Full Head Colour

Perfect for those who want a complete colour transformation or full grey coverage. Choose from natural tones or creative colours — our expert stylists will ensure even, vibrant results from root to tip.

Permanent Colour offers long-lasting results but shows noticeable regrowth as your hair grows, creating a clear line between natural and coloured sections.

Semi-Permanent Colour is a gentler option that subtly shifts your hair by 1–3 shades (without lightening), and it gradually washes out rather than growing out. Depending on your hair type and washing frequency, it typically lasts 2 to 6 weeks.

Balayage & Ombré

Two popular techniques for soft, blended colour:

  • Balayage creates sun-kissed tones throughout the hair by lightening selected strands while leaving natural colour in between. This technique results in a low-maintenance, lived-in look that grows out beautifully.
  • Reverse Balayage is ideal for those with ombré who want to soften or darken their look. It involves adding deeper tones to break up lighter pieces, giving a more natural, blended appearance.
  • Ombré fades darker roots into lighter ends for a more defined contrast. It’s a bolder style than balayage, as colour is applied from the mid-lengths down to the tips of every strand.

 

♦ Balayage vs Ombré: What’s the Difference?

Root Touch‑Up

Maintain your colour and keep regrowth at bay. Ideal for covering greys or refreshing your existing tone. Quick, cost-effective, and makes a big difference.

Highlights & Lowlights

Add dimension and texture to your hair. Highlights brighten your overall look, while lowlights add depth and richness — especially useful for blending greys or softening a base colour.

Highlights can range from chunky statement pieces to baby-fine strands, adding brightness and dimension. Lowlights, on the other hand, add depth and shadow to your natural colour, enhancing texture and movement.

💡 Expert Tips for Your Colour Journey

  • Book a consultation. A 10-minute chat with your stylist helps us recommend shades that suit your complexion, lifestyle, and hair health.

  • Come with clean, dry hair. Product build-up can interfere with colour absorption — we suggest washing the day before your appointment.

  • Don’t skip aftercare. Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep your colour vibrant longer. We’ll recommend salon-quality products just for you.

  • Refresh regularly. Root touch-ups are usually needed every 4–6 weeks; balayage or highlights can last 8–12 weeks with minimal upkeep.
