Colour & Twists – Short Hair

£58 – £69.50
45 mins

Colour & Twists – Short Hair brings together a professional colour service and a two-strand twist finish, giving short natural or textured hair both fresh tone and defined shape in a single appointment. It's a popular choice for clients in Lutterworth who want their cut, colour and texture to work together rather than as separate steps.

More information

What's Included

The appointment is built around two connected stages: colour and styling.

  • A consultation to check hair and scalp condition, colour history, and desired shade
  • Colour application (all-over tint, root coverage, or gloss) followed by processing time
  • Rinsing and conditioning with products suited to coloured hair
  • Two-strand twisting using a leave-in conditioner, curl cream or twisting butter to define and hold the finished style

Is It Right for You?

This service works well if you have short natural or textured hair and want colour that highlights your cut's shape rather than sitting flat underneath it.

  • Suits fresh cuts best, since even small length changes affect how twists and colour read together
  • Previous bleach, relaxers or colour history can limit how light or bold a new shade can safely go
  • Clients wanting vivid or pastel tones may need pre-lightening first, which adds time and cost
  • A patch test is generally required 24 to 48 hours beforehand for any oxidative colour

Aftercare and Maintenance

Short hair shows regrowth quickly, so a simple routine helps colour and twists last.

  • Avoid washing for the first 24 to 48 hours after colouring to let pigment settle
  • Use sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and regular conditioning
  • Sleep with a silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase to protect twist definition
  • Expect twists to hold for roughly 1 to 2 weeks with gentle care, and colour refreshes every 4 to 8 weeks

Our senior stylists Lisa Reeve and Donna Brookes, along with stylist Kasie Pearce, can talk you through colour and twist options at consultation so the result fits your hair's condition and your maintenance preferences.

    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.

    Great cut and colour today by Kasie. She was extremely friendly and listened carefully to exactly what I wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a patch test before this appointment?
Yes, most oxidative colour services, including permanent and demi-permanent options, require a skin sensitivity test 24 to 48 hours before your appointment.
How long does the appointment take?
This service is scheduled for 45 minutes, covering colour application, rinsing, conditioning and the two-strand twist finish.
How much does Colour & Twists for short hair cost?
Pricing ranges from £58 to £69.50, depending on hair thickness, density and the colour technique used.
How long will my twists last?
Twists typically hold for around 1 to 2 weeks on short hair with gentle handling and regular moisturising, particularly at the ends.
Can I get vivid or pastel colour with this service?
Bold or pastel shades often require pre-lightening (bleaching) first, which can add time and cost and may need extra aftercare to protect hair health.
How soon can I wash my hair after colouring?
It's best to wait 24 to 48 hours after colouring before washing, allowing the pigment to settle and the cuticle to close.
Does this service include a haircut?
No, colour and twist services usually exclude a cut. If you'd like a shape-up or restyle beforehand, this is typically booked and priced separately.
How often will I need a colour refresh?
Because short hair shows regrowth quickly, most clients book root touch-ups or colour refreshes every 4 to 8 weeks.
What if I have a sensitive scalp?
Let your stylist know in advance; ammonia-free or semi-permanent colour options can often be used as an alternative.
