Colour and highlights in Belmar
Colour work at Shearwater Hair Studio starts with a conversation about your hair's current condition and colour history, followed by a strand test on anything more involved than a single-process refresh.
Colourists work from a formula card kept on file for you, so a repeat visit starts from a known baseline instead of a fresh guess.
Salt air, sun, and pool water are part of living at the shore, and every colour service ends with aftercare guidance built around that.
Colour & Highlights services
Everything we do for your colour & highlights.
All-Over Colour
A single-process colour applied root to end, matched to your natural tone or a new shade you choose together.
Highlights & Lowlights
Foiled highlights, lowlights, or a combination for dimension without a full colour change.
Gray Blending
A lighter-maintenance approach that softens gray at the root line instead of covering it completely.

Your appointment
From consultation to finish.
- 01
Colour consultation
Book online or call 732-555-0118 and describe your hair's current colour and history. First-time colour clients get a short in-chair consultation before any formula is mixed.
- 02
Strand test and formula
For anything beyond a simple refresh, we run a strand test and record the formula so future visits start from a known point.
- 03
Colour, finish, and aftercare notes
The colour is applied, toned if needed, and finished with a cut or style if you have booked one. You leave with product and aftercare guidance for holding the tone.
How long does a full colour appointment take?
It depends on the service. A single-process refresh runs shorter than a first-time balayage or a full head of foils. Your colourist will give you a time estimate at booking.
Will you do a strand test first?
For any first-time colour service or a significant change in tone, yes. It protects your hair and gives us an accurate read before the full application.
How do you keep colour from turning brassy at the shore?
Salt air, sun, and pool water all pull warmth into blonde and lightened tones faster than inland climates. We recommend a toning schedule and a UV-protecting product for anyone spending time outdoors.
Can I go from a box colour to a professional colour?
Usually, yes, though it may take more than one visit depending on the condition and buildup from prior colour. Bring the box or the name of the shade if you still have it.
Is colour work guaranteed?
Not happy with your cut or colour? Come back within seven days and we will make it right, no charge.
How often should I come back for a touch-up?
Root touch-ups on all-over colour typically run every four to six weeks. Balayage and highlights stretch longer since the growth line is part of the design.
