Expect lifted, multi-dimensional colour with a softer grow-out and easier upkeep. Placement and tone are tailored to your features, haircut and lifestyle for a refined, flattering finish. ## What's Included Coverage where you see it most, with precise placement and tone control for a seamless blend. - Personal colour consultation to set your shade, placement and maintenance plan. - Bespoke foil placement across the top, crown and sides for balanced brightness. - Controlled lightening to the right level for your hair history and goals. - Tonal refinement to neutralise warmth or add sheen. - Cleanse, condition and a professional finish so you leave photo-ready. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want a noticeable refresh without a full-head commitment. It brightens your parting, hairline and crown, keeping soft depth underneath for a natural, dimensional result. Works for subtle through to bold looks. Great for blending early greys, softening regrowth lines and adding texture to fine hair. Suitable for all genders, hair types and lengths. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 135 minutes for this service. Timing varies with hair length, density and previous colour. If your hair is long, very thick or you are shifting several levels lighter, additional time may be required. Your appointment includes consultation, application, processing and rinse with tonal refine as needed. Arrive with dry, detangled hair for the most accurate colour assessment. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, and a heat protectant when styling. Purple or blue shampoo can be used occasionally to balance unwanted warmth. Plan highlight maintenance every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how soft you want your grow-out. A toner and blow-dry refresh at 4 to 6 weeks keeps your shade glossy between visits.

It places foils through the top, crown and sides while leaving some hair underneath untouched. You get high-impact brightness where it shows most, with softer regrowth and less upkeep than a full head. Will the result look natural? Yes. Placement is tailored to your haircut, parting and face shape, and the toner refines the shade for a seamless blend. Choose anything from soft sun-kissed brightness to bolder contrast. Is it suitable for grey blending? It works well to diffuse early greys by breaking up solid regrowth lines. For a high percentage of grey you may prefer pairing highlights with root coverage for the most even result. Will highlights damage my hair? Your colourist uses controlled lift, careful processing and protective care to respect hair strength. Follow with hydrating care at home and limit heat to keep your colour glossy. How long will it last and when should I book again? Most clients return every 8 to 12 weeks for highlights. A toner and finish at 4 to 6 weeks helps maintain tone and shine, especially on blonde shades.
