Colouring

From root tints and grey blending to glosses and full transformations, we formulate to your undertone, lifestyle and maintenance goals. Expect bond-building where needed, precise sectioning, and toners that refine rather than mask. We protect scalp and strands, then finish with a cut or blow dry that shows off your new tone. Consistent, shiny colour that looks expensive even weeks later.
