Hair colour in Preston, at a glance
A colour appointment can be a regrowth touch-up, a complete change of shade or a gloss to refresh what is already there, and each asks for different skill. What your hair has been through matters as much as the shade you want, because colour already on it decides what is possible in one sitting.

What to look for
- A skin allergy test before permanent colour if you are new to the salon or to the brand. It is a safety step, not a formality.
- A colourist who asks what is already on your hair, including box dye and henna, before quoting a price.
- For grey, ask whether they blend it or cover it. Blending grows out more softly; full coverage needs more frequent regrowth appointments.
- Check whether toner, gloss and a blow-dry are included in the price you were quoted.

Common questions
- How often does hair colour need redoing?
- Permanent colour usually needs its regrowth done every four to eight weeks, sooner when there is strong contrast with your natural shade or a lot of grey to cover. Demi-permanent colour and glosses fade gradually over several weeks, which is why they are often used to refresh colour between full appointments.
- Do I need a patch test?
- Most professional colour brands ask for a skin allergy test around 48 hours before permanent colour, particularly on a first visit or with a new brand. A careful salon will ask for one; it is worth booking rather than skipping.
