I think it depends on how much grey you have etc. I used to do mine at home but the bottom of hair really held on to the colour and after a few times it didn't look great. I now go to gms by the station and see Donna (there is one particular hairdresser there I would tell you to avoid for a colour so pm me if you want info). I think they call it express colour art and I have to say my most recent colour I am super happy with it. X

I've dyed my own hair for 20yrs. However, I liked my friends dye job done by a salon and decided to give it a go. I would recommend INOA dye. It's done by many salons including Willis B on Lorship Lane. The reason it is good is because it replenishes rather than depletes your hair. It's decent colour but the conditioning is superior. Gives you really glossy colour.

I would say, if you are getting one colour, not highlights or any of that jazz, get anyone to do it. Don't pay for an expensive colour director. Anyone in the salon can do it.

Funny bit is that I could do anyone else hair but not mine so always been going to get them done. I can recommend you Charles from Balayage on lordship lane.

Carly is brilliant, she comes to your house and does a perfect job but is much cheaper than a salon. And you don't need to worry about childcare. She has lots of recommendations on here.

Thank you all, very helpful.

Have you ever thought of using Natural Henna? It can be used to color your hair at home and at the same time it also helps prevent dandruff and nourishes your scalp and hair by making it smooth and healthy.

Currently, my hair color is Ashen Blonde (just like the 2nd image here: http://www.betrendsetter.com/hair-color-for-brown-eyes/) but I have used Henna before trying this color and result was really good. Perhaps, you can try once :-) After all, it's natural and doesn't have any side effect.

I'd agree if you want to do one colour try it yourself at home - mine is dark blonde/mousy brown naturally but I have had it highlighted since I was in my teens (LONG ago)... I do one myself now with a L'Oreal box and then go to a salon - agree GMs is always good and Mila & Davis on North Cross Rd are a lovely bunch :)

I have hi-lights and lo-lights to cover my grey. I used to go to GMS until I discovered home hair dresser Stevie. Much more relaxed and convenient than a salon - she cuts the kids' hair whilst my colour takes and I can get on with the laundry! You can find recommendations for Stevie on the forum.

For an all-over colour to cover greys, I do mine at home. Maybe go to the salon a couple of times/year to get a decent job! I think the key with home dye jobs is to avoid the warmer colours because those tend to go orange over time. If I use a medium brown, mine comes out fine. Don't really notice a difference between getting it done in a salon. Depends what colour your hair is!

Well, I was also afraid of going bolder at first. But then I came across these ideas https://thehairstyledaily.com/red-highlights/ and fell in love with them. So, now I am a redhead ha))

Definitely go for INOA if your salon carries it. It makes your hair super shiny which adds to the illusion of youth.

at the moment, due to the covid 19 pandemic, it is best to avoid going to public places

I also think that now there is no need to take risks. Especially at our age. Therefore, I began to do everything myself. Houses. So yesterday I found great short haircuts for older women and I hope that it will be useful to you too

This salon is great - very cheap as it is a tiny place - near Bond Street / Oxford Circus

I tend to do a colour at home and then go to the salon, and alternate like that to save some money!

it is best to entrust your hair to a master for dyeing

Short grey hair looks especially chic and bold, and you can show it off whether you are 20 or 60. There are so many ways how you can wear it in 2021, and we have picked only the coolest. For example, try an asymmetrical cut for silver hair. Your look will seem much edgier and so young. Or, if your hair is naturally curly, you can opt for a curly silver short hair cut with a fringe. It looks very-very cute!
