Grey coverage
Root color covers grey for solid, even color. Miriam uses ammonia-free options, including INOA, for root touch-ups and stubborn grey.
A good fit if you want: your grey fully covered, or rich, shiny all-over color.

Two approaches
Cover it, or blend it?
You can also use a little of both. The right mix depends on how much grey you have and how you want it to look.
Grey blending
Highlights and lowlights soften the contrast between grey and the rest of your hair, so regrowth looks softer and the result looks natural. Balayage can be added for warmth and movement.
A good fit if you want: a softer grow-out line, less obvious regrowth between appointments, or an easier path to your natural grey.
Good to know: a gloss refreshes tone and shine but does not cover grey. Gloss with blow dry is $125+.

Questions
Grey hair FAQ
What’s the difference between grey coverage and grey blending?
Grey coverage uses root color to cover grey for solid, even color, using ammonia-free options such as INOA. Grey blending softens the contrast between grey and the rest of your hair with highlights and lowlights, so regrowth looks softer and the result feels natural. The two can also be combined.
What is INOA?
INOA is an ammonia-free hair color line from L’Oréal Professionnel. Miriam uses it to touch up regrowth and stubborn grey hair, on its own as Tint INOA or alongside highlights and balayage.
Will a gloss cover my grey?
No. A gloss tones and refreshes your color, but it does not cover grey hair or grey roots. For coverage, book a tint or an INOA service.
Can you help me grow out my color and go grey?
Yes. Blending with highlights and lowlights, and toning older color, can make the grow-out softer while your natural grey comes through. Start with a complimentary consultation so Miriam can plan the steps with you.
