Balayage
Balayage, meaning “to sweep” in French, is one of the most requested colour techniques at Ghost. This freehand lightening method allows our colour specialists to hand-paint soft ribbons of light through the hair, creating natural-looking dimension, movement and beautifully blended results.
Designed to mimic the sun’s natural lightening effect, balayage delivers a seamless, lived-in finish that grows out softly - making it a low-maintenance option for clients who love effortless, modern colour. Whether you’re dreaming of creamy blondes, rich caramel brunettes, soft coppers or something more bespoke, balayage can be tailored entirely to you.
At Ghost Chelmsford, Purley, Selsdon and West Wickham, our colour technicians carefully position each highlight to enhance your face shape, skin tone and overall style. While balayage works particularly well on medium to long hair, it can be adapted for shorter styles too. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll recommend the most flattering technique and maintenance plan to suit your hair type and lifestyle.
Blonding & Highlights
Blonde is never just one shade - it’s a spectrum of tones, depth and dimension. At Ghost Chelmsford, Purley, Selsdon and West Wickham, our colour specialists create bespoke blonding and highlighting services tailored to your complexion, lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
From delicate babylights that add soft, natural luminosity, to bold statement highlights or a full head of transformative blonde, we customise every placement for seamless blend and maximum impact. Whether you love cool platinum, creamy champagne, golden honey, soft ash or warmer strawberry tones, we’ll design a blonde that enhances your features and grows out beautifully.
We offer full-head and half-head highlights, as well as face-framing “money piece” accents for instant brightness around the face. Throughout the lightening process, we prioritise hair health, recommending professional bond-building treatments and the best at-home care to maintain shine, strength and tone between visits.
Classic Colours
Beautiful, glossy colour never goes out of style. At Ghost salons, our classic colour services are designed to enhance your natural beauty while delivering richness, depth and long-lasting shine.
Choosing the right shade can feel overwhelming, which is why every colour journey begins with a complimentary consultation. Our experienced colour specialists will assess your skin tone, natural base and maintenance preferences to create a personalised shade that feels like you. From deep chocolate brunettes and radiant copper reds to soft honey tones and dimensional natural finishes, we tailor every formula for balance and vibrancy.
We offer both permanent and semi-permanent colour options, depending on your desired longevity and commitment level. Throughout the process, we prioritise hair health, using premium professional products to maintain strength, condition and luminous gloss - so your hair looks as healthy as it feels.
Creative Colouring & Corrections
If you’re ready to try something different, creative colour opens up endless possibilities. From bold, vivid shades to softer pastels and bespoke fashion tones, our Ghost colour specialists will tailor your look to suit your style, skin tone and maintenance preferences.
Many creative colours require pre-lightening to achieve the right vibrancy. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll assess your current colour and hair condition and create a safe, realistic plan to reach your goal while protecting hair health.
Because fashion shades can fade more quickly than classic colours, we’ll recommend professional in-salon treatments and a personalised at-home routine to help maintain tone, shine and strength between visits.
We’re also experienced in colour correction. Whether you’re dealing with unwanted warmth, uneven colour or a previous colour mishap, our technicians can rebalance and refine your shade, restoring your confidence along the way.

Do I need a patch test before my hair colour appointment?
«Yes. At Ghost, we are a colour-responsible salon. If you haven’t had a colour service with us in the last six months, we require a quick allergy alert test at least 48 hours before your appointment. This ensures your safety and allows us to proceed with complete confidence.
What hair colour brand do you use at Ghost?
«We use professional Alfaparf Milano salon hair colour, known for its rich pigment, high shine and long-lasting results. Alfaparf offers advanced grey coverage, beautiful tonal depth and ammonia-free options, helping us achieve vibrant colour while maintaining hair health.
How long will my balayage or highlights last?
«Balayage typically lasts 8-12 weeks thanks to its soft, blended grow-out. Highlights may require refreshing every 6–8 weeks depending on your desired brightness and regrowth. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a maintenance plan tailored to your colour goals and lifestyle.
Will colouring my hair damage it?
«When performed professionally, hair colour should not compromise hair integrity. At Ghost, we prioritise hair health by using premium professional products, controlled lightening techniques and bond-supporting treatments. We’ll also recommend the best at-home routine to keep your hair strong and glossy between visits.
How do I maintain my blonde or creative colour at home?
«Blonde and fashion shades require targeted aftercare. We’ll advise on professional toning shampoos, hydrating treatments and colour-protecting products to prevent brassiness and fade. Regular gloss or toner appointments can also help keep your colour fresh and luminous.
Can you fix a hair colour that’s gone wrong?
«Yes. Our experienced colour specialists offer advanced colour correction services to address uneven tones, unwanted warmth, banding or previous colour mishaps. Corrective colour often requires a tailored, step-by-step plan, which we’ll discuss during your consultation to achieve a safe and beautiful result.
