Root Touch-Up & Colour Maintenance
Regrowth is the part of colour that shows first. A root touch-up keeps your colour looking like it was done yesterday — usually every four to six weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and how much contrast there is between your colour and your natural tone.

Everything in your roots appointment
One price, one visit. No surprise add-ons at checkout.
Book an appointmentColour matched to your existing shade
We read your current colour in the light of the salon and mix to match it, so the regrowth disappears rather than sitting a shade off.
Colour applied to the regrowth
Precise application at the root only — clean sections, no overlap onto previously coloured hair that would create banding.
Processed and monitored
Your colourist checks development rather than working to a timer, so grey coverage and depth land where they should.
Washed and blow-dried
Finished at the basin with a colour-safe wash and conditioner, then blow-dried so you leave styled.
Colour maintenance in the salon
Colour that never looks overdue
Quicker than a full colour
Because we only treat new growth, most appointments are in and out inside an hour and a half.
Kinder to your lengths
Keeping colour off already-coloured hair avoids build-up, banding and unnecessary processing.
Grey coverage that looks natural
We adjust tone and depth to your base so coverage reads as your colour, not a block of dye.
Easy to keep on schedule
Rebook before you leave and we hold the same slot every four to six weeks.
How your appointment runs
Typical appointment: 60–90 minutes
Colour check
We look at how much regrowth you have, how much grey, and whether the tone on your lengths needs reviving too.
Root application
Colour goes on the regrowth in fine sections and processes under supervision.
Wash and finish
Colour-safe cleanse, conditioner, and a blow dry to send you out styled.
Root touch-up options in Medford
A root touch-up treats regrowth only, so it is quicker and less involved than a full colour. We are refreshing our service menu, so your stylist confirms current pricing at your consultation or when you book online.

BookRoots + gloss

BookRoots + shadow root
A softened root line that blurs the regrowth point so you can stretch longer between visits.
BookRoots with a senior stylist
