It's the maintenance step that keeps vivid colour looking intentional and polished between fuller appointments. ### What's included - A colour consultation to match your existing vivid shade - A vivid root application using Elumen colour - A professional finish and aftercare advice Prices range from £72 to £77 depending on your hair and the shade involved. Your exact price is confirmed at consultation. ## What to Expect - A **consultation** first, covering your shade goals, regrowth, hair history, and current condition - Hair is carefully **sectioned**, with colour applied precisely to the roots to avoid overlap onto previously coloured lengths - If you're maintaining a **vivid shade**, hair is often pre-lightened to a pale blonde before the colour goes on, which can extend appointment time - For **Elumen**, the process typically includes prepping and drying the hair, applying colour, then rinsing, shampooing, and a lock or treatment step - The appointment usually runs from around **75 minutes**, though vivid or double-process work may take longer ## Is It Right for You? This service is built for **regrowth maintenance**, not a full colour change. It suits you well if: - You already have Elumen or a vivid fashion colour and need roots refreshed to match - You want a _natural blend_ between regrowth and existing colour rather than banding or visible lines - Your hair condition and colour history are known, since porous or previously coloured hair can take pigment differently If you have significant regrowth, resistant greys, or a longer colour correction history, your stylist may need extra time to plan the formula and application carefully. ## Aftercare and Maintenance Vivid and Elumen colours are vibrant but need a bit more upkeep to stay looking fresh. - Use **colour-safe products** at home to help preserve tone and vibrancy - For Elumen, using the matching lock or treatment products is recommended where suggested by your stylist - Fashion colours tend to fade faster than natural-looking permanent tints, so more frequent root tints may suit brighter shades - Timba's colour specialists, including Ceri O'Brien, can advise on the right maintenance schedule for your specific shade [Book Online](https://book.thesalon.app/salons/5d037f92-0091-4453-941b-88ca6bf28bb5/book?service=78a6f180734933cd5a287eb5) ## Frequently Asked Questions How long does a vivid root tint take? The appointment typically starts around 75 minutes, depending on hair length, density, and starting colour. How much does it cost? Vivid root tint is priced from £72 to £77, depending on your hair and the work involved. What colour is used? We use Goldwell Elumen, a high-shine vivid colour system, applied to the regrowth at the root. Who is this for? It's a maintenance service for clients who already have vivid colour and want to refresh their regrowth between full applications. How is this different from a full head vivid tint? A root tint refreshes only the regrowth, while a full head vivid tint applies colour from root to tip.
