New Clients are required to book a consultation prior to your colour appointment
Semi permanent hair colour is a gentle, low-commitment way to refresh tone, soften first greys and add noticeable shine without a hard regrowth line. Your shade and application are tailored to your hair and routine for natural, polished results that fade softly between visits.
More information
What's Included
A focused service designed for soft, even, natural-looking colour that suits your day-to-day routine.
- Consultation to understand your goals, hair history and maintenance preferences.
- Personalised shade selection to complement skin tone and existing colour.
- Even application for an all-over refresh or targeted blending where needed.
- Timed processing and strand checks for consistent, glossy results.
- Aftercare guidance and a maintenance plan tailored to your routine.
Who It's For
For anyone who wants low-commitment colour that looks polished every day. Ideal for blending up to 50% grey, reviving faded lengths, softening warmth, or adding depth and shine.
Suited to busy schedules and first-time colour clients who prefer a subtle change before moving to permanent options. Also a smart top-up between highlights or balayage appointments.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow 90 to 120 minutes, depending on hair length, density and the finish you choose. Processing times vary by shade and hair condition.
If you are new to colour here, a quick skin test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment. Not sure on shade or coverage? Book a consultation so we can plan your colour and upkeep.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Semi permanent colour fades gradually with washing and sun exposure. Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, reduce heat, and protect hair before swimming to preserve tone and shine.
Most clients refresh every 4 to 6 weeks.
We will recommend home care to support your result, from heat protection to weekly conditioning.

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.
