Who It's For
Ideal for guests wanting natural brightness and low-maintenance grow-out. Great for first-time colour, blending early greys, refreshing faded highlights, or adding dimension to curly and straight hair. If you want full coverage colour or a high-contrast platinum look, we will recommend a different service.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow 165-180 minutes for this service, including consultation, processing and finish. Thick or long hair, colour build-up, or corrective work may need extra time. Please arrive with dry, product-light hair. If your colour history is complex, book a consultation first.

- Use sulphate-free shampoo and colour-care conditioner.
- Apply heat protectant and limit hot tools.
- Use a purple or blue shampoo weekly if brassiness appears.
- Mask weekly to maintain moisture and shine.
- Book a toner or gloss every 6-8 weeks.
- Plan a balayage refresh every 12-16 weeks, or when you want more lift.
