What is Hair Colouring?
Hair colouring, also known as hair dyeing, is the practice of changing the colour of human hair. This transformative process involves the use of chemicals or natural products to alter the hair’s pigment, resulting in a new and vibrant shade. Whether you’re looking to cover grey hair, restore your original colour, or simply try out a new look, hair colouring offers endless possibilities. It can be done professionally by a skilled hairdresser or independently at home using hair dye kits. The primary reasons for hair colouring are cosmetic, including covering grey or white hair, creating a specific look, and changing a colour to suit personal preference. With the right hair colour, you can achieve a stunning transformation that enhances your overall appearance.

When it comes to achieving the perfect hair colour, the best colourists know that a personal approach is key. At PIED-DE-POULE, we understand that every individual has unique hair needs, and that’s why we offer a variety of hair colouring techniques tailored to enhance your natural hair. Whether you’re looking to experiment with different hair colours or maintain your current shade, our experts will guide you through the best options to ensure your hair colour complements your style and personality.
In the modern world, there are many hair coloring techniques, each of which is unique and delivers spectacular results. Free hand hair colour techniques are also available, allowing us to create personalized and natural looks. Let’s discuss the most popular ones.
Hair coloring
Coloring can be used to place bright accents, emphasize volume, interesting haircut shapes. This technique uses up to 15 shades of color at the same time. It can cover
- Part of the strands
- The root zone
- Hair from roots to ends
Coloring doesn't require smooth transitions and can effectively utilize contrasting colors. Hair colouring, particularly through the technique of coloring, allows for the creative use of multiple hair colours to achieve a vibrant and dynamic look. This method is especially effective for those looking to make a bold statement or add dimension to their hairstyle. Skilled hair colourists can seamlessly blend up to 15 shades, creating a unique and personalized hair colour that highlights your best features. For those with grey hair, coloring can be an excellent way to blend natural tones with vibrant hues, offering a refreshed appearance. Additionally, modern hair colouring techniques incorporate products designed to nourish hair, ensuring that even damaged hair can be revitalized during the process.
Some modern hair colouring techniques avoid the use of hydrogen peroxide to protect hair and scalp health.
Free hand hair colour highlighting
“Highlighting” is a broad term that encompasses various techniques. What they have in common is the partial lightening principle, as opposed to fully coloring the hair in a light shade. While highlighting focuses on partial lightening, entire head coloring involves applying color to the whole head for a uniform look.
This partial coloring is often used to simulate sun-bleached hair. Different techniques and tone selections allow for achieving different intensities and highlighting effects. Typically, salon clients desire a natural look, as if their hair is always sun-kissed, regardless of the weather.
- Balayage is a highlighting method that creates a seamless transition between the natural and bleached sections of hair. During balayage, the stylist applies the lightener without using foils. This results in less contrasting and more natural-toned strands.
- Shatush is a type of balayage that involves pre-combing the hair before applying the lightener, creating a burnt hair effect.
- Bronzing is an excellent highlighting option for brunettes. Lighter highlights are dispersed throughout dark hair, creating a radiant glow around the face and giving a fresher and younger appearance.
- Ombre - the characteristic feature of this highlighting type is that the tips are either significantly lighter or darker than the roots. To avoid a vulgar look, the coloring should be delicately blended and applied with an understanding of coloring rules. Achieving this effect at home is nearly impossible.
- Airtouch is a technique where the strands to be colored are selected by blowing air from a hairdryer. By applying color to these selected strands, the stylist creates a subtle touch of color on the hair.
There are other techniques or variations of the previously described techniques: California, Venetian, veil highlighting, etc. All of them produce similar effects and are based on the same fundamental principles.
Highlighting is suitable for hair of any length, but the full range of color transitions and shades is best appreciated on hair length from the shoulder blades and beyond.
And of course, it is not recommended to experiment with highlighting at home. Despite its seemingly simple technique, highlighting requires hours of practice and expertise, as demonstrated by the skilled stylists at PIED-DE-POULE beauty salons.
Monochromatic coloring
Monochromatic coloring is considered the most popular type of hair coloring worldwide. It involves dyeing all the hair in a single color, either similar to the original or completely different. With the use of professional hair dyes, you can:
- Make a radical change to your appearance.
- Conceal gray hair.
- Try out a new look.
Regular root touch-ups are essential to maintain a consistent hair color and cover grey hair as it grows, typically requiring 30 to 60 minutes.
Sometimes women dye their hair in their natural color to enhance its shine and brightness. Transitioning from brunette to blonde is also possible, but it is important to consider that it may require multiple visits to the stylist and does not guarantee 100% fulfillment of your expectations. The outcome largely depends on the hair’s natural color and structure.
At PIED-DE-POULE in London, our experienced hair colourists provide exceptional colour services tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re opting for a full head colour or a bespoke colour solution, we use high-quality hair colours to achieve the desired shade while maintaining the health of your hair. Prior to the application, we conduct a thorough consultation and patch test to prevent any potential allergic reactions. Our expert techniques ensure that your new hair colour complements your skin tone and personal style, leaving you with a stunning and refreshed appearance.
Toning
Toning is a procedure similar to monochromatic coloring, but it is considered more gentle. The difference lies in the fact that toning products do not penetrate the hair structure to the same depth as professional hair dye.
However, the tone lasts until the hair comes into contact with water or shampoo, usually lasting until the first or second wash.
Toning is an excellent option for those who want to experiment with different hair colours without committing to a long-term change. This hair colouring technique is ideal for enhancing your natural hair colour or adding a subtle tint, providing a fresh look without the need for a full hair dye. In our salon, we offer a range of toning options that can be customized to match your desired shade. Although the effect is temporary, the gentle nature of toning ensures that your hair remains healthy and vibrant. For those who prefer a softer approach to hair colouring, toning at our salon is the perfect choice to refresh your hair colour with minimal commitment.
Hair coloring for men
Today, men have as much freedom of self-expression as women do. Our professional colorists at cater to men as well. They are skilled in camouflaging gray hair, dyeing or toning hair to achieve the desired shade, taking into account the unique characteristics of men's hair.
If you are looking to try something new, add vibrant colors, or give your usual look a twist, do not hesitate to reach out to us. The qualified and experienced masters at PIED-DE-POULE salons will help you find the best solution.
Choosing the Right Hair Colour
Choosing the right hair colour can be a daunting task, especially with the myriad of options available. It’s essential to consider your skin tone, eye colour, and natural hair colour when selecting a new shade. For instance, if you have a cool skin tone, colours with blue or pink undertones will complement you best, while warm skin tones are enhanced by golden or honey hues. Additionally, your lifestyle and maintenance preferences play a crucial role in your decision. If you prefer a low-maintenance option, techniques like balayage or ombre are ideal as they offer a longer-lasting effect compared to traditional hair colouring methods. At PIED-DE-POULE, our experts are here to guide you through the process, ensuring you choose a hair colour that perfectly matches your style and personality.
