On Lincoln Road in Addington — one of Christchurch's most on-trend suburbs — Soho Hair has made a name for itself by bringing a touch of New York to the south of the city. The award-winning salon works out of a striking space: sleek black and chrome accents, polished concrete floors and a sophisticated, luxurious feel that still manages to be warm and welcoming. It's a fashion-forward salon where style meets service, and where the team's guiding philosophy is simple: it's not just a haircut, it's an experience.
Soho Hair is set up for clients who want to slow down rather than be rushed through. A comfortable lounge invites you to catch up on the latest fashion magazines while you enjoy an espresso coffee or a cup of tea, and the team is upfront that client relationships are their main focus. The aim is that every client feels comfortable from the moment they walk in, backed by a guarantee of high-quality service — and there's a gallery on the salon's website if you'd like a preview of the space and the team's work before you book.
The salon is directed by Sarah Marsh, who is driven to make Soho an outstanding place for both fashion and relaxation. Behind her is a deep bench of highly trained stylists who stay at the forefront of industry trends while prioritising personalised care. Elite stylists Jessie, Louise and Jordan — Jordan also manages the salon — are joined by senior stylists Jessica, Leigh and Alana, new talent stylists Lotty and Emily, and apprentices Kacey and Asay. That mix of experience levels means there's a stylist to suit nearly every brief, whether you're after a maintenance trim, a full restyle or something in between, and each stylist has their own page on the salon site so you can get a feel for their work before choosing who to book with.
Soho believes in quality, and it shows in the brands it chooses to stock. The salon is an exclusive stockist of Evo, Lakme, Olaplex, Moroccanoil and GHD — a carefully curated short list spanning professional haircare, bond-building treatments, argan oil-infused nourishment and iconic styling tools. It means the products your stylist uses in the chair are the same ones you can take home, keeping your look in shape between visits.
Soho Hair opens Tuesday to Friday from 9am, with late nights on Wednesday and Thursday until 8pm for after-work appointments, and Saturday trading from 9am to 4pm. The salon is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Appointments can be booked online through the salon's Kitomba booking page or by phone on (03) 9620285. As a courtesy, Soho asks for 24 hours' notice on all cancelled appointments. Visa, Mastercard and humm payments are accepted, so a fresh look doesn't have to wait for payday.
For Christchurch locals, that combination is a rare one: a genuinely stylish space, an award-winning team, and a service culture built on relationships rather than turnover. Whether you're after a quick refresh between cuts or a longer, transformative session in the chair, Soho Hair delivers the kind of experience that keeps its Addington neighbourhood coming back.
