Sombre — a softer, subtler take on ombre — offers a far more natural, low-contrast root-to-tip transition. It's planned individually at KAiMAK Hair Studio.
Sombre (soft ombre) is a lower-contrast, more gradual version of ombre. The transition is far softer; the result looks almost undyed — natural and sun-kissed.
At KAiMAK Hair Studio sombre is planned with tones close to your existing colour; the aim isn't a dramatic change but a sophisticated naturalness that adds depth and gentle light.
Thanks to its low contrast, sombre needs less maintenance and makes regrowth almost invisible — ideal for busy guests. Toning is applied where needed to keep the ends balanced.
