How do I know which colouring technique is right for me?

During your free consultation, we analyze your hair type, maintenance preferences, and skin tone. If you want a natural, "lived-in" look, we may suggest Balayage. For high-impact brightness from the root, Highlights are often best.

What is the difference between Highlights and Balayage?

Highlights usually use foils from the root for a structured look, while Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a softer, natural-looking graduation of color. We specialize in both and will recommend the best technique for your hair type.

Do you offer ammonia-free or organic hair colouring?

Yes! We prioritize hair health and offer high-quality, professional colouring options that are gentle on the hair and scalp while providing 100% grey coverage and vibrant, long-lasting shine.

Does colouring my hair frequently cause damage?

We use advanced professional products designed to protect the hair fiber. By following our aftercare advice and using the right treatments (like professional bond-builders), we maintain your hair's strength and shine.

What is "Colour Correction" and do I need it?

Colour correction is necessary if you have uneven tones, unwanted brassiness, or are looking to transition from a very dark to a very light shade safely. It is a specialist process that requires the high-level London training our team possesses.

How often should I visit the salon to maintain my colour?

This varies. Root tints usually require a 4–6 week touch-up, while Balayage clients can often go 3–4 months. We will provide a personalized maintenance schedule during your visit.

Can you fix a "box dye" or a bad colour from another salon?

Yes, we are specialists in colour correction. We recommend a free consultation first so we can assess the condition of your hair and plan the safest journey to your desired shade.

Do I need a skin patch test before my appointment?

If you think you may have skin issues, then yes. Your safety is our priority. We can make a simple patch test at least 48 hours before your first colouring appointment to ensure you have no sensitivities to our professional products.

Can I go from very dark hair to platinum blonde in one session?

This depends on your hair's history and condition. We always prioritize hair integrity; sometimes a dramatic change requires two sessions to ensure your hair remains healthy and doesn't break.
