Full coverage
Permanent colour covers every grey hair. The result is even, but the regrowth line shows, so roots are usually done every 4–6 weeks.
Grey guide
Cover your greys, blend them, or go silver.
There are three ways to handle grey hair, and each changes how often you see your colourist. Here is what each one involves, which shades make regrowth softer, and how to try them on your own photo.

Three ways to go.
Grey blending
A demi-permanent gloss, lowlights or fine highlights soften the contrast between grey and your colour, so regrowth is far less obvious. Visits can stretch to 8–12 weeks.
Going silver
Toners and glosses brighten natural grey and silver, and highlights help blend the grow-out phase. Pearl and platinum toners keep it from turning yellow.
Shades that forgive regrowth.
The closer a shade is to the colour of grey hair, the softer the regrowth line. Very dark shades show it fastest.

What to ask for.
- Say how much grey you have, roughly what share and where: it decides the formula.
- Say how often you want to come in. That decides coverage or blending.
- Ask about a gloss between appointments to keep blended colour fresh.
- Going silver? Ask for a plan for the grow-out months, often highlights or lowlights to blend the line.
Before you book
Does semi-permanent colour cover grey?
It blends rather than covers: greys pick up a softer tint. For full coverage, colourists use permanent colour.
Will the preview show my greys covered?
The studio recolours the hair it detects, including greys, so it shows the shade you are aiming for. The salon result depends on how much grey you have and the formula.
Will my real colour look like the preview?
Take it as a direction, not a promise. The salon result depends on your current colour, your hair’s condition, the products and your colourist, and the light in your photo changes how a shade reads.
The demo model is an AI-generated photo. Previews show a direction, not a guaranteed salon result.
