Free Consultation

Complimentary Colour Consultations Woking & Basingstoke

Our colour technicians have years of experience to ensure the best results and, sure, we understand it can be confusing understanding what the difference is between balayage, babylights and root stretching, ombré and sombré, which is why we'll explain everything to you during your in-depth consultation.

An allergy alert (AAT) test is required before all hair colouring services at Hair Lab hair salon in Woking to allow us to check for sensitivity and reactions to the hair colouring products that we use. We offer free Allergy Alert Tests (also known as skin testing and patch testing) in our salon. 

Sombre 

Sombre

Sombre offers a soft gradient of colour which is similar to ombre but more subtle. Your skilled colourist will choose two or three varying shades of colour that are a close match to your roots to give a seamless, gentle blend of colour which shines a spotlight on the mid lengths and ends of your hair.

You can opt to stick with your natural root colour or if you're looking to disguise white hair or blend unwanted greys then we can transform your look with a little clever root shading. Lighter, brighter hues are applied through all lengths and ends working towards a near invisible finish towards the roots to give a fresh, modern finish to your hair colour.

 

Foilayage

FOILAYAGE COLOURING TECHNIQUE

Foilayage is a popular colouring technique to achieve perfect, dreamy highlights. It works especially well on darker base colours as it allows your colour technician to add sun kissed, natural looking highlights that look like they've always been there - meaning it's super easy to maintain. The aim is to create a colour that becomes more vibrant as it moves from roots to ends. 

Foilayage differs from balayage as the hair is coloured and then placed in foil rather than handpainted. From icy, platinum hues to cool, ash blondes we are confident we can deliver great hair colour results you'll love.

root melt balayage

Root Melt Balayage

Root melt balayage is the ultimate low-maintenance, natural-looking hair colour. This technique seamlessly blends your root colour into lighter tones through the mid-lengths and ends, creating a soft, gradient effect with no harsh regrowth lines.

By keeping the roots darker and melting into lighter hues, our expert colourists at Hair Lab Salons in Woking & Basingstoke can create a custom, face-contouring look that enhances your features. Lighter tones can be placed to add dimension and brightness, while deeper shades can provide depth and definition.

Root melt balayage isn’t just for blondes it looks stunning on brunettes, reds, and caramel tones, adding richness and depth to any hair colour.
