Full head highlights deliver bright, even lift with tailored dimension from hairline to crown. A custom toner refines the shade for a flattering, polished finish. Expect soft grow-out and colour that enhances your cut, whether you prefer natural, classic or statement blonding.
More information
What's Included
Everything needed for bright, seamless highlights from root to tip.
- Personal consultation to map your goals, maintenance level and skin tone.
- Custom foil placement across the full head for even brightness and dimension.
- Professional lightener application with careful processing and strand checks.
- Toner or gloss to refine shade, neutralise warmth and add shine.
- Cleanse, condition and blow-dry to reveal the result.
- Styling advice and homecare recommendations.
- Option to add a haircut or strengthening treatment if desired.
Who It's For
Ideal if you want your whole look lifted, from soft sun-kissed brightness to high-impact blonde. Great for diffusing early greys and creating dimension on any base.
Works on straight, wavy or curly hair and suits all genders. We tailor foil size, placement and tone to your texture, density and maintenance preference.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow 135 to 150 minutes for a full head of highlights, including consultation, foiling, processing, toning and a professional finish. Adding a haircut or intensive treatment will require extra time, so mention this when you book.
Arrive with hair that is dry and free from heavy oils or styling build-up. For events, book 1 to 2 weeks ahead to allow for a toner tweak if needed.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Wait 48 hours before your first wash to help the cuticle settle. Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, and protect with heat spray before styling.
Neutralise warmth with a violet or blue shampoo once a week, adjusting to your tone. Treat lengths with a nourishing mask weekly to keep ends glossy.
Most clients refresh toner at 4 to 6 weeks and book new highlights at 8 to 12 weeks. You can alternate full and half head appointments to manage regrowth and time.

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!
