Everything to Know About LUMI10 Colour by Joico

If you want fresh, glossy colour without a long salon visit, Joico LUMI10 is a bit of a marvel. It’s a true permanent colour that delivers 100% grey coverage in just 10 minutes, with shine to spare and care built in. Below, our Wolviston colour team explains how it works, who it’s for, and what to expect at your appointment.

What is LUMI10?

LUMI10 is part of Joico’s LumiShine family, created for speed without cutting corners. It’s ideal for root touch-ups, blending or fully covering resistant greys, and quick refreshes between bigger colour services. The formula is designed to leave hair looking polished and feeling healthy, thanks to Joico’s ArgiPlex™ bond-building care and Quadramine Complex proteins that help support strength.

How does it work so fast?

The secret is Joico’s Quick Coverage System™: a higher concentration of precise dye molecules, activated by the dedicated LUMI10 Accelerator (its specific developer). Together, they drive colour into the hair swiftly and evenly, so you get reliable results in a fraction of the usual time. Because the dye load is higher, timing matters—we process for 10 minutes only. Leaving it longer can push the shade darker than intended.

Key benefits

• 100% grey coverage in 10 minutes – brilliant for resistant greys and busy schedules.
• Up to 2× the shine – hair looks glossy and refreshed.
• Long-lasting, fade-resistant results – rich, true-to-tone colour.
• Hair health support – ArgiPlex™ and Quadramine Complex help maintain strength and softness.
• Salon efficiency – perfect for lunch-break appointments, walk-ins or pairing alongside a blow-dry.

Who is it best for?

• Busy clients who want great colour, fast.
• Clients with resistant or high-percentage grey who need full coverage.
• Anyone maintaining roots between balayage or highlight appointments.
• Last-minute bookers who need an express option before an event or trip.

If you don’t have grey hair, your stylist may adjust your formula (often choosing one level lighter) because of the concentrated pigments. This keeps your result bright and balanced.

What to expect at Kutting Korner

1. Consultation: We review your colour history, scalp health and goal shade, then select your target level and tone.
2. Precision application: We apply LUMI10 to the regrowth or targeted areas, using the dedicated Accelerator.
3. Ten-minute process: We time it carefully—no guesswork—to protect shade accuracy.
4. Rinse and refine: We cleanse, condition and finish with a blow-dry so you can see the shine.
5. Home care plan: We’ll suggest a gentle, colour-safe shampoo and weekly treatment to keep your result glossy.

LUMI10 vs traditional permanent colour

You get the same permanent result and grey coverage you’d expect from standard processing, but in a fraction of the time. That means less time in the chair, easier scheduling, and the freedom to pair your root refresh with a cut and finish, blow-dry, or meeting-packed day.

Smart ways to use LUMI10

• Express root refresh between highlight or balayage visits, keeping your overall look polished.
• Event-ready gloss and cover when you’ve left it late.
• Workday top-up—pop in on a break and head out with fresh roots and serious shine.

Important considerations

• Stick to the 10-minute clock. Longer processing can deepen the result unpredictably.
• Formula tweaks for non-grey hair. A lighter target level may be chosen to offset the higher dye load.
• Professional-only system. LUMI10 relies on its specific Accelerator for the promised speed and coverage—this is not a box-dye shortcut.
