Thinking about making the leap to red? You're not alone. Red hair is having a major moment, and at Murphy Gozzard, the best salon Paddington locals trust, we're seeing more clients than ever embrace this bold, beautiful transformation.
Copper: The Perfect Entry Point
If you're nervous about going full red, copper tones are your best friend. As the best hair colourist in Sydney, we always recommend easing into red with warm copper or cinnamon shades, they're rich and dimensional without the commitment of a vibrant cherry or auburn. Copper beautifully complements most skin tones and gives you a taste of that fiery life while still feeling natural and wearable.
From there, you can gradually deepen into richer reds, or keep that gorgeous copper glow. It's all about finding what makes you feel confident.
The Importance of Professional Colour
Going red isn't something to DIY. At Murphy Gozzard, we use La Biosthetique professional colour systems, which deliver incredibly rich, multidimensional reds with serious staying power and shine. The pigments are more concentrated and sophisticated than box dyes, meaning your colour looks salon-fresh for longer and your hair stays healthier throughout the process.
Whether you're after a subtle copper balayage or a full colour hair transformation to a deep auburn, La Biosthetique formulations give us the control to create exactly the shade that suits you.
Keeping Your Red Vibrant
Red fades faster than other colours, so proper maintenance is essential. Oribe's Beautiful Color Shampoo and Conditioner are specifically formulated to preserve vibrant colour and prevent fading, while the Oribe Colour Wow Root Cover Up is perfect for touching up regrowth between appointments.
Wash less frequently (2-3 times a week max), use cool water, and always follow with a colour-protecting conditioner. Weekly masks are non-negotiable for keeping red hair glossy and rich.
