How Soon Will My Order Arrive?
After your order has been packed up and posted we'll send you an email to let you know it's on its way. For UK orders delivery is usually 1-2 working days later. For Europe expect to wait around 3-5 working days, to North America takes around 5-7 working days and the rest of the world is around 7-10 days. Please see our shipping page for details.
How much does shipping to ____ cost?
We calculate your postage costs based on the destination and weight of your order so it's not possible to give a general answer. However, when you start checking out the products in your shopping cart we'll tell you the price of any postal options available to you before you have to pay. You can adjust your order accordingly if you want to before completing checkout.
Do you order discounts on large orders/wholesale pricing?
This can be arranged. Please contact us to discuss this. Include the user name or email address you use to log in if you have one.
Are these products tested on animals?
Most of the products we sell, Special Effects, Directions, Crazy Colour and Stargazer makeup have not been tested on animals. We have included an ingredients list for most product on each product page but if you have further concerns please feel free to contact us about it.
Are the dyes permanent? How long will they last?
Generally most unnatural colours will be semi-permanent but how long they last depends on the dye and the condition of your hair. Dark colours tend to take longer to wash out than pastel shades. Some brands tend to last longer than others. The initial colour and porosity of your hair will affect the longevity of the colour, with most colours lasting best on hair that has been pre-lightened to pale blonde.
Most colours will take several weeks to wash out of your hair but please be aware that some staining may occur so it's not advisable to use medium-dark colours if you have to have your hair back to blonde by the end of the school holidays.
Do I need to bleach my hair?
Not necessarily. Colours like blue and purple work best on hair that has been bleached to a pale creamy blonde. Normal colour mixing rules apply – so if you apply blue to yellow-blonde hair it will have a greener appearance, or applying a light colour on top of dark hair will have little effect. If you don't want to lighten your hair, some shades should still be noticeable. Red works well on light brown, blonde or naturally red/ginger hair. Deep plums will also show up on many natural shades although the end result will be less vibrant. Always do a strand test before applying the dye to your hair.
When will more ___ be in stock?
We try to keep all our items in stock but due to changing hair colour trends and delays caused by importing some products, this isn't always possible. However, we usually get the product back in stock within a short period of time so check back frequently.

We have a huge gallery of hair colours and styles on our site and would love to see your picture!
