It is ideal if you want reliable grey coverage, a richer single shade, or a clean refresh of your current colour with a smooth, glossy finish. ## What a full head tint delivers A full head tint is tailored to your starting colour, desired result, and hair condition. The aim is even coverage and a predictable finish. - All-over colour for a uniform tone - Strong grey coverage where needed - A richer, deeper shade or a cleaner refresh of your existing colour - Improved shine and a more polished look - Professional finishing so the colour looks intentional and wearable ### Who it is best for A full head tint works well if you: - Want dependable grey coverage without highlights - Prefer a classic, low maintenance single shade - Are growing out old colour and need a more even base - Want to go darker or add depth for a more defined look - Need a tidy root to end refresh before an event or trip ### How the service works Your appointment starts with a consultation to confirm the target shade and the level of coverage you need. The colour is applied methodically for even saturation, then processed and rinsed before conditioning and finishing. Allow from 90 minutes, with extra time if you have very thick hair, long hair, or need additional steps to refine the result. ### Aftercare and keeping the colour looking good To help your colour stay glossy and true, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and limit frequent high heat styling. A root refresh schedule can be planned around your regrowth and how crisp you like your base colour. If your lengths fade between appointments, a toner or gloss can help revive shine and balance without committing to a full recolour every time.

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. - L Lily burman > I’m behond happy with my experience at the hair gallery, I came in for a cut and colour and it wasn’t a simple job whatsoever, also after not going to a hairdressers in over 3 years i was quite nervous letting someone else touch my hair but Ruby did so amazingly and i left feeling confident in my new hair! I cannot recommend the hair gallery enough! Everyone was very welcoming and it has a lovely atmosphere about it! Thank you so much ruby! xx - Lily Zhang > Would 100% recommend. First time dying my hair in Oxford so was a bit apprehensive at the start, but Sylvain was incredibly professional and passionate about his craft which was very reassuring. He was a keen listener and had great stylistic ideas. Additionally, everyone at the salon was warm and welcoming. The bleaching and colouring took an entire afternoon but it did not feel like it at all — really appreciated the staff asking whether I’d like a coffee or a tea and making an effort to improve customers’ experience. Am very happy with the colour and the end result. Would be very happy to come back. ## Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between a full head tint and highlights? A full head tint gives one all-over colour for a consistent result from roots to ends. Highlights place lighter pieces through the hair for dimension and contrast. If you want a uniform shade or solid grey coverage, a tint is usually the better fit. Will a full head tint cover grey hair? Yes, a full head tint is commonly used for grey coverage and can be adjusted for stubborn areas. The shade choice and formula are tailored to your hair type and the percentage of grey. Your colourist will talk you through the most natural-looking option. How long will the colour last? Permanent tint stays in the hair, but you will see regrowth at the roots as your hair grows. Many people refresh roots every 4 to 8 weeks depending on contrast and personal preference. Shine and tone through the lengths can be maintained with the right home care. Is a full head tint damaging? Any permanent colour is a chemical process, so hair condition matters. The service can be planned to minimise stress on the hair, and conditioning support can be used if your hair feels dry or fragile. If your hair is compromised, ask about repair options alongside colour. Can I go much lighter with a full head tint? A tint cannot usually lift previously coloured hair to a much lighter shade. If you are aiming for a significant lightening or a big colour change, you may need a different approach such as lightening services, then toning. A consultation helps map out the safest route.
