How do I know which hair colour service to book?
If you're unsure which colour service is right for you, don't worry. Simply book a consultation or choose the service that best matches your goal. Your stylist will assess your hair, discuss your desired result, and recommend the most suitable colour service during your appointment.
 
How often should I colour my hair?
This depends on your chosen colour and maintenance preferences. Root touch-ups are typically maintained every 4–6 weeks, while balayage and lived-in colours can often go 3–6 months between appointments.
 
Can I change my hair colour dramatically in one appointment?
In some cases, yes. However, major colour changes may require multiple appointments depending on your hair history, current colour, and desired result. We always prioritise maintaining the health and integrity of your hair throughout the process.
 
What is a colour correction?
A colour correction is a customised service designed to fix unwanted tones, uneven colour, banding, or previous colour work. Every correction is unique and begins with a thorough consultation so we can create the safest and most effective plan for your hair.
 
Will colouring my hair damage it?
Professional colour services should always prioritise hair health. At Scarlet Hair, we use premium products and customised treatments to help maintain the strength, shine, and condition of your hair while achieving your desired result.
 
How long does a hair colour appointment take?
Appointment times vary depending on the service being performed. A root touch-up may take around 2 hours, while more advanced colour transformations can take several hours. Our team can provide a more accurate estimate when booking.
 
Can I colour my hair if it's already coloured?
Yes. In fact, many clients colour hair that has been previously coloured. During your consultation, we'll assess your hair history and create a personalised plan to achieve the best possible result.
 
What's the difference between permanent and semi-permanent colour?
Permanent colour penetrates deeper into the hair and provides longer-lasting results, while semi-permanent colour gradually fades over time and is often used for glossing, toning, or enhancing shine and richness.
 
How do I keep my hair colour looking fresh between appointments?
Using salon-quality shampoo and conditioner, minimising excessive heat styling, protecting your hair from sun exposure, and attending regular maintenance appointments can help keep your colour looking vibrant for longer.
 
Can you cover grey hair?
Yes. We offer customised grey coverage solutions ranging from natural-looking coverage to blended colour techniques that create a softer grow-out and lower-maintenance result.
 
What is a gloss or toner?
A gloss or toner is used to enhance, refine, or refresh your hair colour. It can add shine, neutralise unwanted tones, and help maintain your colour between major appointments.
 
What hair colours are low maintenance?
Lived-in colours, balayage, root melts, and dimensional colour techniques are popular low-maintenance options because they blend naturally with your regrowth and often require fewer salon visits.
 
Can I go darker after being blonde?
Yes. Transitioning from blonde to brunette requires a customised approach to ensure the colour looks rich, natural, and long-lasting. Your stylist will formulate the perfect colour based on your hair's current condition and history.
 
Why does my hair colour fade?
All hair colour fades over time due to washing, heat styling, sun exposure, water quality, and everyday wear. Professional home care and regular glossing appointments can help maintain colour vibrancy for longer.
 
Can you match my current colour?
In most cases, yes. Whether you're maintaining your current look or switching salons, we'll assess your existing colour and work to create a seamless, natural result.
 
Do I need a consultation before a colour transformation?
For major colour changes, colour corrections, or significant transformations, we recommend booking a consultation first. This allows us to assess your hair, discuss your goals, provide a quote, and develop a personalised colour plan.
 
Can I bring inspiration photos to my appointment?
Absolutely. Inspiration photos help us understand your vision and are a great starting point for discussing what is achievable based on your hair type, history, and maintenance preferences.
 
What is dimensional colour?
Dimensional colour combines multiple tones throughout the hair to create depth, movement, and a more natural-looking result. This technique can make the hair appear shinier, healthier, and more vibrant.
 
How much does hair colour cost?
The cost of hair colour services varies depending on the service selected, your hair length and thickness, the amount of product required, and your desired result. We provide personalised recommendations and pricing during your consultation.
