More information
What's Included
A complete, tailored colour service from consultation to finish.
- Personal consultation to agree shade, placement and maintenance plan.
- Bespoke freehand lightening; foils used where extra lift is needed.
- Root melt or smudge if required to soften the transition.
- Appropriate protective care throughout the service.
- Blow-dry and styling to reveal your new colour.
- Aftercare advice and a suggested maintenance schedule.
Who It's For
Ideal if you want dimension without obvious regrowth and colour that looks good every day. Great for anyone who prefers fewer salon visits and an easy routine.
Works on most hair from dark blonde to brunette and can soften early greys or blend previous colour. Suitable for straight, wavy and curly textures.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow around 3 to 3.5 hours, depending on your starting shade, hair length and thickness. First visits may take a little longer to agree your plan before we start.
A consultation is required to establish your plan with our colourist.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use colour safe shampoo and conditioner, a weekly hydrating mask, and heat protection when styling. For cooler blondes, a purple shampoo can help maintain tone.
We recommend refreshing 3 - 4 times annually.
Protect your colour from UV and chlorine on holidays, rinse after swimming, and keep heat styling moderate to preserve shine and condition.

I’ve been getting my hair done at Butler & Lawler for a while now and it is always a great experience. Yvonne is a master or colour, even when it’s growing out it still looks natural, and Debbie couldn’t give a bad cut if she tried, she’s also great with tips on how to manage your hair at home. Yvonne and Debbie are also really good company and conversation flows easily. I don’t know the rest of the staff so well but everyone is polite and friendly. I always get nice compliments about my hair after a visit to Butler & Lawler and can highly recommend the salon.

As always I have a head of hair that is perfectly coloured by Yvonne. As Yvonne will not do anything that she does not feel will look good on you.
