More information

What's Included

A tailored service designed around your hair goals:

  • Personal consultation to discuss shade, placement and maintenance.
  • Bespoke Elumen blend for your desired tone and shine.
  • Half head application focused on parting, hairline and crown.
  • Controlled processing with care for hair condition.
  • Rinse and seal to lock in colour and gloss.
  • Personalised home care guidance to keep your result fresh.

Who It's For

If you value natural-looking brightness and elegant dimension, this service is for you. It refreshes the areas you see every day and offers a refined finish without a drastic change.

It is ideal for regular maintenance, a subtle seasonal update or a polished look before an occasion. If you want a lighter overall result or a major shift, pre-lightening or a full head colour may be more suitable. We will guide you in consultation.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours for consultation, precise application and processing. Timing varies with hair length, thickness and the effect you choose.

If you would like a professional finish, add a blow-dry or cut to your booking. This ensures your new colour is styled and reviewed in detail.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-care shampoo and conditioner, and wash with cool to lukewarm water. Limit heat styling or use heat protection to preserve shine and reduce fade.

Avoid clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoos, chlorine and strong sun without protection. Most clients refresh every 6 to 8 weeks, with an optional gloss top-up between visits to revive tone and shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Elumen and how does it differ from regular colour?
Elumen is an advanced colour system designed to deliver exceptional shine and long-lasting tone with minimal odour. It deposits colour without traditional lightening, helping hair feel smooth and look healthy.
Is a half head enough for me?
Half head focuses on the parting, hairline and crown, where colour is most visible day to day. It is ideal for maintenance or a subtle refresh; for a bigger change, choose a full head.
Will it cover my greys?
Elumen can soften and blend greys while adding tone and shine. For full, opaque coverage, we may suggest an alternative or a combined approach after consultation.
How long will the colour last?
Longevity depends on shade, hair condition and home care. Many clients enjoy their result for 6 to 8 weeks before booking a refresh.
Do I need to lighten my hair first?
Elumen does not lighten natural hair. If you want a lighter overall colour or a significant lift, pre-lightening may be needed, which we will discuss at your consultation.
