Autumn colour that grows out kindly

The best autumn colour is the one that still looks intentional in January. That's the whole philosophy behind how we paint at Acme Salon — dimension over stripes, glosses over global tints, and a grow-out plan agreed before the first foil.

What to book: a balayage refresh if your summer colour has grown past the shoulders of its blend; a toner and gloss if the tone has drifted but the placement is still working; a root colour if you're covering rather than blending.

What to skip: a full-head lift the week the clocks change. Trust us. Your ends have been through a summer; give them an Olaplex appointment and three weeks first.

Every colour at Acme Salon starts with a strand test and an honest chat about maintenance. Book with any of our colour specialists — Tuesdays in Chorlton are the quiet ones.
