Hair Colouring in Batumi

The most common mistake in colouring is not the shade someone picks — it is the method they pick it by. A photo found on a phone shows a result on a different starting colour, a different hair structure and different lighting. The same dye will land differently on your hair, and that does not mean the colourist did a bad job. So colouring here begins with me looking at your hair in natural light and establishing the underlying level, the porosity, and what colour is already sitting on it.

A colour that genuinely suits you answers to your skin undertone, not to a trend. Warm undertones come alive next to honey, caramel and warm chestnut; cool undertones next to ash, cool blonde and deep chocolate. This is not an aesthetic nicety: the wrong undertone makes a face look tired, emphasises shadows under the eyes and demands noticeably more makeup to compensate. That is why we talk about your skin before anything is mixed.

Grey coverage is its own problem and needs its own approach. Grey hair is coarser and takes colour less readily, so "just the same shade again" often goes on unevenly or washes out quickly. Choosing the right base and holding the right processing time is what decides the outcome. Above roughly 50% grey, a flat single-shade colour is frequently the least flattering answer — a base combined with soft highlights usually reads far better, because the hair does not end up looking painted on.

Keeping the colour matters as much as creating it. Colour mostly disappears for two reasons: hot water and sulfate shampoo lift the cuticle and the pigment rinses away. Warm rather than hot water, a sulfate-free shampoo and a colour-safe conditioner genuinely change whether you want to be back in the chair in two weeks or five. A Batumi summer adds sun and salt to that list, and both break pigment down quickly.

An honest note on what I will not promise: ammonia-free colour is not automatically "harmless", and it cannot take you from a dark, saturated shade to a light one in a single sitting — that is a lightening job and it works differently. If going blonde from dark hair is the goal, it is planned across several sessions; the blog has separate guides both to that route and to choosing a shade.
