Who It's For

Ideal for anyone seeking vivid, pastel or multi-tone colour with impact. Suitable for all textures and lengths. Darker starting levels may require pre-lightening; we assess and adapt safely.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 105 minutes for a single shade service. Multi-tone looks or required pre-lightening may take longer. Arrive with clean, dry hair and no heavy products. Bring inspiration images to your consultation.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and cool water.
  • Wash less often; dry shampoo helps extend vibrancy.

  • Avoid chlorine and long sun exposure; use UV protection.
  • Refresh colours every 4–6 weeks, or as advised.
  • Book root lightening when regrowth shows, if applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my hair need bleaching first?
Often, yes for darker or previously coloured hair. We assess your starting level and only lighten if it is safe for your hair. If lightening is not suitable, we recommend shades that work on your base.
How long do crazy colours last?
Most vivid shades fade within 2–6 weeks, depending on shade depth, porosity and care. Using colour-safe products, cool water and minimal heat helps maintain vibrancy for longer.
Is a blow-dry included?
Yes. We finish with a professional blow-dry so you can see the true tone and shine, and we make any final tweaks before you leave.
Can I have multiple colours?
Yes, we can place or blend multiple shades for impact. Complex looks may need extra time, which we will discuss during your consultation.
How should I prepare beforehand?
Arrive with clean, dry hair and no heavy oils or product build-up. Bring inspiration images and be ready to discuss maintenance preferences to tailor your plan.
