What is often overlooked is the maintenance required to keep that result looking its best.

Some colours are designed to grow out softly and naturally.

Others may require more frequent appointments to maintain brightness, tone, or grey coverage.

Neither approach is right or wrong.

The most suitable colour is often the one that fits your lifestyle, routine, and maintenance expectations.

Our latest Journal article explains why some hair colours require more upkeep than others and how consultations help match colour choices to real life.

Many clients expect consultations to focus only on the colour they would like to achieve.

Instead, we often ask about:

• previous colour history
• homecare routines
• maintenance expectations
• styling habits
• long-term goals

These questions are not designed to make the consultation longer.

They are designed to make recommendations more accurate.

Our latest Journal article explains why understanding the complete picture often leads to safer, more realistic, and more predictable results.

Popped into today by chance I have never been made to feel at ease so quickly, both stylists had the knowledge beyond anything I’ve ever encountered but more importantly they both LISTENED. I have Afro hair and it can be quite daunting to simply ask if they can treat my hair, my concerns were not met with any judgement, and instead were immediately understood, both Paul and Libby were extremely knowledgeable about how the treatment works and explained it to me in a way I understand. I booked for a consultation and had some test strands taken and if the results are good I will be booking for treatment.

Have you ever left the salon loving your hair, only for it to feel completely different a few days later?

This is one of the most common questions we hear.

The answer usually isn't one miracle product.

Professional blow-drying techniques, styling methods, product application, weather, washing habits, and daily routines all influence how your hair behaves.

Our latest Journal article explains why hair can feel different at home and what really affects long-term manageability, shine, and condition.

Most people expect a salon consultation to answer one question:

"Can I have this colour?"

Sometimes the answer is yes.

Sometimes the answer is not yet.

At THE TRUTH IN COLOUR™, consultations are designed to assess what is achievable, what is safe, and what is realistic for your hair.

Hair history, previous colour, condition, porosity, and long-term integrity all influence whether a colour service is suitable today.

Saying no is never about refusing to help.

It is about creating the safest pathway towards the result you want.

Sometimes it feels rougher.

Sometimes it feels flatter.

Sometimes it feels drier or harder to manage.

This does not automatically mean something has gone wrong.

Hair behaviour is influenced by styling methods, homecare, environment, previous colour history, condition, and daily habits.

Our latest Journal article explains why hair can feel different after an appointment and what actually affects long-term softness, shine, manageability, and condition.
