Full head highlights are combined with a targeted retouch tint between foils to soften regrowth, brighten your overall tone and keep flattering depth. Expect luminous dimension that grows out softly and styles effortlessly. ## What's Included Everything is tailored to your hair, tone and maintenance goals. - Personal colour consultation and plan. - Full head foils placed to enhance your cut, parting and hairline. - Retouch tint between foils to blend or cover regrowth, including grey. - Shade refinement for a seamless, flattering tone. - Cleanse, condition and a smooth style to reveal your result. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want all-over brightness with softer regrowth and reliable coverage. Works for subtle, natural dimension or bold, high-contrast highlights. Suited to most hair colours, textures and lengths, and inclusive of all genders. A strong choice if you are blending early greys or want your colour to feel fresher for longer between appointments. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 2 hours 45 minutes for the service. Very long, thick or previously coloured hair may need extra time so we can lift evenly and protect the condition. If you are new to colour with us, a quick skin test is required at least 48 hours before your visit. If you plan to add a haircut or a treatment, please factor in additional time. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus heat protection whenever you style. A weekly mask helps keep highlights hydrated and smooth. Refresh the toner or gloss every 4 to 6 weeks if you like a precise shade. Plan highlight maintenance every 8 to 12 weeks, with a root retouch at 4 to 6 weeks if you prefer full coverage. Limit heat, rinse after swimming and use a purple or blue shampoo as advised to control warmth.

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! ## Frequently Asked Questions Will this cover my greys? Yes. The retouch tint between foils can provide reliable grey coverage or subtle blending, while the highlights add brightness and dimension. We tailor the approach to your preference. How is this different from balayage or highlights alone? Balayage is hand-painted and often softer at the root. This service uses foils for lift across the whole head plus a tint between foils to soften or cover regrowth, giving a brighter, more even result. Will it damage my hair? Lightening changes the hair, but careful formulation and controlled processing help protect condition. We recommend bond-building and moisture care during and after your service to maintain strength and shine. How long will the result last and when should I book? Most clients refresh highlights every 8 to 12 weeks. For consistent coverage, book a root retouch at 4 to 6 weeks and consider a toner refresh between visits to keep the shade on point. Do I need a skin test before colour? Yes. New colour clients require a quick skin test at least 48 hours before the appointment to ensure comfort and safety.
