For a hair extension specialist, colour matching is one of the most important parts of the process. What truly sets exceptional extension work apart is how seamlessly the added hair blends into the client’s natural colour. When the tones, depth and dimension are matched perfectly, the extensions become almost undetectable, creating a finish that looks completely natural. A great colour match is what takes an extension fitting from good to truly invisible.
Start with the colour ring
Our colour ring features large, true-to-life samples of every shade, making it easy to see the full multi-tonal blend and colour-match directly against your client’s hair, rather than relying on a screen.
The generous sample size allows you to see how the different highs and lows flow through the length, giving you a much more accurate representation than a small, flat colour swatch. You can also hold two or three shades together to create and visualise a custom blend before making your final selection.
It’s an essential tool for any stylist looking to achieve a precise, seamless colour match at consultation.
Built for technical colour work
The London Hair Lab is a technical, salon-professional brand created to complement the colour work you already do from balayage and ombré to rooted blondes and lived-in brunettes.
Every shade is designed with multi-tonal dimension, so you’re not trying to recreate a complex colour using a flat, one-dimensional shade. The depth, highs and lows are already built into the hair, allowing you to work with the natural graduation of your client’s colour rather than against it.
This makes it possible to match hand-painted colour with far greater precision and create genuinely bespoke results by layering and combining complementary shades. The result is extensions that blends into the colour you’ve created, rather than looking like an obvious addition.
A shade for every base
Our colour range is designed to cover the full spectrum of natural and coloured hair, with carefully considered shade families that are made to work seamlessly together. Rather than relying on isolated, one-dimensional colours, the range gives stylists the flexibility to match, blend and customise shades to suit each client.
From deep brunettes and rich coppers to soft blondes and everything in between, our complementary shades can be layered and blended to create a truly bespoke colour match for every client.
Bright blondes like Baby (C10) and Ash (C18) - cool and clean blondes.
Rooted, sun-kissed blends like Boho (C13), Penny (C16) and Glazed (W10) - grown-out roots melting into brighter lengths.
Deep brunettes like Lara (1A), Sierra (1B) and Harmony (3) - from neutral darkest brown through to warm, glossy chocolate.
Warm coppers like Ray (30), Ember (33) and Chestnut (433) - natural copper through to deep auburn.
Because every shade is hand-blended to the same multi-tonal standard, you can confidently work across colour families to fine-tune each match whether you are cooling a blend, warming a root or adding brightness exactly where your client needs it. The result is a more precise, personalised colour match with depth and dimension throughout.
True-to-life, every time
Solid, one-dimensional shades are a thing of the past. Our hair is hand-blended with carefully considered highs and lows to create natural-looking dimension that catches the light just like your client’s own hair.
That multi-tonal approach gives you the freedom to create a more precise colour match, layer complementary shades and deliver a truly bespoke result helping you elevate your extension service.
