Hair salons and barbers Businesses in Somerfield, Christchurch, NZ

Somerfield sits on the lower slopes above the Heathcote River (Opawaho), and the local hair scene suits the neighbourhood's practical rhythm. Many people book in after a Port Hills outing, before a night in the CBD, or as part of the weekly routine.

MarketBase insights point to a compact set of about eight salons and barbers in and around Somerfield, averaging 4.6 out of 5 across reviews. With roughly 31 reviews per business on average, you can usually get a clear sense of how a place handles consultations, timing and consistency.

Expect a mix of classic barbering for regular maintenance, and salons that lean into colour and longer appointments. Online booking is common now, which helps around after-school and weekend rushes from nearby Cashmere High School families.

A few names locals recognise include The Groom Room for gentlemen, COLOURS hair studio (formerly Blink Hair Design), The Dread Shed, Hair Do and The Posh Makeovers. It is worth noting that only a small share of businesses respond to reviews, so the clearest signals tend to come from repeat-client detail rather than replies.
