Lighten and blend in one visit. This 3/4 head highlights service with retouch tint between foils brightens the crown and sides while covering regrowth. The result is multi-dimensional colour with a soft grow-out, tailored to your tone and lifestyle.
More information
What's Included
A focused colour service designed for brightness and seamless coverage.
- Bespoke colour consultation to map placement, tone and maintenance.
- 3/4 head foil highlights through crown, sides and upper back for lift and dimension.
- Retouch tint painted between foils to cover or blend regrowth and refine the base.
- Cleanse and condition to rebalance the hair after colouring.
- Toning and a professional blow-dry or cut and finish can be added on request.
Who It's For
Ideal if you want noticeable brightness and reliable coverage without committing to a full head of foils. Great for keeping the crown, parting and face area fresh between larger colour services.
Suited to all genders and hair types, from fine to coarse, straight to curly. Works for natural, classic or fashion-led looks, whether soft and sunlit or more defined contrast.
If you are seeking a major colour shift or a big lightening journey, book a colour consultation first to plan the safest route.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Please allow around 2 hours 30 minutes for this service. Timing varies with hair length, density and finish options.
New to tint or returning after six months? A quick skin test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus weekly hydration. Protect from heat with a thermal spray and minimise UV and chlorine exposure to preserve tone.
Plan root retouch every 6 to 8 weeks, with highlights refreshed around 8 to 12 weeks. A gloss or toner top-up every 4 to 6 weeks maintains a cooler or warmer finish. Add a bond-strengthening treatment in salon or at home to keep hair feeling strong.

I always leave this place feeling fantastic and so well looked after! Anyone that gets highlights done knows that this means spending a number of hours in a salon. It makes such a difference when it’s somewhere you enjoy being! Thank you to the team for creating such a lovely relaxing environment. Thank you of course to James for always taking such good care of my hair!
