Full color, read from your face before it is mixed

Hair Coloring
Tones chosen for you, not off a chart
Color is the service most worth getting right and the easiest to get wrong on holiday. At our two Uluwatu salons and in Ubud we read your face shape and skin before we choose a single tone. Four coloring services, and this page is where you work out which one you actually want.

Every one of these includes wash and styling. Not sure which? Send a photo of your hair in daylight and we'll tell you honestly which to book.
Artisan Hair Coloring, Re-Growth
Just the regrowth, matched to what you already have
Our roots-only color: the first 2 to 3 cm redone and blended back into the color you already have.
Book an appointmentDay Blending
Lightness painted in, not stamped on
Our highlight and balayage service: lightness placed by hand so it grows out softly instead of leaving a line.
Book an appointmentDay Lighter
Full lift, and an honest answer first
Our full bleach: the whole head taken light, rather than lightness added to it in pieces.
Book an appointmentFour ways to color, and how to choose
Artisan Hair Coloring is full color, the whole head taken to one shade. Re-Growth is the root touch up, the first 2 to 3 cm only, blended back into color you already have. Day Blending is highlights and balayage, lightness painted in by hand. Day Lighter is the full bleach, for going properly blonde rather than lighter. If you are not sure which of the four you want, send a daylight photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you.
The hair dye consultation comes first
Before picking a color we need to see your skin tone in daylight. We choose tones that work with your own coloring rather than against it, which is why we ask questions and look at you by the window before anything is mixed. A shade that suits the person in the photo may do nothing for you. That consultation is what you are really booking when you look for a hair dye specialist rather than a hair dye salon: professional hair dye is only as good as the reading that comes before it.
Color made for this climate
Bali is hard on color. Sun lifts it, salt water dulls it, chlorine shifts it green, and hard water leaves a mineral cast that reads as brassy within weeks. We factor all of that into the formula and into where we place the color, so it fades the way you would want rather than all at once. Every basin runs advanced filtered water, and our products are paraben-free.
Grey coverage that reads as hair
Solid, opaque grey coverage is what makes colored hair look colored. We tone so that some variation stays in it and it reads as hair rather than as a flat block, and we choose the depth against your skin rather than off a chart. Mention grey when you message so we allow the right amount of time.
Send a photo before you book
Message us on WhatsApp with a daylight photo of your hair as it is now, and tell us what has been on it before: box dye, henna, a previous bleach. It changes what is possible, and we would rather tell you honestly up front than halfway through. If a previous colour has gone wrong, tell us that when you send the photo, and we will tell you honestly what is and is not possible here.

FAQs: Hair Coloring: the honest answers
How long should you wait between hair colors?
For roots, four to six weeks is normal. For anything that lifts the hair, longer, and it depends on condition rather than the calendar. If we think your hair needs time before the next service we'll say so, and we'll tell you what to do in the meantime.
How long does hair coloring take?
Roots on their own are two to three hours. A full artisan colour is three to four. Big lifts take longer, and we'll tell you honestly when you send a photo.
Will you color hair that has box dye or henna on it?
Tell us before you book. Both react unpredictably with salon color, and henna especially can rule some services out. We'd rather assess a photo first than surprise you in the chair.
I had a color done elsewhere. Can you work with it?
Send a daylight photo on WhatsApp and tell us what was used and when. We will tell you honestly what is possible from where your hair is now, including when the answer is that we would rather not start it.
Can I have a haircut and color in the same visit?
Yes, and it's the sensible order: color first, cut after, so the shape is cut into the finished color. Tell us both when you book so we hold enough chair time.
How do I stop my color fading in Bali?
Rinse with fresh water before and after swimming, use a gentle shampoo with a safe amount of sulfate, and wash in the coolest water you can stand.
