It leaves hair looking glossier and more even, then fades gradually for a soft, natural finish. ## What semi permanent colour delivers Semi permanent colour is designed to enhance what you already have, rather than dramatically change it. Your appointment is tailored to your current colour, your desired tone, and how long you want the result to wear. - Refreshes faded colour and restores richness - Adds shine and improves the look of dull or porous hair - Neutralises unwanted warmth or brassiness (where suitable) - Softly blends early greys for a less contrasted look - Creates a more even tone through mid-lengths and ends - Fades gradually with minimal harsh regrowth ### Who it is best for Semi permanent colour suits you if you want a noticeable improvement in tone and shine, without a long-term commitment. It is ideal between highlighting or permanent colour appointments, or if you are trying a new shade direction carefully. It is also a good choice if your hair feels sensitised and you want a gentler approach to refreshing your colour. ### What to expect during the service You will start with a consultation to agree your target tone and check your hair’s condition and previous colour history. The colour is then applied and allowed to develop before being rinsed and finished. Because semi permanent colour sits on the hair rather than lifting it, results depend on your starting shade, porosity, and any previous colouring. ### Results, wear time, and aftercare Semi permanent colour fades a little with each wash, which helps it age naturally over time. To keep the tone true for longer, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, limit hot water, and reduce heat styling where possible. When the colour starts to look softer or warmer, a top-up or toner refresh can bring the finish back to your preferred tone.

Semi permanent colour deposits tone and shine but does not significantly lighten hair. Permanent colour can provide longer-lasting coverage and, in some cases, lift the natural shade. Semi permanent fades gradually, so regrowth is softer. Will semi permanent colour cover grey hair? It can soften and blend early greys, making them look less contrasted against your natural colour. Full, solid grey coverage is not always possible with semi permanent formulas. Your stylist will advise what result you can realistically expect. Can semi permanent colour make my hair lighter? Usually not. Semi permanent colour is primarily used to deepen, enrich, or adjust tone rather than lighten. If you want a lighter result, you may need highlights or another lightening service. How long will semi permanent colour last? It fades gradually over multiple washes, and longevity varies by shade choice, hair condition, and home care. Frequent washing and hot tools can shorten wear. Using colour-safe products helps the tone stay fresher for longer. Can I have semi permanent colour on previously coloured hair? Yes, it is often used to refresh mid-lengths and ends or to rebalance tone after other colour services. Results can vary if there is old colour build-up or uneven porosity. A consultation helps choose the right shade and approach.
