Frequently Asked Questions
How long does salon hair colour last?
The longevity of salon colour depends on the type of dye used, your hair type, aftercare routine and how often you wash your hair. Permanent colour usually lasts around 6 to 8 weeks before regrowth becomes noticeable. Semi-permanent colours fade more gradually over 4 to 6 weeks. Using colour-safe shampoos, reducing heat styling and spacing out washes can all help extend the life of your colour.
Is it safe to colour damaged or bleached hair?
Colouring damaged hair can be risky if not done correctly. It’s important to assess the health of your hair before applying any colour, especially if it’s been previously bleached or chemically treated. A qualified colourist will often recommend bond-building treatments, deep conditioning or gradual colour changes to avoid further breakage. In some cases, you may need a few restorative appointments before attempting a major transformation.
What’s the difference between balayage and foils?
Foils involve sectioning and wrapping hair in sheets to achieve even, consistent highlights from root to tip. Balayage is a freehand technique where colour is painted onto the hair to create a more natural, sun-kissed look that usually blends into the roots. Balayage tends to require less upkeep than foils, though both can be customised depending on the final result you're after.
Tailored Techniques
Custom Colour, Your Way
No two colour jobs are the same, which is why a professional touch matters. Our colour services include everything from semi and permanent colour to scalp lightening, melts, toners, foils, ombre and balayage. Whether you’re going lighter, darker or just aiming to add depth and shine, every treatment begins with a consultation to understand your vision and work with the current condition of your hair.
We take into account your maintenance needs, growth patterns and natural tones to make sure your colour not only looks good when you leave, but continues to wear well in the weeks ahead. If it’s been a while since your last colour or you're trying something new, we’ll guide you through the best options to achieve the results you want without compromising the health of your hair.
