How Professional Pigment Mix-Ins Eliminate Unwanted Tones in Salon Colouring

Unwanted warmth, brassiness or flat grey coverage are some of the most common colour frustrations in professional salons. 

This happens when standard shades can’t fully balance a client’s underlying pigments or previous hair dyes.

Custom pigment personalisation use of concentrated mix-in tones to refine, neutralise, or intensify results. For stylists, this means consistent results and keeps clients coming back after a great experience.

When a client comes to your salon colour, they expect the tone they see in the mirror to last. Yet, weeks later, fading warmth or dullness can undermine even technically perfect work.

• Client loyalty: over half of clients in the UK say colour clients say lasting vibrancy is why they stay with their stylist.
• Reputation: Consistency builds trust inconsistent tone damages it.
• Efficiency: Correcting tone issues later wastes product, chair time and profit margin.

In short, colour correction isn’t just about appearance; it’s about service standards and business efficiency.

Building tone control into every service helps prevent inconsistency. A few proven habits:

• Pre-service assessment – analyse undertones, porosity, and previous colour build-up.
• Developer management – adjust strength to maintain condition while achieving lift.
• Porosity balancing – pre-treat with professional prep products to equalise the canvas.
• Lighting awareness – check tones under both salon and daylight conditions for accuracy.

These steps ensure pigments perform predictably before you even open the colour tube.

Modern professional colour systems now integrate mix-in pigments concentrated tones designed for precision control. These allow stylists to create tailored results from within their core shade range.
