Full Head Tint – Mid Length Hair

£60.25 – £70
45 mins

A full head tint applies colour evenly from roots to ends, giving mid length hair a single, uniform shade. It's a popular choice for clients wanting to go darker, refresh faded colour, even out patchiness, or cover grey hair, and it's carried out by our stylists at Jayne Elliott Hair Company in Lutterworth using either permanent or semi-permanent tint depending on your needs.

More information

What to Expect

Your appointment starts with a consultation about your desired shade, hair history, and any scalp sensitivities, followed by full application, development time, and a rinse and finish.

  • Permanent tint gives full grey coverage and longer-lasting colour, with a visible regrowth line over time
  • Semi-permanent tint offers a softer result that fades more gradually and suits those wanting a lower-commitment change
  • Mid length hair generally needs longer than short hair for full saturation, so allow extra time beyond the application itself for consultation, development, and finishing

Is a Full Head Tint Right for You?

A full head tint gives a solid, opaque colour rather than the multi-dimensional look of highlights or balayage.

  • Best suited to clients wanting one even shade, richer depth of colour, or full coverage of white or grey hair
  • If you're after lighter pieces or dimension, our stylists, including Lisa Reeve and Donna Brookes, can talk through highlight or balayage alternatives instead
  • Porous or previously coloured hair can grab tint unevenly, so let your stylist know your colour history at consultation, and a patch test may be recommended if you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions

Maintenance and Aftercare

Keeping your colour looking fresh relies on a few simple habits at home.

  • Avoid washing for 48 to 72 hours after your appointment to let the colour fully settle
  • Use sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, washing with cool to lukewarm water
  • Apply heat protectant before styling and limit tool temperatures
  • Protect hair from strong sun, chlorine, and salt water, which can speed up fading
  • Book root touch-ups roughly every 4 to 6 weeks, or a full refresh every 6 to 8 weeks, to avoid obvious regrowth banding

Stylists such as Kasie Pearce can also advise on toners or conditioning treatments between appointments to keep colour vibrant and hair in good condition.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full head tint take for mid length hair?
The application itself takes around 45 minutes, but allow longer overall for consultation, colour development, rinsing, and finishing, typically 90 to 120 minutes in total.
How much does a full head tint cost?
For mid length hair, prices range from £60.25 to £70, depending on the amount of hair and colour used.
How is a full head tint different from highlights?
A full head tint applies one even shade all over the hair, while highlights add lighter, multi-dimensional pieces. If you want dimension rather than a solid colour, highlights or balayage may suit you better.
Will a full head tint cover grey hair completely?
Permanent tint can cover grey hair fully, while semi-permanent options give a softer, more gradual result. Your stylist will discuss which is best for your hair and goals during consultation.
How soon can I wash my hair after a full head tint?
It's best to wait 48 to 72 hours before washing, allowing the colour to fully settle into the hair for the best, longest-lasting result.
How often will I need a root touch-up?
Most clients book root or regrowth tints every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent visible banding, with a full head refresh every 6 to 8 weeks.
What products should I use to maintain my colour?
Sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner are recommended, along with cool water washing and weekly deep conditioning to keep the colour vibrant and hair healthy.
Can a full head tint damage my hair?
Permanent tint can slightly dry the hair, so your stylist may suggest pairing it with a conditioning or keratin treatment to maintain smoothness and shine.
Do I need a patch test before my appointment?
If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or a previous reaction to hair dye, let the salon know in advance, as a patch test or gentler formulation may be recommended.
