With hair colouring services evolving, it's no longer a one size fits all, "partial highlight, full highlight" world. A partial custom colour has many options, from partial highlights to partial balayage, lived-in colour, and fashion colours. The "partial" stands for half of the head. You get a big pop of colour, but there's still lots of dimension.

Balayage is when you hand paint the hair. It creates a very soft, natural colour. It can achieve a sun-kissed look, brighten up your ends, or create bold pops of colour. Balayage can also be done with the use of foils. It's not a one size fits all service and each colour is created uniquely for the guest.

Lived-in colour is perfect for friends wanting to space out their visits to the salon. A lived-in colour is low maitence and soft. It's the gift that keeps on giving, as when the colour fades and grows out it still looks great. This service gives you plenty of options for when and what you decide to do while "touching up." Once you have the lived-in base started, you can pop in for money piece refreshes or glosses whenever you're feeling like a change, saving the big colour for whenever you see fit.

When choosing to do a permanent vivid colour, gone are the days of pushing back your shampoos and washing in cold water. This colour line is made to stay. It's a great option for friends who love vivids and don't want to change it every month or two. This colour lasts for months, even years. It's a commitment in that it usually requires pre-lightening, and once you have it it's very tricky to get out.

Going grey is definitely a process for both stylist and guest but mostly guest as they're the ones likely already attempting to grow out their natural colour. If you decide you want to speed up the process, there are many ways I can help. One way is to gradually highlight and tone. Another way is to do it in a full day appointment. I match your natural grey pattern while highlighting and lowlighting the coloured areas. These still sometimes take a few sessions and regular toning is recommended.

Pairs well with a hairline detail for a perfect ponytail!
