Pre-Pigmenting Colour is the essential step before going deeper or correcting porous ends. We replace missing undertones so your chosen shade sits true, looks richer and lasts longer. Expect even coverage, reduced banding and a healthy, glossy finish.

Who It's For
If you are moving from blonde or highlighted hair to a deeper shade, pre-pigmenting helps avoid flat or khaki results and gives a more natural, dimensional finish. It is also ideal if your mid-lengths and ends fade quickly or look hollow compared with your roots.
It suits anyone with porous or over-lightened hair, visible banding, or uneven tone who wants richer colour that holds and looks healthy between appointments.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Pre-pigmenting is completed within your colour appointment. It adds an extra preparation step so allow additional time for processing and finishing.
If it is your first visit or you are making a major change, book a consultation so we can assess your hair history and allocate the right appointment time.
Aftercare & Maintenance
To keep your new shade fresh, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and reduce wash frequency where possible. Always apply heat protection and keep styling temperatures moderate.
A weekly hydrating or bond-care mask will support softness and shine. Protect hair from UV and chlorinated water, and consider a gloss or toner refresh between major colour visits to maintain depth and tone.
