Tint/Gloss
Permanent colour—often called a tint—is ideal for covering greys, subtly lightening hair, and achieving long-lasting results. While it fades slightly over time, it maintains full coverage, meaning you’ll see a clear regrowth line as your hair grows.
Gloss, in contrast, is a demi-permanent option that enhances shine and richness without permanently changing your hair’s natural tone. It gradually fades, making it a softer, lower-maintenance choice.
Toner
Toner is a refining process used after lightening. A demi-permanent colour is typically applied because its acidic base helps close the hair cuticle (which becomes alkaline during lightening). This not only adds shine but also allows for precise adjustment of tone. Lightened hair alone often appears golden, and toner helps shift it to the exact shade you’re after.
Balayage
Balayage is a freehand highlighting technique where colour is painted onto the surface of the hair to create a soft, natural transition. It typically focuses on mid-lengths and ends, leaving the roots more natural. This creates a lived-in, low-maintenance finish that grows out gracefully without harsh regrowth lines.
Highlights
Highlights involve lightening selected strands to add brightness and contrast. Techniques like foiling or babylights are used to control placement and intensity. This approach can add subtle sun-kissed accents or more dramatic dimension, depending on your preferences.
Bleaching
Bleaching lifts your natural hair colour by breaking down melanin using a combination of hydrogen peroxide, persulfates, and ammonia. It’s used for major transformations—like going platinum or pastel—but it can be damaging if not done with care. Proper technique and high-quality products are essential to keeping hair as healthy as possible.
