The grey area of style

If you’ve been upstairs at Eliegante salon, you may have noticed the curved shelves full of all the wonderful hairZayn Malik colour we use. Guess which one is the most popular these days? Grey! Are you surprised? Yes, the colour most of our customers are asking about is the colour that, until recently, has been the one everyone wanted to make disappear! Orange may be the new black, but grey is the new standard for young and old alike!

This month’s chair education is to help you understand how to get that perfect grey look you’re seeing on celebrity Instagram’s and magazine covers. Believe it or not, while going grey naturally may seem easy, colouring you grey is not. There’s a lot of time and effort involved, so if you like how Zayn, Dascha or Ginnifer got their grey and want to do the same, let me tell you how it’s done. (If you’re a Euro Cup fan and want one of those footballer hair styles we do that too, but let’s talk about that another time!)

First, we pre-lighten your hair to get it ready for colour blending. This takes some time to complete, but don’t worry: our delicious homemade cappuccinos or espressos will help you pass the time! Then we will choose a highlight to blend with the grey. There are lots of options here, and the goal is to match your skin tone, the type of hair you have, and the kind of cut you’re looking for. I definitely do not recommend trying this double-colour process on your own, because it puts your hair under a lot of stress and can damage your hair if not done properly. My team and I are trained to give your hair exactly what it needs, letting you leave the salon with the look you love and the knowledge on how to keep it looking great.
