Blend & Stretch

At Cuts by Carella, our Root Stretch service, led by expert stylist Francesco, is designed to blend your natural root with the rest of your hair shade seamlessly. This method avoids harsh lines and creates a smooth transition, offering a low-maintenance, natural look. While some clients prefer a sun-kissed hue or subtle highlights, the Root Stretch technique can be customized to suit a range of styles, from subtle to bold.

This service is ideal for medium to long hair lengths and works especially well with straight, wavy, or slightly curly textures. Whether you want to soften the contrast between regrowth and dyed strands or create a natural finish, this technique helps reduce any visible regrowth line, offering a blended, polished look that enhances your natural beauty.

Francesco uses advanced colouring techniques like root tapping and root shadows to create the perfect depth and dimension. This method is perfect for extending the life of your colour treatment and is suitable for all face shapes and skin tones.

What’s Included:

  • Root Stretch Colour: Francesco applies precise root colouring to create a soft, blended look that can be customized to your desired style, whether natural or highlighted.

  • Toner: A customized toner is applied to adjust the tone and add shine, ensuring your hair shade is vibrant and matches your desired finish.

  • Styled Cut: Complete your look with a precision styled cut from Francesco, designed to enhance the flow of your hair and make it easy to maintain. (More details)
