Why Professional Hair Colouring at Baileys Beats DIY Every Time

February 5, 2025

We get it—colouring your hair at home might seem like a quick and easy fix. But before you reach for that box dye, let’s talk about why trusting a professional at Baileys Hairdressing makes all the difference.

1. A Colour That’s Made for You

Box dyes are designed to be ‘one-size-fits-all’, but your hair is unique. At Baileys, we create a custom colour blend that suits your skin tone, natural hair colour, and lifestyle, giving you a look that enhances your features rather than working against them.

2. No Guesswork, No Surprises

Ever applied a box dye expecting a soft caramel brown and ended up with a patchy, brassy mess? Home colouring is unpredictable, especially if your hair has been previously coloured. Our professionals know exactly how colour works, ensuring you get the shade you want—without any unexpected results.

3. Healthier Hair, Longer-Lasting Colour

Over-the-counter dyes often contain harsh chemicals that can dry out and damage your hair. Our salon-quality colours are designed to be gentle while delivering vibrant, long-lasting results. Plus, we use professional techniques to maintain the health of your hair, leaving it looking and feeling its best.

4. Perfect Application, Every Time

Achieving an even, natural-looking colour at home is tricky—especially at the back where you can’t see what you’re doing! In the salon, we expertly apply colour to avoid patchiness, banding, or those dreaded missed spots, so your hair looks flawless from every angle.

5. Grey Coverage That Actually Works

Grey hair can be stubborn. Home dyes often fade fast or leave greys with a dull, flat tone. Our professional colouring techniques ensure complete coverage, keeping your hair looking fresh and vibrant for longer.

6. Expert Advice & Aftercare

Colouring your hair is just the first step—maintaining it is key. Our stylists will recommend the best products and aftercare routine to keep your colour looking fresh and your hair in top condition. Box dyes won’t tell you that!

7. A Relaxing Experience

Let’s be honest—home colouring can be stressful and messy. Why not sit back, relax, and let our professionals take care of it for you? At Baileys, we make your visit an enjoyable experience, so you leave feeling pampered and confident.

If you're thinking about a colour refresh, book an appointment with one of our experts at Baileys Hairdressing. You deserve a colour that’s beautiful, long-lasting, and professionally done—without the risks of DIY!
