How long does full head color take?

Most sessions are completed within 1.5 hours, including consultation, application, development time, and a blowdry. Exact timing depends on length and thickness.

What is the full head colour price at PIED-DE-POULE?

Services start from £95, depending on length and any add-ons. Full head tinting is generally more affordable than highlights, as everything is applied in one process without foils.

How often should I refresh my colour?

Roots typically need topping up every 4 to 5 weeks. Lengths and ends can be refreshed as needed to keep the hue looking vibrant.

Is full head permanent colour damaging to hair?

It can affect condition, particularly if your strands are already treated, dry, or fragile. With professional application and proper aftercare at home, the risk is significantly reduced - your stylist will assess everything at consultation and advise accordingly.

Can I combine full head colour with highlights?

Yes - highlights are applied in foils first, then the base tone is applied over the remaining lengths for a multi-dimensional result. You may need more than one visit to reach your desired look.

Why Choose Full Head Of Colour Service?

Grey coverage - Permanent dye delivers consistent, even coverage across all grey strands - root to tip.
Long-lasting, vibrant results - Your tint stays rich and true for up to 8 weeks - far longer than semi-permanent options.
Bespoke shade, mixed just for you - Your stylist blends your individual tint on the day to perfectly complement you.
More affordable than highlights - Compared to intricate highlights, full head of colour offers a stunning result at a more accessible price point.
Covers everything in one go - One visit, one seamless finish - no patchiness, no missed sections.

What Is Full Head Colour?

Full head colour means applying a single tone uniformly from roots to ends. Using permanent dye, it can cover grey and lift your natural base by up to three levels. If you prefer a subtler result or added shine without a dramatic change, a semi-permanent or gloss option may be recommended by your stylist instead.
Unlike highlights - which paint tint through sections to create contrast - full head permanent colour gives you one seamless, consistent finish all over. You can also combine both services: highlights applied first in foils, followed by a base tone on the remaining lengths, for a multi-dimensional result.

Is Full Head Colour Right for You?

This service is ideal if you:

Have more than 30% grey and want complete coverage
Want to completely change your base tone - lighter or darker
Have short hair and want a precise, clean result
Prefer warm, vibrant tones like copper, auburn, or rich brunette
Want to prep your base before adding highlights at a later visit
Are looking to restore a faded hue and add shine

Important Things to Know:

A skin & patch test is required at least 48 hours before your visit in certain cases - ask our consultant
If you want a drastic change (e.g. very dark to very light), a correction session may be needed first
This service is available for clients aged 16 and over. ID may be required at the salon's discretion
Permanent dye requires more upkeep than semi-permanent - roots typically need topping up every 4–8 weeks

If you're unsure whether this procedure is the right choice for you, we are happy to advise during a free consultation - with no obligation to book.

How Does Full Head Colour Appointment Work

Here's exactly what to expect when you come in for your full head hair colour service:

Book online: Reserve your session in three easy steps via our online booking system.
Consultation: Your stylist will discuss your desired look, assess your condition, and select the perfect tone for you.
Check if you need a patch test: Find out if a skin & patch test is required before your visit.
Shade mixing: Your bespoke tint is mixed fresh on the day - tailored precisely to your individual hue.
Application: Strands are sectioned and dye is applied from roots to tips using a professional brush for even, entire coverage.
Development time: Sit back and relax while the tint develops - this is the perfect time to add an eyebrow tint or eyebrow shaping, so you leave looking totally refreshed.
Rinse, shampoo & condition: Once the dye has developed, your strands are rinsed, shampooed, and conditioned to seal in the result and leave everything smooth. For extra strength and protection, ask your stylist about adding an Olaplex treatment at this stage - ideal for keeping dye-treated strands healthy between visits.
Blowdry & finish: Your stylist will complete your look with an express blowdry - or opt for a full blowdry to really show off your new hue.

Your full head colour session is designed to be relaxed, efficient, and completely tailored to you - with no rushing and no surprises. Most clients are in and out within 1.5 hours, leaving with a vibrant, salon-fresh result and a clear aftercare plan from their stylist.
