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.
