More information

What’s Included

A tailored colour appointment designed for refined, natural results.

  • Personal consultation to map grey coverage, skin tone and placement.
  • Custom root tint to blend regrowth and cover greys from parting to nape.
  • Precision hairline highlights using micro foils or babylights along the face frame and parting for subtle lift.
  • Toner or gloss to refine shade, neutralise warmth and add shine.
  • Conditioning and bond care to support hair strength during colouring.
  • Professional blow-dry and finish to check tone and placement.
  • Home care guidance and a maintenance plan.

Who It’s For

Ideal if you want reliable grey coverage with understated brightness around the face. Suited to those who prefer a natural, polished look that grows out softly without harsh lines.

It works across blondes, brunettes and redheads. Depth and tone are adjusted to flatter your complexion and styling habits.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 3 hours 25 minutes for this service. Timing varies with hair density, greys and desired lift. If you would like a haircut as well, request it when booking so the correct time is reserved.

Plan root tints every 6 to 8 weeks. Refresh hairline highlights every 8 to 12 weeks, with a toner or gloss between visits if you like to keep the tone crisp. A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before your first colour or after a significant formula change.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner. Rinse in cool water, apply heat protector before styling and use a weekly nourishing mask.

Keep brassiness at bay with a suitable toning shampoo as advised at your appointment. Book a gloss between visits for extra shine. If you are considering a smoothing service, discuss the ideal order with your colourist so your shade stays true.

    Carlos did an amazing job with my hair color! I got baby highlights, and the result is absolutely top quality—so natural, soft, and beautifully blended. He really knows what he’s doing and pays close attention to detail. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Highly recommend Carlos if you’re looking for someone truly talented and professional!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hairline highlights and a full head of highlights?
Hairline highlights focus on the face frame and parting for subtle brightness where it shows most. A full head places foils throughout for a lighter overall result and higher maintenance.
Will a root tint cover resistant grey hair?
Yes. Your formula and processing time are tailored to your hair’s resistance to achieve thorough coverage. A targeted application ensures an even result from roots to regrowth line.
How often should I maintain this service?
Book root tints every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on regrowth. Refresh hairline highlights every 8 to 12 weeks, with an optional toner or gloss between visits to keep the tone refined.
Can I add a haircut or smoothing treatment to the same appointment?
You can add a haircut if time is reserved at booking. Smoothing can be paired with colour, but the sequence matters, so ask for guidance to protect your shade and finish.
Do I need a skin test before colour?
A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before your first colour or after a significant formula change. This helps ensure comfort and safety during your appointment.
