Goldwell Elumen Hair Colour Brisbane & Gold Coast

Goldwell Elumen is a professional permanent hair colour system that uses selected direct dyes. It works without an oxidative developer, ammonia odour or peroxide and is known for colour intensity, shine and a wide spectrum of natural to vivid results.

Yes. Goldwell classifies Elumen as permanent colour. It differs from conventional permanent colour because it is nonoxidative and uses direct dyes rather than an oxidative developer to create the colour result.

Yes. Elumen has no ammonia odour and is oxidant free. That can create a different in salon experience from traditional oxidative permanent colour.

No. Elumen colour itself uses direct dyes and does not require an oxidative developer or peroxide. If the desired result needs a lighter base, a separate professional lightening service may be required before Elumen is applied.

Goldwell describes Elumen as PPD free. PPD free does not mean allergy free. Tell your salon about every previous colour reaction or known sensitivity before booking, and follow any professional or medical testing advice that applies to you.

Goldwell identifies Elumen as an option for some clients with scalp sensitivity or allergy to oxidative colour because it uses direct dyes and is oxidant free. It is not risk free or suitable for every allergy. A detailed consultation and, when appropriate, dermatologist conducted patch testing are still important.

No. The oxidant free Elumen formula does not lift naturally pigmented hair. It deposits colour onto the existing base. If the goal needs a brighter or paler canvas, your colourist may recommend professional pre lightening first.

A vivid shade placed directly over dark hair may read as a subtle reflect rather than a bright fashion colour. Clear pink, purple, blue or pastel results usually need a lighter base. Your natural depth, old colour and hair condition determine whether pre lightening is realistic.

Yes, when the starting canvas is light and even enough. Soft lavender, peach, blush and similar pastel results generally need pale blonde hair and may require more frequent refreshes than deeper shades.

Goldwell states that Elumen Naturals can provide up to 100% dimensional grey coverage. Dimensional coverage may look different from a dense oxidative permanent result. Your grey percentage, natural base and preferred finish help the colourist choose between Elumen and another Goldwell system.

Both are ammonia free Goldwell permanent colour systems, but the technology is different. Elumen is a nonoxidative direct dye with no developer and no lift. Topchic Zero is oxidative permanent colour that works with developer and can lift natural pigment while providing permanent coverage.

Elumen is classified as permanent, oxidant free direct dye colour. Colorance is an ammonia free demi permanent oxidative system commonly used for glossing, toning, refreshing and lower commitment colour. Your colourist chooses according to the result, base and maintenance goal.

There is no single number for every shade or client. Longevity changes with the colour depth, starting canvas, porosity, washing frequency, heat, sun, chlorine and home care. Pale and vivid work usually needs planned refresh appointments to keep its original clarity.

Yes. All hair colour changes over time. Elumen is designed for long lasting intensity, but shampoo choice, hot water, frequent heat styling, UV exposure and swimming can all affect the rate and character of fading.

Elumen is designed to be durable, especially in saturated vivid shades. Removal and future lightening can be complex. Do not try to strip it at home. Tell your colourist about any Elumen or other direct dye history before a colour change, and expect that a strand test or staged correction may be recommended.

Its oxidant free technology avoids the lift created by oxidative colour, and Goldwell describes a Repair Effect within the system. That does not make every damaged head of hair ready for colour or pre lightening. An Epic colourist will assess strength, porosity and previous chemical work before recommending a service.

Pricing varies with hair length and density, colour placement, stylist level and any pre lightening, corrective work, treatment, cutting or styling required. View the current Elumen packages and salon price lists, then arrange a consultation for a tailored quote when the goal is complex.
