What is Grey Blending?

Grey blending isn’t just a hair treatment—it’s an art. It’s about finding a balance between your natural tones and your desired aesthetic, allowing you to feel like the best version of yourself.

Whether you’re looking to fully celebrate your silvers or achieve a subtle, modern look, grey blending softens the transition between tones for a seamless effect.  At The Cutting Room, no two grey blending journeys look the same.

Depending on your lifestyle and preferences, we personalise your results using techniques like:

  • Lowlights for added depth and richness.
  • Highlights to brighten and elevate specific areas.
  • Demi Glossing for that smooth, shiny, refreshed finish.

Some of our clients love how grey blending allows for low-maintenance, effortless growth, while others appreciate recreating a softer version of their natural hair. Whatever your preference, we’ll craft results that highlight your beauty and work for your unique style

I’ve been coming to The Cutting Room since 2015 and have never walked out feeling less than fabulous. My blonde always looks fresh and covers my ever emerging greys seamlessly. In the last year I have also been introduced to Nanoplasty and this has changed my life! No more frizz!!! Love Cass and the girls at The Cutting Room!

It’s been 7 years and I’ve never regretted changing hairdressers and coming to The Cutting Room. My “grey” blending is always absolutely perfect. Love, love, love the entire team !!

Don’t worry. We don’t want that for you either.

Using a semi-permanent or demi permanent colour, we aim to soften the difference in colour in your hair. For example if you have naturally darker hair and have white/grey coming through, this colour will temporarily soften the whiteness of the hair and blend the 2 together more seamlessly.

  • comprehensive consultation
  • roots to ends colour with a semi permanent or demi permanent, giving you up 75% coverage on your grey hair
  • Style cut
  • Blowdry, waves or straighten to finish

Pros:

  • The colour will fade 100% out of the hair over time and leave you without a regrowth line

Cons:

  • Won’t completely cover the greys 100% and will still be visible but more subtle.
