You will start with a consultation to discuss your inspiration, your current colour and what is realistic for your hair. We will agree a tailored plan, timing and maintenance level before we begin. Your appointment finishes with a polished result and clear aftercare guidance. How do I know which colour direction will suit me? We will consider your skin tone, natural base and how you like to wear your hair day to day. The aim is a shade that looks refined in all lighting and grows out in a flattering way. You will be guided towards options that suit both your style and your maintenance preferences. Can colouring help if my hair has gone wrong elsewhere? Yes, colouring can be used to rebalance tone, soften harsh lines and improve overall harmony. The key is an honest assessment of what can be achieved in one visit versus a staged approach. Protecting hair condition is prioritised throughout the plan. How long will my colour last and how often should I return? Longevity depends on your starting point, the level of change, and how you care for your hair at home. Most clients benefit from a regular refresh schedule to keep tone clean and regrowth looking intentional. We will recommend a plan that suits your diary and budget. How should I care for my hair after a colouring appointment? Use colour-safe products, keep heat styling controlled, and protect hair from sun and chlorine where possible. Book trims as needed so ends stay healthy and the colour looks expensive. If your tone shifts between visits, we can advise on simple ways to keep it looking fresh.
