Ombre is a colour technique that creates a gradual blend from deeper roots to lighter mid lengths and ends. The result is soft, dimensional and easy to wear, with a grow-out that looks intentional rather than harsh. Your ombre is tailored to your natural base, your desired brightness, and the finish you want, from subtle sun-kissed tones to stronger contrast.

What ombre covers
Ombre is designed to give you a seamless, wearable transition of colour. Your appointment typically includes:
- A consultation to agree tones, placement, and the overall level of contrast
- Lightening through the mid lengths and ends to create the fade
- Toning to refine warmth or coolness and improve blend
- Optional root shadowing for a softer transition at the top
- Finishing and styling so you can see the final colour in natural movement
- Straightforward aftercare guidance to protect shine and tone
Who ombre is best for
Ombre suits you if you want a change that still feels low maintenance. It is a strong option when you:
- Prefer a softer regrowth line than traditional highlights
- Want brighter ends without committing to frequent root work
- Are growing out previous colour and want a more blended look
- Like lived-in colour that works with your natural base
It can be adapted for most hair types and colours. Very short hair may limit how gradual the blend can be.
How the appointment works
You will start with a consultation to align on tone, placement, and how bold you want the fade to be. The lightener is applied to create a controlled transition, then processed and rinsed. A toner is used afterwards to fine-tune the shade and smooth the blend, followed by finishing so you can check the balance and brightness.
Aftercare and upkeep
To keep your ombre looking fresh, use colour-safe products and heat protection. A toner refresh can help maintain the exact tone you like, especially for cooler shades. Many clients top up the lightened ends less often than traditional highlights, depending on how bright they go and how quickly their hair grows.
