Refresh regrowth and revive faded ends in one appointment. This short hair colour service pairs precise root coverage with a conditioning gloss through the lengths. Expect seamless blend at the roots, renewed tone and shine through the ends, and a soft, healthy feel that looks effortless.

## What's Included

Everything you need for seamless colour on short hair.

-   Consultation to confirm shade, coverage goals and tone.
-   Precision root application to target regrowth and grey.
-   Conditioning colour gloss through short lengths and ends to refresh tone and add shine.
-   Controlled processing and careful rinse to protect hair condition.
-   Conditioning, cuticle-sealing finish for softness and longevity.
-   Blow-dry and style to showcase the colour result.
-   Personalised aftercare advice and a simple maintenance plan.

### Who It's For

Ideal if you want dependable root coverage and your ends look dull rather than needing a full recolour. Best for hair that sits above the jawline and for anyone seeking a natural, low maintenance result or a crisp, high-shine finish.

Suitable across brunettes, blondes, coppers and fashion tones. A great choice for maintaining your colour between bigger changes and for all genders and styles.

### Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 120 minutes for consultation, application, processing, rinse and finish. Timing can vary slightly based on hair density and the amount of regrowth.

If you are unsure whether your length counts as short, book and we will advise at the start of your appointment so the service is correctly timed.

### Aftercare & Maintenance

Wait 24 to 48 hours before your first wash to help the colour settle. Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus heat protection when styling.

Book root maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on growth. Refresh the gloss every 6 to 8 weeks or at each visit to keep tone, softness and shine at their best.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cover grey regrowth?

Yes. The root area is coloured to blend regrowth and cover grey in line with your goals. Your stylist will select a formula that gives natural-looking, reliable coverage.

What does a gloss do on short hair?

A gloss refreshes tone, boosts shine and smoothness, and helps the hair feel soft after colouring. It will not significantly lighten hair but enhances the overall finish.

How long will the results last?

Root coverage typically looks best for 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth. Gloss longevity varies by hair type and care, usually around 3 to 6 weeks.

Is this suitable if my hair is below the jawline?

If your hair sits at or below the jawline, extra time and product may be needed to treat the lengths. We will advise on the appropriate service at booking.

How should I prepare for the appointment?

Arrive with dry hair free from heavy oils or product build-up. Bring reference photos of your ideal shade so we can match tone and set clear expectations.
