This service pairs a precise root retouch with a tailored gloss through mid-lengths and ends to rebalance tone, add shine and keep long hair feeling healthy. Expect an even shade from scalp to tips with a soft, natural finish. ## What's Included A targeted colour service designed for long hair. - Personal colour consultation to confirm shade goals and upkeep preferences. - Root retouch applied to new growth for a seamless blend and reliable grey coverage. - Custom gloss worked through mid-lengths and ends to refresh tone and boost shine. - Conditioning care and pH-balancing rinse to protect hair and seal colour. - Blow-dry and finish so you leave with a polished, even result. ### Who It's For If you see regrowth at the parting or hairline and your ends look dull, warm or faded, this service is for you. It maintains an even base while refreshing tone through the lengths without over-processing. It suits natural, low-maintenance looks as well as bolder colour palettes. Ideal between full colour changes, and for anyone with hair at or beyond shoulder length who wants a healthy, glossy finish. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 2 hours for consultation, application, processing and finishing. Very long or dense hair may need a little extra time for full saturation and a precise result. Arrive with dry, detangled hair and avoid heavy oils on the day. This helps colour take evenly and keeps timing on track. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. Limit heat, always apply heat protection, and consider a weekly hydrating mask to maintain shine. Plan root maintenance every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on regrowth, with a gloss refresh every 6 to 8 weeks to keep tone refined. Protect colour from sun and chlorine where possible, and rinse hair after swimming.

The root retouch uses permanent colour for dependable grey coverage and a seamless blend at the parting and hairline. The gloss then refreshes the lengths for tone and shine without extra lift. How long will the results last? Root coverage typically lasts 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. The gloss on the lengths usually holds 4 to 6 weeks, influenced by washing, heat styling and sun exposure. Is this suitable if I have highlights or balayage? Yes. The roots can be matched to your base shade, while the gloss refines tone on highlighted lengths and keeps dimension intact. We avoid over-darkening to preserve contrast. What is the difference between a gloss and permanent colour? Permanent colour changes the root regrowth and provides grey coverage. A gloss is a demi‑permanent refresh for mid-lengths and ends that enhances tone and shine without adding lightness. How should I prepare and care for my hair? Arrive with dry, detangled hair and avoid heavy oils on the day. After your visit, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, apply heat protection, and book roots every 4 to 8 weeks with gloss top-ups as advised.
