Colouring |
|
There are many different products and
methods of applying colour to the hair, all of which will
suit different hair types, so a full consultation will be
carried out prior to any colour service, at which point a
skin test will need to be carried out, and this will need
to be done at least 48 hours prior to the colour service.
(See
skin test info for details) |

|
|
At the consultation stage a deposit of £20
will be required to confirm the booking. |

Products |
|
Semi-Permanent Colour:
This product contains no peroxide, so
therefore does not enter the cuticle. It only coats the
hair with colour, so it will only last for approximately 6
washes. As it contains no peroxide it is unable to lighten
the hair it can only darken or change the tone. This
product is most suited as: an introduction to colour, to
restore shine, and to change the tone. |
|
|
|
Quasi-Permanent Colour:
This product is mixed with a very small
amount of peroxide, thus will open the cuticle slightly to
deposit colour. Because it contains peroxide it will last
longer than a semi but not be as strong as a permanent.
You can also lighten, darken or change the tone with this
product, and will last up to 12 weeks. |
|
|
|
Permanent Colour:
This product is mixed with a large amount
of peroxide so will open the cuticle fully, and allowing
the colour to enter and expand. This product will not wash
out, it will need to be grown or cut out, so therefore you
will get root re growth and will need maintaining. The can
lighten, darken and change the tone of your hair with this
product. |
|
|
|
Bleach:
This product is mixed with peroxide and so
opens the cuticle, but unlike the other products, it does
not deposit colour, it will extract the colour pigment in
the hair, and therefore making it blonde or white
depending on the length of time left on the hair. This is
a permanent product so therefore will be grown or cut out
and will need maintaining. |

Methods |
|
Woven:
This method is used with permanent colour,
it involves weaving the hair, leaving a section and the
other section is placed into a foil packet, and coloured,
it gives the effect of multi coloured tones. This method
is best used on longer hair, and if more than one colour
is required. |
|
|
|
Capped:
This method is used on shorter hair. It
involves placing a rubber cap over the head and pulling
strand of hair through the holes. The hair that is pulled
through is then coloured. |
|
|
|
Full
Head:
This method is for all over head
application. It involves parting the hair in a cross and
taking small sections at a time and colouring it, which
allows every strand to be covered. |
|
|
|
Half
Head:
This
involves the same method as the full head but leaving half
of the hair out, which will give a bulk two colour effect. |
|
|
|
T-Section:
This tends to be used with woven or capped
methods, which enable the client to only have the hair
coloured along the parting and either side. |
|
|
|
Root
Re-growth:
This method is used when applying colour to
the root area only. It is the same method as in the full
head method, but is only applied to the root area. |
