What Makes Our Hair Colouring Service Different?

Training separates an average colour appointment from a genuinely expert one. Our stylists train to L’Oréal standards, giving every client real confidence in the finished result. Skill matters more than trend-chasing when a colour has to suit real skin tones and everyday routines, not just a photograph.

Our range of services reflects that expertise. Clients seeking hair colouring in Edinburgh can choose from:

Bespoke balayage Edinburgh clients request for soft, hand-painted dimension
Expert colouring for full transformations or subtle refreshes
Hair highlights appointments tailored to face shape and skin tone

Each service starts with conversation, not assumption. We work directly with clients to find the right shade using L’Oréal Professional hair colour for vibrancy and longevity, ensuring results that suit individual style rather than a generic template.

Who Is This Colouring Service Designed For?

Since 1991, we’ve delivered hair colouring that clients rely on, with every appointment tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. That consistency has built a loyal following across Edinburgh, from first-time colour clients to those maintaining decades-long routines.

Walking through our door means stepping into a welcoming atmosphere where hair dreams become reality, not just a checklist of technical steps. Thousands of satisfied customers across Edinburgh have already experienced this approach to colour, styling, and personalised consultation, and Morningside locals form a significant part of that community.

How Does the Colouring Journey Unfold?

A hair colouring appointment begins the moment a client sits down for consultation. Our stylists, trained to L’Oréal standards, guide that first conversation, asking about lifestyle, hair history and the shade a client has in mind. This groundwork prevents mismatched results and wasted time later in the chair.

Consultation covers several essentials before any colour is mixed:

Current hair condition and previous colour history
Desired outcome, whether subtle warmth or a full transformation
Technique selection, from balayage hand-painting to face-framing hair highlights
Product choice using loreal professional hair colour formulas suited to the hair type

Can colouring be combined with a keratin treatment?

Yes. Many clients pair their colour service with our nanoSmooth Pure keratin treatment. Keratin, the natural protein responsible for hair strength, gets rebuilt within the strand during application. Hair emerges with added elasticity, strength, vitality and shine, plus a noticeably smoother, softer finish.

How does the appointment conclude?

Every visit ends with a final shade match against the original goal discussed at consultation. Our stylists compare the finished result carefully, ensuring vibrant, long-lasting colour that reflects each client’s individual style. That closing check is what keeps regulars trust season after season.

Looking for balayage? Our hand-painted balayage services are priced separately — see our balayage page for details.

Prices are based on retouching or updating colour already on your hair. If you are changing colour completely, or you are a new colour client, please ask about our new colour services.

All colours are measured and based on a standard amount of product. If it has been a long time since your last colour, or you have thicker hair, extra product may be needed. Our technology measures the exact amount used, so you are only charged for what your hair takes.

All clients must be patch-tested by us before colour, even if you have had colour elsewhere, and again if it has been more than six months since your last colour. It takes only a few minutes — pop in any time, or have it done during a consultation.

Cutting and styling is charged in addition to these prices. Full-head colour and full-head bleach require a consultation.
