Parting Highlights focus on your parting and hairline to refresh colour, frame the face and keep regrowth soft between bigger colour services. Expect precise foiling, refined tone and a polished finish that looks effortless every day. ## What's Included A focused colour service with precision placement for a seamless, natural result. - Personal consultation to map your parting, hairline and goals. - Precision foils placed along the parting and around the face frame. - Custom lightening to suit your target shade and complexion. - Tone refinement for a seamless blend, shine and clarity. - Gentle cleanse, condition and a professional blow-dry finish. - Styling tips and a maintenance plan to extend your result. ### Who It's For Perfect if you want visible brightness with minimal commitment. It refreshes your look between balayage or full highlights, adds lift for up-dos and ponytails, and softens regrowth without an all-over colour. Ideal for clients who favour natural, low-maintenance colour, yet works equally well for bolder looks along the hairline. Suitable for all hair types, lengths and genders. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Your appointment is 105 minutes, including consultation and finish. Allow a little extra time if your hair is very thick. At your consultation we confirm your parting, tone and desired brightness. If you are seeking a bigger change or wider coverage, a half head or full highlight service may be recommended. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Wash with colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, apply a weekly strengthening mask and always use heat protection. For blondes, use a purple shampoo once a week to neutralise warmth. Book parting highlight top-ups every 6 to 10 weeks, depending on regrowth and contrast. In between, a quick toner can revive shine and keep your shade on point. Protect hair from UV and chlorine to preserve clarity.

Parting highlights target the parting and hairline only, adding brightness where it shows most. A half head covers the top and sides for fuller, overall lightness. Choose parting highlights for a quick refresh and low-maintenance upkeep. How often will I need a top-up? Most clients return every 6 to 10 weeks, depending on regrowth, contrast and personal preference. Your stylist will advise the best rhythm to keep the grow-out soft. Can this help blend grey around the hairline? Yes. Fine foils around the hairline can diffuse early greys and soften the contrast at the root. For stronger grey coverage, pairing with root colour may be suggested. Will it work on curly or textured hair? Absolutely. Foil placement is adapted to your curl pattern and how your hair sits, whether worn natural or blow-dried. The result keeps definition while brightening the face frame. Will lightening damage my hair? The service uses controlled application and timing to protect the hair while lifting. We will also recommend aftercare to maintain strength, softness and shine.
