For your well-being and safety before we apply colour to your hair we need to know if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients used in our colour formulas. We appreciate this may be inconvenient, but for us, your safety comes first. If you’ve not had your hair coloured at KAM in the last 6 months, you will need to pop in for an allergy test at least 48 hours before your colour appointment.

We won’t be able to colour your hair unless we believe you are safe. You don’t need an appointment and can pop in anytime, it only takes one minute and is, of course, free.

Yes! Balayage hair colour can provide a sun-kissed natural-looking hair colour that avoids a hard regrowth line. It is a more modern hair colouring technique to add soft, subtle highlights to the hair.

Both balayage and foilyage can be customised to suit individual preferences and hair types. they have subtle differences.

With balayage your stylist can apply the colour directly onto the hair using a freehand technique while foilayage highlights are often added as foils.

Yes we do.

Colour melting & root stretch colours are popular techniques that discreetly blend strategically placed highlights throughout the hair to achieve maximum effect. The highlights are blended or ‘melted’ away from the root with a shade almost identical to your natural colour so there are no harsh lines between the different shades.

We can ‘stretch’ or ‘drag’ out your root colour, adding multi-dimensional shades, growing lighter towards the ends of your hair. No matter if you’re looking for a blonde, brunette, or red colour melt, or want a root stretch that blends the root colour with balayage tones, lowlights or highlights we have you covered at KAM hair salon in Lossiemouth.

Lowlights are when a darker tone is added to create a contrast against the natural hair colour. Lowlights can really add depth to your hair colour and can be used to create multi-tonal, three-dimensional hair colour.

Ombré is defined as when your hair colour gradually blends from one colour to another. It’s a great way for brunettes, blondes and red heads to have fun with hair colour with the dark to light hair colour graduation. Ombré hair colouring will give you a more subtle blend of colour usually ‘dark to light’ but can also include fun fashion hair colours.

Sombré is a softer more natural looking version of ombré, the root colour is often left the natural base shade and then a lighter colour is seamlessly blended towards the ends of the hair.

If your main objective is to achieve a glossy shine and remove unwanted brassy tones from your balayage or foilayage hair colour, then a toner is right for you. Colour glosses are another great way in which to give a beautiful finish and enrich tones in the hair.

Liven up brown hair by adding a few subtle, slightly red-toned highlights to give a bronzed effect, add warm caramel tones or keep it classic with a rich, chocolatey brunette balayage.

Both the shag cut and the wolf cut offer a more relaxed and undone look compared to traditional, structured haircuts. If you’re looking for a hairstyle with a bit of edge and personality these are a great option.

The pixie cut is a short and edgy hairstyle that has been trending for a while. It involves cutting the hair very short, often with longer layers on top for versatility. This style is bold and low-maintenance.

Yes! For a fun and funky short hairstyle that pacts a punch opt for a modern short crop with quiffed fringe.
