The Blending Studio

This lovely client came to me wanting one thing... lower maintenance hair.

She was fed up with the grow-out line, wanted to embrace her greys, and wanted the freedom to get her hair done when she wanted to, not because she felt she had to.

When I suggested a grey blending approach, she was understandably nervous. She didn’t dislike her previous colour, but it wasn’t giving her the softer, more seamless grow-out she was looking for.

Using fine babylights throughout her incredibly thick, long hair, we mirrored what her natural hair was already doing. More baby lights where the greys were naturally stronger, less where they were sparse, and carefully added depth in between to recreate that beautiful salt-and-pepper effect.

The result? Softer, more dimensional, and designed to grow out far more naturally.

Is it perfect? Not quite, in my eyes.

Is she much happier? Absolutely.

The reality with grey blending is that we can only work with what the hair will allow us to do on the day. If there’s years of warmth and old colour sitting in the hair, we remove as much as we safely can and then tone the rest. Personally, I can still see areas I’d love to refine further, but grey blending is rarely a straight-line journey.

The difference is that as her hair grows, the regrowth will blend far more seamlessly. Future maintenance won’t be another huge highlighting appointment, it’ll be toner refreshes and the right home care to keep unwanted warmth under control.

Grey blending isn’t about covering your greys. It’s about working with them, creating a plan, and trusting the process. 💚

At 23, I genuinely thought maybe hairdressing just wasn’t for me anymore.

But looking back now, It wasn’t the industry itself. I just no longer felt comfortable in the environment I was in at the time and I didn’t really know how to communicate that.

So I just kept pushing through quietly instead.

This post isn’t about leaving salons or starting over. Sometimes all it takes is feeling heard, supported or more aligned with the people and environment around you.

I just wanted to share this in case someone else has been feeling the same way 🤍 my DM’s are always open!

Looking back now, I can honestly say I’ve loved and learnt something from every job and every chapter I’ve been lucky enough to experience! Trust the process and enjoy the journey.

I cannot recommend Paige at the blending studio enough! She did an absolutely amazing job transforming my hair from dark brown to a stunning golden blonde. The results exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the color.

After having so many bad experiences with my hair in the past, I was nervous, but Paige’s expertise and professionalism instantly put me at ease. She truly understood what I wanted and executed it perfectly.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also helped me regain so much confidence in my hair. I’m so grateful for her work, and I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you, Paige! - also you make an amazing tea! 🫖

I had a really good first experience at the blending studio with Catherine & Paige. They made me feel so comfortable, listened to my needs and I’m so glad I found them! I haven’t had my hair done for such a long time and it was so lovely to have it done finally where I felt comfortable. It’s a lovely salon and so quiet and relaxing. Thank you so much!
