More information

What's Included

A focused colour service that keeps depth underneath for a natural, dimensional look.

  • Personal consultation to map placement, tone and maintenance plan.
  • Precision foils through the top, crown and sides for controlled lift.
  • Lightener strength and timing tailored to your hair type and goal.
  • Toner or gloss, if needed, to refine hue and add shine.
  • Cleanse, conditioning care and a professional blow-dry to reveal the result.

Who It's For

Choose this service if you want a soft refresh, face-framing lightness or grey blending without a full colour overhaul. It suits natural, low-maintenance looks as well as bolder, high-contrast placements.

For all genders, all textures and most starting colours. Ideal for maintaining a previous balayage, topping up brightness between full-head sessions or adding dimension to a one-length tint.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 120 minutes. Timing covers consultation, foiling, processing, rinse, toning if required, and a smooth blow-dry.

Thick, long or highly textured hair may need extra time. If you want a haircut as well, book it with your colour so we can refine the shape and finish.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, and a heat protectant before styling. A purple or blue shampoo once a week can help control warmth, depending on your shade.

Plan maintenance every 8 to 12 weeks, with a toner or gloss refresh at 4 to 6 weeks to keep the tone clean and shiny. Nourish with a weekly mask or bond-care, and limit high heat.

Results depend on your starting shade and colour history. We will guide you on a plan that protects your hair and sustains the tone you love.

    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!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between half head and full head highlights?
Half head highlights cover the top, crown and sides, leaving the underneath natural to keep soft depth. Full head highlights add light throughout the whole head for maximum coverage. Half head gives a dimensional look with a softer grow-out.
Can half head highlights blend grey hair?
Yes. Strategic foils can soften and scatter grey for a natural blend. If you want full coverage, you may pair highlights with a root tint for a seamless result.
How light can I go in one appointment?
It depends on your starting colour, condition and any previous colour. Dark or previously coloured hair may need staged sessions for a healthy lift. Your colourist will set realistic targets to protect hair integrity.
Will this work on curly or textured hair?
Yes. Placement is tailored to your curl pattern to enhance definition and avoid harsh lines. Techniques like a diffused root or smudge keep the grow-out soft on textured hair.
Do I need a toner after highlights?
Often a toner or gloss is recommended to refine the shade, neutralise warmth and add shine. Your colourist will advise on the tone and whether a refresh is helpful between visits.
