## Full head vivid tint in Cardiff

A full head vivid tint saturates your whole head with rich, all-over fashion colour using Elumen - a vibrant, high-shine, long-lasting colour range.

It's the go-to for a bold, uniform vivid shade, from deep coppers and reds to cool fashion tones, with brilliant depth and shine throughout.

### What's included

-   A vivid colour consultation to plan your shade
-   A full-head vivid application using Elumen colour
-   A professional finish and aftercare advice to protect your tone

Prices range from £87 to £102 depending on your hair's length, thickness and the shade involved. Vivid results may need pre-lightening - your stylist will confirm everything at consultation.

## What to Expect

The service follows a specific application process:

-   Colour is applied to **dry, prepared hair** in carefully sectioned panels
-   Processing takes **20 minutes with heat or 30 minutes without**
-   Hair is rinsed thoroughly, then finished with **Elumen Wash and Elumen Lock** to seal and protect the colour
-   Styling follows, and your hair may feel slightly firm after Lock - conditioner or a mask can soften it

## Achieving Vivid Results

The brightness and intensity of your final shade depend on your **starting base colour**:

-   **Pre-lightening** is often needed for very bright, bold, or pastel vivid results
-   Darker or previously coloured hair may require lightening first, which adds time and isn't suitable for every head
-   A **consultation** helps determine whether your hair is ready for vivids or needs preparation
-   Your colourist will assess your hair history, condition, and desired outcome before proceeding

## Aftercare and Longevity

Elumen is formulated for durability, but how you care for it makes a difference:

-   Use **colour-safe shampoo and conditioner** to preserve tone
-   **Avoid over-washing** - vivid shades fade faster with frequent washing
-   Follow the product recommendations from your stylist, especially the Elumen system or salon-approved alternatives
-   Expect vivid fashion shades to require more maintenance than traditional tints, with periodic refresh appointments to keep colour fresh

## Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full head vivid tint take?

The appointment typically starts around 75 minutes, depending on hair length, density, and starting colour.

How much does it cost?

Full head vivid tint is priced from £87 to £102, depending on your hair and the work involved.

What colour is used?

We use Goldwell Elumen, a high-shine vivid colour system applied all over for a saturated result.

Do I need to lighten my hair first?

Vivid colour shows best on a lighter base, so pre-lightening may be recommended for darker hair. We'll advise at consultation.

How is this different from vivid foils?

A vivid tint is an all-over colour application, while vivid foils weave lightened sections for dimensional, highlighted results.
