Going Blonde
Choosing an all-over blonde is a popular option for anyone wanting a bright, beautiful, and confident look.
Our colour technicians work closely with you to select the most flattering shade, whether you desire a cool platinum, soft baby blonde, or a natural golden finish.
Every stage of the blonding process is handled with care, ensuring your hair’s condition remains at its best. We take time to assess your starting shade, hair health, and maintenance preferences before developing a bespoke plan.
Maintenance appointments and the right aftercare products are essential to keep your blonde colour looking vibrant and feeling healthy between visits.
Clients who choose all-over blonde can expect a stunning, even result that enhances both their style and confidence.
Creative Colour
If you are ready to try something truly unique, creative hair colour allows for bold personal expression. From vivid brights to pastel hues and trendsetting colour blends, our team is skilled in delivering results that truly stand out.
Creative techniques can include colour blocking, rainbow effects, or soft washes of fashion shades, all applied with precision to achieve your envisioned look.
Our colour technicians prioritise the health and integrity of your hair, selecting appropriate colour formulas and advising on aftercare to support your chosen style.
The creative process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and ensure the final result is both wearable and beautifully executed.
Balayage
Balayage is a sought-after freehand colouring technique that creates a soft, naturally sun-kissed effect on the hair.
This approach involves painting lighter tones onto selected sections, producing a multi-dimensional result that grows out seamlessly.
Clients appreciate balayage for its low-maintenance finish and how it can be tailored to achieve soft, subtle highlights or more defined contrast.
At Strands Hairdressing, we personalise every balayage to enhance your cut, hair type, and natural colour, delivering a bespoke look that feels fresh and modern.
Aftercare advice and recommended products are provided to help you maintain shine and longevity between appointments.
Redheads, Blondes & Brunettes
Classic hair colours remain timeless for a reason. Rich brunettes, glowing reds, and radiant blondes all have unique appeal and can be adapted to complement any complexion or style preference.
Our colour technicians offer expert guidance to help you choose the perfect classic shade, whether you are refreshing an existing tone or ready to try something new.
High-quality colour formulas are applied with care to deliver even, lasting results, while bespoke advice on maintenance and colour protection ensures you enjoy your look for weeks to come.
Whatever your inspiration, classic shades provide versatile, flattering options suitable for everyday wear or special occasions.

FAQs About Your Hair Colour Service
If you have a question about your hair colour service, please do not hesitate to ask us. Below are some of our most frequently asked questions...
How do I choose the right hair colour for my skin tone?
«Our colour technicians offer personalised advice during your consultation to help identify the most flattering shades for your complexion.
Will colouring my hair damage it?
«We use high-quality colour products and take steps to protect your hair’s condition throughout the process. Aftercare and regular conditioning treatments are advised.
Is blonde hair high maintenance?
«Depending on the type of blonde service you choose, you may require maintenance appointments. Regrowth will show if you have an all-over blonde colour that is much blonder than your natural hair shade, for example, so we recommend coming in every 6-8 weeks or so to enable us to retouch your roots. Blonde balayage is lower maintenance and you can stretch out appointments for longer.
What is the difference between highlights and balayage?
«Highlights are usually applied in foils for a more uniform look, while balayage is more of a freehand technique for softer, natural-looking dimension.
Can I go from dark hair to blonde in one appointment?
«Significant lightening is often a gradual process to preserve hair health. Our team will advise on a safe, achievable plan for dramatic colour changes.
Are creative colours suitable for all hair types?
«Creative colour options can be tailored for various hair types, though pre-lightening may be required for the brightest shades.
How long will my hair colour last?
«With the correct aftercare and recommended products, most professional colour results will last several weeks before requiring a refresh.
What colour aftercare products do you recommend?
«Our team will suggest professional Redken shampoos, conditioners, and treatments specifically designed to protect your colour and hair condition.
