What’s Different
Colour as a brief, not a swatch
Creative colour is where Directors editorial background and decades of experience are most at home. Years spent working across fashion, runway and education continue to influence Tumi’s approach to modern, fashion-led colour.
Whether it is a luminous copper, a soft pastel or a vivid placement designed for movement, every colour is created to suit the individual rather than pulled from a chart.
The integrity of the hair, the level of lift that can be achieved safely and the desired finish are all considered before the first brush touches the hair. The result is creative colour that feels refined, wearable and beautifully executed.
What the Appointment Includes
Booked through consultation
Creative colour begins with a complimentary consultation, in person, always. The colourist sees the canvas, hears the brief, and is honest about what the hair will safely allow and how many sessions the result will take. Vivid and fashion work often depends on a clean base, so the plan may pair a lightening sequence with the placement across more than one appointment.
Bond-builder systems run through every lift to protect the integrity of the hair while it is taken to the base the colour needs. The basin treatment that follows is matched to the work, and the home-care routine is prescribed specifically, because vivid and pastel tones ask for particular care to hold their life between visits.
The Basin Ritual
Included in every colour appointment
Every creative colour service includes the basin work the salon has built its reputation on. A personalised scalp and upper-neck massage at the basin, performed by experinced stylist working on the hair. The bond-builder treatments, where the chemistry calls for them. A finish blow-dry with the at-home routine walked through clearly.
The moment at the basin is not a separate booking. It runs inside the appointment, in the quiet window while a lift or tone develops. Clients who would like to extend the basin work can pair the appointment with a Tumi Hair Spa booking.
Who Books Creative Colour at Tumi
Style-led, and in safe hands
Creative colour suits the style-led client who wants something considered rather than copied, and who would rather have it placed by a colourist with editorial work behind them than chase a trend at a cheaper chair. It carries clients refreshing an existing vivid, clients moving into pastel or copper for the first time, and clients who want a fashion placement that still reads wearable for work.
Because the work is bespoke, every creative colour begins with the consultation. It is the only honest way to set the brief, the timeline, and the price.
The Colourists
Who holds the brief
Creative colour at Tumi is led by Renato and the senior colour team, with the editorial and fashion-show experience to plan vivid and fashion-led work properly. The team trains and re-trains across the year to keep the technical craft current.
Pricing
Quoted after the consultation
Creative and fashion colour is bespoke work, and the price is built to the brief, the canvas, and the number of sessions the result safely requires. For that reason it is quoted only after a complimentary in-person consultation, never over the phone.
The consultation sets out the realistic step-by-step and the investment before anything is booked, so there are no surprises in the chair. A current guide to the salon’s colour rates sits on the pricing page.
Frequently Asked
Questions, answered before the chair
Can any hair take a vivid or pastel colour?
Most can, but rarely in one appointment, and the starting base matters enormously. Vivid and pastel tones need a clean, light canvas to read true, so the plan often pairs a lightening sequence with the placement across more than one session. The consultation is where the honest ceiling for the hair is set.
How long does creative colour last?
Vivid and pastel tones are the most demanding to maintain, and they soften with every wash. The home-care routine prescribed in the chair is built to hold the tone as long as possible, and a refresh appointment keeps it true. The consultation explains the upkeep before the work begins.
Why is creative colour consultation-only?
Because no two briefs, and no two canvases, are the same. A vivid panel on a natural blonde and the same shade on a coloured brunette are entirely different pieces of work. An in-person consultation is the only way to quote it honestly.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The fifteen-minute creative colour consultation is complimentary, and it is the right first step for any vivid, pastel, copper or fashion-colour enquiry.
