Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I refresh my hair colour?

    Most colour services last six to eight weeks before a refresh is needed, depending on the technique and tone. Balayage or foilayage can be maintained less frequently, while all-over tints or regrowth colours benefit from more regular visits to keep them looking seamless.

  • What’s the best way to keep my colour vibrant?

    Using salon-quality, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner is key. Limit heat styling, rinse with cooler water, and protect your hair from UV exposure. A toner or gloss refresh between visits also helps extend the life and shine of your colour.

  • Will colouring damage my hair?

    When applied by professional colourists using quality products, colouring shouldn’t damage your hair. Treatments like gloss toners and conditioning masks help maintain strength and shine, keeping your colour looking healthy and hydrated.
