Colour Melt Hair Explained
If you’re looking for a hair colour that’s bold yet beautifully blended, the colour melt technique could be just what you’re after. At The Cutting Studio in High Wycombe, our stylists specialise in this ultra-smooth colouring method that creates a flawless, natural-looking transition between shades.
So, what exactly is a colour melt? Think of it as the softer, more sophisticated cousin of ombré. Rather than having a clear contrast between light and dark tones, colour melt blends multiple hues together so they melt seamlessly into one another. There are no harsh lines—just a gradual shift in colour that looks effortless and natural.
This technique is perfect for clients who want dimension and depth without the maintenance of solid colour or frequent root touch-ups. It’s ideal for blending roots, experimenting with new tones, or adding richness and movement to your hair.
Our stylists take the time to personalise your colour melt based on your hair type, tone, and desired finish - ensuring a bespoke look that feels like you, only glossier. Not sure what service to book? We offer complimentary consultations! Book online, or please don't hesitate to give us a call at 01494 714204 if you can't see a slot that suits you.
Please note: If you are new to hair colour or have not had your hair coloured at The Cutting Studio in Hazlemere for six months or more you will need to come in for a quick skin test 48 hours prior to your appointment.

Colour Melt Shades for Blonde Hair
From cool ash tones to buttery blonde hues and striking blends of light and bright, blonde colour melts are a favourite for creating soft, dimensional results with serious impact. This trend is perfect for achieving that effortlessly blended, lived-in blonde look.
A blonde colour melt is especially beautiful on lighter hair tones, as it allows for a smooth transition between shades, from deeper roots to brighter ends without any harsh lines. By incorporating highlights and lowlights, our stylists at The Cutting Studio can create customised shades that add depth, texture, and a natural glow to your hair. Whether you're going for icy platinum or soft golden tones, colour melting helps your colour grow out gracefully, making it a low-maintenance yet high impact option.
Glossy Colour Melt Shades For Dark Hair
