Hair Colour on the Gold Coast
Elite Hair has been colouring Gold Coast hair since 2008. You might want a soft gloss to bring back some shine, or you might want to go from dark to blonde over a few appointments. Either way, we plan your colour around your hair as it is now and how much upkeep you're happy with.
Every colour service starts with a free consultation, in the salon or online. You'll get your final quote before we start, so there are no surprises at the end.
Colour Services
Global Colour
One shade from root to tip. It's good for covering greys, refreshing a faded colour or making a full change. We match the tone to your skin and the colour of your eyebrows, so it looks natural rather than flat.
Global Lightening
Lifts your whole head to a lighter level for an even, bright result. We work at a pace your hair can handle and use bond-building care to keep the lengths strong.
Decolourisation
Take out built-up or unwanted colour so you have a clean base for your new shade. If you've been through a few box dyes or colours have stacked up over the years, this is usually where we start.
Gloss
A quick service that adds shine, fixes brassy or dull tones, and refreshes colour between appointments. It's an easy way to keep blondes and brunettes looking fresh.
Highlights and Balayage on the Gold Coast
Full Head Highlights
Foils across the whole head for maximum brightness and dimension, all the way from the part to the nape.
Half Head Highlights
Foils through the top and sides, where the light hits most. It's a good option for keeping your colour fresh between full head appointments.
Natural Highlights
Fine, soft pieces that look like the sun did the work. Regrowth is low-key, so you can leave longer between visits.
Balayage
Colour painted on by hand for a soft, blended grow-out with no hard regrowth line. It suits anyone who wants a lived-in blonde or brunette that holds up well in the Gold Coast sun and salt.
Colour That Matches Your Extensions
Most colour salons don't do extensions. We specialise in them. If you have extensions or are thinking about getting them, we can colour your natural hair to blend with your new lengths, or tone them so they match. That way you don't end up with a line where your own hair stops and the extensions start.
See our hair extensions or read our guide to choosing your extensions.
Look After Your Colour
Healthy hair holds colour better. Add a treatment to your appointment to protect your hair through lightening and keep the tone fresh for longer:
Bond Multiplier: Strengthens hair during and after lightening.
Fusio-Dose and Fusio Scrub: Targeted treatments for the hair and scalp.
Chronologist Protocol: Restores shine and softness.
Kerasilk Smoothing: Reduces frizz and makes styling easier.
Our team will recommend what your hair needs during your consultation.
FAQs
How much does hair colour cost on the Gold Coast?
It depends on your hair's length, thickness, current colour and the result you want. We'll give you a final quote at your free consultation, before any work starts.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
Highlights are done with foils, so they're more uniform and brighter. Balayage is painted on by hand, so it's softer and more blended and grows out without a hard line.
How long does a colour appointment take?
A gloss can take under an hour. Lightening, balayage or a colour correction can take several hours. We'll give you a time estimate at your consultation.
Can I go blonde in one appointment?
Sometimes. It depends on your starting colour and how healthy your hair is. If you're going a long way lighter, we may split it across two or more sessions to protect your hair.
Can you colour my hair extensions?
Yes. Matching colour to extensions is one of our specialties. We'll make sure your natural hair and your extensions blend.
