OMBRE

What Is Ombre Hair?
Ombre is a hair coloring technique that creates a smooth, gradual transition from dark to light—or even light to dark. This style delivers lighter ends that contrast beautifully with darker roots, achieving a seamless blend while maintaining a clear distinction between shades.

Versatile and Stunning:
Whether you’re after bold contrasts or subtle elegance, ombre offers endless possibilities to enhance your look.

SOMBRE

What Is Sombre Hair?
Sombre, or ‘soft ombre,’ is a modern take on the classic ombre style. Instead of a bold contrast between roots and ends, sombre features seamlessly blended highlights, creating a softer and more natural transition.

The Secret to Sombre:
Achieved with a refined balayage technique, this style delivers a lighter, dimensional look that adds depth and movement to your hair. Perfect for those who love subtle elegance, sombre is the ultimate low-maintenance yet stunning choice.
