A precise root tint evens your base and softens greys while a handful of targeted foils lift the hairline or parting for a natural, polished finish that is easy to maintain. ## What's Included A focused colour service that delivers maximum impact with minimal placement. - Personal consultation and shade matching. - Regrowth tint application for even coverage and tone. - Up to five foils at the hairline or parting to add brightness or depth. - Professional processing, cleanse and condition. - Dry and finish to reveal the result. - Personalised aftercare advice. ### Who It's For Perfect if you want reliable grey coverage with a touch of light where you see it most. Ideal for brightening the face, softening a strong parting or refreshing colour between larger highlight or balayage appointments. It suits natural, classic and trend-led styles, and works across all hair types, textures and genders. If you prefer bolder, high-contrast colour, your stylist may recommend a different highlighting service. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 120 minutes for consultation, application, processing and finish. Very thick or long hair, or complex colour history, may require a slightly longer appointment or a different service to achieve your goal. A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before colour if you are new, have not had colour recently, or your health has changed. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and a heat protectant when styling. Wash with lukewarm water and limit heat to help your tone last. If your foils are lightened, use a purple or blue toning product as advised to control warmth. Plan regrowth appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. Refresh the foils every 8 to 12 weeks, or sooner if you want more brightness. Glossing top-ups between visits can refine tone and add shine.

Even coverage at the roots with soft dimension where it makes the most difference. Expect brightness around the face or along your parting for a natural, blended finish. Is this enough if I want noticeable highlights? For high-impact lightness, you may need partial or full highlights or balayage. This service is designed for subtle dimension. Your stylist will advise the best route for your goal. Will it cover grey hair effectively? Yes. The root tint is formulated to cover greys and blend regrowth smoothly. The foils add light or depth so the result looks natural rather than flat. How often should I book to maintain the look? Most clients return every 4 to 6 weeks for regrowth, with foils refreshed every 8 to 12 weeks. Your lifestyle, percentage of grey and desired brightness will guide the timing. Do I need a skin test before my appointment? A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before colour if you are new, have not had colour in six months, or your medical history has changed. This keeps you safe and ensures the best result.
