every appointment belongs to one client, in a warm and welcoming space where you can relax knowing the chair is entirely yours.

Emma brings more than 10 years of industry experience to the studio, and her work has a clear signature. She specialises in bright blondes, lived-in looks, balayage, and vivid fashion colours, alongside Qiqi Vega smoothing treatments. Just as important is her philosophy: a genuine passion for healthy hair. Colour at Halo is created with condition in mind, so you leave with colour and styles that feel like you — not a template.

What Halo is known for

Blondes are the heart of the menu. Whether you want a subtle refresh or a full transformation, there's a foil option to match: face-framing money pieces for a soft lift around the face, T-section foils to keep part lines bright, or half, three-quarter and full head foils for anything from sun-kissed to bright blonde — with dedicated appointments for thick or long hair. Balayage here is done teasy-light for that effortless, lived-in grow-out, and toner services (including root melt add-ons) keep your tone exactly where you want it.

For those chasing something bolder, Emma's vivid fashion colour work is a standout, and global colour services cover roots-to-ends transformations across short, medium and long hair. Global bleach appointments always begin with a consultation first, so expectations and hair health are discussed before any lifting starts.

Healthy hair doesn't stop at colour. The treatments menu includes an Intense Moisture Treatment and a two-part Structure Repair Treatment that works from the inside out to restore strength and shine — ideal for chemically damaged hair, and flexible enough to add onto any colour service or enjoy on its own.

New clients and practicalities

If you're visiting Halo for the first time, the New Client Packages are a smart entry point. Each one-time package pairs colour with a treatment and cut: a global colour package, a half head package, and a full head/balayage package. They're designed for natural hair or maintenance on existing salon colour — removing old colour, box dye or correcting previous work is classed as colour correction and needs its own conversation with Emma. Package prices are starting points and may adjust depending on the time and product your hair needs.

The full menu also covers the everyday essentials: haircuts tailored to hair length and thickness, wash and blow-dry services with a hot tool finish, and a rinse-off option after colour if you're not staying for a cut.

Visiting the studio

Halo Hair Studio runs Tuesday to Saturday, with late nights on Wednesdays and Thursdays until 8pm — handy if weekdays are tight. The easiest way to book is online, where you can pick your exact service and time. Afterpay is now accepted, giving you flexibility on how you pay.

What clients consistently find at Halo is the personal touch that only a one-on-one studio can offer. Emma loves connecting with her clients, and it shows — from the consultation through to the final mirror moment, you're the only person in the room. If you've been looking for a Christchurch colourist who treats hair health as seriously as the result, Halo Hair Studio is well worth a booking. As Emma herself puts it: she can't wait to start your hair journey with you.
