Hair colour can be a fun way to express your personality, refresh your look, or even cover greys—but it often comes with a lot of questions. At Kapils Salon, our expert colourists are here to guide you through your hair colour journey with confidence and clarity.
In this blog, we answer the most frequently asked questions about hair colouring so you’re fully prepared for your next salon visit.
1. Will colouring my hair damage it?
Not when done professionally! At Kapils Salon, we use premium, ammonia-free, and nourishing colour products from trusted brands like L’Oréal Our expert stylists also offer post-colour care tips to maintain the health and shine of your hair.
Proper aftercare and deep conditioning treatments can keep coloured hair healthy and vibrant.
2. How do I choose the right hair colour for my skin tone?
We provide a personalised hair colour consultation to help you select a shade that complements your:
- Skin tone (warm, cool, or neutral)
- Natural hair texture
- Lifestyle & maintenance level
Whether you’re going for a bold global colour, balayage, highlights, or subtle brown tones—we’ll help you find the perfect match.
3. How long does hair colour last?
Here’s a general idea:
- Global colour: 4–6 weeks
- Highlights / Balayage: 8–12 weeks
Your hair care routine and exposure to sun or hard water can also affect how long your colour lasts.
4. What haircare should I follow after colouring?
To maintain your colour, we recommend:
- Sulphate-free shampoos designed for coloured hair
- Deep conditioning once a week
- Heat protection before using styling tools
- Regular salon colour care treatments at Kapils Salon
We also offer exclusive colour-protect rituals to keep your colour radiant longer.
5. Is hair colouring safe for covering greys?
Yes! We offer safe and effective grey coverage options, including:
- Permanent colours for full coverage
- Ammonia-free colours for sensitive scalps
- Root touch-up services for quick fixes between full sessions
6. Can I show a reference photo for my desired colour?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. Sharing a photo helps our stylists understand your vision and offer realistic advice on how to achieve it based on your hair type and colour history.
7. Can I colour my hair at home with box dyes?
While it may seem convenient, box dyes can:
- Lead to uneven colour
- Cause long-term damage
- Be difficult to correct later
Professional hair colouring ensures safe application, proper formulation, and a salon-grade finish.

- Root touch-ups: Every 4–6 weeks

Our team will help you create a customised colour maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle.
