What Is a Full Head Colour?
A Full Head Colour is the application of a single hair colour from root to tip. It’s ideal for:
- Changing your natural colour
- Enhancing shine and depth
- Covering greys completely
- Evening out patchy tones
- Refreshing dull, faded hair
Our stylists use ammonia-free, cruelty-free professional colour systems that leave your hair nourished, glossy, and full of life.

How Often Should You Do It?
We recommend a refresh every 6–8 weeks, depending on:
