Hair Colouring Salon Services - London

Hair Colouring Services We Offer

At PIED-DE-POULE, we offer only professional techniques - each designed for a different starting point, strand type, and desired result. Not sure which service you need? The right approach depends on what you're starting with and what you want to achieve. Our colourists will help you identify it during your consultation.

Highlights - Flat, one-dimensional strands are usually the reason clients come to us for highlights. By lifting selected sections - particularly around the face - highlights restore brightness and contrast without touching the base. A natural starting point for first-time clients, and a reliable way to refresh locks that have lost their depth over time.

Airtouch - For clients with fine or previously treated strands who want the most seamless result possible, airtouch is the most precise option we offer. The technique creates a blend so gradual that regrowth becomes almost undetectable - and the interval between appointments is typically the longest of any lightening service.

Balayage - The most common reason clients choose balayage is low maintenance. Pigment is placed to work with your natural growth pattern, so there is no visible regrowth line as it grows out. Well suited to clients with a busy schedule who want to visit the salon every few months rather than every few weeks.

Babylights - Some clients want a result that is genuinely undetectable as a technique - strands that simply look healthier, brighter, and more alive. Babylights achieve exactly that. The finest possible highlights are placed throughout, creating a natural luminosity rather than defined sections or contrast. Particularly effective on fine lengths.

Ombre - Where balayage blends, ombre contrasts. If you want a deliberate, defined transition from a darker root to lighter ends - a result that reads as a conscious style choice rather than natural variation - ombre creates that effect with intention. Works especially well for clients who prefer a stronger visual statement.

Shatush - For clients with dark strands who want lightness that looks entirely uncontrived - as though the sun did the work rather than a colourist - shatush is the right technique. The result has a raw, natural quality that sits differently to any foil-based method, and suits those who want their look to appear entirely their own.

Still unsure? Bring a reference photo - our team will assess your strands and recommend the right service before anything is applied.

Hair Colouring for Men

Many male clients come to us knowing exactly what they want - others simply know they want to look sharper without it being obvious they've had anything done. Either way, the approach is the same: a precise, considered result with minimal upkeep.

Grey Camouflage (Blending) - Softens the contrast between silver and natural tones - the result looks authentic rather than covered, and grows out without a visible line.

Tone & Texture Refinement - For lengths that have lost depth or warmth over time. We restore a clean, consistent shade, eliminate unwanted brassiness, and bring back a healthy lustre.

Bespoke Colour & Creative Shades - For clients who want something more deliberate - from full coverage to sun-bleached highlights or cool-toned platinum. Every result is tailored to your condition and carried out without compromising its health.

Every service begins with a consultation to establish what you're after and how to achieve it with the least maintenance going forward.

We also offer men's manicure and eyebrow shaping at both London locations.
