Foils are placed precisely for a natural blend that grows out beautifully. A refining toner and glossy blow-dry leave hair light, smooth and polished. ## What's Included A complete highlight service designed for a natural, balanced result. - Personal colour consultation to agree your shade, placement and maintenance level. - Full head foiling pattern mapped to your parting, hairline and haircut for balanced lift. - Careful lightening with protective techniques to respect hair health. - Toner or gloss to refine tone, neutralise brassiness and add shine. - Soothing cleanse and conditioning to keep hair soft. - Blow-dry and finish with styling guidance to suit your routine. - Personalised aftercare plan and recommended maintenance timeline. ### Who It's For Choose this service if you want all-over brightness, not just on the top. It is ideal if you wear your hair up and want the underneath to look as light and fresh as the crown. Perfect if you prefer low-maintenance colour that grows out softly. It suits first-time highlights and anyone keen to blend early greys without a harsh regrowth line. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 2.5 to 3.5 hours for foiling, toning and finishing, depending on hair thickness and length, and whether you add a cut. Most clients refresh a full head every 8 to 12 weeks. You can alternate with a half head or add a face-frame and toner between visits to extend the look. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to preserve tone and softness. Add a weekly hydrating or bond-care treatment. Protect from heat with a thermal spray and keep tools on a moderate setting. If your blonde warms with time, use a purple shampoo sparingly to keep it clean and bright. Plan a toner or gloss at 4 to 6 weeks to refresh shine, then repeat your highlights at 8 to 12 weeks. This keeps the colour natural-looking and the grow-out soft.

A full head covers the whole head, including the back and underneath. A half head focuses on the top and sides. Choose a full head for all-over brightness or if you wear your hair up. Will full head highlights damage my hair? The process is carefully controlled to protect hair health. Foil placement, gentle processing and conditioning help maintain strength and softness. Good aftercare then keeps it in top condition. Can highlights blend grey hair naturally? Yes. Fine weaves and a soft toner diffuse grey without a harsh regrowth line. It gives a natural result and needs less upkeep than an all-over tint. How long will the results last before I need a refresh? Most people return every 8 to 12 weeks for highlights. A toner or face-frame refresh at 4 to 6 weeks keeps the colour glossy and the blend seamless. Do I need a toner with my highlights? Usually, yes. A toner refines the shade, neutralises warmth and adds shine. It ensures your blonde or caramel looks polished and suits your skin tone.
