Benefits and Safety of Professional Hair Colouring

Getting your hair coloured by a professional at a salon like Salon Haze offers many advantages compared to using box dyes at home.

Long Lasting Results and Grey Coverage

  • Professional permanent hair colour provides 100% grey coverage and lasts 4-6 weeks.

  • Box dyes often fade quickly and don't fully cover greys.

Customized Colour Formulations

  • Stylists mix custom formulations to perfectly match your goals.

  • Box dyes use a one-size-fits-all approach.

Expert Techniques Like Colour Correction

  • Correct unwanted tones or fix box dye disasters.

  • Box dyes cannot undo or fix colour damage.

Following Safety Precautions

  • Professionals do allergy patches and strand tests first.

  • Box dyes lack guidance on safe use.

Salon Haze takes every precaution to safely colour your hair for stunning results. We do a thorough consultation, allergy test, and strand test first. Our experienced stylists are experts at colour correction and customizing formulations for your unique hair.
