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.

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.
