Semi-Permanent Hair Colour

Semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair colour is one of the most versatile and client-friendly options in professional colouring. Unlike permanent colour, semi-permanent colour does not require a developer and sits on the outside of the hair shaft rather than opening the cuticle, which means significantly less risk of damage and a colour that fades gradually rather than growing out with a hard root line. It is brilliant for adding shine, refreshing faded permanent colour, covering light grey, colour correcting and creating vivid fashion shades without the long-term commitment of permanent colour.

We stock over 250 semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair colours here at Revive Hair Artists in Codsall from 16 brands including Redken Shades EQ, Joico Colour Intensity, Wella Colour Fresh, Pulp Riot, Danger Jones, Crazy Color, Manic Panic, Wunderbar Freestyle Color, Maria Nila Colour Refresh and more. This is one of the most comprehensive professional semi-permanent colour ranges available online in the UK.

Redken Shades EQ

Redken Shades EQ is one of the most widely used professional demi-permanent colour systems in the world and a product that every professional colourist should be familiar with. It is technically a demi-permanent gloss rather than a true semi-permanent, which means it uses a very low volume developer and penetrates slightly into the cortex, giving longer-lasting results than a true no-lift semi-permanent. Shades EQ is brilliant for toning, glossing, refreshing faded colour, grey blending and achieving very precise tonal results. It must always be mixed with the dedicated Redken Shades EQ Developer rather than a standard peroxide.

Wella Colour Fresh

Wella Colour Fresh is another brilliant professional semi-permanent range that is incredibly popular in UK salons. It is available in a wide range of natural and fashion shades, gives excellent shine and tone and is gentle enough to use on sensitised or fragile hair. The Colour Fresh range is brilliant for in-between colour appointments to refresh tone and add shine, and is particularly popular as a gloss treatment at the backwash.

Joico Colour Intensity

The Joico Colour Intensity range is a vivid semi-permanent colour line that covers a wide range of bold, vibrant fashion shades. It is brilliant for creative colour work and gives intense, saturated results on pre-lightened hair. The Joico Colour Intensity shades can also be diluted with a clear base to achieve softer, more pastel versions of each shade.

Pulp Riot semi-permanent colour

Pulp Riot is a professional semi-permanent colour brand that has become incredibly popular with creative colourists. The range covers a huge spectrum of vivid, fashion-forward shades and the pigmentation is excellent. Pulp Riot colours are particularly brilliant for vibrant, saturated results on heavily pre-lightened hair and the brand is a favourite among colourists who specialise in creative and alternative colour work.

Danger Jones

Danger Jones is a newer professional semi-permanent colour brand that has quickly built a strong following among creative colourists. The range covers both vivid fashion shades and more tonal, wearable options. The Danger Jones Dopamine Black is a brilliant example of the brand's approach to colour — rich, deep and beautifully pigmented.

Vivid and fashion semi-permanent colours

For vivid fashion shades we stock Crazy Color, Manic Panic, Pulp Riot, Joico Colour Intensity and Wunderbar Freestyle Color. Each brand has a slightly different character — Crazy Color is brilliant for bold, saturated pastels and brights, Manic Panic is iconic for alternative and extreme colour, and Pulp Riot and Danger Jones both lean towards more professional, salon-quality vivid results. The Wunderbar Freestyle Color range is also excellent and comes in a great selection of vivid shades at brilliant value.

Semi-permanent colour for grey hair

Semi-permanent colour is a brilliant option for clients who are beginning to go grey but are not ready to commit to permanent colour. It blends and softens grey without fully covering it, giving a natural, low-maintenance result that fades gradually rather than showing a hard root. Redken Shades EQ and Wella Colour Fresh are both brilliant for this application. You can also explore our hair toners collection for more toning and gloss options.
