Brunette
Brunette and Dimensional Colour in Malvern
Dark hair goes wrong in one specific way: it goes flat. A single solid depth absorbs light, and the result reads heavier and older than intended.
Our Malvern colourists build brunettes in more than one tone so the colour keeps depth without losing movement.
Who this service suits
- Natural brunettes wanting shine and richness rather than a colour change
- Anyone whose dark colour has gone flat or solid
- Clients returning to their natural depth after being blonde
- Faded or brassy brunettes needing a re-tone
- Adding subtle dimension without committing to lightening
- Anyone wanting a lower-maintenance colour with visible shine
Prices
Every service is priced by the experience level of the stylist you book. The standard of work is the same at every level. Your final price also depends on hair length, thickness, starting colour, the product required and the complexity of the work, and we confirm it with you before major colour work begins.

Before we begin
The consultation
We will look at how your colour behaves in natural light, where it has faded and where it has built up.
Colour build-up on the ends from repeated all-over application is the most common cause of a flat brunette, and it is corrected differently from a simple re-colour.

Maintenance
- Most brunette clients return every six to ten weeks depending on regrowth.
- A gloss between colour appointments keeps shine and stops the tone drifting warm.
- We will avoid pulling colour through the ends every visit, which is what causes build-up in the first place.

Questions about brunette and dimensional colour
Why does my dark colour look flat?
Usually because the same colour has been pulled through the lengths at every appointment, building up density on the ends. Adding a second tone, or correcting the build-up first, is what restores dimension.
Can I get dimension without going lighter?
Yes. Lowlights, glossing and tonal work all create dimension without lifting the base.
How do I stop my brunette going brassy?
A gloss between colour appointments is the most effective control, along with limiting heat and using the right home care. We will recommend what your hair needs at your appointment.
