BALAYAGE
This is Parisian technique which means " to sweep"
It is applied using a freehand method. Resulting in a graduated colour effect from root to tip. For most, the look of Balayage often appears more natural or warmer (softer) on first time applications. You can achieve cooler and lighter effects after a number or appointments.
FULL HEAD: Applied throughout the whole head. I would recommend this once or twice a year in combination with half and top up services. Full head is recommended for your first visit with me.
HALF HEAD: Applied throughout the parting/ hairline and around the crown. I would recommend this once or twice a year in combination with full and top up services.
PARTIAL (TOP UP): Applied around your hairline and contour. An express service to brighten and freshen up your existing Balayage. I would recommend this once or twice a year in combination with full and half head services.
FOIL HIGHLIGHTS
This is a traditional colouring method where strands of hair are weaved, lightened and covered in foil. This gives the lightest and brightest lift. The effect is multi-tonal with high definition pieces.
Foils can be used in combination with Balayage to gain a varied end result.
FULL HEAD: Applied throughout the whole head. I would recommend this once or twice a year in combination with half and top up services. Full head is recommended for your first visit with me.
HALF HEAD: Applied throughout the parting/ hairline and around the crown. I would recommend this once or twice a year in combination with full and top up services
PARTIAL (TOP UP): Applied around your hairline and contour. An express service to brighten and freshen up your existing Highlights. I would recommend this once or twice a year in combination with full and half head services.

LENGTH BRIGHTENING (TIPPING)
Pieces of hair are lightened in between your Balayage or foil application. For those looking for maximum brightness on their ends. This will be added onto your full or half head service. Perfect if you have not had Balayage before or if you are looking to brighten your ends and maximize your existing blonde.
PERSONALISED COLOUR
A Permanent or semi permanent colour that can be personalised to make your hair darker, lighter, warmer or cooler. It is also great for covering or blending natural white or grey hair.
COMBINATION ROOTS: When applied in combination with highlights or Balayage
GLOBAL COLOUR: Application is applied on the roots and the ends of the hair, resulting in more coverage.
REGROWTH BLEND: Top up colour which only covers your regrowth. Regrowth should be 4-8 weeks long
PRE LIGHTNER ROOT
This is the boldest of Blonde applications.
Pre lightner covers every strand of hair resulting in full coverage of Blonde. This is high maintenance and must be reapplied every 4-8 weeks to ensure even results. Hair is glossed and glazed with a toner to compliment your skin tone. This service is for those that have already had the transformation colour and looking to top up their roots. All transformations are priced on quotation. Book in a complimentary consultation.
CREATIVE TONER
This is an add on service for after your Balalyage, Highlights or Pre lightner root. A totally Bespoke shade can be applied on lightened hair to achieve a play with colour pastel result. My personal favourites are Dusty Rose or Delicate Coral.
