Covering grey hair

Grey blending is a low-maintenance colouring technique designed to softly blend natural greys with your existing hair colour for a seamless, natural-looking result. Unlike full coverage tints, grey blending enhances your hair’s natural tones, reducing harsh regrowth lines and creating a softer transition between pigmented and grey hair.

At our award-winning Manchester salon, we customise grey blending to suit your hair type, natural shade, and personal style. Whether you prefer subtle highlights, lowlights, or a gentle toning treatment, our expert colourists will create a look that feels fresh and effortless.

Perfect for those looking to embrace their greys gradually or maintain a youthful, multi-dimensional finish, grey blending is an ideal solution for anyone wanting a more natural approach to hair colouring.

We are award-winning colourists, and our team has won national and international awards for our colour work. From beautiful balayage hair ideas to shimmering highlights or a vibrant head of colour, we ensure that your expertly applied colour enhances hair texture and creates your perfect look.

Our 3Cs consultation at the beginning of your hair appointment helps us to understand and achieve exactly what you’re looking for and makes sure you leave our salon with beautifully coloured, healthy hair that suits you, your lifestyle and your personality.

If you haven’t had colour with us before, you’ll need to book in for an all-important colour skin test, which must be completed 48 hours prior to all new colour appointments.

Grey blending Manchester FAQs

Your questions about our grey blending services answered. Common questions on booking appointments, the consultation process, and our expertise with various hair types.
Do I need a patch test before getting my hair coloured?

Yes, we require a patch test at least 48 hours before your appointment to check for any allergic reactions. This is essential for all colour treatments, including balayage, tints, and highlights. Please call the salon to arrange your skin test appointment.

What is grey blending?

Grey blending is a colouring technique that softens and blends your natural grey hair colour with lowlights or tonal highlights - so your greys look intentional, not covered.

It can be done in multiple ways depending on the desired outcome and maintenance levels.

Will it cover all of my grey?

Not completely. Grey blending is designed to blend rather than hide every grey strand, giving a softer, more natural colour grow-out.

Book in for a complimentary hair colour consultation to discuss how this would be achieved and we can give you a personalised quote.

We’ll assess your hair type, hair health, existing colour, and personal goals to create a balanced approach that suits you perfectly.

How long does grey blending last?

Blending grey hair can vary depending on your hair type, how fast it grows, and the technique our hair stylists use.

Is grey blending high-maintenance?

Grey blending is designed to be a lower maintenance hair colour in the long run compared to full colour. However, if you have previous colour that needs lifting or adjusting, we may need a few appointments up front to achieve the perfect blend.

Can grey blending work for my hair type or texture?

Yes! Grey blending can be customised for most hair types and textures. We always start with a consultation to create a plan that suits you and your natural beauty.

Can grey blending help improve the look of tired or dull hair?

Absolutely. Grey blending can add shine and dimension to tired or dull hair by using carefully chosen shades that suit your skin tone and personal style. It’s a great way to refresh your look while embracing your natural beauty.

Is grey blending suitable for semi permanent colour?

Yes – semi permanent colour can be used in grey blending treatments, especially if you're looking for a softer transition or want to explore different tones before committing. We'll advise the best option during your consultation.

Will grey blending suit my hairstyle?

Grey blending can be tailored to suit any hairstyle – whether you wear your hair long, short, curly, or straight.

The goal is always to enhance your natural features and create a look that reflects your personality and lifestyle.

How do you choose the right shades for grey blending?

Our expert stylists consider your natural hair colour, skin tone and desired finish to create a custom blend of highlights, lowlights or toners.

This ensures your final look is stunning, seamless and uniquely yours.
