More information

What's Included

A considered colour service focused on predictable, natural results.

  • Personal consultation to agree shade, coverage and maintenance.
  • Skin test for new colour clients when required.
  • Shade matching for grey coverage, tonal shift or deeper richness.
  • Precise application to roots or full head, depending on your aim.
  • Processing time monitored for even, reliable results.
  • Cleanse and conditioner to balance and smooth.
  • Advice on aftercare and a plan for your next visit.
  • Option to add a cut and finish for a complete refresh.

Who It's For

Good for anyone who wants reliable grey coverage or a classic, all-over shade that looks natural in every light. Ideal if you prefer clean regrowth and a colour that works with your routine.

Suited to professionals, freelancers and busy parents who want polished hair with minimal faff. If you are after significant lightening or multi-tonal dimension, highlights or balayage may be a better fit.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 120 to 150 minutes for consultation, application and processing. First-time clients should factor in a quick skin test and consultation ahead of the appointment.

Root retouch visits are often quicker than a first full-head tint. Add time if booking a cut and finish in the same visit.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Wait 48 hours before your first wash to let the colour settle. Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus heat protection when styling. Limit hot water and avoid harsh clarifying shampoos.

Top up roots every 4 to 6 weeks for full grey coverage, or 6 to 8 weeks if your regrowth is slower.

Protect hair from sun and chlorine. A weekly nourishing mask helps keep colour looking fresh and hair feeling soft.

    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.

    I have been benefitting from the hair care of Yvonne and Debbie for more years than I care to remember. I am always welcomed as a crazy haired woman, with awful roots, and I am turned out time after time with a gorgeous hairdo that is just right for me!! Thank you wonderful ladies.

    I have been going for years. Everyone so friendly and professional. Excellent service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect from a permanent tint?
All-over colour or reliable grey coverage that will not wash out. We tailor the shade for a natural look with shine and even tone. Application is careful to respect hair health.
How long will the colour last and how often will I need a top-up?
Permanent colour stays until it grows out. Most clients retouch roots every 4 to 6 weeks, or 6 to 8 weeks with slower regrowth. We will agree a plan that suits your routine.
Will it cover grey hair completely?
Yes, formulas can deliver 100% coverage or softer blending. We match the level of coverage to your preference and hair type for a natural finish.
Do I need a skin test before colour?
A quick skin test is required for new colour clients or if it has been more than six months since your last tint. Please arrange it at least 48 hours before your appointment.
Can I add a cut or blow-dry to the same appointment?
Yes, many clients have both on the same visit. If you are new to colour or would like a change you will need to book in for a free consultation with Yvonne our colour specialist before making your appointment.
