About Savanna Hair Solutions - Northlink

Savanna Hair Solutions is a Christchurch specialist in hair extensions and hair loss solutions, based in the Northlink Shopping Centre at 84 Langdons Road in Papanui. Formerly known as Beyoncé Hair Extensions, the business has been part of New Zealand's hair extension industry for over 16 years and now offers a broader range of products and services under the Savanna name — bringing all types of hair extensions together so clients can choose from a full spectrum of options, from high-quality cosmetic extensions to medical-grade hair loss extensions for women and children.

The salon's work has a strong focus on people experiencing hair loss. Many clients dealing with alopecia, hereditary hair loss, cancer, stress or female pattern thinning find that hair loss extensions positively affect their healing and recovery. Savanna also runs an on-site wig making service that caters to oncology clients from all over New Zealand, alongside medical and cosmetic wigs and a dedicated hair loss collection of head scarves.

Every service starts with hair safety in mind. New clients visit for an initial consultation, where needs are discussed and the best application method for their hair type is recommended — light, seamless techniques for very fine hair, for example. The full service menu covers the Nano system, Invisible Bead Weaving, fusion, micro ring, braid weave, micro weave, tape, clip-ins, braiding and cornrows, and a rigorous maintenance programme supports every technique, with the stated goal of healthy hair once extensions are removed. Barber services, bridal extensions and a hair extension and wig cutting bar round out the salon menu.

An online store extends the salon's reach, shipping to more than 40 countries with secure payments and a 14-day money-back guarantee on purchases. It stocks extensions, wigs from human hair to Jon Renau and synthetic ranges, custom-made Signature Strands, hair pieces, head scarves, brushes and hair care lines including Angel, Argan, keratin and curly hair products.

Savanna Hair Solutions: Hair Extension & Hair Loss Specialists in Papanui, Christchurch

Tucked into the Northlink Shopping Centre at 84 Langdons Road in Papanui, Savanna Hair Solutions does work that reaches well beyond a conventional salon visit. This is a studio built around two things: hair extensions of every description, and hair loss support for women and children. Formerly known as Beyoncé Hair Extensions, the business has been part of New Zealand's hair extension industry for more than 16 years, and today positions itself as an industry leader helping women regain their confidence one customer at a time.

Why the name changed

The rebrand from Beyoncé Hair Extensions to Savanna was deliberate. As the business diversified, so did its customer base, and the team wanted a name that represented the many faces they serve. The savanna — the life-giving African landscape that provides space for the cycle of life to flourish — became a metaphor for the salon's mission: offering clients what they call the life-giving forces of confidence and wellness. The philosophy is simple. When you look great, you feel great, and a large part of healing is tied to mental health. By providing quality hair to those in need, the team helps clients feel better one head at a time.

Extensions for every hair type

Everything at Savanna starts with a consultation. Hair safety is described as paramount, so before any work begins, clients sit down to discuss their needs and hear which application method best suits their hair. Someone with very fine hair, for instance, will be steered toward a light, seamless technique that places no stress on the natural hair.

The full service menu is extensive: the Nano hair extension system with its ultra-fine, virtually undetectable strands; the Invisible Bead Weaving System with silicone-lined beads placed close to the scalp; fusion; micro ring; braid weave; micro weave; tape; hair loss extensions; medical and cosmetic wigs; clip-ins; braiding; and even cornrows. A rigorous maintenance programme supports every technique — considered imperative if extensions are to last longer and stay healthier, with the ultimate goal being healthy hair once the extensions come off. Alongside all this, the salon offers barber services, bridal and special occasion extensions, and a dedicated hair extension and wig cutting bar.

Hair loss support with heart

Where Savanna truly sets itself apart is in hair loss. Clients experiencing alopecia, hereditary hair loss, cancer, stress and female pattern thinning find that hair loss extensions can positively affect healing and recovery. The salon runs an on-site wig making service catering to oncology clients from all over New Zealand, and its store carries medical wigs, synthetic and human hair wigs, hair pieces and a hair loss collection of head scarves, including the Champion Kids & Teenagers range and the Yanna Collection.

Customer reviews underline the difference this makes. One client describes going from a too-short grow-out to a full head of beautiful locks, while another calls stylist Melissa a godsend for both herself and her daughter, praising her empathy and understanding. It's a recurring theme: this is a place where the emotional side of hair loss is treated as seriously as the technical side.

The shop, and how to visit

Savanna's online store extends its reach well past Christchurch, shipping to more than 40 countries with secure payments and a 14-day money-back guarantee. It stocks extensions of every attachment type — u-tips, nano tips, tape-ins, clip-ins and weaving hair — plus wigs from human hair to Jon Renau and synthetic ranges, custom-made Signature Strands, hair pieces, brushes and hair care lines including Angel, Argan, keratin and curly hair products, along with gift certificates.

Whether you're after added length, a bridal look, or sensitive support through medical hair loss, appointments can be booked online, and the team welcomes enquiries by phone. For anyone in Christchurch navigating hair loss, this Northlink salon offers something rarer than a service menu: a place built around helping you feel like yourself again.
