Hair Colour Transformations

From a simple root touch-up to a full head of balayage and everything in between, we can turn your hair dreams into reality. We have rounded up some of our favourite hair colour before and after pictures over the years that you can use as inspiration for your transformation.

We prioritise the health of your natural hair

We believe that healthy hair creates the best canvas. That’s why we treat each part of your hair individually. Its strength naturally changes from root to ends, and so does its tolerance.

Your roots are new hair with higher processing strength, while the mid-lengths and ends are older and more fragile. We adjust our formulas and timing to suit each area. We also consider your hair’s full history, including past colouring, heat use, and treatments. This helps us avoid over-processing and protect delicate areas.

By colouring only what needs to be coloured, we create soft, natural-looking results while prioritising the health of your natural hair.

• How often do I need to colour my hair?

  How often you need to get your hair colour re-done can vary depending on individual factors such as hair growth rate, desired colour intensity, and personal preference. Here is a general guide:

  • Full-Colour Application (tint): Needs to be re-applied every 6-8 weeks.
  • Highlights / Lowlights: Can last 8-12 weeks before needing to be re-touched, depending on how much contrast you want to maintain.
  • Balayage: This is the lowest maintenance hair colouring technique since it has a natural regrowth. A balayage can last for 4 months before needing to be re-done.
  • Root Touch-ups: Should be re-done every 4-6 weeks to prevent noticeable roots due to hair growth.
  • Vivid or Fashion Colours: Require more frequent maintenance due to the clear separation they create from your natural hair colour. You may need touch-ups every 3-6 weeks.

• Which colouring technique has the least maintenance?

  We recommend Balayage to clients looking for a low-maintenance hair colour technique for several reasons:

  1. Root Growth Blending: With balayage, the colour is applied to allow a gradual transition from your natural hair colour to the highlighted or coloured sections. As your hair grows, there won’t be a stark contrast between your roots and the rest of your hair, resulting in a less noticeable regrowth compared to other methods.
  2. Less Frequent Touch-Ups: Unlike traditional foiling or highlighting methods that require touch-ups every four-six weeks, balayage can go much longer without needing a refresh. You can typically wait eight-twelve weeks or longer between salon visits.
  3. Soft and Natural Look: Balayage creates a softer, more natural look than a uniform, all-over colour. This natural effect means that even as the colour gradually lightens over time or as your hair grows, it still looks intentional.
  4. Minimal Bleaching: Balayage requires less bleaching than traditional full-head highlights. Since the bleach is strategically applied, it reduces the need for frequent conditioning treatments.

  In summary, balayage is a low-maintenance hair colour technique because it offers a natural and gradual transition, reduces the need for frequent touch-ups, requires less commitment, and can be tailored to your preferences and lifestyle. It’s a popular choice for those who want an in-trend and manageable hair colour option.

• How long will it take to have my hair coloured?

  Full Head Colour (tint): Applying colour to your entire head of hair can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on hair length and texture.

  • Highlights, Lowlights, Balayage, Babylights, and Ombre: These techniques require more time because the colour is applied strategically to create dimension and contrast. Depending on the desired effect and the length of your hair, the process can take 90 minutes to 3 hours.
  • Fashion Colours: If you’re going for vibrant fashion colours, the application process may take up to 2 hours.
  • Root Touch-Up: If you’re touching up your roots to cover grey hair or to maintain your current colour, the service typically takes around 30 minutes.

  These are general estimates. Your stylist will give you an accurate time for your treatment during your online or in-salon consultation.

• What is a colour patch test and why do I need one?

  Changing your hair colour is a quick way to upgrade your look when a new season comes around, and you’re ‘itching’ to switch things up. However, around 1.5% of the population is allergic to PPD, which is present in most hair colouring products.

  A hair colour patch test is a simple procedure that involves applying a small amount of hair colour to your skin to check for any allergic reactions. The test is done behind your ear, where the skin is more sensitive.

  PPD, or paraphenylenediamine, is a chemical that is commonly used in hair colour. It is what gives hair dye its long-lasting colour. However, PPD can cause allergic reactions to those with sensitive skin.

  Because of the potential allergens associated with PPD, we believe it is important to offer a range of safe alternatives for those who are allergic to it. Our range of PPD-free hair colours is similar to traditional hair dyes without the risks.

• My hair has been damaged at another salon, can you fix it?

  Yes, absolutely. Helping clients restore their hair’s health is one of our core specialities.

  We have extensive experience with clients who come to us with compromised hair – whether it’s over-processed, brittle, frizzy, or experiencing breakage from improper bleach or colour services.

  Our process always begins with a thorough, in-depth consultation. One of our senior colourists will assess your hair’s current condition, listen to your concerns, and create a realistic, restorative plan with you.

  This plan typically involves two key stages:

  1. Colour Correction: If the damage is related to an improper colour application, our first priority is to correct the colour safely. We will create a precise plan to safely restore your hair’s integrity and achieve the colour you want without causing any further harm.
  2. Hair Rehabilitation: We will design a personalised in-salon and at-home treatment programme to rebuild your hair’s strength and health from the inside out. This plan focuses on rebuilding the hair’s internal strength and restoring essential moisture, while stopping further breakage. When followed, this programme creates the optimal foundation for strong, healthy hair growth.

• Do you colour hair extensions?

  No, we do not apply colour directly to hair extensions. Extensions are made differently from natural hair and absorb colour unpredictably, which can vary by brand. Instead, any hair extensions applied at our salon will be expertly matched to your existing colour to ensure a seamless, natural look.

• What is freehand hair colour?

  Freehand colour technique is where the colour is applied by hand rather than using professional tools such as traditional foils. Freehand colour painting follows the shape of the face and is more natural-looking.

• How do I take care of my coloured hair and make it last longer?

  Beautiful hair colour starts in the salon, but it’s maintained at home. Following these steps will keep your colour fresh and prevent fading.

  1. Wait to Wash: Wait at least 48-72 hours after your appointment before shampooing. This gives the hair cuticle time to close and fully lock in the new colour.
  2. Use Professional Products: This is the most important rule. Always use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for colour-treated hair. Professional-grade products, which your stylist will recommend, won’t strip your colour like many high-street or supermarket options can.
  3. Turn Down the Temperature: Wash your hair with lukewarm or cool water. Hot water opens the hair cuticle, which is a fast track to colour fading.
  4. Use Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any hot tools (hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron). High heat is a major cause of colour fade and damage.
  5. Book a Toner: The secret to keeping your colour (especially blondes and reds) looking fresh between appointments is a toner service. This quick treatment neutralises brassiness, boosts shine, and seals the colour. We recommend booking one 4-6 weeks after your main colour appointment.
