Colour Services

FOILS: This colouring technique is used to create a multitude of looks. Whether you want to go bright blonde, multi-tonal or just add some subtle shade differences, our team will be able to advise you and create your dream look.

Full head: This covers 100% of the head, and colours all re-growth.

Half head: This technique covers about 60% of the head, it incorporates colour into the sides, parting and crown. Our clients usually alternate half head and full head foils, as it is normally unnecessary to perform full head foils every time.

T-Section: This sectioning technique is great for when you are lacking time or just need a slight touch-up. It Incorporates hair from the sides and parting to give the illusion of having had full head highlights.

Full Head Tint: This colouring process is applied onto the scalp, mid-lengths and ends to create a glossy all over colour.

Root Tint: This process is applied to the roots only, this colours re-growth and by applying it only to the roots stops the risk of over processing or damaging the hair.

Semi Permanent Colour: This colouring process is applied to wet hair, this highly conditioning colour treatment normally lasts in the hair for 8-10 washes. This service is not suitable for white hair.

As well as protecting the inner layers of the hair, water is allowed into the hair via the cuticle. The shiny lustre of your hair is often due to your hair cuticles.
