It's a beautiful way to add dimension and brightness without colouring every strand, and because it's only partial coverage, it tends to grow out more softly than an all-over colour. ## What to expect at your appointment Your stylist will start with a quick chat about the look you're after, check your hair history, and talk through placement and tone. Then: - **Sectioning and application**: Fine strands are woven or sliced from the top half of your head, then wrapped in foils with lightener or painted freehand depending on the effect you want - **Processing**: The colour develops for around 30–45 minutes (timing varies by your hair and the shade you're going for) - **Rinse and tone**: Once rinsed, a toner is applied to refine the colour, cool any warmth, and blend everything beautifully - **Finish**: Shampoo, condition, and blow-dry to show off your new dimension The whole service takes around **75 minutes**, though thicker or longer hair can take a little longer. We also offer a **free 15-minute consultation** for new clients if you'd like to chat through options before booking. ## Who it suits (and who might want something else) Half head highlights work brilliantly if you: - Want **brightness around your face** but are happy for the underneath to stay richer and darker - Prefer a **softer, lower-maintenance** result than a full head of foils - Are looking to add **movement and tone** without a full colour commitment - Like the idea of highlights that grow out more naturally If you want light colour all through—including the layers underneath—a **full head of highlights** will give you more coverage. And if you're after a really soft, hand-painted finish with no foils, **balayage** might be your best bet. Your stylist can talk you through what will work for your hair and the look you have in mind. ## Keeping your colour fresh Because lightened hair needs a bit more love, here's how to make your highlights last: - Use a **sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner**—we stock and use Keune at the salon, and the team can recommend what suits your hair - Wash less often if you can (dry shampoo is your friend) to help preserve tone and moisture - Apply a **hydrating mask** weekly, especially if your hair feels dry - Protect from heat with a spray or serum before styling - Book a **toner or gloss top-up** between highlight appointments to keep your colour looking fresh—toner can fade over a few weeks, especially if you wash frequently Most clients come back for a root touch-up or full refresh every **8–12 weeks**, depending on how much regrowth they're comfortable with. The darker base underneath means regrowth is often less obvious than with a full head, so you've got a bit more flexibility. ## Tailoring the technique No two half heads look the same. Your stylist can adjust: - **Placement**: More around the face for a bold frame, or evenly distributed for all-over softness - **Thickness**: Fine babylights for subtle sun-kissed tone, or chunkier weaves for more contrast - **Tone**: Cool icy blondes, warm honey tones, or anything in between - **Combination work**: Add a root shadow for depth, or blend with balayage for a softer finish Bring a few inspiration photos if you have them—it really helps, especially if you're trying highlights for the first time or switching up your usual look. And if you've had previous colour (especially box dye or dark tints), do mention it—it affects what's safely achievable in one visit. Our stylists are trained and experienced (we're a Keune Ambassador salon, and the team regularly attends training and industry events), so they'll work with your hair's history to get the best result without compromising condition. [Call to Book](tel:+441484722220) ## Frequently Asked Questions How much do half head highlights cost at Park Row? Half head highlights start from £60. The final price can vary depending on your hair length, thickness, and whether you add any extras like a cut, toner refresh, or treatment. Your stylist will confirm the cost during your consultation. How long does a half head highlights appointment take? The service typically takes around 75 minutes from start to finish, including application, processing, rinsing, toning, and blow-dry. Thicker or longer hair may take a little longer. What's the difference between half head and full head highlights? Half head highlights lighten roughly the top and front sections of your hair (around 50% or less), focusing brightness around your face and parting. Full head highlights cover all layers, including the underneath, for more overall lightness and coverage. How often will I need to get my highlights redone? Most clients return every 8–12 weeks for a root touch-up or refresh, depending on how quickly your hair grows and how much regrowth you're comfortable with. You might also want a toner top-up in between to keep the colour looking fresh. Can I get half head highlights if I've coloured my hair before? Yes, but previous colour (especially darker shades or box dye) will affect what's achievable in one session. Your stylist will assess your hair history during consultation and may recommend a gradual approach or a strand test to protect your hair's condition. Will I need a skin test before my highlights? A patch test is recommended before any colour service to check for allergic reactions to the products. If you're a new client or haven't had colour with us recently, please mention it when you book so we can arrange a test at least 48 hours before your appointment. What should I do to prepare for my appointment? Come with your hair clean or fairly clean (day-old hair is fine), and bring any inspiration photos if you have them. If you've used box dye, henna, or other home colour recently, let your stylist know when you book. How do I look after my highlights at home? Use a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, wash less often to preserve tone, apply a hydrating mask weekly, and protect your hair with heat-defence spray before styling. The team can recommend Keune products that suit your hair. Can half head highlights be combined with other services? Absolutely. You can add a cut, blow-dry, root tint, toner refresh, or a treatment like Olaplex to your appointment. Just let us know what you're after when you book, and your stylist will talk through timing and cost. Do you offer free consultations for new clients? Yes, we offer free 15-minute consultations for new clients. It's a great chance to meet your stylist, talk through what you want, and get advice on what will work best for your hair before you commit to booking. this includes a toner ... if toner not used discount £10 [Call to Book](tel:+441484722220) ## Available Team Members These team members perform this service - ![Smiling blonde woman in black high-collar jacket against pale gray background](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fblonde-woman-professional-headshot-48x48.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a0205f7606080d2b25cc1a2%26v%3D1779446089513&w=96&q=75&dpl=dpl_DEc4fGhEc1SCRZZutzoEsRuDy1CJ) Lynzie Senior Stylist [View](/team-members/lynzie) - ![Smiling woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair wearing a black leather apron against a pale wall](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fsmiling-woman-black-leather-apron-48x64.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a0205f7606080d2b25cc1a2%26v%3D1782221459670&w=96&q=75&dpl=dpl_DEc4fGhEc1SCRZZutzoEsRuDy1CJ) Beckie Senior Stylist [View](/team-members/beckie) - ![Smiling woman with straight blonde hair wearing a black uniform against a white background](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fsmiling-woman-black-uniform-white-background-48x48.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a0205f7606080d2b25cc1a2%26v%3D1779446081934&w=96&q=75&dpl=dpl_DEc4fGhEc1SCRZZutzoEsRuDy1CJ) Alicia Senior Stylist [View](/team-members/alicia) - ![Salon interior with stylists and clients, overlaid text reading 'PARK ROW' and 'NEW IMAGE COMING SOON'](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fpark-row-new-image-coming-soon-48x48.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a0205f7606080d2b25cc1a2%26v%3D1779446082738&w=96&q=75&dpl=dpl_DEc4fGhEc1SCRZZutzoEsRuDy1CJ) Jess Stylist [View](/team-members/jess) - ![Salon interior with stylists and clients, overlaid text reading 'PARK ROW' and 'NEW IMAGE COMING SOON'](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fpark-row-new-image-coming-soon-48x48.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a0205f7606080d2b25cc1a2%26v%3D1779446082738&w=96&q=75&dpl=dpl_DEc4fGhEc1SCRZZutzoEsRuDy1CJ) Imogen Saturday help [View](/team-members/imogen) ## Related Services Complete your experience with these services - Money Piece Highlights From £25•60 mins [View](/services/money-piece-highlights) - Half Head Highlights + Colour From £75•105 mins [View](/services/half-head-highlights-colour) - Full Head Highlights + Colour From £87•105 mins [View](/services/full-head-highlights-colour) - Full Head Highlights From £70•90 mins [View](/services/full-head-highlights) - T-Section Highlights From £47•75 mins [View](/services/t-section-highlights) ## Related Blog Posts - [![Smiling woman with shoulder-length brown hair, hoop earring, bare shoulders on gray background](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fsmiling-woman-brown-hair-hoop-earring-gray-background.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a0205f7606080d2b25cc1a2%26v%3D1780386443020&w=1536&q=75&dpl=dpl_DEc4fGhEc1SCRZZutzoEsRuDy1CJ) ### How to care for coloured hair between appointments Practical advice from a Keune Ambassador salon in Brighouse on how to care for coloured hair between appointments and keep your colour looking fresh.
