More information

What's Included

A focused colour service for even, natural regrowth coverage.

  • Personal colour consultation and shade match.
  • Regrowth assessment to plan placement and finish.
  • Bespoke formula mixed to mirror your tone, depth and reflect.
  • Targeted application to roots for even coverage and minimal banding.
  • Timed development with checks for accuracy and scalp comfort.
  • Rinse and cleanse, plus light conditioning to seal colour.
  • Aftercare guidance to help your colour last.

Who It's For

Perfect if you want reliable grey coverage and a tidy hairline without changing your overall colour. It keeps your look polished for work, social plans and travel.

Also suitable if you maintain highlights or balayage and prefer a soft, blended root rather than a full colour refresh. Great for low maintenance upkeep between bigger colour services.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 75 minutes for this service, covering consultation, precise application and processing.

If you choose to add a cut, blow-dry, gloss or highlights, your appointment time will be longer.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, and wash with lukewarm water to protect vibrancy. Apply heat protection before styling.

Most clients return every 4-6 weeks, depending on regrowth and how visible your natural colour is. A gloss or toner between visits can refine tone and add shine if needed.

Limit chlorine exposure and prolonged sun without UV protection to prevent fade. Finish with nourishing masks weekly to keep hair feeling soft.

    After using box dyes for so many years my hair had so many different bands of colours in it that I knew it was time to go to a good hairdressers. So glad I chose Nicholas Ablitt. Staff are so welcoming & friendly to everyone who walks through the door. We chatted how to deal with my hair when i first stepped in many years ago. I always get a professional finish and cut & dried how I like it. Been more than 5 years now since I first went which says something in itself. Always a pleasure to go there have a cuppa & a chat while your hair is being styled. Prices are also very competitive. Thanks guys 💕

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I book a root tint?
Most clients return every 4-6 weeks, depending on regrowth and how visible your natural colour is. Faster regrowth or a high level of grey may need closer to 4 weeks.
Will a root tint cover resistant greys?
Yes. We adjust the formula and processing time for resistant hair to achieve consistent, natural coverage.
What is the difference between a root tint and a full head tint?
A root tint targets regrowth only, maintaining your shade while protecting the condition of your lengths. A full head tint refreshes colour through all the hair and is best when you want to alter depth or tone overall.
Can I combine this with highlights or a cut and finish?
Yes, a root tint pairs well with subtle highlights or a gloss to add dimension, and can be scheduled with a cut and finish. Combining services will lengthen your appointment.
Do I need a skin test before colour?
A skin test may be required for new colour clients or if your health history has changed. Arrange this in advance so your service can be carried out safely.
