Colour Blocking
Creative Hair Colouring, High Wycombe
ingColour block is an innovative hair colouring trend that involves placing blocks of contrasting colours throughout the hair to achieve a dynamic and eye-catching look - even the popular money piece is a form of colour blocking. Unlike traditional techniques like highlights, balayage, or ombre, which blend colours seamlessly, colour blocking celebrates sharp contrasts, often using a mix of pastels and bold, bright shades. The outcome is a striking visual effect that draws attention and offers limitless opportunities for creativity.
Using the latest colours from Wella, your hair will be left with shiny with enhanced tone. The colour combination possibilities are endless!

The Money Piece Balayage
The money piece balayage trend is a contemporary take on colour blocking, focusing on strategically placed highlights at the front of the hair. This technique involves lightening the face-framing sections to create a bold contrast with the rest of the hair. While traditional balayage blends colours throughout the hair, the money piece balayage stands out by emphasising stark contrasts, similar to colour blocking.
In this trend, the highlighted sections, often in shades much lighter or brighter than the base colour, draw immediate attention to the face, creating a striking visual effect. This approach not only enhances facial features but also allows for a playful and fun look. Choose from subtle blonde shades to vibrant, creative fashion colours.
Split-Dye
Another version of colour blocking which makes a statement is split dye hair aka Gemini hair. This is where the hair is divided down the middle, with each half dyed a different colour. Split hair colouring isn't just about dividing the hair into two distinct halves from the roots to the tips. You can have the root area one colour and transitioning into a completely different colour midway down the length of the hair.
Popular combinations include black and white, pastel pink and lavender, or blue and green.
Chunky Highlights
Chunky highlights are a striking and modern form of colour blocking that involve adding bold, thick sections of contrasting colour throughout the hair. Unlike traditional, finely blended highlights, chunky highlights create a more pronounced and dynamic look, making a bold statement.
Your talented Cutting Studio stylist will expertly place your highlights in vertical and diagonal sections to achieve high-impact lightness and dimension.
