Hair Colour Shades We Specialise In

Blonde Hair Colours

Blonde is never one shade. The colour of hair, ash blonde, is one of our most requested tones, with its cool, slightly smoky quality that photographs beautifully and works particularly well on clients with cooler skin undertones. Dark blonde colours for hair suit brunettes making the jump to a lighter result without wanting anything too dramatic. Colour blond hair options we create regularly include champagne, honey, platinum, and golden blonde, each chosen based on the client’s skin tone, lifestyle, and how much maintenance they want to commit to.

Brunette Hair Colours

Brunette accounts for the majority of our colour work, and the range within this category is huge. Chocolate brown hair is one of the most flattering and universally loved results we produce. Brown or light brown hair colour suits clients who want something natural and healthy-looking without any dramatic change. Brunette brown hair colour in its deeper forms, such as espresso and dark chestnut, creates a rich, striking base that pairs beautifully with lighter pieces framing the face.

Hair colours with brown span from warm toffee through to near-black, and our colourists use layered formulas to add depth and movement to brown hair colour rather than applying a flat single shade. Brunette colours for hair done well should catch the light and shift between tones depending on where you are standing. Light brown hair colour options, including caramel and toffee, see a spike in popularity through spring and summer, and hair colours of brown remain one of the most enduringly popular categories we work in year-round.

Red and Copper Hair Colours

Red and copper require real skill to execute properly. Cooper-coloured hair sits in a warm middle ground between ginger and auburn and genuinely glows in natural light. Getting a true vivid red on dark hair means the hair needs to be lightened first, and we use colour to dye dark brown hair in stages where necessary to preserve the hair’s integrity while achieving a genuine, saturated result. We also give every red and copper client specific aftercare guidance because these shades fade faster than most, and the right homecare routine makes a significant difference to longevity.

Brown and Gold Hair Colour

Brown and gold hair colour is simultaneously classic and current. The golden tones add warmth and luminosity to a brown base without pushing it into full blonde territory. Applied through highlights or balayage, the gold concentrates in areas that catch the light naturally, such as around the face and through the crown, for a result that feels effortlessly warm and dimensional.

Hair Colour Cost Guide

Transparent pricing is something we believe in. Many salons avoid publishing costs, but we would rather give clients an honest picture of what to expect before they book. The hair colour cost at Incredible Hair & Beauty depends on hair length, density, and the complexity of the service. Below is a general pricing guide for Western Sydney clients.

Colour correction is always quoted individually because the complexity varies enormously depending on the existing colour history and how far the hair needs to move to reach the target result.

The Professional Hair Colour Brands We Use

The product behind the service matters. We work with professional-grade colour that is not available in supermarkets or retail stores, and our choices reflect our commitment to results that look exceptional and protect the hair throughout the process.

L’Oréal hair colour products are central to our colour offering. Within the L’Oreal Professional range, we use INOA regularly, an ammonia-free permanent colour that delivers outstanding grey coverage and a noticeably healthier finish than traditional permanent formulas. Majirel is another L’Oreal Professional product we reach for often, particularly for its precision with deeper brunette and red tones. Clients sometimes ask about Garnier hair colour, and while Garnier sits under the same parent company, the professional L’Oreal range we use in the salon is formulated to a significantly higher standard than any retail product, and the results clearly reflect that.

What Happens at Your Colour Appointment

Every appointment starts with a proper consultation. We look at the hair in natural light, go through your colour history, discuss the result you’re after, and assess whether the hair is in good enough condition to proceed with the planned service. If it needs a treatment first, we’ll say so.

For colour correction appointments, a strand test is performed before the full service. This confirms the formula, checks the timing, and removes any guesswork from the process.

The application process varies by service. Full colour goes on root first and is worked through to the ends. Highlights and balayage require careful sectioning and placement, and our colourists stay involved throughout the processing time rather than simply setting a timer and walking away. After rinsing, a toner or gloss refines the shade, followed by a professional treatment to reseal the cuticle and restore moisture. We finish with a blow-dry, a full hair styling, and a thorough aftercare conversation before you leave.

Hair Bleaching for Dark Hair

Hair bleaching is the process of lifting natural pigment from the hair shaft, and it is a necessary step for anyone starting from a dark base who wants to achieve a true blonde or a vivid fashion colour. Done properly, it’s a transformative service. Done poorly, it’s the leading cause of severely damaged hair.

Our approach to hair bleaching is careful and staged. We assess the hair’s condition thoroughly, choose the appropriate developer strength, and monitor progress throughout. For clients wanting hair colour from black to a significantly lighter result, we almost always recommend a staged approach across multiple sessions. The hair comes through in far better condition, and the final result is cleaner and more even than anything rushed in a single aggressive session. We will always be honest with you about what is realistically achievable in one appointment.

Hair Colour Ideas and Inspiration

You don’t need to arrive with a fully formed idea. Some of our best results come from clients who say “I want something different” and trust the process. Hair and colour are a conversation, and our colourists are genuinely skilled at identifying what a client is drawn to and translating that into a workable colour plan.

Hair colour ideas can come from a photo on your phone, a memory of a shade you had years ago, or something you noticed on someone at the shops. Bring whatever reference you have to the consultation. Even if we can’t replicate something exactly, we can usually identify what it is about that colour that appeals and find a formula that captures the same feeling.

Seasonal trends shift the types of colour requests we see. Autumn tends to bring more interest in warm tones such as copper, mahogany, and rich brunette. Spring and summer shift demand toward lighter, brighter results, whether that’s a fresh balayage, a blonde refresh, or something more adventurous. Whatever the season and whatever the vision, the consultation is where it all comes together.

Hair Colour Aftercare and Maintenance

Good homecare extends the life of your colour significantly. Use a sulphate-free shampoo formulated for coloured hair, wash with lukewarm rather than hot water, and apply a weekly conditioning treatment or mask to maintain moisture and vibrancy. Blondes should use a purple toning shampoo once or twice a week to keep brassiness at bay between toning appointments. Vivid colour clients should wash as infrequently as possible in the first week after colouring to allow the pigment to fully settle.

We give every client specific aftercare advice tailored to their service before they leave the salon. The best hairdresser for colour is one who makes sure the result lasts, and that starts with what you do at home.
