COLOUR & CUTTING FAQS
Do I need a patch test before my colour appointment?
Yes, a patch test is essential before any colour appointment. This test helps to determine if you have any sensitivities or allergies to the hair colour products that will be used. I will always ensure that a recent patch test is conducted to provide you with peace of mind before commencing any colouring services.
How long does hair colouring take?
The duration of a hair colouring appointment can vary depending on the type of service being performed. Typically, a full colour application can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe includes the consultation, application, and processing time. I will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process and keep you informed about the expected timeline.
Can I colour my hair if it's already damaged or previously coloured?
Yes, you can colour your hair even if it is damaged or has been previously coloured, but special care is needed. I use gentle, high-quality products that are suitable for fragile hair, and I can assess your hair's condition during our consultation. Depending on the extent of the damage, I may recommend specific treatments before proceeding with a colour service to ensure the best possible outcome.
What's the difference between balayage, ombré, and highlights?
These three techniques are popular for adding colour and dimension to hair, but they differ in application and result:
- Balayage: This is a freehand technique where colour is hand-painted onto the hair, creating a natural, sun-kissed effect. It typically has a softer transition and requires less maintenance as it grows out.
- Ombré: Ombré involves a gradient effect where the hair is darker at the roots and gradually lighter towards the ends. This technique creates a more dramatic contrast compared to balayage.
- Highlights: Highlights involve the application of lighter colour to specific sections of hair, which adds brightness and dimension. These can be more uniform and are usually done with foils for a more controlled application.
How long will my hair colour last?
The longevity of your hair colour depends on various factors, including the type of colour used, your hair's condition, and how well you care for it post-appointment. Generally, professional hair colour can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks before it starts to fade. To prolong your colour, I recommend using sulphate-free shampoos, minimising heat styling, and scheduling regular touch-ups to maintain vibrancy.
