My hair was in a bad state. Colour awful and falling out in clumps. Matt was so kind and helpful. After nearly a year with the salon The colour is now amazing and thru the suggestions of product its re growth is fantastic. I have honestly never been so happy with my hair. I simply love nashi product as well. Cannot recommend highly enough. All colourists there are fab.” — Tania Kane ![Wavy copper-red hair with orange highlights on woman in profile wearing black salon cape](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fcopper-red-wavy-hair-profile.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768409203828&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3) ![Vibrant layered red hair with soft waves against weathered yellow-brown brick wall](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fred-layered-hair-brick-wall.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768409205998&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3)![Straight mid-back burgundy hair on person wearing black cape in salon](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fburgundy-straight-hair-salon-backview.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768409203452&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3) - ![Vibrant layered red hair with soft waves against weathered yellow-brown brick wall](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fred-layered-hair-brick-wall.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768409205998&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3)![Vibrant layered red hair with soft waves against weathered yellow-brown brick wall](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fred-layered-hair-brick-wall.jpeg%3Fv%3D1768409205998&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_6JjKmAYf1w2PEXSZVthhXWFZQBb3) ## Root Tint 105 mins Root retouch for previously coloured hair, delivering consistent tone and reliable grey coverage.

Your visit starts with a personalised consultation to understand your goals, hair history and maintenance level. We create a tailored colour plan, apply with precision, and finish with clear aftercare and a maintenance schedule. Who are these colouring services best suited for? Anyone seeking grey coverage, a tonal refresh, added dimension or a bold change. Suitable for all hair types and textures, with looks that range from natural and low maintenance to fashion-led. How do you choose the right shade for me? We consider skin tone, eye colour, natural base, hair condition and lifestyle. The aim is a flattering result that complements your features, suits your routine and grows out gracefully. How long will my colour last and when should I return? Longevity depends on your shade, hair condition and homecare. As a guide, many clients refresh roots around 4–8 weeks and overall tone and shine every 6–12 weeks. We confirm timings in your plan. How should I care for coloured hair at home? Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, wash less often and rinse with lukewarm water. Protect from heat and UV, and follow the maintenance routine recommended in your consultation.
