Services
Hair Extensions
We offer premium LA Weave and tape hair extensions using 100% Remy human hair. Our specialists create custom solutions for length, volume, and thickness while maintaining hair health. The LA Weave method uses micro rings for secure, low-maintenance application lasting 8-10 weeks. Tape extensions provide discreet, flat-lay results ideal for fine hair, with refits every 6 weeks. All extensions come with home care guidance to maximise longevity.
Balayage
Our balayage specialists create bespoke lightening effects using hand-painted techniques. Services include traditional balayage, ombre, and foilage methods tailored to your hair type and desired outcome. Every appointment includes Innoluxe strengthening treatment to protect hair integrity during lightening. We offer custom toning solutions to achieve icy blondes, warm caramels, or vibrant reds that complement your skin tone.
Curly Hair Specialist
We specialise in the Curl-by-Curl cutting technique developed by Spring Salon Birmingham. Our stylists assess your natural curl pattern to create flattering shapes that enhance your texture. Services include curl-specific cuts, silicone-free product education, and styling guidance using Only Curls products. We teach proper washing and drying methods to maintain curl definition without frizz.
Innoluxe Treatments
Our Innoluxe treatments rebuild hair structure during chemical services. The Aminobond Complex repairs damage while lightening, preventing breakage during colour transformations. This technology allows us to achieve extreme lightening while maintaining hair strength. The treatment bonds within hair's internal structure, providing protection that lasts through multiple washes.
Keratin Treatments
Our Kerastraight keratin treatments transform frizzy or curly hair with up to four months of smoothness. The treatment uses plant extracts and proteins to reduce frizz while maintaining hair's natural movement. Ideal for managing unruly textures, this service leaves hair easier to style while preserving its health and shine.

I highly recommend this warm and welcoming hair salon in Launceston. I am so pleased to have found Lisa, a highly skilled stylist. She always spends the time to sit and listen to my thoughts/ideas about my hair and is honest and thorough with her recommendations. Lisa has transformed my hair, yet again, with fabulous balayage / highlights and the new K18 leave-in repair mask she used has left my hair feeling amazing!

10/10 - i cannot recommend highly enough. I absolutely adored getting my hair extensions fitted at The Colour Lounge, everyone is so lovely & welcoming. Ive had my hair extensions fitted by many different people in the past, however no one has ever fitted them as perfectly as Lisa does. My LA weave feels & looks absolutely beautiful, i feel amazing & so confident. I honestly can not thank Lisa enough. I wouldnt go anywhere else. What an amazing experience!x

For me going to this salon is such a treat. As soon as you walk in you are made to feel so welcome. The salon itself is so comfortable...the reclining chairs at the hair washing station are amazing! The products used and the skill of the hairdressers are second to none. Special shout out to Lisa the owner who does an amazing job of cutting and colouring my hair. I would never go anywhere else and would highly recommend it to anyone.
