More information

Great colour should suit your skin tone, your routine and your hair’s condition. In our colouring category we begin with a proper consultation, then create a plan for depth, warmth and overall balance so your result looks fresh now and grows out neatly. We work carefully, keep comfort in mind, and share simple aftercare and maintenance guidance so you know what to do at home and when to rebook. For some colour appointments we will ask you to pop in for a quick patch test beforehand. You can book online when it suits you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect when I book a colouring appointment?
You will start with a consultation about your hair history, your goal and how much upkeep you want. We will agree a plan that prioritises condition and a polished finish. Before you leave, you will get straightforward guidance on how to look after your colour at home.
How do you choose the right colour result for me?
We consider your natural base, previous colour, skin tone and how you like to wear your hair day to day. We will talk through what is realistic in one visit and what will suit your maintenance schedule. The aim is colour that looks intentional, not fussy.
How long does a colouring appointment usually take?
Timing varies depending on your starting point, the look you want and how much prep is needed to keep hair in good condition. We will confirm the best appointment length when you book or during your consultation. If you are unsure, choose a consultation first so we can plan properly.
How do I look after my colour between visits?
Use gentle products, avoid excessive heat, and protect your hair when styling to help your colour stay glossy and even. Try to space out heavy washing and use cooler water where you can. We will tailor advice to your hair type and how often you wash and style.
Do I need a patch test for colouring?
For some colour appointments, yes, a patch test is required, especially if you are new to us or have not had colour for a while. It is a simple step that helps keep things safe and comfortable. Let us know about any sensitivities, allergies, or changes to your health so we can advise you properly.
