What AI tells people about you

Side Street Hair is a hair salon in Redwood, Christchurch. The team states they are fully qualified in all aspects of hairdressing and offer experienced stylists, a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere and long-term client relationships that often include personalised care such as colour and cut services and friendly conversation over a cuppa.

Side Street Hair is a hair salon located in Redwood, Christchurch. The salon describes itself as fully qualified in all aspects of hairdressing and operates from a nearby, easy-to-find location within the suburb.

The salon states capability across hairdressing tasks and presents that range under its fully qualified team. Services are described broadly as covering all aspects of hairdressing rather than a list of specific offerings, and experienced stylists form the core of the team.

Customer feedback highlights a relaxing atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, and experienced stylists who provide consistent colour and cut results. Reviews note long-term client relationships, with some clients attending for decades, and regular mentions of personal touches such as chats and a cuppa. Several comments reference the salon being warm inside and presently mindful of virus regulations.

What distinguishes Side Street Hair locally is its combination of a fully qualified team, a settled client base and a neighbourhood-friendly setting in Redwood. Customers can expect experienced stylists, an unhurried, welcoming environment and a salon that has maintained long-standing relationships in the Christchurch area.

01Google listingMarketbase business report

Your Google listing

Side Street Hair shows a low overall health on Google Business Listing with a 2.7/10, indicating significant room for improvement. The business has claimed status, a listed phone number and full address, and is showing open status, which helps basic credibility. The strongest current strength is basic listing completeness, though gaps persist in website link, logo and rich photo content.

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
    WebsiteYour listing has no website link, so a customer who wants to check your prices or your work before ringing has nowhere to go from Google.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    LogoYour listing has no logo, so in a list of local results yours is the one with a blank space where every competitor has a mark.

Your reviews

Side Street Hair shows a low overall health score of 2.6 out of 10, indicating significant room for improvement in Google reviews. The most important findings are zero responses to reviews and a growing but still modest review count, with confidence near the lower end and a solid but early rating.

Strengths

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

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Response rateNone of your reviews have a reply, which means a customer reading them sees your happiest and your angriest customers with nothing from you in between.
  • 2
    Star ratingYour rating sits well below what customers here are used to seeing, and it is the first number they compare when two businesses look otherwise equal.
  • 3
    Review confidenceYour rating and your review count together sit behind half the businesses here, so a customer weighing three listings has slightly less reason to trust yours.

Where you show up on the map

Side Street Hair shows strong overall health in Google Maps with a high visibility score of 8.0 out of 10. The borough-specific ranking is outstanding, placing it in the top 10% locally. The business should maintain this strength while continuing to fine-tune for broader maps queries.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Maps visibility in your own suburbNo business in your suburb turns up in local Maps searches more often than you do - for a customer searching nearby, you are among the first names on the screen.

Top opportunity

  • 1
    Maps visibility across the city groupYou turn up across more of the surrounding suburbs than the middle of the field, so customers searching from outside your own patch are finding you.

Where customers find you

Side Street Hair shows low overall health in Citations & Social Presence, with 2.3/10. Key findings indicate an outstanding Facebook presence and useful neighbourhood and directory listings, but gaps exist on Instagram, TikTok and related directories that limit local visibility and engagement for residents and visitors.

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/side-street-hair-norrie-street-christchurch-PVElYV) found via: Google search results.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Side Street Hair has no recorded opening hours, so temporal alignment with local demand cannot be measured. As a result there are no hours recorded as open during high-demand windows, and all city-level peak search periods are effectively closed-representing missed commercial opportunities. Adding published hours would allow a clear comparison and targeted adjustments to capture demand.
