Americans often use 'Hello' with a big smile. It is considered friendly and open. In the UK, 'Hello' is often followed by 'you alright?' which is a greeting, not a question about health. Australians might shorten 'Hello' to 'G'day', but 'Hello' is still perfectly understood. Canadians are known for being very polite; 'Hello' is almost always accompanied by a 'please' or 'thank you' in service settings.
