More information
What the Service Involves
This appointment combines colour application with twist styling, tailored to the length and density of your hair.
- Colour can be semi-permanent, demi-permanent or permanent, depending on your goal
- Longer hair generally needs more product and careful sectioning, which is factored into timing and price
- Twists are added once colour is complete, giving definition and shape to the finished style
- The standard slot is around 60 minutes, though dense or longer hair may take extra time
Preparing for Your Appointment
A little preparation helps the colour and twists last, especially on long hair.
- A skin test 48 hours before your appointment may be recommended or required, particularly for new clients or colour changes
- Come with clean, product-free hair unless told otherwise
- Let your stylist know about any previous colour treatments or sensitivities
Is This Service Right for You
Colour and twists work well for many long-hair clients, but it's worth considering your hair's current condition.
- Best suited to hair that is in reasonably good condition, as twisting can add some stress to very fragile or dry hair
- If you're moving to a lighter or permanent colour, expect a bit more ongoing maintenance to keep it looking fresh
- Our stylists, including Lisa Reeve, Donna Brookes and Kasie Pearce, can advise on the right colour approach and twist finish for your hair type during a consultation
Aftercare
Good aftercare keeps both the colour and the twists looking their best.
- Use gentle, colour-safe cleansing products
- Prioritise moisture to support hair health between appointments
- Minimise heat styling and friction, which can affect both colour longevity and twist definition
Based in Lutterworth, the salon welcomes clients looking for a considered approach to colouring and styling long hair.

Always a great experience. The colour and cut are always spot on. I especially love the organic colours this salon uses — I’m allergic to conventional dyes and can only use organic, so it’s a perfect fit. The atmosphere in the salon is always warm, welcoming, and friendly.
