Our Colour Services

Colour Retouch
A colour retouch refreshes your existing shade at the roots, blending regrowth seamlessly with the rest of your hair. It’s the perfect maintenance service to keep your colour looking fresh, vibrant, and polished between larger appointments.

Pricing from $109.

All-Over Colour
An all-over colour service applies a single shade from root to tip — ideal for clients who want a rich, uniform result, a significant colour change, or a deeper, more saturated tone. Available in short, medium, and long hair pricing.

Pricing from $130 (short) · from $150 (medium) · from $165 (long).

Balayage & Highlights
Our signature speciality. See our dedicated Balayage Queenstown and Foils & Highlights pages for full details.

Ombré
A gradient colour technique creating a seamless transition from darker roots to lighter ends. See our dedicated Ombré Queenstown page for details.

Colour Correction
For fixing unwanted, uneven, or damaged colour results. See our Colour Correction Queenstown page for full details.

Our Colour Products

The quality of your colour result is only as good as the products behind it. At Iron + Ivy we use Lakme — a world-class professional colour brand trusted by leading salons internationally — combined with Olaplex bond-building treatments to protect your hair’s integrity throughout every service.

The Iron + Ivy Colour Consultation

Every new client at Iron + Ivy begins with a complimentary in-person consultation at least 48 hours before their appointment. We take a skin test and strand test, assess your hair’s history and condition, and build a personalised colour plan together. Nothing is guessed. Everything is intentional.

Why Trust Iron + Ivy With Your Colour?

Our colour team is internationally trained and led by Creative Director Lauren McMurray-Sherwin, whose award-winning work has earned Iron + Ivy recognition as Queenstown’s highest-rated salon. Colour work is our craft — and we take it seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens at a colour appointment?
It starts with a consultation to understand your goal, then formulation, application and finishing — with your hair’s health protected throughout. Our post What Does a Colour Appointment at Iron + Ivy Involve? walks through it step by step.

How often should I colour my hair?
It depends on the service and how much regrowth or fade you’re comfortable with — softer, lived-in colour stretches further than a solid all-over. We cover the timing in How Often Should You Colour Your Hair?

Is salon colour really better than box dye?
In a word, yes — salon colour is tailored to your hair and applied with control a box simply can’t match, which is why box dye is behind so many of our colour corrections. Read The Truth About Box Dye vs Salon Colour.

How do I keep my colour looking fresh between visits?
The right shampoo, heat protection and the occasional gloss or toner go a long way. Our guide How to Keep Your Colour Fresh Between Salon Visits has the details.

How much does hair colour cost?
It depends on the service, your hair length and the artist, so we confirm pricing at booking — get in touch and we’ll recommend the right option and give you a quote.

Can you help me go lighter safely?
Yes, and doing it safely is exactly where our expertise matters most — going lighter is a journey, sometimes over more than one visit. The Truth About Going Lighter explains what to expect.
