Empower confident choices for your clients.
As your partners in craft, we will help you master the products, skills and know-how, so you can support your clients to navigate this topic with positivity and absolute confidence.
How often do you ask your clients how they feel about their white hair? Do you feel comfortable talking about their options? Do they know they have a wide variety of choices to fully enhance and embrace their transitioning hair? As a hairdresser, you are in the position to open the conversation.
Going grey doesn’t define who you are but it often makes a person question their look. Remember, this may be the first time your salon client has ever considered colouring their hair, so a full colour consultation is an absolute MUST. Supporting your clients to explore their options is also a defining moment in your relationship as their hairdresser…it’s time to inspire them with your creativity!
Excite your clients about this opportunity for self-expression, be it maintaining the look they love, switching up their look to blend in their natural grey highlights or fully embracing a new tonal direction. These three key services provide endless creative options for you to personalise the result, giving you the chance to alleviate any worry about white hair, flex your creativity and help clients view this as a positive change…
When maintaining the look your client loves is the number one concern, you can have confidence in a product portfolio that gives 100% coverage and reliability, even on thick, resistant white hair. There’s no limitation on the shade combinations either. IGORA ROYAL Absolutes works on the root and regrowth areas, seamlessly blending into the previously coloured hair with the exact same IGORA VIBRANCE shade on the lengths. For dual application techniques, these will perfectly match every single time.
Learn how to achieve the Absolutes Color Melt Service; a seamless blend of various shades, transitioning smoothly from darker roots to lighter ends.
Going with the grey and working with partial application techniques can help achieve a beautiful, blended result. For those clients who are in the sometimes-awkward transition phase, a multidimensional look could be key to making them feel at ease. Grey blending is a truly bespoke service that’s always tailored to the individual. Skilfully adding highlights and lowlights or freehand balayage is a chance to show off your creative genius.

Post-pandemic, it’s not surprising that white and grey hair is now more socially acceptable than ever and is increasingly seen as a fashion statement. When the salon was out of bounds, clients had no option but to accept ‘going grey’. However, embracing white and grey is only half the story, as there are challenges we need to help them overcome. White hair can be resistant and appear dull and lacklustre – it can even be prone to looking brassy. IGORA ROYAL Silver Whites, however, has the answer with superior tone refreshment and neutralisation for salt & pepper hair.

To maintain the colour and maximise its longevity, white hair benefits from specialist aftercare. Tailor a Fibre Clinix regime to your client’s hair type – our most advanced and powerful repair technology provides the deeper level of care white hair needs.
Clients may also notice how unruly white hair can be to style. Support them to manage their look with our extensive OSiS range, covering limitless styling possibilities for hold, curls, volume, taming and texture. Giving them a styling tip and product recommendation will boost their confidence and rocket your retail sales.
