The Hair By Marta Signature Blend Programme
Grey Transition Pathway is a structured method for women who are ready to move away from frequent root colouring in a controlled, intelligent way.
If You’re Here, It’s Probably Because…
You’re colouring your roots every 3–4 weeks.
You’re planning events around regrowth.
You’re looking in the mirror thinking,
“I don’t want to keep doing this forever.”
Most women don’t dislike their grey.
They dislike:
• The harsh line
• The constant maintenance
• The panic when it grows through
• The feeling that it looks unfinished if they stop
Stopping suddenly rarely feels good.
Random highlights whenever it “feels noticeable” usually drag the process out and make the grow-out look patchy.
That’s why this isn’t a one-appointment fix.
Why Grey Transitions Often Fail
I see this all the time.
Women try to:
• Leave it to grow naturally
• Lighten too aggressively in one session
• Space appointments too far apart
• Switch between full coverage and highlights
The result?
Uneven blending.
Hair damage.
Loss of confidence.
Going back to full root colour.
Grey blending works when it’s managed.
Not guessed.
The Hair By Marta Signature Blend Programme
This is our structured method for managing complex colour transitions.
It is built around five core principles:
1. Structured Staging
Each transition is broken into deliberate phases so nothing is rushed or reactive.
2. Controlled Brightness
Lightening is placed strategically to soften contrast - not blanket highlights that create new problems later.
3. Hair Integrity First
Bond protection and moisture balance are prioritised at every stage.
4. Reduced Long-Term Maintenance
The goal isn’t just a nice result. It’s a manageable one. Something you can live with.
5. Clear Spacing Strategy
Appointments are mapped correctly so progress builds instead of stalling.
This is why it’s a programme.
Whole process will take between 6-8 months.
There are two possible starting points.
Dark Blend Transition
(For deeper and darker bases or previous colour build-up)
If you have strong regrowth contrast or previous dark colour, we begin with a correction stage to rebalance the canvas before blending.
From there, we move into structured highlighting sessions spaced correctly to:
• Soften the regrowth line
• Gradually build brightness
• Protect condition
• Reduce maintenance step by step
This pathway typically includes:
• One initial correction appointment (approx. 3 hours)
• Three structured blend appointments
• Tonal refinements between stages as required
Most clients complete this transition over 4–6 months, depending on spacing and hair condition.
From there, maintenance is significantly reduced compared to frequent root colouring.
Investment:
Marta – £1,399
Kelby – £1,199
Light Base Blend Transition
(For lighter starting points requiring no correction)
If your base is already lighter, we move straight into strategic blending.
This pathway focuses on controlled placement and tonal refinement to integrate your natural grey softly.
This pathway typically includes:
• Three structured blend appointments
• Tonal refinements between stages as required
Most clients complete this transition over 3–5 months, depending on spacing.
Investment:
Marta – £999
Kelby – £749
What’s Included Within the Programme
Both pathways include:
• Bond support within services
• Moisture-focused treatments
• Four structured cuts to maintain shape
• Personalised aftercare guidance
• Head massage at each appointment
These are not add-ons.
They are part of protecting the quality of your transition.
Month 1 – Reset or soften regrowth
Month 2–3 – Build brightness strategically
Month 4–6 – Refine and reduce maintenance
This Programme is not for you if:
• You’re looking for the cheapest option
• You want a one-appointment fix
• You prefer reactive booking
• You’re unsure whether you’re ready to transition
This is for women who are ready to approach their colour properly.
What Happens Next
Every Signature Blend client begins with a consultation.
We’ll assess:
• Your current colour history
• Percentage of grey
• Depth contrast
• Hair condition
• Realistic outcome timeline
You’ll leave knowing:
• Which pathway you fall under
• How many stages are required
• What your maintenance will look like long term
No pressure.
Just clarity.
Why This Is Managed as a Programme
Grey transitions don’t respond well to reactive and pay as you go booking.
When appointments are spaced inconsistently, or decisions are made session by session, the process often stalls.
The regrowth line returns harsher, tone becomes uneven, and many women end up going back to full coverage.
The Signature Blend Programme exists to prevent that.
By mapping the stages from the start, securing the correct spacing between appointments and building brightness gradually, we maintain control over both the result and the condition of your hair.
It’s not about bundling services.
It’s about protecting the transition.
Reviews
Absolutley amazing service,
Marta makes me feel so reassured wifh her confidence and passion she has for hair.
She is always honest with me and listens to my preferences. The salon is beautiful and a relaxed environment.
I initially booked in with Marta for a grey blending consultation in August 2025. I wanted to be able to go longer between salon visits and follow my natural hair colouring. Marta planned my hair appointments as required. My first appointment was in September, I started with an initial full head of high lights with toner, followed by 6 weekly toners. On my most recent visit I have had partial high and low lights with a toner to blend my root growth further. Marta is brilliant at explaining my options to me and has worked her magic to create really amazing hair. Going forwards I will continue with my 6 weekly toners and 12 weekly cuts until my natural hair has all grown out. Marta also explains the best products to keep my hair in great condition. I can highly recommend Marta.
