Enhance your hair care routine with colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner.
Choose sulphate-free, colour-safe formulas that are enriched with UV filters, antioxidants, and moisture-locking ingredients. Our stylists will prescribe the ideal routine using O&M, EVO, Davines or K18.
Wash Less Frequently
Every wash removes a small amount of colour. Spacing out shampoo days makes a remarkable difference. Refresh between washes with dry shampoo and choose lukewarm water over hot water.
Finish With a Cool Rinse
A cool rinse at the end of your shower closes the cuticle and locks in colour, adding natural shine.
Minimise Heat Styling
Reduce heat exposure where possible and always apply a heat protectant. Embrace heatless styles to protect colour longevity.
Shield Your Colour from the Sun
Wear a hat in prolonged sun and use leave-in products with UV protection. This prevents fading and brassiness, especially in blondes.
Refresh With Gloss or Toner Appointments
A gloss or toner every 4–6 weeks restores tone, shine, and depth between colour sessions.
Deep Conditioning Weekly
Coloured hair thrives on hydration. Use a weekly mask tailored to your hair’s needs for strength, smoothness and vibrancy.
Maintain Your Hairline & Root Area
Touch up regrowth between full appointments to maintain a seamless, lived-in finish.
Protect Your Colour from Chlorine & Salt Water
Apply leave-in conditioner before swimming and rinse afterwards. Follow with a hydrating treatment to avoid dryness and discolouration.
Honour Your Salon Maintenance Schedule
Book gloss refreshes every 6–8 weeks and colour visits every 8–12 weeks to maintain your
bespoke colour.
