Root Tint and T-bar

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess your regrowth, existing colour, and any grey coverage needs. The stylist then applies colour carefully to the root area (typically 1–2 inches of regrowth) to match or subtly adjust your existing shade. For the T-bar portion, foils or hand-painted highlights are placed along the main parting and down the sides around your face, creating soft, face-framing brightness that enhances your haircut and overall look.

• Colour is mixed to match your current tone and cover any grey
• T-bar highlights focus brightness where you see it most: at the part and around the face
• After processing, colour is rinsed and hair is shampooed, conditioned, and styled
• Typical appointment length is around 1.5–2 hours depending on hair density and regrowth

Who This Service Suits

This service is designed as a maintenance and refresh option for clients who already have an overall colour established. It's perfect if you wear your hair down with a defined part most of the time and want to extend the life of your full colour or highlights without redoing everything.

• Best for maintaining existing colour rather than making dramatic changes
• Ideal for clients with 1–2 inches of regrowth who want even tone from roots to ends
• Suits anyone looking to keep brightness at the top and front between full-head highlight sessions
• Not suitable for major colour transformations or correcting uneven previous dye jobs—those require separate colour correction services

Aftercare and Longevity

To preserve your refreshed colour and brightness, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and avoid harsh sulfates. Wait at least 24–48 hours after your appointment before washing to allow the colour to settle and reduce early fading.

• Minimise heat styling where possible to protect vibrancy and hair health
• Regular deep conditioning or bond-building treatments help counteract dryness from repeated colouring
• Most clients return for root tint services every 4–8 weeks depending on regrowth rate and grey coverage needs
• T-bar highlight top-ups are typically scheduled in between full highlight sessions to maintain dimension
