What is the difference between a root touch up and grey blending?

A root touch up colours the regrowth at your roots. Grey blending softens the contrast of grey hair so the regrowth line is less noticeable.

Root touch up

It keeps your colour even between full colour services. It is the right choice when you like your colour and only the roots have grown out.

Grey blending

It does not aim to hide every grey hair. It softens the contrast so the grey sits more naturally with your colour. Many people choose it when they want less frequent appointments or a softer grow out.

Root shadow or root melt

It blends the root into the lengths for a softer grow out. It starts at $70. It is a good choice if a hard regrowth line bothers you.

How do you choose between them?

Choose by how much grey you have and how much upkeep you want.

  • Want full coverage at the root: A root touch up.
  • Want a softer grow out and fewer visits: Grey blending.
  • Want to soften the line between old colour and new growth: A root shadow or root melt.

I recommend the better option at your consultation after I see your hair. Grey hair can have a different texture from the rest of your hair and can take colour differently. This is another reason I look at your hair before I decide.

How often do you need a root touch up?

It depends on how fast your hair grows and how much contrast you can see.

I do not give one fixed number because it is different for every person. A common sign is when the regrowth line starts to bother you. Booking before the line gets long keeps the service simpler. If you want longer gaps between visits ask me about grey blending or a root shadow.

What affects the final price?

Hair length and thickness and the complexity of the service change the final price.

Toner and a haircut and a blowout are extra unless I tell you otherwise. A gloss or toner starts at $55. A full colour is a different service. It starts at $110 for short hair and $130 for medium hair and $155 for long hair. I confirm the price before the service begins.

Do you colour men's hair?

Yes. Men's colour starts at $55 and is priced separately from women's colour.
