First visit here for nanoplasty hair straightening with Rochelle. Very happy with the experience 😊
Did a great job with an up do for a ball. Really listened to what my daughter wanted.
Shatner is fantastic and listens to what you want and has good ideas if you are not sure. Highly recommend
Absolutely loved Kerry’s work!! I wanted my hair highlighted for graduation and got exactly what I requested ☺️ We had great chats and I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process.
Kerry is amazing, fixed my broken and over coloured blond hair and I am so grateful.
First visit to the salon. Sharne was great. Very friendly. Happy to discuss ideas and I am very pleased with the cut! Pleasant environment and truly professional service. Will definitely be back!⭐️😊
Sharne is so lovely, very helpful with ideas I want to do with my hair. Shows me colour options and very down to earth. Love getting my hair done with her.
Rochelle is such a talented hairdresser and I’m really happy for how she coloured and styled my hair. Nice natural colour and hair style that suits me and I’m loving it!! I will book for the next appointment with her for a sure!
I am super happy with my long-cut with Dammika!

I have been to Laboratorie in Kingland a few times and each visit I have had a different hairdresser. Dammika has done one of the best works I have experienced here.
He cut my bangs exactly how I requested (not too short or wide, and with face framing), as well as keeping my length while making sure the ends were healthy. After the cut, he styled my hair beautifully and I left the salon feeling great after such a positive experience.

Thank you Dammika!
Rochelle was tasked with fixing up a botched cut and colour and didn’t disappoint. She knows her stuff, great to talk through what I wanted and could be done, and delivered :-) very happy with the result

Discover April’s Hair Salon – Christchurch’s Newest Destination for Elevated Style at 804 Colombo Street

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Christchurch’s CBD, April’s Hair Salon is proud to unveil its newest location at 804 Colombo Street—a space thoughtfully designed to deliver not just exceptional hair services, but a complete experience rooted in professionalism, personalisation, and premium care. As part of New Zealand’s fastest-growing collective of high-performing salons, April’s brings its signature blend of technical excellence, client-first service, and modern elegance to one of the city’s most dynamic streets.

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll notice something different. This isn’t just another hair salon—it’s a destination where every detail has been curated to elevate your visit. Clean lines, calming greenery, strategic lighting, and ergonomic styling stations create an atmosphere that balances sophistication with comfort. We’ve removed outdated displays, simplified signage, and reimagined the layout to ensure both clients and stylists can thrive in a space that feels open, inviting, and purpose-built for beauty.

A Legacy of Excellence, Now in Christchurch

April’s Hair Salon has quickly become a leading name across New Zealand, known for consistently delivering fresh cuts, vibrant colour transformations, and bespoke styling that reflects each client’s individuality. Our reputation isn’t built on trends alone—it’s grounded in operational excellence, talented teams, and a relentless focus on results. At 804 Colombo Street, we bring that same standard to Christchurch, combining national expertise with local warmth.

Our Christchurch salon is more than an expansion—it’s a commitment. A commitment to raising the bar for hair services in the region, to investing in top-tier talent, and to creating a workplace where stylists are empowered to grow, innovate, and exceed expectations. Whether you’re a long-time local or new to the area, you’ll find a team that listens, understands, and executes with precision.

Services Designed Around You

At April’s Christchurch, we offer a full suite of premium hair services tailored to modern lifestyles:

  • Precision Cuts & Styling – From sharp bobs to layered lobs and men’s fades, our cuts are engineered for movement, shape, and ease of maintenance.
  • Custom Colour – Whether you’re after sun-kissed balayage, bold fashion shades, or seamless grey coverage, our colourists use only professional-grade products for lasting vibrancy and condition.
  • Keratin & Smoothing Treatments – Say goodbye to frizz and hello to silky, manageable hair with our advanced keratin systems—now priced strategically to reflect their value and results.
  • Blowouts & Special Occasion Styling – Perfect for weddings, events, or simply treating yourself, our finishing services ensure you leave camera-ready.
  • Consultative Care – Every appointment begins with a conversation. We believe great hair starts with understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

All services are priced to reflect the quality, time, and expertise involved—because true value isn’t found in the cheapest option, but in the best outcome. Recent strategic price adjustments across key services (including cuts, keratins, and blowdrys) ensure we continue attracting and retaining elite stylists while delivering unmatched results.

A Team That Performs—and Cares

Behind every great salon is a great team. At April’s Christchurch, we’re actively building a crew of passionate, punctual, and performance-driven stylists who embody our core values: professionalism, teamwork, and client obsession. We’re currently hiring experienced stylists and nurturing apprentices through structured development pathways—because growing talent is as important as serving clients.

Each stylist at 804 Colombo Street is held to a clear performance standard: generating 2.5 times their wage in weekly revenue, with a minimum target of $2,250 per week. This isn’t about pressure—it’s about ensuring our team is valued, busy, and continuously improving. And because we track performance transparently through Timely, our salon management system, everyone knows where they stand and how they’re progressing.

We also believe in flexible, smart scheduling. Many of our stylists work focused shifts (e.g., 12pm–6pm) to maximise productivity during peak booking windows—ensuring clients get prompt service and stylists maintain sustainable workloads.

Technology That Works for You—and Us

From booking to payment, your experience at April’s is seamless thanks to integrated digital systems:

  • Online Booking via Timely – View real-time availability, select your preferred stylist, and book in seconds.
  • 15% Deposit System – To reduce no-shows and secure your appointment, a small deposit is taken at booking (refundable with proper notice).
  • Flexible Payments – We support Afterpay and Zip Pay, so you can spread the cost of larger services like keratin treatments or colour corrections.
  • Automated Reminders & Courtesy Calls – Forget missed appointments. We proactively confirm bookings via text and phone to keep your schedule on track.

For our team, tools like Employment Hero streamline clock-ins, GPS-verified attendance, and payroll—freeing up management time so we can focus on what matters: your experience.

Built for Retention, Designed for Growth

We don’t just want you to visit once—we want you to return. That’s why we’re launching a rebooking incentive: clients who book their next appointment within six weeks receive 10% off their next service. It’s our way of rewarding loyalty and ensuring your hair stays on point year-round.

We’re also rolling out a monthly newsletter packed with style tips, seasonal offers, and exclusive invites—keeping you connected and inspired between visits.

And because convenience matters, if you’re closer to another April’s location (like Riccarton or Merivale), we’ll gladly direct you there for faster availability—because your time is valuable, and your satisfaction is non-negotiable.

Safety, Security, and Sustainability

Your peace of mind is paramount. Our Colombo Street salon features discreet security cameras for safety, a clutter-free environment for hygiene, and sustainable practices—from product sourcing to waste reduction. We’ve even removed the old fridge and glass displays to create a cleaner, more functional space that aligns with our modern aesthetic.
