Who It's For
This service suits anyone with previously coloured hair who wants roots refreshed without changing their overall shade. It is ideal for consistent grey coverage, keeping a natural or polished look, and for clients who prefer low-maintenance colour that still looks refined. Suitable for all hair types, textures and lengths.
If your regrowth exceeds about 3 cm, you are new to permanent colour, or you want a significant shade change, we will recommend the most suitable alternative, such as an all-over colour refresh or a colour correction plan.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow around 105 minutes for consultation, application, processing and finish. Timing can vary slightly with hair density, texture and the amount of regrowth.
For best results, book every 4 to 8 weeks to keep your root area blended and your tone consistent. New colour clients require a skin test at least 48 hours before the appointment.
Aftercare & Maintenance
To preserve vibrancy, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, rinse with lukewarm water, and apply heat protector before styling. Limit clarifying shampoos and protect hair from sun and chlorine.
Maintain your result with regular root retouches every 4 to 8 weeks. In between, a gloss or toner can refine tone and add shine, and strengthening treatments help keep coloured hair smooth and resilient.
