What Is Ombre?
Ombre (from the French word for “shadow”) is a colour technique where hair transitions from a darker shade at the roots to a lighter shade at the ends. The contrast is more defined than balayage, creating a striking two-tone effect. Modern ombre techniques can range from subtle to bold, using any combination of natural or fashion colours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ombre and balayage?
Ombre creates a more defined, two-tone gradient from dark roots to light ends. Balayage is softer and more natural-looking, with colour painted freehand for a blended sun-kissed effect. Ombre is bolder; balayage is more subtle.
How long does ombre hair colour last?
Ombre typically lasts 3–4 months before roots need refreshing. Because the technique starts darker at the roots, it grows out gracefully without an obvious regrowth line.
Can I get ombre on black hair?
Yes, ombre on black hair creates a striking contrast. The lightening process may require a bleaching step, and our colour specialists will assess your hair’s condition to recommend the safest approach.
Does ombre damage hair?
Any lightening process carries some risk of damage if not done correctly. Our colour specialists use professional-grade products with conditioning agents to minimise damage. We also recommend an in-salon treatment after colouring.
