Balayage brilliance

Our expert Balayage Christchurch Creatives deliver mesmerising transformations. Applied freehand, Balayage exploits hair colour to enhance your features, and the colour of your eyes, skin and hair. Using a blend of radiant tones, the results are a natural effect around the face and the hair tips.  Balayage is beautiful, versatile and low maintenance; whether you opt for a light subtle ombre look or go all out for a bright blonde or vibrant colour, there are no harsh lines of regrowth, so you’ll look amazing for the rest of summer.

Curly hair magic: Unleash your gorgeous curls

Do you want your curls tamed for the holiday season? If you’ve never booked a hair appointment with a curly hair specialist hairdresser, now is the time to do it. Curls require TLC and specialist haircuts. Visit our expert curly hairdressers in our hair salon CHCH to show you how to restore curls, unlock and accentuate their natural beauty. From elegant updos to defined curls, your curls are your crowning glory. 



Glamorous hair up services for special occasions

For those attending Christmas weddings or other special events and occasions, our tailored hair up services add a definitive touch of glamour. ‘Hair up’ may trigger distant memories of bobby pins, vast amounts of hair spray and pain as your hair was pulled to the top of your head. However, the experience has evolved beyond recognition.

Corkin and Friends hair stylists consult with you to understand your personal style, likes and dislikes before creating a hairstyle to complement your outfit (bring a picture!) but also your hair condition and texture. From sleek power ponytails, an elevated half-up, classic braids or even just the perfectly curated undone messy bun; if you rate it, our Christchurch hairdressers create it.
