Why blonde needs a specialist

How a blonde appointment works

  1. Colour consultation

    We review inspiration photos, your skin tone and your hair's colour history in English.
  2. Strand & scalp check

    We test how your hair lifts and check the scalp before any chemical.
  3. Protective prep

    Bond-protecting and scalp-shield products go on before colour or bleach.
  4. Application

    Colour, foils or hand-painting applied section by section.
  5. Toning & gloss

    Toner refines the shade and adds shine.
  6. Wash, care & finish

    A colour-care rinse and a blow-dry to show the true result.

Make your colour last

  • Wait 48 hours before the first shampoo.
  • Use colour-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water.
  • Use a purple shampoo once a week for blonde or ash tones.
  • Protect hair from sun and chlorine; use heat protectant before styling.
  • Book a toner or gloss every 6–8 weeks to keep the shade fresh.
