Full Hair Colour in Lisbon
Our full hair colour service transforms your look from root to tip with a custom-blended formula tailored to your desired shade and skin tone. Including a thorough consultation, professional application, and a finishing blow-dry, it is a complete colour experience from start to finish.
Full hair colour is an all-over application from root to tip: consultation, mixing, application, processing, wash, and blow-dry. It is the service for a change of base, grey coverage, or a refresh of a single tone. The colourists are certified in the L'Oréal and Wella systems we use in the salon. The service starts at €45. Allow 2 to 3 hours, more when the hair is long or dense.
A large lift, such as dark brown to blonde, often needs more than one visit so the fibre stays intact. We will say that in the consultation rather than promise it in a single sitting. If you want brightness without moving the base, highlights or balayage may be the better plan.
At home, use a colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and go easy on high heat. Sun and frequent washing fade the tone. A gloss between full colours restores shine without another all-over application. We can point you to products in the shop that match the formula used on the day.
Grey coverage, a root that has grown out, and a full change of shade are all booked as this service, with the price confirmed after we see the hair. The salon is at Rua Correia Teles, 55A, Campo de Ourique, Tuesday to Friday 09:00–18:00 and Saturday 09:00–16:00.
A full colour visit runs in a fixed order: consultation, mixing the formula, application from root to tip, processing, rinse, and the blow-dry that is part of the service. We do not start mixing until we have seen the hair and agreed the depth, including whether grey coverage is the goal. A big jump, such as dark brown toward blonde, is planned across more than one visit when one sitting would over-process the fibre. That is a normal outcome of the consultation, not a refusal. The appointment is usually 2 to 3 hours and starts at €45; long or dense hair costs more, and we say the number before the colour is mixed. L'Oréal and Wella are the professional systems the colourists are certified in. The formula is chosen for your hair, which is also why the separate brand pages exist for people who already know which system they want. At home, colour-safe washing and less heat do more for the tone than any single treatment. When it looks dull but the root is still fine, book a gloss rather than another all-over colour.
Book this when the base itself has to change or the grey needs covering from root to tip. Book highlights or balayage when the base can stay and you want light in the lengths. The two brand pages, L’Oréal and Wella, are the same full-colour service restricted to that system. Starting at €45 includes the blow-dry. A second session for a big lift is a plan we write down, not a surprise at the basin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a full hair colour include?
Our full hair colour service covers all-over application from root to tip, including a consultation, colour mixing, application, processing, wash, and blow-dry.
How long does it take?
Allow 2–3 hours depending on your hair length, thickness, and the technique required.
Can I go from dark to light in one session?
Significant colour lifts (e.g. dark brown to blonde) may require multiple sessions to protect hair integrity. We'll advise an honest plan during consultation.
How do I maintain my colour at home?
Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoid excessive heat styling and use a UV protective product if exposed to sunlight. We can recommend products from our shop.
How much does a full colour cost?
Full hair colour starts at €45, including the consultation, application, wash, and blow-dry. Long or dense hair, and a more complex formula, can cost more. We confirm that before we mix the colour.
Do you use L'Oréal and Wella?
Yes. The colourists are certified in both professional systems. The formula is chosen for your hair in the consultation, not from a single brand page.
