TEN years, thousands of appointments, generations of local families and another very special milestone for apaR Hair Studio.
apaR Hair Studio has been named winner of the Health & Wellbeing Award at the 2026 Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce Marquee Business Awards, adding to a collection of local and national industry recognition received throughout its 10-year journey.
Owner Charlene Rapa says the recognition is a proud reflection of the entire team.
“Reaching 10 years and receiving this award means so much to all of us. apaR has never been about just doing hair, it’s about how people feel when they’re with us. I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built, the care they give every day and the trust our clients and community have placed in us over the past decade.”
For apaR, hairdressing has never been just about what you see in the mirror. It’s about how you feel when you walk back out the door – heard, cared for, confident and a little more like yourself again.
From healthy, lived-in colour and personalised haircare to the Luxury Head Spa, everything comes back to the same philosophy: healthy hair, honest advice and genuine care.
Behind it all is a long- standing team that has grown alongside apaR, with some members sharing seven, eight and nine years of the journey.
A decade of growth, recognition and trusted relationships has only strengthened what apaR set out to create from the beginning, a salon where beautiful hair and genuine care go hand in hand.
If you’ve ever walked into a salon feeling unsure, overwhelmed or simply wanting someone you can truly trust with your hair, it’s time to experience apaR. Come as you are and they will take care of the rest.
