Hair breakage, bright orange tones and dark ends with bright roots are just some of the problems that can occur when you use home products.
We understand that it can be expensive to come to the salon and get your hair lightened and toned, but we would also ask, can you afford not to?
Firstly, using professional products, with careful application and after a thorough consultation, is more likely to end with a good result than using home products. Our choice of bleach – Blondme by Schwarzkopf contains bond connectors, which help keep the integrity of the hair intact.
Stylists will often take strand tests to see if the hair will withstand a bleach application. It is a very strong product that breaks down hair pigment and strips the natural colour out to create blonde tones. The risk of hair damage is much higher when doing it at home, as it is hard to apply evenly and have 360-degree vision of the head. Plus, stylists understand the different strengths of developers to use with the bleach to ensure the correct degree of lift and minimise hair damage or breakage.

Another consultation will be needed to determine if a toner is needed
A deep conditioning treatment will always be offered to close the cuticle and help bond connection.

Advice about hair care and what to expect after your appointment.
First up, washing! Sometimes a purple shampoo is needed to keep unwanted yellow tones away. Your stylist will be able to advise on which one is best, as some are stronger than others.
Sulphate-free shampoo is highly recommended.
A deep conditioning treatment should be used to maximise condition and add moisture.
Regular trims are essential for all hair types and if you use straighteners or curling irons – even a hair dryer – it’s always best to add a heat protector before styling.
Just some of the reasons why going professional with hair colour is best. Stylists have been trained in understanding the science behind hair colouring, and if things go wrong at home, it can be very expensive and a long process to correct.
