Look closely at most clients’ hair, and you'll never find a single flat colour. Even the most uniform-looking head is made up of countless tones, lighter strands catching the light, deeper strands sitting in the under-layers, subtle shifts from root to tip that the eye reads as depth without ever consciously noticing them. It's the reason flat, single-tone extension hair can give itself away: real hair simply doesn't behave that way, and the moment a block of uniform colour sits against a client's own hair, the contrast can show. This transformation by Aura by Gervais is the opposite: a full, dimensional, lived-in colour, with movement and light in every section.
This is where multi-tonal hair earns its name. Rather than a solid block dyed to a single colour, each of our shades is hand-blended so the highs and lows sit within the strand itself, mirroring natural hair. That means even before you introduce a second or third shade, the hair already catches the light unevenly, shifts subtly through the lengths, and never falls into that flat, synthetic look. So when you do layer shades, you're not building dimension from scratch; you're building it on top of an already-dimensional base, which is exactly what gives this look its realism and depth.
Each shade brings its own graduation, and together they span root to tip:
Haze - C5: an ashy, sandy blonde carrying soft brightness through the lengths.
Penny - C16: a rooted mid-blonde that builds the warm, lived-in body of the colour.
Dark Ash - W11: a dark root melting down into cool ash-blonde lengths, giving the blend its deepest root shadow and widest tonal range
Worked together, Dark Ash sets the deep-rooted shadow and cool contrast, Penny carries the mid-tone warmth, and Haze lifts the brightest pieces, a true multi-tonal blend rather than a single flat colour, and one that grows out as softly as it sits on day one.
The same multi-tonal foundation carries across the spectrum, from cool bronde through to warm, sun-lifted brown:
Style Club William Street - W3 + 5, Tapes: a cool, dimensional bronde with soft movement.
Fanse Salon - C13 + C16, K-Tip: a warm, lived-in bronze with lifted lengths.
Izaac Patty - W2 + W3 + 27, K-Tip: a rich, warm brown with golden dimension through the ends.
