Uneven Hair Colours
Uneven tones, patchy regrowth, and mismatched shades are common problems when colouring your hair at home or having it done by an inexperienced stylist. You might notice unwanted warm tones, harsh bands where colour has overlapped, or a lack of consistency from root to tip.
At Soul Hairdressing, we take a precise approach to correcting uneven hair colour. Our skilled colourists will examine your hair strand by strand and apply different techniques and tones to balance out the colour. Perhaps we will need to tone down brassiness, lift darker areas, or neutralise unwanted warmth - whatever is required, we will create a bespoke plan to blend and harmonise your shade for a more natural, even result.
Uneven colour can occur for many reasons – incorrect application, leaving dye on too long or not long enough, using the wrong strength of developer, or even applying colour over hair that has been previously coloured without understanding the underlying pigments.
Our team understands the science of hair colour and will work methodically to correct every section with care. We may use lowlight and highlight techniques, toning treatments, or gradual colour adjustments depending on what your hair needs. The end result? A beautifully even, healthy-looking colour that suits your complexion and style.
Repairing Dry & Damaged Hair
Over-processed hair can become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage, especially after bleaching or repeated colour treatments. In some cases, colour fades quickly or appears dull due to damage caused by UV exposure, heat styling, or swimming in chlorinated or salty water.
Before we attempt to apply any more colour, it’s essential to repair and strengthen your hair. Our priority will be to improve the health of your hair using high-performance professional products tailored to your hair type and needs.
We also offer OLAPLEX – a revolutionary hair treatment that repairs broken bonds in the hair structure. OLAPLEX can dramatically improve strength and elasticity while preparing your hair for future colour work. With the right care and attention, we can restore softness, shine, and vitality to even the most stressed-out hair.
Our approach always begins with a thorough consultation and assessment of the hair’s porosity and elasticity. We’ll recommend a care plan that might include multiple intensive treatments to rebuild strength and hydration over time.
Our aim is never to compromise your hair’s integrity – we want you to leave the salon not only with beautiful colour, but with healthy, manageable hair that looks and feels its best. With regular in-salon treatments and personalised home care recommendations, we can nurse even the most damaged hair back to health.
Hair Colour Changes
If your hair colour isn’t what you expected – maybe it’s too dark, too light, too warm or simply not “you” – don’t worry. We’re here to help you make a positive change. Whether you want to reverse a previous colour, tone down an unwanted shade, or transition to a new, more flattering colour, we’ll guide you through the safest and most effective options.
Sometimes this means gradually removing or lightening the old colour and then toning or recolouring the hair in stages. We’ll always be honest with you about what’s achievable in one sitting and what may require a longer-term approach to protect the condition of your hair.
Changing your hair colour often involves more than just applying a new shade – it requires technical knowledge, precision, and careful planning. For example, going from dark to light often requires a process of colour removal or lightening over several appointments, combined with conditioning treatments to maintain hair health.
Likewise, if you're looking to return to your natural shade or try something completely new, we will create a step-by-step plan tailored to your goals. We’ll discuss everything from undertones and skin tone compatibility to maintenance and longevity, so you leave with a colour you love – and know how to keep it looking great between visits.
