Definitely bring in photos of what you do like AND what you don’t like, because everyone has different interpretations of colour. That way, your Colourist will know exactly what you want to achieve.

Skin Tone Analysis

It’s important to take your skin tone into consideration when choosing a hair colour; you want it to complement, not clash. Ask your Colourist about skin tone analysis in your consultation, they will be able to give you a better idea of what could suit you best.

Determining your skin tone can transform your whole look completely. We look at your natural colouring, features and lifestyle to advise you not only on your perfect hair colour but complimentary clothing and make-up shades too!

Embrace Grey

With more and more women and men embracing their greys, Wella Professionals new True Grey Range can help you to enhance and celebrate your grey hair!

Silver Glow service is a revitalising treatment for naturally grey hair. It’s quick and convenient with no commitment and no damage! Silver Glow comes in 7 different grey tones which mimic the natural hues of beautiful grey hair. It uses a low volume activator, to ensure results are free of lift and damage and leaves the hair feeling soft, manageable and rejuvenated!

The Silver Glow treatment gives a natural sparkle and a blended grey result, the best thing is its zero damage and zero commitment!

Add Vibrancy

How can I add vibrancy and shine but maintain a natural look?

The best way to enhance your natural look is to go for a temporary or semi-permanent hair colour. Semi permanent colours encourage healthy hair, require low maintenance and add a high shine to the hair.

Wella Colour Fresh masks are a perfect solution if you’re looking for a quick, low maintenance colour enhancing, glossing service that fades true to tone. Guaranteed to boost shine, enhance colour and leave your hair conditioned and refreshed!

Prevent Damage

How can I prevent damage when colouring my hair? – Protect your scalp with an Alin Test. At Francesco Hair Salon, the health and wellbeing of our clients is our priority, which is why our Skin Allergy Test Policy insists that if you’re a new client or you haven’t had a colour service with us in the last 6 months, you must undergo a Skin Allergy Test at least 48 hours before your colour appointment.

To ensure that we are giving you the highest levels of customer care, we insist on Skin Allergy Tests for your comfort and protection. Skin Allergy Tests help prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions to hair colour applications, keeping your hair and scalp in safe condition!

Whether you are a rich caramel blonde or ice white blonde, INVIGO Blonde Recharge Conditioner is available in a warm or cool formula to maintain your shade at home.

Next time you’re in the salon, ask your Stylist to help you choose your hair care products to suit your newly coloured hair and maintain the vibrancy for longer.
