What's Included

A complete colour service designed for even, lasting results.

  • Personalised colour consultation and shade mapping.
  • Scalp and strand assessment.
  • Bespoke formula selection.
  • Full head application with neat sectioning for even saturation.

  • Professional cleanse and conditioner.

  • Tailored aftercare advice and maintenance plan.

Who It's For

Ideal if you want a single, even shade from roots to ends. Great for covering greys, refreshing faded colour, or going deeper or brighter within a similar level. Best for hair without complex banding or previous lightening lines. New colour clients are welcome.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 120 minutes for consultation, application, processing, and finish. Please arrive a few minutes early to discuss goals and hair history. A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before for new colour clients. If your hair is very long or dense, we may advise a little extra time.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner.
  • Wait 48 hours before the first wash.
  • Minimise heat and always use heat protection.
  • Book root regrowth or refresh every 4 to 8 weeks.
  • Apply a weekly strengthening mask to maintain condition.
  • Protect hair from sun, salt, and chlorine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cover resistant grey hair?
Yes. We assess your hair and adjust formula and timing for resistant greys. If needed, we pre-soften or double-apply to ensure coverage.
Is toner included with full head colour?
If your result needs refining, a gloss or toner is included. This perfects tone, adds shine, and balances warmth.
What if I have very long or thick hair?
We plan extra time and product for long or dense hair. Your stylist will confirm any adjustments during consultation so you know what to expect.
How long will the colour last?
Permanent colour grows out rather than washing out. Expect root regrowth at 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your hair and shade.
Can I lighten my hair in one session?
Full head colour can lift a few levels if your hair allows. For a major lift, we may recommend a lightening service first to protect condition.
