More information

What's Included

Every appointment begins with a focused consultation, precise application and a considered finish.

  • Personal colour consultation and shade mapping.
  • Custom blend selection for subtle, classic or statement tones.
  • Hair and scalp preparation for even saturation.
  • Precision full head application for short hair, including hairline and nape.
  • Processing with attentive checks for colour accuracy.
  • Rinse, colour seal and conditioning to enhance shine and longevity.
  • Styled finish with advice on maintaining tone and gloss at home.

Who It's For

Ideal if you wear a shorter cut and want all-over colour that looks immaculate from every angle. It suits anyone seeking a glossy refresh, a tonal shift or soft grey blending without a harsh or brassy finish.

Perfect for first-time colour as well as those returning to colour after a break. If you are looking to go significantly lighter, your stylist may recommend a lightening service instead.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Appointment length depends on hair thickness, current shade and your desired result. Shorter hair allows a streamlined application, but we always allow time for a thorough consultation and a refined finish.

A skin test is required at least 48 hours before your first colour appointment. We will confirm timing when you book and suggest a slot that fits your day.

Please arrive with dry hair free from heavy oils or styling build-up, so colour applies cleanly and evenly.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Wait 48 hours before your first wash to help lock in the result. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner and rinse with cool water where possible.

Apply heat protector before styling and lower the temperature to preserve shine. Limit exposure to chlorine and clarifying shampoos, which can accelerate fade.

To keep tone and gloss at their best, schedule a refresh or gloss top-up every 6 to 8 weeks, or as advised by your stylist. Your home care routine will be tailored to support your colour between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect from Elumen on short hair?
Expect rich, even colour from root to tip with high shine and refined depth. The result enhances shape and movement in shorter cuts while respecting hair condition.
Will this cover my greys?
Elumen blends and softens grey for a natural, flattering finish. For very resistant grey or full coverage, your stylist may combine techniques or recommend an alternative approach.
Can I go lighter with this service?
Elumen is deposit-focused, so it does not provide significant lift. If you want to lighten your hair, we will discuss highlights or a lightening service to achieve the result you have in mind.
How long will the colour last?
Longevity depends on your shade choice, hair care and lifestyle. With the right home care, vibrancy and shine can last for weeks before a refresh is needed.
Do I need a skin test before colour?
A skin test is usually required at least 48 hours before your first colour appointment or after a long break. We will confirm requirements when you book.
