Hair Colour

Bespoke Hair Colouring

Whether you want to transform your hair with a creative fashion colour, fancy some blonde highlights or want to keep it classic with a rich, and glossy chocolate brown colour, the hair colour specialists at Gavin Ashley hair salon in Bury St Edmunds have you covered.

We will offer you a complimentary hair colour consultation where we’ll happily guide you through the colour techniques and options available to ensure you leave us with the perfect hair colour to suit you, your personality and your hairstyle.

Rich Brunettes & Vibrant Reds

Whether you’re dreaming of a sultry brunette, fiery red hair colour, sunkissed blonde, or even something more dramatic – we can make it happen. Our team of hair colour experts create stunning hair colours for men and women using the latest range of hair colours & techniques. 

Highlights/Lowlights 

Multi-tonal hair is perfect for adding texture, and depth, and creating movement in the hair. The team at Gavin Ashley are highly skilled and can use highlights and lowlights to provide you with stunning hair colour. No matter if you want a few natural-looking, sun-kissed hair colours or bold streaks that make a statement – we can tailor the service to suit your preference.

Having a combination of shades in your hair allows your individuality to shine. You can choose between a full head, half head or partial highlights depending on the look you are hoping to achieve. A variety of colours will look more drastic, while a single shade will give a natural appearance.

Balayage & Ombré

Not sure what the difference is between balayage and ombré? You are not alone. There are many different variations on the balayage theme so your best bet is to show us some images of hair colours you love so we can recreate the look for you.

Explained simply, balayage is a bit like contouring for the hair. We paint vertical sections throughout your hair, growing lighter at the ends. Blonde balayage is the most popular look but we can also create fashion colour balayage and red balayage too. You may also have heard balayage called ombre, colour melt hair, face frame highlights and foilayage to name just a few!

Covering Grey Hair

Re-growth of your natural colour or the appearance of unwanted grey hairs can make your hair look tired, washed out and unkempt. Are you looking for ways to gracefully transition between your coloured hair and natural salt & pepper hues? Transitional grey hair lets you embrace your grey hair, skipping any long grow out process or regular root touch ups. 

Colour Glossing

Adding a clear gloss or semi-permanent colour to your locks is a great way to add shine and rejuvenate tired, dull-looking hair. Glossing can be used to add tone to your hair colour and even camouflage grey hair.

Love the updated line of products! Gemma is amazing. She has transformed my hair from a broken mess to long, healthy and the perfect shade of blonde. She always takes her time and is very knowledgeable about colouring, products and what is best for my hair. Sometimes what we want is not what we need.

Love the Salon. Everyone is very friendly and obviously well trained. Marie is a fantastic Colourist/Stylist who listens and delivers a great cut and colour every time. Love the fact that I can manage my styling at home, too many places do a Salon style which cannot be duplicated at home.
