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. ![Close-up of stylist applying Joico LUMI10 permanent root colour with a brush, gloved hand, precise sectioning at Kutting Korner, Wolviston.](https://webfront.frively.com/api/media/file/joico-lumi10-root-touch-up-application-kutting-korner-wolviston.jpg) ## 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. ## LUMI10 services at Kutting Korner, Wolviston - **LUMI10 Root Colour** – fast, permanent coverage for regrowth with a glossy finish. - **Root Touch-Up with LUMI10 (Express)** – the quickest route to neat, natural-looking roots between larger colour appointments. Ready for fresh, shiny colour in less time than a coffee run? Book your **LUMI10** consultation with our Wolviston team and we’ll create a formula tailored to your shade, hair condition and schedule.
