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. ## 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.

You still get brightness where it shows most, with a softer grow-out and a shorter appointment than a full head. Will this service cover my grey hair? Yes. The retouch tint between foils covers or blends greys at the root while the highlights add dimension for a natural result. How long will the colour last before I need a top-up? Root regrowth usually shows at 4 to 8 weeks depending on your hair. Highlights often look fresh for 8 to 12 weeks, and a toner top-up every 4 to 6 weeks helps keep your shade refined. Do I need a skin test before my appointment? Yes, for safety a skin test is required before any tint is applied. Arrange it at least 48 hours before your colour if you are new, have had a break from colour, or your health has changed. Can I achieve a big colour change with this service? This service is best for maintenance or moderate lightening. For a major shift, such as taking very dark hair much lighter or a complete tone change, book a colour consultation to plan the process.
