Refresh short hair with a bespoke colour gloss that restores depth, refines tone and adds high shine. This demi-permanent service deposits colour only, so it will not lighten or leave harsh regrowth. Ideal for soft grey blending, tonal tweaks between highlight appointments, or a first step into colour with minimal commitment.
More information
What's Included
Your colourist tailors every step to your hair and goals.
- Personal consultation to choose the right depth and tone.
- Custom-blended demi-permanent formula matched to your base shade and hair condition.
- Precision application for hair above the jawline, ensuring even saturation.
- Timed processing for consistent, glossy results.
- Cleanse and condition to seal the cuticle and boost softness.
- Professional blow-dry and finish to showcase your new tone.
Who It's For
Perfect if your hair is shorter than jaw length and you want to enhance shine, refine warmth or coolness, or deepen your shade without long-term commitment.
Great for first-time colour, soft grey blending, refreshing faded tones between highlights, or neutralising brass on previously coloured hair. Suitable for all genders and hair textures seeking low-maintenance, polished colour.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow 75 to 90 minutes for consultation, application, processing and a professional finish.
Booking for an event? Aim for 1 to 3 days before so the tone settles and your styling plan is set.
Aftercare & Maintenance
To keep your gloss fresh, wash less often and use a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. Rinse in cool to lukewarm water and always apply heat protection before styling.
Avoid clarifying shampoos and chlorine-heavy swims for the first week. Shield hair from strong sun to slow fading.
Plan top-ups every 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner if you shampoo daily. As this service is deposit-only, it fades softly with no harsh regrowth lines.
