What Makes It Different

Unlike standard highlights, this service lightens a much larger portion of your hair for a brighter, bolder overall look—while still keeping beautiful dimension.

The Look

Bright, luminous colour with a soft root shadow for natural grow-out. You'll go 8–12 weeks between appointments without visible regrowth lines.

Hair Health First

Every step is carefully controlled to keep your hair strong, shiny, and healthy. We never sacrifice condition for colour.

Common Questions

Hair Colour FAQ

What is High Impact Colour?

Our signature blonding service designed for clients who want a noticeable, head-turning transformation. Unlike standard highlights, it lightens a much larger portion of your hair for a brighter, bolder overall look while keeping beautiful dimension. A soft root shadow ensures natural grow-out – you'll go 8–12 weeks between appointments without visible regrowth lines.

Is iNOA colour safe for sensitive scalps?

Yes. L'Oréal Professionnel iNOA is a premium ammonia-free, oil-based colour system. It produces no harsh chemical smell and is significantly gentler than traditional colour. The oil delivery system actually improves scalp hydration and leaves hair noticeably softer – ideal for clients with sensitive scalps.

How often do I need colour maintenance?

With High Impact Colour, most clients go 8–12 weeks between appointments. For iNOA permanent colour, maintenance is typically every 4–6 weeks for root touch-ups. We'll create a personalized maintenance plan during your complimentary consultation.

Can I get colour and extensions at the same appointment?

Yes – we specialize in combining colour and extensions into a single, cohesive appointment. This unified approach ensures your colour and extensions blend seamlessly for a perfectly harmonious result.

I have extensions on my hair but I need my colour done, is it still available to just get my colour?

Yes.

Do I need a patch test before my first colour?

Yes. New colour clients need a patch test at least 48 hours before their first colour appointment. This applies to every colour line we use, including iNOA and Organic Colour Systems. Tell us about any past reaction to hair dye when you request your consultation.

Do you offer organic or ammonia-free hair colour?

Yes – we carry two ammonia-free professional systems: L'Oréal Professionnel iNOA, an oil-based permanent colour, and Organic Colour Systems (OCS), a professional line formulated with naturally derived and certified-organic ingredients. If you prefer the most naturally focused option, ask for OCS at your consultation, or read more about Organic Colour Systems at Salon Dain.
