Colour & Styling

Colour, mixed for you

Balayage, full colour, foils, a fresh cut or simply a blow-dry that behaves. Whatever you are after, your colour is tailored to your hair and finished so it looks as good at home as it does in the salon.

The approach

Bespoke from the first consultation

Good colour starts with a proper conversation. Before anything else we will talk through what you want, look at your hair as it is now, and be honest about what will work and how to get there, whether that is in one visit or a few.

Every formula is mixed by hand for your hair, your tone and how much upkeep you want, never off a chart. We finish every appointment with a cut or blow-dry so you leave polished, and you go home knowing exactly how to keep it looking its best.

What's involved

Colour, cut and finish

Balayage & highlights

Hand-painted balayage, babylights and foils for soft, sun-kissed dimension that grows out without a harsh line.

Full colour & root tints

Rich, even colour from root to tip, or a quick root tint to keep your existing colour looking fresh.

Toners & glosses

A toner or gloss to refine your shade, knock back brass and add the kind of shine that makes colour look expensive.

Cuts & restyles

From a tidy trim to a full restyle, cut to suit your hair, your face and how much you want to do in the morning.

Blow-dries & finishing

A blow-dry to finish your colour, or booked on its own for an occasion. Smooth, waved or full of body.

Colour correction

Bringing colour back to where you want it, planned carefully and, where needed, built up over more than one visit.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need a patch test?

Yes. For any colour service we need a quick skin test at least 48 hours before your appointment if it is your first colour with us, or your first in over six months. It only takes a moment and keeps you safe.

How long does a colour appointment take?

It depends on the service. A root tint might be an hour, while a full balayage with a cut and blow-dry can be three hours or more. We will give you a clear idea when you book.

How often should I come back?

Most colour clients return every six to twelve weeks. Balayage is lovely and low maintenance and can stretch longer, while a root tint usually needs topping up sooner.

Will colour damage my hair?

Looked after properly, no. We use quality products, add bond-building where it helps, and will always be honest if a look is better built up over a couple of visits to keep your hair healthy.

Can you fix colour from another salon?

Often, yes. Colour corrections need a proper consultation first so we can see what we are working with and plan it out, sometimes over more than one visit.

Do you offer consultations?

Always, and they are free. Pop in or message us on WhatsApp and we will talk through what you are after before anything is booked.
