Studio 44 is a hair salon at 44 Wyn Street in Hoon Hay, Christchurch, with a 4.5 rating from 15 Google reviews. Reviews are mixed: one loyal client praises stylist Tracy's colour, cuts and product advice, while a few customers report unanswered emails and no shipping updates when ordering through the website.
In hairdressing, the relationship with the individual stylist often matters more than the salon's name. Colour work rewards loyalty: a colourist who knows how your hair takes tint, how it fades and what has been done to it before can repeat and refine a result in a way a first visit can't. A good salon will also give an honest consultation, talking through what suits your hair type and the upkeep a look will need, rather than just copying the photo you brought in.
For Hoon Hay locals, Studio 44 looks like one to visit in the chair rather than through its website.
