Elumen Partial Colour uses an ammonia-free, non-oxidative formula to infuse selected sections with rich tone and mirror-like shine while respecting your hair’s condition. Perfect for face-framing accents, a tonal refresh on mid-lengths and ends, or discreet dimension through the top, it delivers tailored results without a full head commitment. ## What's Included A focused service designed for polished, natural-looking colour. - Personal consultation to refine your colour goals and select flattering shades. - Custom placement plan for face-framing pieces, subtle panels or an ends refresh. - Targeted Elumen application to selected sections only. - Timed processing, gentle cleanse and a colour-sealing step for longevity. - Styling finish as booked, plus practical aftercare guidance. ### Who It's For Ideal for those who want to enhance tone and shine without a full colour. Choose it to brighten the face frame, revive faded mid-lengths and ends, or add discreet depth at the crown. It is a smart refresh between full colour visits. Suitable for most natural or previously coloured hair. It will not lighten hair, and offers soft blending rather than full grey coverage. If you are exploring a significant colour change, a consultation will confirm the best route. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow 60 to 90 minutes for the colour service, depending on hair length, thickness and placement. If adding a blow-dry or cut, please allow additional time. Partial appointments work well between full colour visits. If you prefer a weekday or early slot, book ahead to secure your preferred time. ### Aftercare & Maintenance For 48 hours after your colour, keep hair dry if possible and avoid tight ponytails or clips to protect the finish. Use sulphate-free shampoo and colour-care conditioner. Rinse with cooler water, apply heat protection and lower the temperature when styling. Protect from UV and chlorine to reduce fade. Top-up timing depends on placement and shade. Face-framing accents are often refreshed every 6 to 8 weeks, while panels or an ends gloss may last 8 to 12 weeks. A quick gloss between visits can revive shine.

A targeted colour service using an ammonia-free, non-oxidative formula applied to selected sections only. It adds refined tone and high shine without the commitment of a full head colour. Ideal for face-framing pieces, subtle panels or a tonal refresh. Will it damage my hair? The formula is ammonia-free and contains no oxidiser, so it is kinder to the hair than traditional permanent colour. With careful application and a colour-sealing step, hair feels smooth and looks glossy. Your stylist will tailor processing to protect condition. How long will the colour last? Results typically last 6 to 12 weeks, depending on shade depth, hair porosity and aftercare. Richer or deeper tones tend to last longer, while lighter or pastel tones may fade sooner. Using colour-care products helps extend vibrancy. Can it cover grey hair? It offers soft blending and reduces contrast, which works well for early greys. For full, opaque coverage, an alternative colour approach may be recommended. A consultation will clarify the best option for your goals. Do I need a skin test? A skin test may be advised before your first colour appointment or if it has been a while since your last test. This helps ensure comfort and safety. Your stylist will confirm what is needed when you book.
