Colour & Technical Services

Colour Services

All colour work is expertly applied by our L’Oréal Professionnel-trained colour technicians under the guidance of your chosen Master Stylist or Style Director in our fabulous colour retreat. All colour services are to be performed in conjunction with a styling service.

Unwind, escape and relax in our beautiful space, designed with your comfort in mind.

Skin Sensitivity and Hair Strand Testing – As with many everyday substances, hair colourants can cause an allergic reaction. It is important that we carry out a skin sensitivity and hair strand test at least 48-hours prior to your colour application, even if you have used a hair colourant before. Upon booking your colour appointment we’ll discuss the best time for you to come in for your skin sensitivity test. It only takes 15 minutes and it’ll save you a whirlwind of worry! View full details here.

Colour service fee – $15 per visit.
