Planning Your Easter Colour? Why Mid March Is the Smart Time to Book
Planning Your Easter Colour? Why Mid March Is the Smart Time to Book
As March progresses, many women begin thinking about upcoming Easter plans, spring events and brighter days ahead. Whether it is a family gathering, a short break away or simply enjoying lighter evenings, this is often the moment clients decide their hair needs a refresh.
At Cocco Salon in Derby, mid March is when strategic colour planning becomes essential. As the UK’s only Prescriptive Salon, we focus on helping you achieve spring brightness without creating high maintenance stress later.
This blog explains why booking in mid March makes a difference, how to plan colour around Easter, and what low maintenance options work best for the season.
Why Waiting Until April Can Be Risky
Easter appointments fill quickly. Leaving colour until the last minute often leads to limited availability or rushed decisions.
Planning now allows you to:
Secure your preferred appointment time
Adjust tone gradually rather than dramatically
Protect hair health before lightening
Avoid reactive colour changes
Create a soft grow out into late spring
Good colour is planned, not panicked.
What Spring Colour Should Feel Like
Spring colour should feel:
Softer
Brighter
Lighter in movement
Natural in daylight
Manageable between appointments
This does not necessarily mean going significantly lighter. Often it means adjusting tone, adding dimension or refining existing balayage.
Low Maintenance Colour Options for Easter
At Cocco Salon, we often recommend:
Hand Blended Balayage
Adds brightness without harsh regrowth lines.
Face Framing Highlights
Refreshes around the hairline for immediate impact.
Tonal Glossing
Enhances shine and neutralises warmth.
Soft Grey Blending
Diffuses regrowth for a more natural spring appearance.
Each option is tailored to your hair condition and lifestyle.
Protecting Hair Integrity During Seasonal Change
Spring light can highlight dryness and uneven tone. Before any colour service, we assess:
Hair porosity
Existing lightening
Regrowth strength
Hormonal texture changes
Scalp health
Bond building technology such as K18 or Olaplex is integrated where needed to maintain strength and shine.
Healthy colour lasts longer.
Why Prescriptive Colour Matters
Rather than following trends, we consider:
Your skin tone in brighter light
Maintenance tolerance
Diary commitments
Long term colour goals
Upcoming holidays
This ensures your Easter colour still looks intentional in May.
