Full Head Tint

From £60

Patch Test Required

A full head tint is a classic colour service that delivers rich, even coverage and long-lasting shine. At Cruz Hairworks in Whitley Bay, we tailor every full head tint to suit your skin tone, personal style, and maintenance preferences—creating beautifully consistent colour with expert care.

What Is a Full Head Tint?

A full head tint is an all-over permanent or demi-permanent colour applied from root to tip. It can be used to deepen your natural shade, add warmth or cool tones, cover grey, or create a completely new base colour.

We work with professional colour from L’Oréal Professional and Joico, known for their advanced formulations and lasting results. Whether you're after a glossy brunette, radiant copper, soft ash blonde or bold, rich black, your stylist will mix a bespoke formula for a flattering, even finish.

Who Is This Service For?

This service is ideal for women who want an even, all-over hair colour—either to refresh their existing tone, go darker or warmer, or to cover grey completely. A full head tint gives strong coverage, beautiful shine, and a more uniform result than highlights or balayage.

Many of our clients from Whitley Bay, North Shields, Cullercoats, and the surrounding areas choose this service for its simplicity, elegance, and reliability. It's especially suited to those who prefer low-contrast colour without regrowth lines or want to maintain a signature look.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Appointments typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on your hair length, thickness, and desired result. You’ll begin with a full consultation to discuss colour goals, hair history, and tone preferences.

Your stylist will then apply your custom colour evenly throughout your hair, ensuring thorough coverage and natural-looking results. Once processed, your colour will be gently rinsed, followed by a conditioning treatment, and a professional blowdry and finish using GHD tools.

We also offer optional bond-building or glossing treatments to support hair health and enhance the final result.

How Often Should You Book?

To maintain colour vibrancy and cover regrowth, we recommend booking a full head tint every 6 to 8 weeks. Using colour-safe products at home and visiting for toners or treatments between appointments will also help extend your colour's life.

The service you get at Cruz is simply first class. My regular stylist is Andrew who is brilliant. However, every stylist in the salon has tended my hair at some time and I have never been disappointed - they really listen to you and always go the extra mile. They are always up to date with the latest techniques etc and you can guarantee an all round great experience. I have recently had a complete change of colour and I love it! I cannot recommend the salon highly enough.
