Consultation before every procedure – no exceptions

We assess the condition of the hair, its coloring history, and the desired effect before selecting the dye.

Premium products tailored to the structure of the strands

We use professional dyes and preparations that protect the hair during and after the treatment.

A technique tailored to the effect, not the price list

We do not propose a more expensive method where a simpler one will suffice – and vice versa.

Gray hair dyeing and refreshing coloring

Whether it's a complete color change or a subtle shade refresh, we treat each visit individually.

How do we work with color?

Hair coloring is one of the most broadly understood hair treatments—it encompasses both full, uniform coloring and precise techniques for highlighting selected strands. The choice of method depends on the initial color, hair structure and condition, and the desired effect.

With full color, we dye the entire length—from roots to ends—with one or more shades. This is the most common form of color change: covering gray, changing the tone, going from dark to light or vice versa. Coloring gray hair requires particular precision when choosing the shade—gray strands have a different structure and absorb pigment differently than pigmented ones.

Dyeing the ends of your hair is a separate category—you apply the color only to the selected section, without touching the roots. This is an option for those who want a minimal change or are experimenting with color without a long-term commitment.

Hair coloring prices and the cost of coloring a specific technique are always provided after a consultation, prior to the procedure. They depend on the length and density of the strands, the chosen method, and the number of products used.

Contraindications include severely damaged hair or severely irritated scalp. In such cases, we recommend rebuilding the hair structure before coloring.

At PIED-DE-POULE, we offer a full range of coloring techniques. Each has a dedicated page with detailed descriptions, procedures, and pricing:

Technique	Description
Highlighting	Partial or full lightening — from subtle highlights to a radical change
Air touch	Lightening strands with airflow — soft transitions without clear boundaries
Ombre	Gradient color transition from roots to tips — or vice versa
Balayage	Manual lightening without foil — a natural, sun-kissed effect
Toning	Color correction without permanent change — neutralizing yellow and orange tones
Root dyeing	Refreshing the color at the roots without dyeing the entire length
Shatush	Open-air highlighting without foil — the effect of naturally sun-lightened strands

How does coloring work?

Consultation and assessment of hair condition

We review the base color, the current condition of the strands, and the extent of any previous chemical treatments. We determine the technique, shade, and range—so that the result is predictable and safe.

Selection of paint and preparations

We select a dye for a specific application—color, oxidant concentration, and exposure time. For previously colored or lightened hair, we consider the chemical history of the strands.

Color application

We apply the dye section by section, using the method and order appropriate for the chosen technique. For uniform coloring, we work from the roots, while for streaking techniques, we follow an individualized scheme.

Uptime control

We monitor color development on each section of hair. Processing time varies depending on the technique, initial tone, and desired effect—we don't follow a set schedule.

Rinse and assess color

After rinsing, assess the color's evenness and intensity. If necessary, make spot corrections before proceeding to care.

Closing care and styling

We apply a cuticle sealer, dry and style the hair. We discuss home care—how to maintain color and when to return for a refresher.

FAQ

How often can you dye your hair?

It depends on the technique. For solid coloring, every 4–6 weeks for regrowth. With streaked techniques, regrowth is less visible and can be done less frequently. Details are discussed during the consultation.
How much does hair dye cost in PIED-DE-POULE?

The price of hair coloring depends on the length of the strands, the chosen technique, and the number of products used. The quote is provided after the consultation—before the treatment, not during it.
Can you dye very damaged hair?

For severely damaged hair, coloring can exacerbate the damage. We assess the hair’s condition before each treatment and, if necessary, recommend a hair repair treatment.
How to prepare for a visit?

Arrive with washed or unwashed hair—depending on the technique. It’s a good idea to bring inspiration photos—they make it easier to discuss shades and the scope of the treatment during the consultation.
Is dyeing gray hair different from standard hair coloring?

Yes, gray hairs are more porous and absorb pigment differently. We choose the shade and concentration of dye based on the percentage of gray hair—for a uniform and long-lasting effect.
