Regrowth shows quickest at the parting and hairline. A tailored root tint blends new growth with your existing colour, covers greys cleanly and restores a seamless, polished finish. Custom-matched to your tone and depth, it refreshes your look without flattening dimension through the lengths.

Who It's For
If you maintain permanent colour or want reliable grey coverage, a root tint keeps your hairline and parting tidy with a clean, even result. It suits anyone who loves their current shade and simply wants the roots refreshed, not a full colour change.
It is also a smart option between highlight appointments when you prefer a solid, polished root while keeping the dimension through your lengths.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Application typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with additional time for any finish, cut or add-ons you book alongside the colour. First-time clients may allow a little extra time for consultation so we can assess hair history and goals.
A skin test is required at least 48 hours before your first colour appointment or when formulas change. This ensures comfort and safe, predictable results.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo, nourish with a weekly mask, and protect with heat and UV shields to preserve tone and shine. Wash with lukewarm water and reduce heat styling where possible to minimise fade.
Most clients rebook every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on growth and grey coverage needs. A gloss or toner on mids and ends between appointments can refresh shine and harmonise the overall finish.
