Why traditional salons get grey hair blending wrong — and what to do instead

The common mistakes we see in grey hair colouring:

🔍 Covering instead of blending

Most salons reach straight for block coverage or heavy highlights. But this often leads to harsh demarcation lines and fast regrowth that leaves you back in the salon every few weeks.

🔍 One-size-fits-all colour formulas

Grey hair varies massively from person to person — some greys are cool-toned, some warm, some resistant, some fine. You can’t apply the same formula to every head of hair and expect natural results.

🔍 No long-term plan

A lot of colourists don’t map out your future maintenance.

Meaning your first appointment might look good… but what happens when it grows out?
