How long does a colour last and how often will I need to recolour my hair?
On healthy hair and if your hair does not get much exposure to the sun, a permanent colour will last 6 - 12 months. However, as the hair grows from the roots, most clients after 2 - 3 months will want to recolour the roots so they match the rest of the hair.
A semi/temporary again depending on the condition of the hair or if the hair has previously been bleached will usually last a lot less e.g. 1 - 4 weeks.

Can I wash my hair before it is dyed? It is best not to wash the hair for at least 24-48 hours before it is coloured. This is because the scalp produces natural oils that protect the scalp during the colouring process. After your hair is dyed it is best to only wash it once or twice a week.

Do I need to use any special products after my hair is coloured?
It's recommended to use a shampoo and conditioner that says for coloured or chemically treated hair. These shampoos are free of Sodium Chloride and Sulphate. If you use products that contain Sodium Chloride or Sulphate the colour will fade more quickly and will look less vibrant.

Do hair dyes damage hair?
Hair dyes can be damaging if the product is left on the hair for an excessive amount of time or if it is applied to hair that has been sensitised e.g. through previous colours, perms or heat damage.

How long should I wait to colour my hair after a perm, permanent hair straightening or hair relaxing?

What are shoeshine bleached tips?
This is a highlighting technique that we use to apply the colour mainly to the ends of the hair and it works best on short hair. We first put bleach onto a long piece of foil and apply the bleach onto the hair with a sweeping motion similar to when polishing shoes. These types of highlights are also often referred to as frosted tips or blond tips.

Can I colour my hair if I use wax, mousse, gel or hairspray?
Wax, mousse, gel or hairspray can create a barrier and prevent the colour from penetrating into the hair. For this reason, we would ask if you could please wash your hair at least 24 hours before your hair appointment.

Are men's colours back in fashion?

I've been colouring my hair for many years, will I need to come to the salon for a skin allergy test Colours or Highlights require a skin test at least 48 hours before the appointment. Please note that we will not be able to do your highlights or colour without a skin allergy test. You will still need to come for a skin test even if you have had a skin test, colour or highlights at another salon.

I had an allergic reaction the last time I had a colour. Will it be safe to have a colour now?
All bands of colours contain very similar ingredients so there would be a very high risk of you having another allergic reaction and so we would not be able to do this service for you.

Is a hair colour suitable for all hair types?
We can only colour healthy hair. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer this treatment to men whose hair is very damaged. However, it is very rare for men with short to medium length hair to have damaged hair. If your hair is long e.g. down to your shoulders and you regularly colour your hair, then it's best to book a free consultation to make sure that we can go again ahead with the service.
