Hair Colour Shades We Specialise In

Blonde

Blonde is never one shade. Ash blonde is one of our most requested tones, with a cool, slightly smoky quality that photographs beautifully and suits cooler skin undertones. Darker blonde shades suit brunettes making the jump to a lighter result without anything too dramatic. We also create champagne, honey, platinum and golden blonde, each chosen based on your skin tone, lifestyle, and how much maintenance you want to commit to.

Brunette

Brunette accounts for the majority of our colour work, and the range within it is huge. Chocolate brown is one of the most flattering, universally loved results we produce. Lighter browns suit clients who want something natural and healthy-looking without a dramatic change, while deeper shades such as espresso and dark chestnut create a rich, striking base that pairs beautifully with lighter pieces framing the face. Our colourists use layered formulas to add depth and movement rather than applying one flat shade — done well, brunette colour should catch the light and shift between tones depending on where you are standing. Caramel and toffee tones see a spike in popularity through spring and summer, but brunette shades remain one of the most enduringly popular categories we work in year-round.

Red & Copper

Red and copper require real skill to execute properly. Copper 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 lightening it first, and we work 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, since these shades fade faster than most and the right homecare routine makes a real difference to how long the colour lasts.

Brown & Gold

Brown and gold 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 where it catches the light naturally — 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 you an honest picture of what to expect before you book. Cost depends on hair length, density and the complexity of the service — here is a general pricing guide for Western Sydney clients.

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

The Professional Colour Brands We Use

The product behind the service matters. We use professional-grade colour that is not available in supermarkets or retail stores, reflecting our commitment to results that look exceptional and protect your hair throughout the process. Within the L’Oréal Professionnel range, we use INOA regularly — an ammonia-free permanent colour that delivers outstanding grey coverage and a noticeably healthier finish than traditional permanent formulas — alongside Majirel, which we reach for often for its precision with deeper brunette and red tones. Professional salon colour is formulated to a meaningfully higher standard than anything sold at retail, and the results 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 are after, and assess whether the hair is in good enough condition to proceed with the planned service. If it needs a treatment first, we will 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 lifts natural pigment from the hair shaft, and it is a necessary step for anyone starting from a dark base who wants a true blonde or a vivid fashion colour. Done properly, it is a transformative service. Done poorly, it is the leading cause of severely damaged hair.

Our approach to bleaching is careful and staged. We assess the hair’s condition thoroughly, choose the appropriate developer strength, and monitor progress throughout. For clients moving from black or very dark hair 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 do not 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. Colour is a conversation, and our colourists are genuinely skilled at identifying what a client is drawn to and translating that into a workable colour plan.

Bring whatever reference you have to the consultation — a photo on your phone, a memory of a shade you had years ago, or something you noticed on someone at the shops. Even if we cannot 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 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 is 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.

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 — because a great colour result is only as good as how long it lasts.
