What's Included

A focused service that refreshes your roots without over colouring the lengths.

  • Personal consultation to assess regrowth, undertone and goal.
  • Shade match and bespoke formula to complement your existing colour.
  • Precision application to regrowth only to avoid banding and build up.
  • Timed development with regular checks for even, reliable coverage.
  • Professional cleanse, colour seal and scalp friendly rinse.
  • Blow dry and finish to check tone and shine.
  • Tailored maintenance plan, including when to book your next visit.
  • Optional add ons: gloss for mid lengths, toner, or a cut and style by request.

Who It's For

If you notice natural colour or greys showing at the parting and hairline, a root tint keeps everything seamless and polished. It suits anyone who wants consistent coverage without changing the overall shade.

It is also a smart top up between larger colour services. If your lengths look fine but your roots need attention, this targeted approach keeps hair looking fresh with minimal commitment.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Most root tint appointments take around 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on regrowth, hair thickness and finishing. If you are adding a cut, allow extra time.

To maintain a soft regrowth line, book every 4 to 6 weeks. First time colour clients may need a skin test at least 48 hours before their appointment.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Wait 48 hours before your first wash to help lock in colour. Use sulphate free, colour safe shampoo and conditioner and rinse with lukewarm water.

Limit heat where possible and always apply a heat protectant before styling. A weekly nourishing mask helps keep hair smooth and glossy.

If needed between visits, use a temporary root touch up powder or spray. Book a gloss or toner for mid lengths when ends look dull to keep the whole look balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a root tint?
It is professional colour applied to regrowth only, matched or blended to your existing shade. It disguises greys and evens out the root area for a freshly coloured look.
How often should I book a root tint?
Most clients return every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth and how visible their natural colour is. Your stylist will suggest a schedule that suits your hair and lifestyle.
Will a root tint cover grey hair completely?
Yes. Permanent formulas can give full coverage, while demi permanent options deliver a softer blend. Your stylist will tailor the approach to your preference.
Can a root tint lighten my roots?
Standard root tints deposit colour to match or darken. Lightening natural roots usually needs a different technique, such as highlights or a global lightening service.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with dry hair free from heavy oils or styling build up. Bring a photo of your current colour in good light and share recent colour history to help with accurate shade matching.
