Shear Havoc is a children's hair salon at 288 Clyde Road in Bryndwr, Christchurch, which calls itself Christchurch's first salon entirely designed for children. It cuts hair for children aged 0 to 17, with fun styling chairs, a play area for children waiting, and a sofa with coffee and magazines for parents. The owner and hairdresser, Wendy, has more than 30 years of experience. The salon's decor is muted, and lights and music can be dimmed for children with sensory needs. A free 10 to 15 minute "test drive" visit lets children explore the salon and meet the stylists before a haircut, and it can be booked as many times as needed. Within a kilometre, Open Locally lists two other hair salons: Jigsaw Hair, about 100 metres away and rated 4.7 from 80 reviews, and The Hair Factory Ltd, about 700 metres away and rated 4.7 from 32 reviews.
