Semi Permanent Colour in Brighton

Semi Permanent Colour is a gentle way to refresh tone, add shine and try new shades without long term commitment. It is deposit only, so it coats the outside of the hair and cannot lighten. Most results last 4 to 12 washes, fading softly with each shampoo.

Who it is for

  • Clients who want a low commitment change or a soft refresh between permanent colour visits
  • Those with delicate or damaged hair who prefer ammonia free options
  • Anyone who wants to try fashion colours with less risk
More information

What to expect

  • Consultation: We choose a shade to suit your skin tone and style
  • Application: Colour is applied to clean, towel dried hair
  • Timing: Allow 60 to 90 minutes for consultation, application, development and a professional finish
  • Location: Friendly Kemptown salon with easy links from Brighton Marina, North Laine and Hove

Results and maintenance

  • Expect a sheer, glossy finish that enhances your natural colour or deepens it
  • Colour fades gradually. Use colour safe shampoo, lukewarm water and heat protection to help it last
  • Many clients refresh tone every 4 to 8 weeks or add a gloss at the basin for extra shine

Good to know
A patch test is required 48 hours before your first semi or if it has been over six months. Semi Permanent Colour cannot lift or lighten. For brighter or lighter results, ask about highlights or a lightening service.
