- Detailed consultations that consider your existing colour, condition, lifestyle and long-term goals.
- Colour correction expertise covering brunette, red and general all-over colour concerns.

OUR COLOUR SERVICES
All-Over Colour
An all-over colour is ideal when you want to refresh, deepen, enrich or completely change your existing shade.
Whether you’re looking for a richer brunette, a vibrant red, a deeper colour or a complete tonal change, we’ll create a formulation suited to your natural colouring and desired result.
Our goal is colour that looks polished and dimensional rather than flat, with the formulation tailored to your individual hair.
Roots Retouch
If you’re happy with your existing colour but need to refresh your regrowth, a targeted root service allows us to maintain your colour without unnecessarily processing the lengths.
We’ll assess your existing shade and create a seamless transition between your roots and previously coloured hair.
Toning & Glossing
Sometimes your hair doesn’t need a complete colour service — it simply needs a refresh.
Toning and glossing can revive faded colour, enhance shine and refine the overall tone of your hair. It’s an excellent option between larger colour appointments when you want your hair to look freshly coloured without making a dramatic change.
Colour Correction
Colour correction requires patience, experience and a clear understanding of what has happened to the hair.
Our general colour correction services cover brunette, red and all-over colour problems, including uneven results, unwanted tones, colour that has become too dark or warm, patchy application and home-dye mishaps.
We assess the existing colour and condition before recommending a correction plan. Depending on the situation, the process may require more than one appointment.
This page focuses on general colour correction. For blonde-specific correction, including brassiness, banding, platinum and blonde lifting concerns, visit our dedicated Blonde Specialist page.
BALAYAGE & DIMENSIONAL COLOUR
Balayage remains a popular choice for clients wanting natural-looking dimension and a softer grow-out.
Our approach to balayage in Melbourne is customised to your natural base, existing colour and desired result. Placement can range from subtle sun-kissed pieces through to a more noticeable transformation.
If you’re searching for balayage in St Kilda, our colourists can help determine whether balayage, foils or another technique will best achieve the look you’re after.

PROFESSIONAL COLOUR WITH A PERSONAL APPROACH
We believe great colour needs to work in real life.
Some clients want a low-maintenance colour with a soft grow-out. Others prefer regular appointments to keep their colour looking precise and polished. Your colour plan should reflect how you actually live.
Our job is to understand what you want, assess what your hair can achieve and create a result that you can maintain.
HAIR COLOUR FAQS
How much does a full colour service cost at The DO Salon?
Pricing depends on your hair length, density, product requirements and the amount of work involved. Visit our Prices page for current service pricing, or speak with our team for a personalised quote.
Can you fix a bad colour result from another salon or a home dye kit?
Yes. We regularly help clients who have experienced unsuccessful salon colour or home-dye results.
We'll assess your existing colour and hair condition before recommending the safest and most realistic correction plan.
How long does a colour consultation take, and does it cost anything?
The time required depends on the complexity of your colour history and what you're hoping to achieve. Our team will discuss the consultation process and any applicable fees when you book.
How often should I get my colour touched up?
This depends on your colour and how quickly your hair grows. Root colour generally requires more frequent maintenance, while balayage and dimensional colour can often be refreshed less frequently.
We'll recommend a maintenance schedule that suits your colour and lifestyle.
Do you use ammonia-free or vegan colour products?
Our colourists select products according to the service, your hair and the desired result. If ammonia-free or vegan colour is important to you, let us know during your consultation and we'll discuss the suitable options for your service.
