Expert Hair Colouring in Exmouth - Beautiful, Personalised Colour for You
Specialists in balayage, highlights, natural blends and vivid colours
At Summer & Lola, we know that hair colouring isn’t just about changing a shade, it’s about expressing your style, enhancing your natural features, and feeling confident every time you walk past a mirror. From soft, natural blend colours to balayage, highlights and bold vivid tones, our colour work is always tailored uniquely to you.
All of our colour services are created using our beautiful professional brand Milkshake, chosen for its stunning results, gentle formulations and rich, high-performance pigments that keep your hair looking and feeling its best.
Your Colour Journey Begins With a Personal Consultation
Colour starts with conversation. Before a single drop of colour is applied, we’ll take the time to listen to your ideas, talk through your hair history, lifestyle and current hair condition, and explore what you’d love to achieve. Together, we’ll look at the options and choose the right approach for you – whether that’s low-maintenance balayage with soft, seamless dimension, bright and beautifully placed highlights for lift and brightness, or a bold, expressive vivid colour transformation that really makes a statement.
This personalised consultation ensures your colour:
- Complements your skin tone and personal style
- Fits your everyday routine and maintenance preferences
- Reflects what feels most “you,” natural or creative
By the time we begin your service, you’ll feel informed, confident and genuinely excited about the colour direction we’ve chosen together.
Balayage, Highlights, Natural Blends and Vivid Colours - Designed Around You
While we’re known for our soft, wearable and beautifully blended colour, we also create a wide range of refined and creative looks, including:
- Balayage for seamless, sun-kissed dimension that grows out softly
- Highlights for brightness, lift and definition through the hair
- Natural blend colours for subtle, effortless enhancement
- Vivid colours for clients who want something expressive, bold and full of personality
Every colour is thoughtfully crafted using Milkshake professional colour, with hair health, longevity and finish always front of mind. You’ll leave with colour that feels flattering, modern and completely suited to you, whether understated or adventurous.
Colour That Works With Your Lifestyle
Not everyone wants the same level of upkeep. Some guests prefer low-maintenance balayage or blended colour, while others love the vibrancy of brighter tones and are happy to refresh more regularly. We’ll design your colour schedule around how you live, style and maintain your hair day-to-day.
Colour with Care - Hair Health Comes First
Beautiful colour begins with healthy hair. Using Milkshake’s professional formulas and thoughtful application techniques, we prioritise strength, shine and hair integrity at every stage. You’ll also receive personalised aftercare guidance so your colour stays vibrant, glossy and soft between appointments.

Hair Colouring Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a skin test before my colour appointment?
Yes, for your safety, a skin test is required at least 48 hours before any new colour service, or if it has been a while since your last visit. This quick check ensures you can enjoy your colour with complete peace of mind.
How long will my colour appointment take?
Colour appointments start from around 2.5 hours, and may take longer depending on your hair, the technique and the result you’d like – especially for balayage, highlights or vivid colour work. We’ll always give you an accurate time estimate when booking.
What are your opening hours and late-night availability?
Our salon opens from 9am onwards. We no longer offer early-morning appointments, but Monday to Thursday we offer late-night appointments until 9–10pm, by appointment only, to give you greater flexibility.
Do you offer balayage, highlights and vivid colours?
Yes, along with natural blend colour, we specialise in balayage, highlights and vivid colour transformations, all created using our beautiful professional brand Milkshake. Your stylist will help you choose the look and maintenance level that suits you best.
Will my colour be high-maintenance?
Only if you want it to be. During your consultation we’ll discuss how often you’d like to visit the salon and design your colour around your lifestyle, whether that’s low-maintenance balayage and blended tones, or brighter vivid colour with more regular refresh appointments.
Do you also colour men’s hair?
Yes, men’s hair appointments are booked, they are longer than our standard 1 hour for men’s barbering, giving enough time for consultation, precision work and a polished finish, whether that includes cutting, blending or colour refinement.
How do you protect the condition of my hair during colouring?
Hair health always comes first. We use Milkshake professional colour and care products alongside thoughtful techniques designed to respect your hair’s structure, and we’ll recommend strengthening or conditioning treatments where they’ll genuinely make a difference.
Will you tell me how to look after my colour at home?
Absolutely. Before you leave, we’ll share simple, realistic aftercare advice, including product guidance, so your colour stays vibrant, glossy and soft between appointments.
I’m nervous about changing my colour – is that normal?
Completely. Many of our guests feel the same before a change. We’ll take things at your pace, talk everything through clearly, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident before any colour is applied.
How often will I need to come back for maintenance?
That depends on your colour choice and how you like it to look. Balayage and blended colours may only need refreshing every 8–12 weeks, while highlights or vivid tones may require more regular visits. Your stylist will create a plan that suits you.
