“Who’s got the time for this?” was on repeat loop in my head for about 3 hours of my last 3.5 hour salon appointment. I wasn’t alone. Far from it.

37% of women aged 35-49 have bought hair colouring products in the past 6 months, and more women on salaries of more than $100k are choosing to colour their hair at home than they were in 2010.

The average age that women start getting their first visible greys is 35, a time when at least some of us have only just started feeling like proper grown-ups. Those visible greys on your head can be an unwanted find which don’t quite represent how we’re feeling inside our heads.

The mid-thirties is often a time when career, family and home demands peak, and making time for hours long appointments which need repeating every 4-6 weeks, can become stressful.

Busy women on high incomes who feel pressure to always look their best may be opting to colour their hair at home rather than sacrifice 2-4 hours at a salon. High earning women are not bypassing the salon completely. 62% of women on incomes over $100K paid for hairdressing services in the last 4 weeks, compared to 37% of women in lower income brackets who visited a hairdresser within the last 4 weeks.

Busy professional women might be saving time (and money) by colouring their hair at home, but they know that great hair needs a professional cut to look its best.
