Semi permanent colour is a gentle way to enhance your shade without the long-term commitment of permanent dye. It deposits tone to add depth, richness and shine, and it fades gradually, so you avoid a strong regrowth line.

More information

What a Semi Permanent Colour service delivers

A semi permanent colour appointment focuses on improving tone and shine while keeping the finish natural as it fades.

  • A shade and tone consultation to match your natural base and your goal (richer, cooler, warmer, or more glossy).
  • All-over colour deposit to deepen your natural shade or refresh faded lengths.
  • Grey blending to soften the look of regrowth rather than creating a solid root line.
  • Toning for pre-lightened or highlighted hair to reduce brassiness and improve balance.
  • Even, gradual fade-out, making it ideal between permanent colour appointments.
  • Rinse, condition and a finish so you can see the tone properly in different light.

Semi permanent colour is ideal for gloss, refresh and grey blending

Choose semi permanent colour if you want a noticeable improvement in colour and shine, but prefer colour that wears off softly.

  • Your mid-lengths and ends look dull or faded and need a richer tone.
  • You want to try a new shade direction without committing long-term.
  • You have early greys and want them softened, not fully covered.
  • You have highlights and want a toner to neutralise warmth.

How the semi permanent colour appointment runs

The service starts with a consultation, then colour is applied to the areas that need it most (all-over, roots to ends, or a targeted toner on lightened hair). The colour processes for a set time, then is rinsed and conditioned before your hair is dried and finished. Because semi permanent colour does not lighten natural hair, it is best for deepening, toning and enhancing rather than going significantly lighter.

Keeping your semi permanent tone for longer at home

Semi permanent colour fades with washing, heat styling and sun exposure.

  • Use a colour-safe shampoo and keep water temperature lukewarm.
  • Reduce heat where you can and use heat protection when styling.
  • Book in for a tone refresh when the shine drops or warmth starts to show through.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does semi permanent colour last?
Most people see a gradual fade over a few weeks, depending on how often you wash and how porous your hair is. Cooler tones can fade quicker than deeper shades. You can refresh it when the shine and tone start to drop.
What is the difference between semi permanent and permanent colour?
Semi permanent colour deposits pigment to enhance tone and shine, and it fades out. Permanent colour is designed for longer-lasting colour change and stronger grey coverage, and it creates a more defined regrowth line.
Will semi permanent colour cover grey hair?
It can blend and soften grey rather than fully cover it, especially if the grey is scattered. If you need solid, long-wear grey coverage at the root, permanent colour is usually more suitable.
Can semi permanent colour make my hair lighter?
No, semi permanent colour does not lift natural pigment, so it will not lighten your base shade. It is used to deepen, enrich, neutralise unwanted warmth, or add gloss and tone.
Do I need a patch test before semi permanent colour?
A patch test may be needed before your appointment, especially if you are new to colour or have had reactions in the past. Your stylist will advise the correct timing and what to do before you attend.
