    Let’s talk all things grey!

    Whether you’ve just spotted your first grey hair or you’re already embracing your silver locks, we’re here to share expert tips, professional guidance, and new salon services we know you’ll love.

    Cover It

    Open Quote I’m not ready to go grey. I don’t want to grow old gracefully! Close Quote

    If you’re not ready to embrace the grey, that’s completely okay. Many clients want to maintain their natural colour and cover greys quickly, easily, and with a beautiful salon finish.

    Best Service for Grey Coverage

    Express Roots – Perfect if your grey regrowth appears quickly and you find yourself colouring at home. This salon exclusive service gives you professional grey coverage fast, without the 3-hour appointment. Ideal every 3 – 4 weeks.

    Top Stylist Tips

    Don’t forget your ends – Even if your roots are the priority, your mid-lengths and ends deserve richness, shine and tone. Treat yourself to a full head colour refresh every now and again to keep everything looking glossy and perfect.

    Work With It

    Maybe you don’t hate your greys, but you’re not ready to showcase them either. If you’ve found your first grey or want something low maintenance, grey blending may be your perfect match.

    Top Stylist Tips

    Switch up your homecare – Grey hair can behave differently, sometimes frizzier, coarser or more wiry. Our Glass Hair upgrade smooths, softens and adds instant shine, making blended greys look even better.

    Grey Hair FAQ

    1. What is the best way to cover grey hair?

    Professional colour is the most effective way to cover greys. Our Express Roots service gives fast, natural looking coverage without needing a long appointment. 

    2. What is grey blending?

    Grey blending is a technique that softens and disguises grey hair by mixing in highlights or lowlights. It creates a natural, modern look that grows out beautifully.

    3. Is grey blending low maintenance?

    Yes! Grey blending is designed to grow out softly with no harsh lines. It’s ideal if you want to manage greys while still keeping your colour routine simple.

    4. How can I make my grey hair look shinier?

    Grey hair can sometimes feel coarse or look dull. Our Glass Hair smoothing service boosts shine instantly without adding any colour. Hydrating products and regular treatments also help keep grey hair feeling soft.

    5. Can I colour my grey hair even if I want to embrace it?

    Absolutely. Embracing grey doesn’t mean saying goodbye to colour. You can add subtle lowlights, tone your greys for extra brightness, or use gentle colours that fade naturally with no root line.
