What AI tells people about you

COLOURS hair studio is a friendly, relaxed hair salon in Somerfield, Christchurch, formerly Blink Hair Design. Serving the Somerfield community and greater Christchurch for more than 20 years, the salon offers cuts, colouring and specialist services. Bookings are essential via phone, text, Facebook Messenger or online, and the team highlights experienced stylists and a recently renovated studio.

COLOURS hair studio is a hair salon located in the heart of Somerfield, Christchurch. The salon has served clients from Somerfield and across Christchurch for more than 20 years and was re-born as COLOURS hair studio after an extensive renovation in early 2026. It presents itself as a friendly, relaxed space for local hair services.

The salon provides a broad range of services including haircuts and colouring alongside several specialist treatments. Their offerings include Bond Repair Treatments for softer, stronger hair; Brazilian Secrets Hair Pro Keratin Smoothing Treatments to reduce frizz and improve manageability; and Japanese chemical straightening and perms. The team also states use of branded professional products.

Customers frequently describe the staff as friendly and professional, and reviews note thorough consultations and helpful styling advice. Many clients report satisfaction with cuts and colour results, and highlight a clean, tidy salon environment. Repeat bookings from families and individual clients indicate a focus on personalised service and consistent outcomes.

Practically, COLOURS hair studio combines long-standing local presence with a renovated, relaxed space and a range of technical treatments. Bookings are essential and can be made by phone, text, Facebook Messenger or online. This makes it a Somerfield option for clients seeking both everyday cuts and specialist smoothing or repair treatments.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

COLOURS hair studio shows a solid health score with room to optimise the listing further. The main strengths are that the listing is claimed, open-for-business status is accurate, it includes a website link and a visible phone number, and the title is present. The two key opportunities focus on refining the description and adding fresh photos to reach the local midpoint.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Open statusYour listing shows the business as trading, so customers see accurate availability and Google treats the listing as live.
  • ✓
    ClaimedYour listing is claimed, so you control what it says, you can reply to reviews, and edits suggested by the public come to you first.
  • ✓
    NameYour business name is showing on the listing, so a customer searching for you by name finds you, and everything else on the listing hangs off it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Description lengthYour description is far shorter than what most businesses here have written, which means a customer comparing listings gets a line from you and three paragraphs from the business beside you.
  • 2
    Photos on the listingThere are more pictures on most listings around you than on yours, so a customer flicking between them gets a fuller look at the businesses either side of you.
  • 3
    Category fitYour categories cover this market better than the middle of the field, so you appear in most of the searches your competitors appear in.

Where customers find you

COLOURS hair studio shows below average health for Citations & Social Presence, with a 3.1/10 overall. The strongest completed asset is Facebook, which remains outstanding and supports credibility with high trust. Key achievements include a fully updated Fresha profile and a solid Fresha directory presence, which help local visibility beyond the main listing.

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.
  • ✓
    Fresha ProfileWe can see your Fresha Profile listing (https://fresha.com/colours-hair-studio-christchurch-4a-somerfield-street-u8l83vl7) found via: Google search results.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Instagram ProfileWe could not find an active Instagram Profile profile for your business, so a customer who looks for you there finds nothing.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    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.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

COLOURS hair studio shows above-average on-page SEO health with a 6.5/10. Highlights include a fast page load under 3 seconds, presence of an H1 tag, secure HTTPS content, and adequate text length. Key opportunities focus on meta description length, title tag length, favicon presence, and reducing render-blocking resources to improve load speed and visibility.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.
  • ✓
    Page load speedYour home page appears in under three seconds, so someone tapping through from a search result meets your business rather than a blank screen while they decide whether to wait.

Top three opportunities

    The shape of your link profileNo links to your site were found, so there is no shape to read yet.
  • 3

How people find you on Google

COLOURS hair studio shows a balanced website traffic profile with an above-average health score of 5.8/10. Organic traffic value remains solid and above the 25th percentile, indicating reliable search visibility, while paid traffic is not yet measured. The key takeaway is to establish a minimal paid strategy and continue refining organic foundations to sustain growth.

Strengths

Your first one is close. Sort an opportunity below and it moves up here.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    What that traffic is worthThe search visitors reaching your site are worth less than most businesses here, which means the work coming in arrives through word of mouth and repeat customers rather than through people searching for what you do.
  • 2
    What you spend on adsWe can see no paid search activity for your site, which in most local markets is the norm rather than a gap.
  • 3
    Monthly search visitsYour site draws fewer visitors from search than most businesses here, so most people looking for what you do are landing somewhere else.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

COLOURS hair studio's opening hours partly match local demand: key weekday lunchtime peaks on Tuesday (11am-2pm) and Wednesday (12pm) are covered, supporting bookings during those times. However, several Saturday midday hours with very high search activity (10am-2pm) are missed while closed. No low-demand hours are open, so stretching weekend hours into Saturday midday would likely be the most efficient adjustment to capture extra trade.
