Once upon a time, hair colour was simple. You were blonde, brunette, redhead, or something in between. But in 2025, those one-note shades feel outdated—luxury hair is all about depth, dimension, and bespoke craftsmanship. Enter couture colour, where handcrafted, multi-dimensional hues are the ultimate expression of elegance and exclusivity.

Forget flat, predictable tones. Today’s most coveted hair colours are custom-blended using high-precision techniques, layering multiple shades to create movement, richness, and that coveted “expensive” look. Think of it like haute couture for your hair—each colour is unique to you, meticulously designed to complement your skin tone, natural depth, and even your personal style.

The New Era of ‘Expensive’ Colour

Luxury hair is no longer about just light or dark—it’s about the subtle, sophisticated interplay of tones that make your colour look naturally luminous.

• Brunettes are richer, more indulgent. No more blocky, uniform shades—today’s deep browns and chocolates have fine ribbons of caramel, chestnut, or soft gold woven through, adding light-reflecting brilliance.
• Blondes are layered with depth. Gone are the days of platinum that looks too stark or overdone. Soft champagne, creamy vanilla, and sun-kissed beige create the kind of lived-in, effortless blonde that screams high fashion.
• Reds are Parisian-chic. Whether it’s a deep auburn or a golden copper, modern reds have multi-tonal warmth that makes them look glossy and natural, not artificial or flat.

"The key to luxe hair colour is customisation," says Koji, Master Stylist at Oscar Oscar Brisbane City. "We’re blending multiple tones within each shade to create depth and reflectivity, so hair always looks radiant in different lights."

The Science of Dimension: How We Achieve the Look

Creating couture colour isn’t just about picking a shade—it’s about layering and refining with the right professional tools.

At Oscar Oscar Salons, stylists use industry-leading techniques like:

✨ Redken Shades EQ Gloss – A demi-permanent colour that enhances shine and tones hair to perfection, creating a natural, blended finish. Perfect for that soft, seamless blonde or brunette-with-ribbons-of-light effect.

✨ Hand-Painted Balayage & Foil Blends – To mimic the natural movement of sunlit strands, stylists seamlessly melt highlights and lowlights for an ultra-luxe result.

✨ Root Shadowing & Lived-In Colour Techniques – Creating a soft, diffused root for a look that’s sophisticated and effortless.

"It’s all about strategic placement," explains Sarah, Salon Partner at Oscar Oscar Chadstone. "We paint lightness where the sun would naturally hit, then use glossing techniques to refine and enhance the richness of the shade."

Luxury Doesn’t Stop in the Salon: The At-Home Ritual

Maintaining multi-dimensional hair requires a tailored home care routine to protect your investment.

Kérastase Chroma Absolu Shampoo & Masque – A must-have for preserving vibrant colour while keeping hair soft, strong, and luminous.

Oribe Color Lustre Glossing Cream – Infused with botanical oils and UV filters, this luxurious styling essential helps enhance shine and prevent fading.

"Luxury haircare is about longevity," says Nicholas, Master Stylist at Oscar Oscar Robina. "Using professional products keeps your colour fresh, rich, and glossy between salon visits."
