Hair Colour in Farnham

The Full Colour Menu

From a full head tint to a subtle root touch-up, our colour menu covers full head tint, re-growth, glossing, highlights, toner, balayage, lived-in colour and colour correction. Whether you want a complete change or a small refresh, every service starts with a proper consultation - we look at your hair's condition and texture, talk honestly about what's achievable, and show you the plan before we begin.

Looking for something specific? See our dedicated pages on balayage and lived-in colour for more detail on those techniques.

Colour Technology

Goldwell Elumen and permanent colour, explained simply

We use Goldwell Elumen and Goldwell's full permanent colour range across the salon. Put simply: Elumen is a pure pigment colour system that bonds to hair without oxidants, giving vivid, long-lasting tone with a gentler process, while Goldwell's permanent colour range covers everything from natural-looking full coverage to precise re-growth work. Both are formulated with hair integrity built in, so you get colour that performs without compromising on condition - and all the chemicals we use in the salon are vegan.

Colour correction - fixing colour that's gone wrong elsewhere, or gently lifting an unwanted tone - is one of our more specialist services and is always assessed properly at consultation first, since every head needs a different approach.

FAQs

Hair Colour Questions, Answered

Do I always need an allergy test before colour?

Yes - a colour allergy test is a legal requirement 48 hours before all colour services, with the exception of Goldwell Elumen. This isn't a salon preference, it's the law, and it's there to protect you. We'll talk you through booking your test in when you make your colour appointment.

What's the difference between Goldwell Elumen and permanent colour?

Elumen is a pure pigment colour system that bonds to hair without oxidants, giving vivid, long-lasting tone with a gentler process. Goldwell's permanent colour range covers everything from natural-looking full coverage to precise re-growth work. Both are formulated with hair integrity built in, and we'll recommend the right one for your hair and the look you want.

Can you fix colour that's gone wrong somewhere else?

Yes - colour correction is one of our more specialist services. It's always assessed properly at consultation first, since every head needs a different approach depending on what's been done previously.

How much does hair colour cost?

Colour pricing depends on your hair's length, thickness and the service you choose. See our prices page for a full breakdown, with your exact cost confirmed after a consultation.

Is there an age limit for colour services?

Technical colour services are for over-16s only, and 16-18 year-olds need a parent at the consultation.

Do new clients get a discount on colour?

Yes, new clients get 20% off their first visit.
