Why is Wella Hair Colour Better?

Wella hair colours have been specially selected for their:-

• extensive durability
• convincing colour shine
• outstanding coverage power (no unwanted colour variations)
• best possible care effects
• UK's best selling hair colour
• Technologically superior hair colouring
• P&G research continually looking for further improvements.

We stock the entire Wella Colour Range of approx 200 colours with millions of variations at our finger tips, we can instantly create unique colours which will better compliment your skin tones and natural colouring. Most salons will stock only a core selection of 50 or so tubes of hair colour and will mix anything a bit different in a bowl - we stock EVERY COLOUR to ensure that we can consistently deliver the perfect colour for you everytime.

1. Why does your stylist give you the same colour everytime? When you've told him it's a bit light for you? Could it be they don't stock the whole range?
2. Like the colour you had last time? Can your salon make it EXACTLY the same again? Is your stylist scratching his head trying to remember what mix they did for you? Our stylist record your colour as a Wella formula so that any ColourNation stylist can recreate the same colour for you next time.
3. Want it a little darker than last time? Can your salon a) make that EXACT colour again and b) make it a shade darker? It'll actually be their best guess with a lot of luck mixed in. By stocking the entire Wella range we can ensure maximum flexibility when delivering client colour.
4. Want multi-dimensional, life like, highlights? Advanced Wella Colour technology means perfect results everytime.

Introducing the Professionals

ColourNation Professional Stylists are all trained to an advanced level in hair colouring. They have the full array of Wella Hair Colour technologies at their finger tips and a team of dedicated professional colourists for additional support. All to ensure that you get the exact colour to suit your needs.

At ColourNation we do A LOT of colour. We've seen pretty much every request now (although who knows what tomorrow will bring). We've built a strong reputation for amazingly vibrant and life like highlights and tints. We've equally done the wacky, white at the front/ black at the back, reds, pinks, blues, etc etc. It certainly keeps us challenged and learning new techniques all of which helps us better serve you and your needs.

Finally at ColourNation we pride ourselves on being friendly, approachable and unpretentious. Many customers come to us who have never had hair colour before (if this is your first time you should have a patch test see below). It can be a scary process but we're here to walk your through each step of the way. No question is too silly (just check our forums), we all had to ask once. ;-)

Main types of hair colour

There are several type of hair colour available:-

• Highlights - Full Head – All over highlights using foils and our state of the art Wella hair Colour technology. A full Head of highlights will give you an amazing natural multi-dimensional look. We'll also (unlike most other salons) use more than one colour to achieve this look - we can easily mix shades lighter and darker to give you a real three dimensional natural look. You'll absolutely love it.
• Highlights Half Head – Half the amount of foils used for a full head of highlights. This will still give you the multi-dimensional look and again we'll use tones to blend your highlights.
• Highlights T-bar - Also known as a ¼ head where the central parting and front fringe colour is refreshed and highlighted (imagine a ‘T’ shape when seen from above). This is great if your roots are starting to show or you just want to refresh your look - everyone will think you just had another full head when really you just refreshed your colour.
• Floodlighting (1 foil) – one foil highlight added for dramatic effect - it's a great way to try out highlights to see if you like the idea. Highlights start here!
• Flying Colours – Freehand colour that is painted onto random pieces of hair suitable for shorter hair styles. This may also be known as a shoe shine and will normally last until the next cut. Again a great way to try out colour to see if it's for you.
• Tint - An all over permanent colour that lasts between 6-10 weeks. (Pssst, use this to cover gray hair.)
• Re-growth - Colouring of roots after having a permanent tint to refresh the look.
• Semi-Tint - a semi permanent tint which will wash out after 8-10 washes - if you're scared of colour try this to see if you like it.
• Toner / Colour Balancing - sometimes the hair colours can need a little finesse to blend naturally into your existing hair colour - toner / colour balancing is our magic in these cases.
• Bleach - if you want very light coloured hair we can bleach your hair.
• Colour Correction / Change – changing colours or correcting a previous salon’s colours (or home colour attempt) can be time consuming and requires a great deal of skill. Results cannot be guaranteed because we won't always know exactly what has been used before. That said we can normally fix hair disasters.
• Combinations - Sometimes a combination of colour techniques may be needed to achieve your desired look. Highlights and a toner/ Colour Balancing, a bleach before trying a lighter colour on darker hair or a tint before highlights.

What ever you and your stylist choose rest assured that you're in very safe hands :-)

Strand Test

A strand test ensures you know exactly how your colour will look on your hair. It's available at £4/strand and you can read more here.

Patch Test

Hair colouring is a very safe process today but some people may have an allergic reaction, if you have any concerns, we recommend a Patch tests which are available FREE of charge please lets us know when booking. A patch test is simply a little hair colour applied behind the ear (where skin is more sensitive) to test if there is any reaction. You must book in for a patch test at least 48 hours before you colour service so that any allergy has time to surface.
