Hair Colour Experts in Stanley, Durham
Our approach to hair colouring is rooted in creating beautifully tailored results that feel effortlessly natural. Every shade is thoughtfully chosen to complement your complexion, suit your style and enhance the natural movement of your hair. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all colour, we craft bespoke blends that settle seamlessly, grow out softly and leave your hair looking healthy, radiant and full of dimension.
From lived-in balayage and soft root touch-ups to face-framing highlights and bolder colour transformations, we work closely with you to create a look that feels personal, polished and beautifully you. If you’re preparing for a special occasion, our in-house beauty, makeup and wedding services are also available to complete your look.
Please note: Hair colour consultations are £10. This fee is fully redeemable against the cost of your colour service. We’re also a colour-safe salon, so if you haven’t had your hair coloured with us for the past 6 months, please pop in for a quick patch test.

Classic Hair Colours
Classic hair colours have truly stood the test of time, adding dimension, radiance, and life to your locks. These soft, wearable shades are perfect if you want to amplify your natural hair without a dramatic change.
We can subtly brighten, deepen or refine your colour to create a beautiful finish that grows out gracefully. If you’re preparing for a wedding, we can also recommend beauty and makeup services that complement your chosen shade.


Beautiful Balayage
Balayage is a freehand technique that creates soft, natural blends and sunlit dimension. Each stroke is painted with intention, giving your hair movement, brightness and a finish that feels effortless and grown-in.
Your stylist will customise the placement, tone and intensity to suit your complexion, texture and style. This ensures a seamless, low-maintenance result that’s uniquely yours.
Blonding – Highlights, Lowlights, Babylights and Toners
Whether you want soft brightness, a natural sun-kissed finish, or stronger contrast, our blonding services are fully customised. Highlights add lift and dimension, babylights give ultra-fine illumination, and lowlights create richness and depth.
Toners and glossing refine your shade and maintain clarity between appointments. We tailor each blonding service to achieve the perfect balance of brightness and tone.


Creative Hair Colours
Dreaming of a bold hair colour transformation? Our colourists specialise in creative colours, from bright, vivid shades to soft, pastel hues. Whether you’re looking for a full head of colour or hidden panels -also known as peek-a-boo highlights - we’ll work with you to create a look that feels personal and expressive.
If your hair requires lightening before applying a creative shade, we’ll guide you through the process and advise on how many appointments may be necessary to achieve your ideal result. This ensures your hair remains healthy and strong while allowing us to gradually lift your colour to the perfect base for vibrant, long-lasting tones.
Money Piece
A Money Piece at Olive & Orchard is a bright, face-framing highlight that instantly lifts your features and adds a soft, flattering glow. Whether you prefer something subtle or statement-making, this modern technique adds contrast and freshness while keeping your overall look beautifully natural.
With its sleek and chic colour pop, the Money Piece is perfect for making a statement. Beautiful and creative colour combinations can be achieved, suitable for every season, giving you that much-coveted glam glow. Multiple colour variations are possible, ranging from natural, sun-kissed tones to bold, vibrant shades that truly stand out.
Pairing a Money Piece with a balayage is an excellent way to add dimension and flair to your hair. Because Money Pieces are usually thinner and lighter than the rest of your hair, they create a natural-looking highlight that enhances your overall style without overwhelming it. The best part? A balayage with Money Pieces can be fully customised to complement your individual hair colour, texture, and personal style.


Hair Colour Correction
Whether you’re struggling with brassiness, uneven tones, patchy colour, over-processed hair, or a colour mishap, our expert colourists start with a thorough consultation to understand your hair history, goals, and individual needs. From there, we create a personalised colour correction plan tailored to achieve your desired shade safely and realistically.
Using gentle, advanced colour correction techniques and premium, bond-repairing products, we carefully restore a smooth, seamless, and vibrant finish. Our approach ensures that your hair’s condition and integrity are protected throughout the process, leaving you with a natural-looking, salon-perfect colour.
No matter if you need to correct previous dye jobs, remove unwanted tones, or refresh your existing colour, our colour correction specialists combine technical expertise with creative flair to deliver results that are both beautiful and long-lasting.
What to Expect From Your Hair Colour Consultation
We always recommend a colour consultation before your appointment. This gives us the chance to discuss your ideas, explore inspiration photos, assess your current colour, and understand the level of maintenance you prefer.
During the consultation, we also examine the condition of your hair to ensure a safe and effective colouring plan. It’s important to understand that colour correction can be a journey—achieving your desired look may take several visits to the salon, as we never rush the process and always prioritise your hair’s health.
