Choosing the right colour service is essential for achieving a look that complements your style and fits your lifestyle. In my studio, I prioritise hair health and longevity, ensuring every colour service is tailored to your unique needs.
Below is an overview of the core services I provide, including how they work and who they are best suited for.
Root and Full Head Tint Refresh
These services use permanent or demi-permanent oxidative dyes to provide consistent, beautiful coverage.
- Root Tint Refresh: Ideal for maintaining your existing shade and providing 100% grey coverage. This service focuses on the regrowth at the roots to ensure a seamless blend with your mid-lengths.
- Full Head Tint Refresh: Best for those looking for a complete colour change, going darker, or reviving a faded shade from root to tip. It provides a uniform, high-shine finish.
Best for: Full grey coverage and those who prefer a solid, impactful colour. Maintenance: Typically required every 4–8 weeks to manage regrowth.
Highlights and Balayage
I specialise in light-focused techniques that add movement and brightness to the hair. Note that toning is included in these services to ensure the perfect finished hue.
- T-Section / Face Framing: A targeted service to brighten the areas around the face and the parting. Perfect for a “pick-me-up” between larger appointments.
- Half Head Highlights or Balayage: Adds significant dimension and brightness through the top and sides of the hair.
- Full Head Highlights or Balayage: A total transformation that provides lightness and depth throughout the entire head of hair.
The Difference:
- Highlights: Strands are lightened from root to tip using foils for a structured, brightened look.
- Balayage: A blended lightening technique that creates a soft, sun-kissed transition. This is ideal for a “lived-in” look with a very natural grow-out.
Platinum Blonde and Lightening
- Platinum Blonde: This is a specialist chemical process to remove natural pigment and achieve the lightest possible blonde.
- Corrective or Creative Colour: Price and time are determined upon consultation. These services are bespoke for those needing to fix previous colour or those wanting non-traditional shades.
Important Note: Lightening is an intensive process. I always prioritise the integrity of your hair and may recommend bond-building treatments to maintain strength and shine.
The Role of Toners and Glossing
A Toner is a specialised treatment used after any lightening service. Its acidic formula helps to close the hair cuticle, neutralise unwanted brassy tones, and add a precise reflects (such as ash, gold, or pearlescent).
While toners are included with my highlighting and balayage services, they can also be booked as a standalone to refresh your colour and boost shine between main appointments.
Why Book a Consultation?
Every professional colour journey begins with a conversation. This allows me to:
- Perform a Patch Test: Essential for your safety, required 48 hours before any colour application.
- Assess Hair Health: I check the condition of your hair to ensure it can safely achieve your desired result.
- Plan for Longevity: We will discuss a realistic maintenance schedule that fits your budget and time.
