A root melt is a colour technique where a darker tone is blended into lighter hair to create a seamless transition and reduce harsh lines. Is a root melt the same as a toner? Not quite – a toner refines colour, while a root melt involves blending darker roots into lighter hair, often using toners as part of the process. Who is this service best for? It’s perfect if you have highlights, balayage, or blonde ends and want a softer grow-out or more natural transition. Do I need a patch test? Yes – we require a patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment for all technical colour services. How long does it last? A root melt typically lasts 6–8 weeks. Many clients use it to stretch the time between lightening appointments. Can I pair this with a cut or gloss? Definitely – a cut, gloss or conditioning treatment can be added to your appointment. Let us know when booking. Where is your salon located? We’re in Old Town, Eastbourne, and welcome clients from Pevensey, Polegate, Hailsham, and surrounding areas.
