Your shade is tailored to your skin tone and lifestyle, whether you want seamless grey coverage, a richer hue or a refined tonal shift. Expect glossy, even results that look polished straight away and stay wearable between visits. ## What's Included Every appointment is planned around your hair goals and the condition of your hair. - Personal colour consultation and shade mapping. - Root to tip tint application for even saturation. - Grey coverage or tonal change matched to your brief. - Protective care during processing to respect hair health. - Thorough rinse, condition and shine-boost finish. - Styling advice and a tailored at-home care plan. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want uniform tone, dependable grey coverage or to deepen or soften your natural shade with minimal fuss. A strong choice when you prefer a polished, wearable look that still feels natural. Well suited to busy diaries and first-time colour clients. It also sets a clean base if you plan to introduce highlights or a money piece later. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Application and processing typically take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on hair density and the desired result. If you are adding a blow-dry or cut, please allow extra time to finish your look. A skin test is required at least 48 hours before your first tint, or if it has been more than six months since your last. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, and wash less often to preserve vibrancy. Rinse with lukewarm water and always use heat protection before styling. Shield hair from UV and chlorine to reduce fade. A weekly hydrating mask will support softness and shine. Plan root maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks for permanent colour, or 6 to 8 weeks for demi-permanent. A gloss top-up between visits can refresh tone and add shine without commitment.

A full head tint is applied root to tip for one consistent shade. Highlights lighten selected strands for dimension. Choose a tint for solid coverage or a shade change; choose highlights for multi-tonal lift. Will a full head tint cover my grey hair? Yes. Permanent tint gives thorough grey coverage, and we can adjust the formula for softer, more natural blending if preferred. The result is smooth coverage with shine. How long will the colour last and when should I rebook? Expect 4 to 8 weeks, depending on hair type, washing routine and sun exposure. Regrowth is usually noticeable from 3 to 6 weeks. Plan a retouch every 4 to 6 weeks for permanent, or 6 to 8 weeks for demi-permanent. Do I need a skin test before my tint? Yes. A skin test is required at least 48 hours before your first tint, or if it has been over six months or your health has changed. It is quick and ensures comfort and safety. Can a full head tint lighten my hair? Permanent tint can lighten natural hair slightly. It cannot lift previously dyed hair, which may need a different lightening or colour-correction approach. We will advise the best plan for your goal.
