Your hair colour can literally transform your look and make all the difference to the way you feel.
Our expert colourist listen first; then use leading brands including Wella, Redken, and ELEVEN Australia to make your hair goals happen.
We don’t just follow trends. We tailor your colour to your skin tone, hair type, and how much time you are able to invest in maintaining your look. It’s all completely personalised, designed with you in mind.
So whether you’re dreaming of a buttery blonde, rich brunette, or something that’s going to turn back the years – we’re your colour salon in South Queensferry.
For low-maintenance colour with high-impact results, balayage is the best choice for you.
Balayage is a hand-painting technique that colours individual sections of your hair for lived-in colour that grows out beautifully.
We use it for natural blends, face-framing highlights, seamless toning, and soft transitions that flatter your cut and skin tone. Whether you’re after a subtle sun-kissed effect or some pretty pastel ends, we’ll tailor the technique to suit you.
From root stretches and root drags to colour melts, money pieces, and soft balayage panels, we’ll create dimension and depth that looks expensive – but doesn’t lock you into constant upkeep. If you’re searching for the best balayage in South Queensferry, book a consultation.
From soft baby lights to full platinum transformations, we’re Queensferry’s go-to salon for blondes:
Blonde hair is high-impact but high-maintenance.
You’ll be advised on the best ways to protect your colour between visits.
Your colourist may encourage you to pop back in between services to revitalise your hair with a toner refresh.
Embracing the greys? Want to blend them in naturally? Or prefer full coverage?
We’ll create a colour plan that feels right for you – whether that’s soft regrowth transitions or rich, even tones with staying power.
Blending greys doesn’t have to mean committing to six-week root touch-ups. We can use techniques like babylights or freehand painting to soften the contrast and break up harsh regrowth lines, so things grow out more gently.
Have you started to think about transitioning to grey, but don’t feel ready to go all in yet? We’ll guide you through the process step by step – with honest advice and colour that feels true to you.
If you’re not ready for a permanent colour or just want to enhance your natural shade, glossing might be your new go-to.
A gloss is a semi-permanent colour that adds shine, richness, and tone – without the long-term commitment.
It can deepen your natural shade, give your existing colour a boost, or add a whole new vibe that gently fades over time.
You could try a gloss if you’re new to colour and want to try something subtle before going bolder.
They’re low-maintenance, fade true to tone, and can make your hair look healthier and shinier in just one appointment.
If your colour’s looking a little brassy, faded, or just not quite like it did when you left the salon – it’s time for a toner.
Your colourist will select the perfect toner to neutralise unwanted tones and refine the shade of your colour. We use toners to keep blondes cool, soften warmth in brunettes, and perfect your tone after lightening.
Toners usually last around 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair and how often you wash it. They’re included in many of our full colour services, but can also be booked as a standalone refresh to maintain your colour between appointments.
A simple way to keep your colour looking salon-fresh, between full service.
We charge for the time your service takes (application only – not development time!) plus the cost of colour products used. That way, you’re paying for exactly what you need and nothing you don’t.
For a clear idea of what your colour will cost, book a consultation. We’ll assess your hair, chat through your goals, and give you a full breakdown before you commit.
You must have a skin test at least 48 hours before your appointment if:
Due to safety regulations and insurance policies, we do not offer any colour services to anyone under the age of 16 – even with parental consent.
We know this can be disappointing, but your safety comes first.
See our client terms and conditions.
Yes! We have a strict no skin test, no colour policy. You’ll need a skin test at least 48 hours before your appointment if you’re a new client, haven’t had colour with us in the last 6 months, or have recently had a tattoo, henna, or brow tint. It’s quick, easy, and essential for your safety.
If you’re considering having hair colour in South Queensferry, why not pop in to get a skin test on file.
We charge based on the time your service takes and the amount of product used – so it’s totally personalised to you. The best way to get an accurate price is to book a consultation, where we’ll assess your hair and talk through your colour goals and the cost of your service.
Maybe – but not always. It depends on your starting colour, hair history, and the condition of your hair. We’ll always be honest about what’s possible in one session and may recommend a colour journey to get you there safely.
That’s totally up to you depending on your lifestyle, your skin tone and how often you want to have your hair coloured. Some clients want full coverage, others prefer a soft blend using techniques like babylights or root smudging.
We’ll talk you through all the options at your consultation and help you find the result that’s going to work best for you
Great question! A toner adjusts the tone of your existing colour – it’s often used after lightening to neutralise unwanted shades.
A gloss is a semi-permanent colour that adds shine and richness.
Both can subtly enhance or refresh your colour between appointments and your colourist will explain the best option for you.
For the best results and the longevity of your colour, we always encourage you to come to your colour appointment with clean hair.
Dirt, oil and root touch-up sprays leave residue that stops the colour being able to penetrate the hair as effectively.
Just to let you know, if your hair is not in suitable condition for the colour service, resulting in our colourist having to wash and/or dry your hair at the start of the appointment, this will result in an additional charge.
