What Is a Colour Specialist?

A true colour specialist understands the chemistry of colour, the interaction between lightener and hair structure, and how tone, depth, and technique combine to create results that last and grow out well. Cole Hair Studio is Double Bay's most popular dedicated colour specialist salon

Why Cole Hair Studio for Colour?

Every colourist on our Double Bay team has been trained directly by Frankie, our director & owner, to the same specialist standard she applies in her own work.

Frankie's career includes celebrity clients and editorial work for major Australian publications. That expertise and precision doesn't stay with one stylist at Cole. It's embedded into how every member of our team approaches every colour appointment.

What that means in practice: you're not hoping you get the right stylist. Whoever you book with, you're getting a colourist who has trained specifically in colour chemistry and technique.

We also designed our Double Bay salon around the reality that our clients are busy. Co-working setup, fast WiFi, a space where you can take calls and clear your inbox. Your hair appointment shouldn't cost you a productive afternoon.

Our Colour Services

Balayage

Hand-painted balayage and lived-in colour are our signature services. Whether you are after classic balayage with soft, natural dimension, a seamless shadow root, or colour that genuinely looks effortless growing out — this is what our colourists do every day.

Full Head Foils

Full head foils for clients who want maximum lift, defined highlights, or a more structured result. We work across the full tonal range — bright blondes, warm brunettes, copper, and natural-looking multi-dimensional colour. All foil work is customised to your natural base, skin tone, and desired finish.

Ideal for: Clients who want a bold transformation, high-contrast blondes, or complete coverage from root to tip.

Colour Correction

Fixing over-processed, uneven, or home-coloured hair and restoring it to a clean, professional result. Colour correction is complex — it's a multi-stage service that always starts with a thorough consultation to assess your hair, set realistic expectations about the timeline, and build a treatment plan before anything is applied.

Not all salons take on colour correction work. We do — and we're honest about what's achievable in a single visit versus what needs multiple sessions.

Frequently Asked Colour Questions

  • A colour specialist focuses specifically on colour: the chemistry, the techniques, and the outcomes. In practice this means deeper training in lightener, toner, and colour theory, a higher proportion of colour appointments in daily work, and more experience managing complex colour results — correction, blonding, lived-in colour. At Cole Hair Studio, every colourist is a colour specialist.

  • Yes. New colour clients are offered a complimentary consultation before their first appointment.
