Anything over an inch off as this will change your look, even if you are keeping the same style.
The art of drying hair using the best of products and equipment to achieve hold, shine and the chosen style.
Prior to all tinting applications a skin test has to be carried out 48 hrs before every appointment. I use generic skin tests that can be sent through the post or picked up at a previous appointment.
Permanent. As the name implies, this will stay in the hair until cut out. It might fade due to external factors but only grow out so will need to be regularly topped up by booking in for the roots, to keep the unity of colour. Covers 100% white hair.
Semi-Permanent. This will fade as it grows out so the root growth will not be as prominent as permanent tint. Will not cover 100% white hair so those clients with less white than this an ideal introduction to colouring.
Temporary. Generally says it will lasts “x many washes” but the porosity of the hair will affect this statement.
This is where the hair has no artificial colour present (or the client has never had any colour on their hair).
The best thing about tinting hair is that a multitude of shades can be mixed together to create individual colours for each client, along with so many different techniques.
Techniques can be mixed on the same head, creating an even more individual look. Even choose to have half a head, T section, root melt or colour placement areas.
There really is no limit, as long as your hair is not too compromised (damaged) for application to be successful. Always remember tint can be applied to roots to cover at the same time as partial techniques too.

Especially as trends change and a new name can be mentioned but it might only have subtle differences to an old name.

Weaves or Slices of hair that is individually darkened by tint or lightener, giving darker strands through hair.
Blending one colour hue into another. Usually from dark to light can be light to dark. A number of techniques can be used to achieve this look depending on length and style.
Translated from this French word meaning ‘sweeping’. Can be an organic, freehand technique to accomplish this look, especially using a sweeping movement with less difference of colour towards the root area.
This is generally to emphasise a particular area of a style and only needs to be minimal rather than too much or can be dramatic, like emphasising roots as a different shade to the ends. The choice is up to you. A nice surprise area when exposed or a hint of something in movement.
For when you’ve tried to do your own hair, been in the sun too long and so changed your hair colour beyond recognition or changed your mind from one shade to another.
Some time will be needed to set aside and in some cases more than one appointment might be needed.
