Hair Colour Services in Stourbridge, West Midlands
Whether you’re looking for brighter blonde hair, seamless grey blending, a low-maintenance balayage, or a complete colour transformation, our experienced team can help.
At Tom Syed Hair Spa in Stourbridge, West Midlands, we specialise in bespoke hair colour tailored to your hair type, lifestyle, and goals. Every colour appointment begins with a thorough consultation to ensure we create a result you’ll love.
Complimentary Hair Consultation
Not sure what to book?
We always recommend booking a complimentary consultation before your appointment. This gives your stylist the opportunity to assess your hair, discuss your goals, and create a personalised plan, including a tailored quotation, to achieve your desired result.
During your consultation we can discuss:
• The look you’d like to achieve
• Your hair history and condition
• Maintenance requirements and budget
• The best techniques for your desired result
• A personalised treatment plan to keep your hair healthy
Many clients aren’t sure whether they need highlights, babylights, balayage, foilage, or a tint. Our consultation removes the guesswork and ensures you book the right service.
Which Colour Service Is Right For Me?
Classic Highlights
Classic highlights are traditional foils that add ribbons of light and dimension throughout the hair. They can be used to create your dream blonde, blend grey or salt-and-pepper hair, or simply add contrast and movement to your colour.
Classic highlights are applied from the root and can be customised in many ways. At our Stourbridge salon, we usually offer them in three categories:
T-Section
Perfect for a subtle refresh or root touch-up. Foils are placed along the parting and around the front hairline, brightening the most visible areas of your hair.
Half Head
This includes everything in a T-Section, with additional foils placed throughout the back and sides of the head (excluding the nape area).
A Half Head is ideal as a maintenance appointment or for those who like to keep more natural depth underneath their hair.
Full Head
Foils are applied throughout the entire head for maximum coverage and brightness.
This service is ideal if you’re looking for the brightest blonde possible, significant grey coverage, or a complete colour transformation.
Best for: Bright blondes, grey coverage, traditional highlighting.
Babylights
Babylights follow a similar format to traditional highlights and can be applied as a T-Section, Half Head, or Full Head service.
The difference is that the sections are much finer, leaving more of your natural hair between each foil. This creates a softer, more natural result with less visible regrowth.
Babylights are perfect for grey blending, subtle brightening, and clients who want a lower-maintenance colour with beautiful dimension.
Best for: Natural blondes, first-time colour clients, grey blending and softer regrowth.
No-Bleach Blonde
One of Tom’s specialist services, no-bleach blonde can be a fantastic alternative to traditional lightening for suitable hair types.
Using high-lift colour rather than bleach, we can often achieve beautiful blonde and caramel tones while maintaining the strength and integrity of the hair.
This approach can be ideal for clients whose hair struggles to tolerate bleach but still want a brighter result.
Best for: Fine hair, damage-prone hair, caramel blondes and softer blonde results.
Balayage vs Foilage
Balayage is a French word meaning “to sweep”. Originally developed to create naturally sun-kissed hair, it has evolved into one of the most requested colour services in the West Midlands.
Today, balayage usually refers to a result rather than a specific technique — softer at the root and brighter through the lengths and ends.
One popular technique is foilage, where hair is backcombed and placed into foils to create additional brightness while maintaining a seamless blend.
Whatever technique is used, the goal remains the same: a beautifully blended colour with a softer grow-out line.
Best for: Low-maintenance colour, lived-in blondes and brunettes, and clients wanting appointments every 3–6 months.
Permanent Colour
Permanent colour is the classic choice for complete grey coverage and long-lasting colour changes.
It can cover up to 100% of grey hair and allows us to completely transform your natural shade, whether that’s a rich brunette, vibrant copper, deep red, or beautiful blonde.
Best for: Grey coverage, rich brunettes, coppers, blondes and complete colour transformations.
Demi-Permanent Colour
Demi-permanent colour is a gentler colour service designed to enhance your natural hair rather than completely change it.
It can softly blend grey hair, add shine, deepen your natural tone, or refresh faded colour.
Because it gradually fades over time, regrowth is much less noticeable than with permanent colour.
Best for: Grey blending, shine enhancement, first colour appointments and lower-maintenance colour.
What Is a Toner?
A toner is a specialised colour product used after a lightening service.
When hair is lightened, underlying warm pigments are revealed. Toners allow us to neutralise unwanted brassiness or create a specific blonde, brunette, copper, or pastel shade while adding exceptional shine.
Despite being a quick step, toners play a vital role in achieving your final colour result.
Professional Hair Treatments
Healthy hair creates beautiful colour.
At Tom Syed Hair Spa, we offer advanced professional treatments designed to improve the health, strength, and appearance of your hair.
Bonding Treatments
Bonding treatments are added directly into your colour service and help minimise damage while maintaining the integrity of the hair.
They can improve colour longevity and are particularly beneficial during lightening services.
Conditioning Treatments
Conditioning treatments are tailored to your hair’s individual needs and can help with dryness, damage, frizz, lack of shine, and loss of body.
If you have any concerns about the condition of your hair, a bespoke conditioning treatment is one of the most effective ways to improve and maintain its health.
