More information

What's Included

A focused foil service designed for subtle lift where you see it most.

  • Personal consultation to tailor shade, placement and maintenance.
  • Precision foils along the parting and hairline for face-brightening lift.
  • Lightening to a suitable level for your hair condition and goals.
  • Toner or gloss to perfect the tone and add shine.
  • Gentle cleanse and conditioning to support hair health.
  • Blow-dry and finish so you leave looking put-together.
  • Aftercare advice and a plan for your next refresh.

Who It's For

Perfect if you like natural-looking colour, have a busy diary and want your hairline and parting to look fresh. It suits those who prefer soft brightness with low maintenance.

Also ideal as an in-between for clients with highlights or balayage who want to keep the face frame bright without committing to a full head. If you want to go significantly lighter all over, a half or full head service is a better choice.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours for T-section highlights with toning and a professional blow-dry. Hair length, thickness and the lift required can change the timing.

If you add a haircut or root tint, please allow extra time. New colour clients may require a skin test ahead of the appointment.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, a weekly nourishing mask and heat protection before styling. If you are blonde, use a purple shampoo occasionally to keep brassiness at bay without over-toning.

Book a toner or gloss at 4 to 6 weeks to refresh the shade and shine. Plan your next T-section top-up around 6 to 10 weeks, with a half or full head every 12 to 16 weeks to maintain overall dimension.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a T-section highlight?
It focuses foils on the parting and hairline to brighten the areas you see most and blend regrowth. It is a targeted refresh between larger colour services. Ideal for keeping your colour looking fresh without a full head.
Will this help with grey coverage?
Fine foils around the parting and hairline can soften and diffuse greys so they are less noticeable. For full coverage, a root tint may be recommended alongside foils. We will advise the best approach for your hair.
How long does the appointment take?
Allow about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours including toning and blow-dry. Hair length, thickness and the desired lift can affect timing. Adding a cut or root tint will need extra time.
Do I need a toner with this service?
A toner is usually recommended to refine the shade after lightening and add shine. It helps neutralise warmth or enhance a desired tone. We will choose a finish that suits your skin tone and style.
How should I care for my hair afterwards?
Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, a weekly mask and heat protection. Book a toner or gloss at 4 to 6 weeks, then a T-section top-up at 6 to 10 weeks. Limit heat and UV exposure to preserve tone and condition.
