Blonde hair in Cairns, at a glance
Blonde depends on technique more than any other colour: how far hair can be lightened safely, how evenly, and how it is toned afterwards. A colourist who does blondes every day is often the difference between bright and brassy.

Common questions
- How often does blonde need toning?
- Toner fades with washing, usually over four to eight weeks. Many people book a short toner or gloss between lightening appointments to stop the shade turning brassy or yellow.
- Can dark hair go platinum?
- Often, but rarely in one sitting, and not always safely. It depends on the condition of the hair and any colour already on it. A good colourist will test a strand first and tell you where to stop.
