Foils are placed through your parting, crown and face frame to add dimension, soften regrowth and flatter your skin tone. Expect natural-looking brightness, healthy shine and a finish that suits everyday life. ## What's Included Everything is tailored to your hair, tone and lifestyle. - Consultation to understand your goals, maintenance level and tone preferences. - Bespoke foil placement through the parting, crown and face frame to lift and brighten. - Controlled lightening chosen for your hair type to protect condition. - Toner or gloss to refine shade, neutralise warmth and enhance shine. - Aftercare advice and a personalised maintenance plan. - Optional add-ons: root smudge for extra blend, strengthening treatment, cut or blow-dry. ### Who It's For Perfect if you want a noticeable refresh without committing to a full head. You prefer natural colour that grows out softly with minimal line of demarcation. Ideal for blending early greys and adding light around the face for a fresher look. Suits busy professionals and parents who want polished hair with low upkeep. A great top-up between balayage or full-head appointments, or a gentle first step into colour. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 2 to 2.5 hours for half head highlights with toner. Add extra time if you are booking a haircut or additional treatments. Most clients refresh foils every 8 to 12 weeks. A gloss or toner at 4 to 6 weeks helps maintain tone and shine. If your hair is very thick or long, please allow a little longer so we can keep processing gentle and precise. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus a weekly hydrating mask. Always apply heat protection before styling. Limit heat and chlorine, and protect hair from UV. A purple or blue shampoo, used as advised, can help control warmth. Rebook highlights at 8 to 12 weeks. In-between glossing keeps your blonde bright and your blend seamless.

A half head focuses on the parting, crown and face frame where brightness shows most. A full head includes the back and underneath for all-over lightness. Half head is quicker and lower maintenance. Will half head highlights cover grey hair? Highlights do not fully cover grey, but they can blend and soften it so regrowth is less obvious. For stronger coverage, we can combine foils with a root tint or a soft smudge. How long do half head highlights last? Foils grow out softly, so most clients return every 8 to 12 weeks. Toners typically last 3 to 6 weeks depending on hair care, washing frequency and heat styling. Will highlights damage my hair? We select the right strength and timing for your hair and monitor the lift carefully. Bonding care and a good home routine keep hair smooth, strong and glossy. How should I prepare for my appointment? Arrive with dry hair in your usual parting, free from heavy oils or treatment build-up. Bring a couple of inspiration photos to help us match the tone and placement you like.
