Going Blonde For Summer

Things are heating up and with a new season comes a new colour. Often clients look to lighten up their dos for the warmer months. We’ve put together a couple tips when becoming that blonde bombshell you were born to be!
Talk to a Professional.
A two min chat before lathering on that bleach just isn’t going to cut it. We specialise in colour, not cuts. That’s why we allow clients to book in for a free 15 minute consultation without even committing to the colour. Come and pick our brains about your next colour adventure prior to making the commitment that comes with it’s upkeep.
It's a Process.
Like fine wine, all good things take time. Going blonde is a process and can take more than one visit to reach your ultimate goal. It may also involve a little homework. Make a plan with your colourist and stick with it including colour save shampoo, leave in and strengthening treatments. We would also recommend Wella’s Eimi ocean spray or Angel Professionals’ yummy grapefruit soften spray.
Prep.
Going lighter can put your hair under a little stress. Before going blonder you want your hair to be the best hair it can be. Make sure you are using good quality products, shampoos and conditioners. We would highly recommend trying the organic Angel Professional range.
Add Olaplex to Your Colour.
This stuff is the EVERYTHING! The two-step salon process doesn’t only protect against damage but it also repairs broken bonds. It is best followed by a take home treatment which you can pick up from any of our salons, New Zealand wide.
Summer is not for Grey.
I’m sure you’ve seen those beautiful silver locks all over vogue but this colour is just not for our harsh UV rays. In the sun this colour doesn’t stand a chance. Focus on buttery, creamy blondes that last. Honey blonde is another colour made for summer.
Tone Is Everything.
Let’s be realistic, you are not Kim Kardashian. A mistake made by many is going too drastic with a colour change. There is a reason you were born with the tone you were. Flaunt what your mumma gave you and stay within a couple shades of your natural tone.
Baby Lights.
Brighten up your balayage by adding fine baby lights. We can scatter them through the top of your colour so it looks super natural and a lot lighter.
Thinking of going lighter? Book in for a free consultation and have a chat to our fabulous colourists.

Hi there, I’ve been growing my hair out after having an assymetric shaven haircut. It’s shoulder length now, but home bleaching has given it really choppy layers. I’ve let it grow out a lot so now at shoulder length its around 10-15cm bleach blonde and then my natural colour (an ashy brown) for the rest of the roots. Am hoping i could come in for a consultation on pricing for getting the roots done to match the ends so its globally blonde again?
Hi. Hue team
I have been bleached my hair all the time but about 2mths ago, my stylist whom i trusted for 10yrs, she totally ruined my hair. My hair damaged extremely hair fell out and my long beautiful hair just gone. And yet the hairstylist didnt apologize. I paid the visit 2times more and yet she ruined more. I have been used organics range made in UK which the salon sold for 3yrs. But after the damage, i went to rodney wayne hair product shop, and they recommended kerastase bond build up line. So i have been using the line since. I need to fix my regrowth line and toning it. I have bought ferola no orange shampoo and mask. But as you know the shampoo only works on bleached hair. So it didnt give the effect i was looking for. I would like to ask you whether you can fix my color since you are known as color specialist. If you can, pls recommend me a hair stylist who can fix my hair without further damage, i dont mind travel to fix it so pls let me know which branch and which stylist can fix mine. Thank you
