Colour that doesn't shout "dyed"
A good colour for men should age with you — not give you away.
L'Oréal Inoa — ammonia-free
Zero ammonia, no smell, oil-delivery technology. Conditions hair as it colours. Safer for sensitive scalps and frequent colourers.
Salt-and-pepper blends
Our default for men over 35 — we leave 10–15% greys at the temples for a graceful effect, not a flat block. Looks like you, just better.
Beard colour as a service
Specialised beard-colour formula that adheres to coarse facial hair without bleeding onto skin. Black, brown, salt-and-pepper. ₹399.
Free patch test
First-time colour clients get a complimentary patch test 48 hours before. Tests for allergic reaction on a small skin patch — no commitment.
Trained colourists
L'Oréal Pro Academy-certified colourists. They've coloured 1,000+ heads of grey hair across all hair types from straight to coiled.
Colour-safe finishing
Sulphate-free post-colour rinse, hair-mask treatment, and a take-home tip on shampoo to extend colour life by 1–2 weeks.

Men's Hair Colour FAQ
How much does men's hair colour cost in Chennai at YLG?
Men's hair colour starts at ₹1,099 for L'Oréal Majirel global colour and ₹1,499 for L'Oréal Inoa (ammonia-free). Beard colour is ₹399, and root-touch-up only is ₹699. Prices are identical at Adyar, Anna Nagar and Porur. Beauty Secret Card members get 15–25% off.
What's the best hair colour for grey coverage for men?
For full grey coverage we recommend L'Oréal Inoa — it's ammonia-free, contains no ammonia smell, and gives 100% grey coverage with a natural-looking finish that grows out softly. For men who don't want to look 'just dyed', we blend two shades for a salt-and-pepper effect that ages gracefully. Majirel is a slightly more economical alternative with similar coverage.
Is hair colour safe for men? Does it damage hair?
Modern professional colour is significantly gentler than home dye kits. L'Oréal Inoa contains zero ammonia and uses oil-delivery technology — it actually conditions hair as it colours. Majirel uses minimal ammonia with ionising agents. Both have been clinically tested. We always do a patch test for first-time clients and recommend a hair spa or repair treatment every 2 months if you colour regularly.
How long does men's hair colour last?
Full hair colour holds 4–6 weeks before roots start showing. Beard colour holds 2–3 weeks because of faster regrowth. We recommend a root touch-up every 4–6 weeks to maintain the look without colouring full lengths each time. Use a sulphate-free shampoo to extend colour life by 1–2 weeks.
Can I get my beard coloured at YLG?
Yes. Beard colour is ₹399 standalone or ₹249 as an add-on to a hair colour service. We use specialised beard-colour formulas that adhere better to coarser facial hair and don't bleed onto skin. The colour lasts 2–3 weeks. We offer black, natural brown, dark brown and salt-and-pepper blends.
I have sensitive scalp / allergies. Can I still get coloured?
Yes — and L'Oréal Inoa is specifically designed for sensitive scalps because it's ammonia-free. We do a patch test 48 hours before your first appointment to confirm no allergic reaction. If you've had a previous bad reaction with hair colour, tell us upfront — we'll use a hypoallergenic formula and dilute the developer.
Will my hair colour look natural or obvious?
Our default approach for men is 'looks like you, just better' — we blend 1–2 shades close to your natural colour, leave 10–15% greys visible at the temples for a graceful effect, and avoid block-block colour. If you want a sharper look (jet black or completely uniform), we can do that too — we'll match your preference after a consultation.
Cover the greys. Keep the dignity.
