Does Your Hair Deserve A Spring Fling?
As the daffs sprout and the lambs start bouncing, it's fair to say that Spring has arrived!
Spring is officially the season to lighten up, and yes, we mean your hair.
At Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing, we’re all about helping you shake off those winter shades and step into spring feeling fresher, brighter and full of highlight-reel hair.
So if you’ve been thinking about going lighter, now’s the perfect time to take the plunge (or at least dip a toe in with some highlights).
If you fancy a transformation, book a consultation by calling 01823 334 331 or book online. ease note: If you're new to Combers, or haven't had a colour service with us for 6 months or longer, please arrange to come into the salon for a free allergy alert test at least 48 hours before your colour appointment.



Highlights: A Classic Glow-Up
Highlights are like the best supporting actor to your natural colour - subtle, flattering and always stealing the scene. Whether you want soft face-framing pieces or brighter ribbons running through your hair, highlights add instant light and dimension without a full colour commitment. Perfect if you’re saying, “I want to go lighter… but not too lighter.”
Babylights: Small but Mighty
Babylights are ultra-fine highlights that mimic the soft, natural brightness you had as a kid (before life, bills and bad box dyes happened). They’re delicate, blended and give hair that “I just came back from holiday” vibe - even if your only trip was to the supermarket.
Balayage: Effortlessly Bright, Zero Stress
Balayage is the queen of low-maintenance colour. Hand-painted and beautifully blended, it keeps things brighter towards the ends while staying soft and natural at the roots. Translation: fewer salon visits, more good hair days. Honestly, it’s a brush with greatness.
All-Over Blonde: Go Big or Go Home
If spring has you feeling bold, an all-over blonde might be calling your name. From creamy warm blondes to cooler icy tones, going fully blonde is a total transformation. This one’s perfect if you’re ready to turn over a new leaf (and maybe turn a few heads).
Thinking Pastels? Lighten Up First
Dreaming of soft pinks, peaches, lilacs or icy blues? Pastel shades love a light base, so spring is the ideal time to go lighter in preparation. Even if you’re not quite ready for pastel perfection just yet, lightening now sets the stage for future colour fun. Consider it hair foresight - very chic, very organised.
