I think we should add this since 哈羅 appears in several Chinese dictionaries, including 漢語大詞典:
『英語hello的譯音。 打招呼用語。』
not to mention that we already have such words as 嗨 and 拜拜

however, in practice, the 哈嘍 variant is more common, since it's closer to the actual English pronunciation. Google hits are unreliable here, since 哈羅 also appears as part of various transliterations

Editor: I'm adding 哈啰 while at it.
Diff:
+ 哈羅 哈罗 [ha1 luo2] /hello (loanword)/
+ 哈嘍 哈喽 [ha1 lou2] /hello (loanword)/
+ 哈啰 哈啰 [ha1 luo1] /hello (loanword)/
