A full head colour refines your base and provides reliable grey coverage, while precisely placed highlights add lift, dimension and a soft, natural finish that grows out beautifully. ## What's Included A tailored colour service designed for coverage, brightness and blend. - Personal consultation to discuss goals, colour history and lifestyle. - Full head permanent or demi colour to cover greys, refine tone or add depth. - Precision highlights through the head and face frame for lift and dimension. - Toner or gloss to perfect shade, neutralise warmth and boost shine. - Gentle cleanse and conditioning care for coloured hair. - Professional blow-dry and finish to reveal your result. - Aftercare guidance and a maintenance plan. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want natural-looking grey coverage without a flat, block colour. Great for brunettes seeking brightness with a soft regrowth and for blondes who want cleaner, lighter ribbons with a refined base. Also suits a busy routine. You want hair that looks polished for work or weekends, styles easily, and grows out softly between appointments. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on hair length, density and the level of lift desired. Longer or thicker hair, or larger colour changes, may need extra time. A consultation at the start sets your plan and shade. If you have previous colour build-up or want to go significantly lighter, a phased approach may be recommended to protect your hair and achieve an even result. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. Apply heat protection before styling and treat weekly with a hydrating mask to maintain softness and shine. If your highlights are light, use a purple or blue shampoo as advised to keep brassiness at bay. Rinse after swimming and keep heat to moderate settings. For upkeep, refresh roots every 6 to 8 weeks and top up highlights every 10 to 12 weeks. Add a toner or gloss between visits to maintain a clean, glossy tone.

The full head colour provides reliable grey coverage or soft blending, and the highlights add dimension so the result never looks flat. Shades are chosen to suit your skin tone and lifestyle. Do I need a skin test before colour? A skin test may be required for new colour clients to ensure safety. You will be advised when booking and it will be arranged in good time before your appointment. How long will the appointment take and how often should I maintain it? Most appointments take around 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on hair length and goals. Plan root refresh at 6 to 8 weeks, highlights at 10 to 12 weeks, with a toner in between to keep the finish fresh. Will it damage my hair? Careful application and controlled processing are used to maintain hair health, with bond care when needed. Follow recommended home care and heat protection to keep your colour glossy and your hair strong. Can I go lighter in one visit? It depends on your starting shade and hair condition. Subtle lightness is often achievable in one session, but bigger lifts or previous dark colour may need a phased plan to protect the hair and achieve an even result.
