#expensivecolour is a term that is trending right now. We have a number of Stylists in each salon that have been trained in the services needed to create this sophisticated and seamlessly blended look.
We get it, all hair colour at our salons feels and looks expensive, we specialise in quality and expensive looking hair. #expensivecolour is more of a term used to define a type of hair transformation that uses advanced, individualised foil placement and multiple techniques for a natural, low-maintenance, and seamlessly blended, sophisticated look. #expensivecolour is designed to grow out beautifully over a longer time, so even though you might spend more time in the salon to achieve #Expensive Colour, you should need less visits to the salon over time. Read below for information on how #Expensive Colour differs from traditional foils and traditional balayage.
#Expensive Colour services cannot be booked online as they require a complimentary consultation prior to the appointment. During the consultation, your Colourist will be able to book your service for the required amount of time and be able to quote accurately.
How does #Expensive Colour differ from traditional foils and traditional balayage?
#Expensive Colour is a premium, high-end colouring technique designed for guests who seek a seamless, sophisticated, and ultra-luxurious finish. This method involves advanced foil placement that enhances natural hair movement and facial features, ensuring a polished, multi-dimensional result with no harsh lines or obvious regrowth. Multiple toners are used to perfect the blend, creating a natural yet high-impact effect. Due to its precision and customisation, this technique requires longer appointment times and a higher level of skill, making it a more expensive service. However, it is also low-maintenance, with clients typically needing touch-ups only every 4-6 months, allowing for a long-lasting, effortlessly blended look.
Traditional Foils are the most structured and high-contrast highlighting method, offering bright, defined blonde from roots to ends. Foils are placed in a uniform or slightly customised pattern to lighten specific zones of the hair. This method creates strong, visible highlights and often requires multiple toners to maintain a smooth transition from roots to tips. While effective in achieving a bold and striking blonde look, traditional foils require more frequent upkeep, typically every 6-8 weeks, as regrowth lines become visible. It is a more standardised approach compared to Expensive Colour, with less room for customisation, making it a reliable choice for those who prefer a classic, well-defined highlight.
Traditional Balayage is a more artistic and freehand approach to hair colouring, focusing on a natural, sun-kissed, and low-maintenance effect. Lightener is painted directly onto the hair, creating a gradual fade from mid-length to the ends, allowing for a lived-in look with minimal upkeep. Unlike foils, balayage does not create harsh regrowth lines, making it an ideal choice for guests who prefer a softer, more relaxed blonde. While still customisable, this technique is less structured than Expensive Colour and does not provide as much control over placement. It requires moderate maintenance, with refresh appointments every 3-4 months, and is perfect for those who want a more effortless, beachy aesthetic.
Fashion colours include pastel and vivid (or bright) colours which are usually applied over very blonde, or pre-lightened hair. Fashion colours could be an all-over single colour, or multiple colours through the hair in sections, or blended depending on your inspiration.
We use Evo Staino direct dyes when creating fashion colours.
