Hair Colouring at Anthony Laban Home in Wandsworth
Our colour experts are passionate about creating beautiful, bespoke hair colour tailored to you. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, we will take the time to understand your hair goals, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences to deliver a result you’ll love.
Before any colour service, it’s essential to complete a patch test. Patch tests are compulsory for all new colour clients, or if you’ve not had your colour with us in the last 4 months. They’re quick and easy to do, and you’re welcome to pop into the salon during business hours - no appointment needed.
We also offer in-depth consultations where we can discuss the looks you like, assess your hair, explain the colouring process and recommend some colour options for you. If you book a colour consultation, your patch test can be carried out then.
Please note: Patch tests must be completed at least 48 hours before your appointment. If a patch test has not been completed, we will need to reschedule and reserve the right to charge for the missed time.
Book online or please give us a call on 020 3475 6644.

Blonding & Balayage
Are you dreaming of lighter, brighter hair? At Anthony Laban Home, we specialise in personalised blonding techniques that complement your skin tone, face shape, and natural hair colour.
Highlights remain a classic choice, perfect for adding dimension and brightness throughout the hair. Whether you prefer fine, natural-looking babylights or chunkier, high-impact highlights, we will tailor the placement for a seamless finish.
Balayage is ideal for a softer, more lived-in look, with hand-painted colour that grows out beautifully and requires less maintenance. If you’re after something face-framing and on-trend, a money piece adds brightness around the front to instantly lift your look.
For those wanting a full transformation, our all-over blonde services deliver clean, consistent lightness, while maintaining the health and integrity of your hair.
We always prioritise hair condition during lightening services, using professional products and techniques to protect and strengthen your hair. A consultation is recommended to discuss your desired result and the journey to achieving it safely.
Creative Colours
If you’re ready to stand out, our creative colour services offer endless possibilities. From bold fashion shades to subtle pastel tones, our talented colourists can help you express your individuality through your hair.
Creative colouring includes vibrant hues such as pinks, purples, blues, and coppers, as well as more experimental looks like colour melts, split colours, and hidden panels.
Whether you want a full head of vivid colour or just a playful pop, we’ll design a look that suits your personality and style.
Achieving creative colours often requires pre-lightening the hair, especially if you’re starting from a darker base. During your consultation, we’ll assess your current colour, hair condition, and the steps needed to reach your desired shade. We’ll also advise on maintenance, as creative colours typically require more upkeep and specific aftercare to keep them looking fresh and vibrant.
Our goal is to create a colour that not only looks incredible when you leave the salon but continues to turn heads long after. With the right care routine and regular top-ups, your creative colour can stay bold, glossy, and full of life.
Classic Colours (Blondes, Redheads & Brunettes)
Sometimes, timeless is best. Our classic colour services focus on enhancing natural tones and creating rich, glossy, wearable colours that never go out of style.
For blondes, we offer everything from soft honey tones to cool icy shades, carefully balanced to suit your complexion. Perhaps you want to maintain your current blonde shade or you're looking to refine your tone - you are in safe hands with our colour experts.
Redheads can enjoy a spectrum of shades, from warm coppers and golden auburns to deeper, richer reds. These tones add vibrancy and shine, making them a stunning choice for those wanting a bold yet classic look.
For brunettes we can create multi-dimensional browns with depth and movement, using techniques like glossing, lowlights, and subtle highlights to enhance your natural colour. We can choose between deep chocolate hues right through to lighter caramel tones, finding a shade that flatters your skin tone.
Our classic colour services are all about polished, sophisticated results with a beautiful finish and long-lasting shine.
Colour Corrections & Transformations
If your hair colour hasn’t gone to plan elsewhere, please don’t worry - our colour correction specialists are here to help. We can tackle uneven tones, unwanted warmth, banding, or a shade that simply isn’t right, and will create a tailored plan to restore your hair.
Colour correction is a highly customised process and often requires time, expertise, and multiple steps to achieve the desired result safely. That’s why we strongly recommend booking a consultation as soon as possible. During this appointment, we’ll assess your current colour, discuss your goals, and outline a realistic plan, including timeframes and costs.
We often take a similar approach if you want a complete hair colour transformation - perhaps from brunette to blonde. These complete colour changes can take time to achieve so book a consultation so we can explain everything to you.
Our priority is always the health of your hair. In some cases, gradual correction or changes are the best approach to maintain strength and condition. We’ll be completely transparent about what can be achieved and how we’ll get there.
With professional care and a personalised approach, we can transform colour mishaps into beautiful, confidence-boosting results.
