Why choose us

Colour that fits your hair—and your life.

We start with a conversation about your current shade, previous colour and the result you have in mind. Your stylist explains what is achievable, how the condition of your hair affects the plan and what upkeep to expect. We use professional colour systems, including Goldwell, and choose the approach for your hair rather than promising one formula for everyone. Larger changes may need more than one appointment. Wigs & Warpaint is rated 4.6 stars from 802 Google reviews. Bring your inspiration photographs and questions—we’ll help turn them into a realistic colour plan.

Our solutions

Colour services, chosen for your hair

Root Colour & Regrowth

A precise root touch-up that blends seamlessly with your existing colour. Ideal for maintaining your shade between full appointments.

Full Head Colour

Refresh or change the overall shade of your hair. We assess your starting colour and previous treatments first: going lighter may require a separate lightening service or a staged colour correction.

Toner & Gloss

Refine the tone of previously lightened hair or refresh your colour and shine. Your stylist selects the appropriate formula and explains how the tone will fade and when to return.

Colour Correction

Expert correction for uneven colour, banding, unwanted tones or previous salon mistakes. Requires a consultation to assess your hair and plan the process.

Grey Coverage & Softer Blending

Choose between more complete coverage and a softer blend that works with your natural grey. We discuss the finish you prefer, the contrast at your roots and the maintenance you can commit to.

Blondes, Highlights & Balayage

Add brightness or dimension with a lightening service planned around your starting colour. Placement, toner and upkeep are agreed during consultation; see our dedicated balayage guide for more detail.

Brunettes, Coppers & Creative Colour

From richer brunette tones to copper, red and expressive fashion shades, we plan colour around your starting point and condition. Some shades require pre-lightening, and vivid tones can need more frequent refreshing.

Your Appointment

Your colour appointment Serious results.

First visit or fiftieth — here's what to expect.

Step 01: Consultation & colour history — Wigs & Warpaint process

Step 02: Your personalised colour service — Wigs & Warpaint process
02

Your personalised colour service

Your colourist chooses the placement and formula for your agreed result, then checks development and rinses as appropriate. Toners, treatments and finishing services are discussed as part of your appointment plan.

Step 03: Finish, aftercare & next visit — Wigs & Warpaint process
03

Finish, aftercare & next visit

We review the colour with you and explain washing, heat protection and maintenance. Your stylist recommends a realistic time for your next root, toner or colour appointment.

Planning a colour change?

Tell us about home colour, henna, bleach, straightening and any previous reactions before your appointment. An inspiration picture is a helpful starting point, but the same shade can look different on another head of hair.

We explain any allergy alert testing required by the colour manufacturer and whether a strand test is appropriate. For a major change or colour correction, speak to us before booking so we can allow the right appointment time.

Your quote should cover the agreed colour work and clarify whether toner, treatments, cutting or finishing are included. We’ll discuss any change to the plan before proceeding.

Professional Goldwell colour

We work with professional Goldwell colour as part of our salon colour services. Topchic is Goldwell’s permanent colour range, designed for lasting colour and grey coverage. The right shade and formula depend on your natural base, existing colour and the finish you want.

Permanent colour, lightening and toning do different jobs. A rich brunette refresh is a different appointment from lifting dark colour to blonde, and a toner refines the result rather than replacing the lightening stage. We explain the approach before you commit.

Bring Goldwell campaign images or other inspiration to your consultation. Supplier images show colour ideas; your achievable result depends on your own hair.

Your colour. Your upkeep.

Tell us how often you realistically want to visit. Full grey coverage can create a more noticeable regrowth line, while softer blending and carefully placed dimension may give a gentler grow-out. Your natural colour, haircut and styling routine all affect the choice.

If you want brightness with a softer root, ask about highlights or balayage. If your lengths look faded but your roots are fine, a toner or gloss may be the better conversation. We will help you choose the service rather than asking you to work out the technical name yourself.

Keep your colour looking good between visits

Your home routine should suit both your colour and the condition of your hair. We recommend an appropriate shampoo and conditioner, explain any treatment you need and show you how heat protection fits into styling. Choose a manageable routine you will actually use.

Avoid excessive heat and follow the washing and care advice given for your service. Purple shampoo is not a universal colour fix: ask before using toning products, particularly on porous or very light hair.

We stock professional aftercare and our own Wigs & Warpaint range. Your stylist can explain which products suit your hair, how much to use and when to book your next refresh.

Your colour booking, made clear

For a regular repeat service, book online using the appointment recommended by your stylist. For a first colour visit, major change or correction, call 0114 270 0336 so we can arrange the right consultation and allow enough time.

We will explain the quoted colour work and whether toner, treatments, cutting and finishing are included. Please read the deposit and cancellation terms shown for your booking before confirming.

FAQs

Hair colour questions. Clear answers.

Not on the list? Call us on 0114 270 0336 — we'd rather talk it through than have you guessing, Leave a message with the AI receptionist if we cant pick up, We will get right back!

Root colour starts from £55, full-head colour from £70 and toner from £45. Colour correction is quoted after consultation. Your total depends on the stylist, hair length and density, previous colour and work required. Ask us to confirm whether toner, treatments, cutting and finishing are included in your booking so you know the full price before we begin.

If you are new to colour with us, want a significant change or need colour correction, contact the salon before choosing a service online. We discuss your colour history, assess your hair and agree the result, appointment time and price. We also arrange any required tests. For a routine repeat service, book the appointment your stylist recommended; if you are unsure, call 0114 270 0336.

Yes, patch tests must be completed at least 48 hours before your colour appointment. This is a safety requirement we take seriously — no exceptions. You can pop into the salon or we can arrange one during a consultation.

Not always. Previously coloured hair can lift unevenly, and repeated dark colour may take several appointments to work through. Your starting shade, condition and strand-test result help us plan what is achievable. We may recommend an intermediate shade, a gradual change or a different goal rather than push fragile hair further. Bring photographs of your current hair and inspiration, and tell us about all home dyes and chemical treatments.

Yes. Full coverage and softer grey blending create different results. We discuss how much grey you have, where it is most visible and how often you want to maintain the colour. Permanent root colour may suit fuller coverage, while a softer blend or strategically placed lighter and darker pieces may suit a less solid result. Your colourist will explain suitable options and the likely regrowth.

Permanent colour changes the overall shade or covers regrowth and grey hair, subject to the formula and starting point. A toner refines tone, often after lightening: it can soften unwanted warmth or create a warmer, cooler or more neutral finish. Toner does not replace the lightening needed to turn dark hair blonde. Your stylist explains which service your hair needs and how the tone will fade.

Timing depends on whether you need roots, a full-head colour, lightening, toning or corrective work, plus any cut and finish. A major change may need a longer appointment or several visits. Contact us with your current colour and goal so we can reserve the right time. Please do not book a short root appointment for a full transformation.

Many clients return around every 4–6 weeks for root colour, but the right interval depends on growth, contrast with the natural colour and the result you want to maintain. Softer blends and placed highlights may allow longer between full appointments, with a toner or gloss in between if needed. We recommend a schedule for your hair rather than asking everyone to return at the same interval.

Bring a few inspiration photographs and be ready to discuss previous salon colour, home dyes, henna, bleach, straightening and perms. Tell us about any previous reactions before treatment and complete any testing we arrange. Follow your stylist’s washing and product instructions; avoid arriving with heavy product build-up. If you have extensions fitted, let us know when booking so we can plan appropriately.

Please contact us as soon as you notice a concern so we can understand it and arrange a review. Call 0114 270 0336 and, where helpful, share clear photographs taken in natural light. Speak to us before trying to correct the colour at home or having another salon change it. We want the chance to assess your hair and discuss the appropriate next step with you.
