Ombre
Ombre hair is one of the most sought-after colouring techniques for those who want a natural, dimensional look without constant upkeep. A seamless gradient from roots to ends - it sounds simple, but the result depends entirely on the skill behind it. At PIED-DE-POULE in London, our colourists craft every ombre to complement your natural tone, face shape, and lifestyle.
What Is Ombre Hair?
Ombre is a colouring method based on a smooth or contrasting transition between two or more shades. The word itself is French - ombré means "shaded." Unlike traditional highlights, hair colour ombre creates a natural, dimensional effect that grows out beautifully and requires fewer touch-ups.
It suits every hair type, length, and tone - making it one of the most versatile and enduring techniques in professional colouring.
How It Works: Key Features and Benefits
Ombre works by applying colour progressively from mid-lengths to ends, leaving the roots in their natural or base shade. The result is depth, movement, and a sun-kissed finish.
Why clients choose ombre:
- Natural-looking grow-out - roots blend seamlessly
- Adds visual volume and dimension to hair
- Works on short, long, curly, and straight hair
- Customisable: soft gradient or bold contrast
- Low maintenance between appointments
Popular variations include soft blonde ombre, reverse ombre, sharp colour transitions, and coloured ombre in shades like pink, purple, or copper.
What's Included in an Ombre Service at PIED-DE-POULE
Every ombre appointment at PIED-DE-POULE begins with a personal consultation - your stylist will assess your natural colour, hair condition, and desired result before touching a single strand.
The service includes:
- Colour consultation and shade selection
- Application of the ombre technique (hand-painted or foil, depending on the look)
- Processing and toning for a seamless finish
- Rinse and nourishing conditioning treatment
- Blow-dry and styling
For the healthiest result, we recommend pairing ombre with a hair treatment to restore moisture and strength after colouring. Ask your stylist about combining services for a complete hair colouring experience in one appointment.
What Procedures to Combine With
To extend the life of your colour and keep hair in great condition, consider booking alongside:
- Hair treatments - Tokio Inkarami, Olaplex, or deep conditioning masks
- Toning - to refresh or adjust the shade between appointments
- Haircut or trim - for a complete style refresh
Blowdry or styling - leave the salon looking and feeling your best

I visited PDP for the Balmain hair treatment (we tried to solve the problem of dry hair after lighting into blonde). Hairdresser’s name is Iia.
