More information

What's Included

Your colour is tailored to your shade goals and hair condition.

  • Personal consultation to confirm shade, coverage level and finish.
  • Precise application of semi-permanent colour to the regrowth zone.
  • Processing time for even, natural-looking results.
  • Cleanse and conditioning to lock in shine and smoothness.
  • Professional blow-dry and finish to reveal the colour.

Who It's For

Ideal if you want to blur roots and soften early greys with minimal commitment. Perfect for those exploring colour for the first time or anyone who prefers a gentle grow-out with no hard lines.

If you need full, resistant grey coverage or a significant colour change, a permanent root tint may be recommended after consultation to meet your goals.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 75 minutes for consultation, application, processing and finish. This ensures an even result and time to perfect your shade.

If you are adding a cut or have very thick or long hair, please select the relevant add-on when booking so enough time is reserved.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use sulphate-free colour-care shampoo and conditioner, and rinse with cool water to help keep your tone true. Limit washing where possible to prolong vibrancy.

Protect hair from heat and UV to reduce fade. Plan maintenance every 4-6 weeks depending on regrowth and lifestyle, with a gloss between visits if you want extra shine.

Between appointments, a tinted root spray or powder can help disguise regrowth for special occasions.

    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

What does a semi-permanent root service do?
It deposits tone into new growth to blend regrowth and soften early greys. The result is an even, glossy root area with a softer grow-out than permanent colour.
Will it cover my greys completely?
It blends and softens grey rather than fully covering resistant hairs. If you want 100 percent coverage, a permanent root tint may be more suitable.
How long will the result last?
Expect around 4-6 weeks on roots, fading gradually without a hard line. Longevity depends on wash frequency, heat styling and sun exposure, plus your hair’s porosity.
Is it gentler than permanent colour?
Yes. Semi-permanent colour is deposit-only, so it is generally kinder to the hair fibre and leaves more shine. We also use protective techniques and conditioning to support hair health.
Can I change to permanent colour or a different shade next time?
You can. At your next visit we can switch to permanent coverage or adjust your tone after a quick assessment of your hair and goals. We will map a plan that suits your maintenance level.
