Half Head Highlights + Colour is a combined colour appointment that brightens the most visible areas of your hair with foils, then refines the overall shade with an all-over colour or root refresh. It is ideal when you want noticeable lightness through the top and around the face, with a smoother blend and a more even tone from root to ends.
More information
What Half Head Highlights + Colour includes
Half head foils create lift and dimension through the top section, while the colour step brings everything back into balance so the finish looks intentional and wearable.
- Foils placed through the crown, parting and sides to add brightness where it shows most.
- A complementary colour application to refresh your base shade, deepen between foils, or tidy regrowth.
- Toning or glossing to refine the shade (for example, cooling down warmth or adding a softer beige finish).
- Rinse, condition and a finished style so you can see the blend, placement and shine.
Half head highlights plus colour for grown-out highlights and uneven tone
This service suits hair that has lightened ends but a darker, banded or warm mid-length. It is also a good option if you want lighter pieces through the top without committing to the coverage of a full head of foils. If you often wear your hair up and want brightness underneath as well, a fuller foiling plan may be a better match.
How your Half Head Highlights + Colour appointment runs (105 mins)
You will start by talking through your goal shade, your previous colour, and how you normally wear your hair, as this affects placement. Foils are applied first, then the colour step is used to refine the base and reduce harsh contrast. After processing, your hair is shampooed, toned where needed, then finished so you can check the tone in natural-looking light.
Keeping your highlights brighter for longer between appointments
Use a colour-safe shampoo and keep heat styling controlled to protect the tone. If you go cooler or blonde, an occasional purple or blue shampoo can help manage warmth, but overuse can dull the finish. Many clients maintain the look with a toner or gloss refresh between highlight appointments, then rebook foils when regrowth is visible through the top section.
