What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your comfort and satisfaction are our priority. Here’s what a typical colour appointment includes:
- In-Depth Consultation
We begin every appointment with a personalised consultation. We’ll assess your hair condition, talk about your desired result, and recommend the most suitable service.
- Patch Testing (for New Colour Clients)
Safety first! If you’ve never coloured your hair with us before or it’s been over 6 months, we require a patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
- Colour Selection & Application
Based on your skin tone, natural hair colour, and lifestyle, we’ll select the perfect shade and technique. Then, we apply the colour with precision to ensure even coverage and consistent results.
- Processing Time
While your colour develops, enjoy a coffee, tea, or simply relax in our welcoming environment. Timing depends on the service but ranges from 30 to 60 minutes.
- Rinse, Wash & Treatment
After your colour is ready, we use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. We often recommend a bonding treatment (like Olaplex) to maintain hair strength and vibrancy.
- Blow-Dry & Style Finish
We finish with a professional blow-dry and style so you leave the salon looking your best.
How to Prepare for Your Colour Appointment
Follow these tips to get the most from your colour service:
- Schedule a patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment.
- Arrive with clean, dry hair unless otherwise advised.
- Bring inspiration photos so we understand your vision clearly.
- Disclose past hair treatments (including box dye, bleaching, keratin, or perms).
- Avoid heavy conditioners or oils the day before colouring to help colour penetrate better.
- Plan your schedule: Depending on the service, you may be in the salon for 1.5 to 3 hours.
Aftercare Tips for Long-Lasting Colour
Your aftercare routine is key to preserving your colour and hair health. Here are our expert recommendations:
- Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to extend colour life.
- Wash hair less frequently (2-3 times a week is ideal).
- Use cool water when rinsing to help the colour seal in.
- Apply heat protectant before blow-drying or using heat tools.
- Schedule regular toner or gloss appointments to refresh your tone.
