Highly recommend Chiara. I requested "mostly silent appointment as I get very anxious with small talk" and that is exactly what I got, Chiara did not make it awkward, it was comfortable, professional and the results where great. It only too...

Where customers find you

Chiara Rigalli Hairstylist Salon shows a solid online health with a health score of 8.6 out of 10, indicating very strong presence across key platforms. The strongest assets are outstanding Instagram and Facebook profiles, plus a well-maintained Fresha listing and directory presence. The main opportunities focus on adding TikTok, NoSecretSalon, LinkedIn, and a LinkedIn company page to broaden reach.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Tiktok ProfileWe could not find an active TikTok account for your business, so anyone who looks for you there finds nothing.
  • 2
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.
  • 3
    Fresha ProfileWe can see the Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/chiara-rigalli-hairstylist-christchurch-236-major-hornbrook-road-i7x8ofse) found via: Google search results, but nothing on it tells us it is yours - no matching phone number, no matching address, and the name does not line up.

Strengths

  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.
  • ✓
    A street addressA street address sits in your page details, so someone deciding between you and a business two suburbs over can see which of you is closer.

Top three opportunities

    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than most in this market, which means a post reaches people who already know you rather than anyone still deciding.

Your hours against demand

Chiara Rigalli Hairstylist Salon's published hours align well with several local demand peaks, especially mid-morning and early afternoon on Tuesdays and Saturdays. However there are notable missed high-demand slots when the salon is closed, particularly Monday mid-day, Saturday 2pm and Sunday afternoon. No hours are open during low-demand windows, so inefficiency from unnecessary open hours is not evident.
