- Half Head Foil Highlights

Brighten your look with natural dimension and softness — the perfect refresh between full colour appointments.
What Are Half Head Highlights?
Half head foil highlights cover the top, crown, and sides of your hair, giving you a natural-looking brightness throughout the areas most seen when your hair is worn down or tied back. It’s a great way to add dimension, lift, and a sun-kissed finish without committing to a full head of foils.

Who Is It For?
This service is perfect for women looking to enhance their natural colour, add softness around the face, or blend away early signs of greys. It’s also a fantastic option for anyone maintaining an existing full head of highlights — offering a less time-intensive, more budget-friendly top-up that still delivers noticeable results.
How Long Does It Take?
A half head highlight appointment typically takes around 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on your hair length, thickness, and whether a toner is applied. The service includes application, processing, a professional cleanse and condition, and a beautiful blow-dry to finish.
What’s the Process?
You’ll begin with a friendly consultation to discuss your desired tone, placement, and overall look. Your stylist will apply foils through the top and sides, creating brightness and contrast throughout the most visible parts of your hair. Once processed, a toner may be used to refine the tone, followed by a professional blow-dry to complete your look.
How Often Is Maintenance Needed?
To keep your colour looking seamless and fresh, we recommend booking a half head highlight every 8 to 10 weeks, depending on your regrowth and the lightness of your chosen shade. Many clients alternate between full and half head appointments to maintain their colour affordably while always looking their best.

I had a full head of highlights, a trim, and a straighten. I was extremely impressed with the result and with Ela, the stylist who did it for me. Her attention to detail was perfect.
