Inside the formula

What makes a Stefan blonde different.

Three signature standards every blonde guest should understand — they’re the difference between colour that fades fast and colour that stays.

Pre-Lightening Mineral Detox
Mineral Detox – in-salon walkthrough 03:06

STEP 1 OF EVERY BLONDE

Pre-Lightening Mineral Detox

INCLUDED IN ALL THREE TIERS

Removing what stops the colour from working.

Tap water, hard minerals, chlorine and silicone build up on the hair shaft over time. They create a barrier that prevents lightener from working evenly — leaving patchy colour and pulling brassy. Our pre-lightening mineral detox dissolves that buildup before we paint a single foil, so the colour lifts cleaner, brighter, and withless product on your hair.

  • Removes hard-water minerals (iron, copper, calcium)
  • Strips chlorine and product residue
  • Lets lightener absorb evenly — less brass, less re-doing

Ammonia‑free colour & toners

THE CLEAN COLOUR MOVEMENT

Ammonia‑free colour & toners

Standard across every Stefan colour & Lightening service

Brighter blondes, cleaner colours - without compromise.

Stefan is a Clean Colour salon. Every lightener and toner we use is ammonia‑free — no harsh fumes, less scalp irritation, and gentler treatment of the hair shaft. The Clean Colour Movement is a global commitment by leading colourists to ban ammonia, PPD and resorcinol from professional colour without sacrificing vibrancy or longevity. You get the same beautiful, long‑lasting blonde, formulated for the way modern guests want to live: cleaner, kinder, more sustainable.

  • Zero ammonia, PPD or resorcinol in any colour or toner we use
  • Lower scalp irritation - gentler for sensitive guests and pregnancy
  • Same vibrancy, same coverage, same six‑week longevity

I recently visited the Stefan Hair Studio in South Bank for a trim and some layers. The service provided...was excellent. Very informative and helpful in the consult, but also genuinely listened to what I was after. Overall, the experience was truly lovely. I’m booked in for later in the year, and will definitely be a returning client. Thank you for my beautiful hair!

Good to know

Parents ask, we answer.

Does a parent or guardian have to be physically present for the appointment?

For everyone under 16, yes — a parent or legal guardian needs to be in the salon to give consent. For 16–17 year olds, parental consent over the phone is fine if the parent can’t attend.

Why is the kids window only 1pm to 5pm on weekdays?

This time window helps salons manage availability while keeping the kids menu simple and consistent across weekdays.

What does “20% off the full menu” actually cover for teens?

It applies to eligible full menu services for teens during the promotional period. Exclusions and conditions can be listed in your T&Cs.

Can my teen book in by themselves?

Teens can book, but parental consent may still be required depending on their age and the service selected.

Which salons offer the kids menu?

The kids menu is available at selected salons. Please choose your preferred salon before booking.
