Great question - and this is where Vish comes in.

We use a smart salon scale called Vish that precisely tracks the amount of colour we mix for your hair. If the result you're after requires more product than the standard base mix. In that case, we'll add a small additional charge to cover the extra product used; nothing more, nothing less. It's fully customised to your hair and your goals, and you'll always know exactly what you're paying for.

The extra colour charge covers any product needed beyond our standard base mix to achieve your desired result. Using our Vish system, we measure everything precisely and record your unique formula, ensuring consistency with every visit. You're not paying for guesses; you're getting exactly what your hair needs for the outcome you want, with complete transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nope - that’s a myth that needs to go straight in the bin. Excess product buildup, or natural oils can actually prevent our ammonia-free colour from working effectively. And let’s be honest, arriving with sweaty, post-gym hair is a hygiene no-go for your colourist.

How to Prep for Your Colour Appointment:
✔ Arrive with clean, dry hair (washed within 24 hours).
✔ Avoid root concealers, heavy styling products or excessive oils.
✔ Bring inspiration photos to help communicate your vision.
✔ Planning a big change? Book a consultation first!

Honestly? Naming our packages was harder than perfecting the art of blending. You might need highlights, balayage, a mix of both, or a handful of other techniques we have up our sleeves. That’s why all our highlight and balayage packages are fully customised to you.

The easiest way to decide? Forget about all the confusing technique names Instagram tells you to know - just think about where you want to see the colour. Do you want brightness around your hairline, a sun-kissed lift through your parting, blended lightness on the top half, or bold, all-over impact throughout your full head?

If you're still unsure, book a consultation, and let’s chat.

Absolutely! Techniques like grey blending, root smudging, and strategic highlights can create a softer, more natural transition, making the grow-out process seamless.

Book a Colour Transformation Consultation to discuss how quickly you want to transition, the best colour options for your skin tone, and expert tips for maintaining optimal hair health throughout the process.

Book a Colour Transformation Consultation first - going blonde isn’t a one-size-fits-all process.

Depending on your starting point and desired result, achieving your perfect blonde may take multiple sessions. A consultation ensures we have the time and plan to get you there while keeping your hair in its best condition.
