What is the difference between a cut and blowdry and a restyle?

What is a semi-permanent root melt?

A semi-permanent root melt deposits colour without lifting, making it ideal for blending greys, refreshing tone, or extending time between full colour appointments. Prices start from £40.

How often should I get my roots done?

What is the difference between balayage and highlights?

Highlights use foils to create a more uniform, all-over lightening effect. Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a softer, sun-kissed, more graduated result. Balayage typically looks more natural and grows out more gracefully.

How long does balayage take?

A balayage appointment typically takes between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on hair length, thickness, and the lightening process required. We recommend allowing extra time for a toner and blowdry finish.

How often do I need to get balayage redone?

Most clients refresh their balayage every 3-6 months, often booking a toner appointment in between to keep the tone vibrant. Balayage is designed to grow out beautifully.

What is a scalp bleach and do I need one?

A scalp bleach applies lightener directly to the root area for a high-contrast blonde result. It's typically needed for clients who want very light, bright blonde at the root. Virgin hair scalp bleach starts from £155.

Tape extensions typically last 6-8 weeks before they need to be repositioned. With proper care and the right aftercare products, the hair can be reused multiple times.
