Hair Colouring in Whitley Bay – Expert Advice from Cruz Hairworks

If you're thinking about updating your hair colour, you're not alone. Whether it's to cover greys, try something new, or simply refresh your current look, choosing the right hair colouring service is an important decision. At Cruz Hairworks in Whitley Bay, we specialise in professional colour work with a personal touch.

Here’s a simple guide to help you understand the options, the process, and how to look after your colour between visits.

Choosing the Right Colour Service

There’s more to colour than just picking a shade. Our expert team offers a full range of professional colour services, including:

• Permanent and semi-permanent colour – For all-over colour or root touch-ups.
• Highlights and lowlights – To add brightness or depth.
• Balayage and freehand techniques – For a softer, blended result with less upkeep.
• Grey coverage or blending – Tailored to your needs, whether you want to conceal or soften.

Every appointment begins with a full consultation. We’ll take the time to understand your style, hair condition, and what you’re hoping to achieve.

What’s Popular Right Now

Colour trends change with the seasons, but some looks remain favourites among our Whitley Bay clients:

• Natural, blended tones – Think soft caramel, ash blonde, or rich brunettes.
• Subtle balayage – A popular choice for low-maintenance elegance.
• Cooler blondes and mushroom browns – Particularly flattering for mature skin tones.

We’ll always guide you on what suits your hair type, skin tone, and lifestyle best.

Is Colour Right for You?

We believe colour should feel personal and wearable – not overwhelming. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to offer a colour consultation. We’ll chat through your ideas, offer honest advice, and help you feel confident in your decision.

We also carry out patch testing at least 48 hours before your appointment for your safety and peace of mind.

Caring for Your Colour

Professional hair colour is an investment, so looking after it properly makes all the difference. Here are a few tips we always recommend:

• Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner – We stock L’Oréal Professional and Joico, which protect your colour while keeping hair soft and healthy.
• Avoid heat styling when possible – Or use a heat protector if you’re using GHDs or styling tools.
• Book in for regular toners or glossing – Especially for blondes, to keep the tone fresh and bright.

We’ll also advise on how often to come in for a top-up, depending on the colour you choose.

If you’re ready for beautiful, professional colour in a calm, welcoming salon, we’d love to look after you.
