Your Complimentary Colour Consultation  

If you’re new to hair colour or considering a big change, book a complimentary colour consultation at our Gloucester salon. We’ll take the time to understand what you want, assess your existing colour and hair condition, and talk through what will work for your hair, lifestyle and maintenance routine.

What happens at your consultation?

We assess your hair: We’ll look at your existing colour, condition and any previous colour history.
We discuss your goals: Tell us what you love, what you don’t, and how much time you want to spend maintaining your colour.
We explore your options: Bring along screenshots of colours and looks you love and even ones you don’t. They can help us understand exactly what you have in mind.
We recommend suitable techniques: From balayage and highlights to grey blending, glossing or colour correction, we’ll suggest the techniques and shades best suited to you.
We create a realistic colour plan: We’ll explain what’s achievable, whether your colour may need to be built up over several appointments, and how to look after it between visits.

Our aim is to make sure you understand your colour options and feel confident about the plan before we get started.

Ombré 

We can create beautiful ombre and balayage hair colours by adding subtle (or not so subtle) highlights throughout your hair.   Balayage means ‘to paint’ or ‘to sweep’ in French and involves creating a natural sun-kissed look by hand painting highlights through your hair.  We also offer ombré hair colouring which will give you a more defined two-tone colour that is usually dark to light but can also include fun fashion hair colours.

Highlights, Lowlights, Babylights & Foils

Possibly the most popular hair colour techniques are foil highlights and lowlights. Applying foil highlights and lowlights is a way of adding multiple tones and shades to your hair colour, as well as creating more depth. Combining different hair colours is also a fantastic way of developing your own unique look and delivering stunning results in the process.

We also use mesh as a technique to scatter highlights & lowlights throughout the hair which offers a subtle, natural look as the colour grows out as there is no definite line between colour and regrowth.

Covering Grey Hair

We can blend your grey roots or disguise white hairs in with the rest of your hair colour to give your hair renewed depth and shine. Glossing can also be used to add tone to your hair colour and even camouflage grey hair. 

If you are looking to embrace your grey hair colour and are worried that it may age you, then think again. Visit the team of experienced hair designers at Fringe Benefits hair salon in Gloucester who will work with your natural grey hair colour and leave you looking gorgeous and feeling confident.

Ammonia-Free Hair Colour & Glossing

The Shades EQ semi-permanent hair colours are ammonia-free so are gentle on the hair. They do not lift hair colour to a lighter shade but can be used in a variety of hair colouring techniques including:

  • Blending grey hair colour
  • Enhancing natural hair tones for a glass like shine
  • Neutralising unwanted yellow or brassy tones
  • Corrective hair colour services

Why not book a consultation with our colour technicians to find out more?  We’ll be pleased to advise on how we can make the look work for you.

We are also experts at correcting hair colour disasters you may have experienced through home dye kits or elsewhere. Check out our hair colour correction page. 

I’ve had my hair coloured before without any reactions – will I still need a skin test before my appointment?

«

Yes. We require a quick skin test at least 48 hours before your colour appointment, even if you’ve had your hair coloured elsewhere without any previous reaction. Sensitivities can develop over time, so this is an important safety step before your colour service.

I’m not sure whether balayage, highlights or a full colour would suit me best – can you help me decide?

«

Absolutely. During your complimentary colour consultation, we’ll assess your existing colour and hair condition, discuss the result you’d like and consider your lifestyle and maintenance preferences. We’ll then recommend the most suitable colour technique, shades and placement for you.

I want a big colour change but I’m worried about damaging my hair – is it possible to keep my hair healthy?

«

In many cases, yes. Your hair’s condition is an important part of our colour consultation. We’ll assess its strength and previous colour history before recommending the most appropriate approach. Depending on your starting point, we may suggest professional treatments or building towards your desired colour over several appointments to help maintain the condition, strength and shine of your hair.

How often will I need to come back to maintain my hair colour?

«

This depends on the type of colour you choose, how quickly your hair grows and how much maintenance you’re comfortable with. Root colour and grey coverage generally need more regular appointments, while balayage and other blended, lived-in colour techniques can be lower maintenance. We’ll talk you through your expected maintenance during your consultation so you know what to expect.

Can you colour my hair if I’ve used box dye or coloured it at home recently?

«

ossibly, but it’s important to tell us exactly what has been used on your hair. Home colour can affect how professional colour develops and may influence what can safely be achieved. We’ll assess your hair and colour history and give you honest advice about the best way to work towards your desired result. Some colour changes may need to be achieved gradually rather than in one appointment.

Can I still have colour services if my hair is already damaged?

«

Often, yes, but the condition of your hair comes first. We’ll assess whether your hair is suitable for further chemical services and may recommend a strengthening or conditioning treatment before or alongside your colour. Where appropriate, INNOluxe can also be added to a colour service to help protect and strengthen the hair.

How should I prepare my hair before coming in for a colour appointment at Fringe Benefits?

«

We recommend arriving with clean, dry hair unless we’ve advised otherwise. It’s also helpful to bring screenshots of colours and styles you love and even examples you don’t like, as these can help us understand exactly what you have in mind. If you’ve used box dye or had previous colour work elsewhere, please let us know so we can take this into account when planning your colour.

Can you help me blend my grey rather than completely cover it?

«

Yes. Transitional grey hair colouring can gradually soften the contrast between your natural grey and existing colour. Using techniques such as highlights, lowlights and glossing, we can create a more blended, natural-looking result while your grey grows through.
