Dimensional colour. Seamless coverage. Expertly balanced.
Our Highlights and Tint (Half Head) service is the perfect choice for clients who want the brightness of highlights with the consistency of all-over colour. It’s a tailored combination that offers both depth and polish — all in one appointment.

What’s Included

This dual service involves applying highlights through the top and sides of the hair (a half-head application), while a root or full-base tint is used to cover greys or blend your natural colour in between. The result is a harmonious balance of light and depth, ideal for clients who want dimension without compromising coverage.

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation. We’ll assess your natural shade, colour history, skin tone, and lifestyle to design a personalised blend of tones. Highlights are then carefully placed to enhance movement and brightness, while the tint ensures a clean, consistent base — whether you're covering greys, refreshing your natural tone, or adjusting warmth.

The colour is followed by a gloss or toner to refine the finish, and we recommend pairing with a professional blow-dry or cut for a complete result.

Who It’s For

This service is ideal for clients who:

  • Have natural regrowth or greys and want soft, multi-tonal colour
  • Like the brightness of highlights but want fuller coverage at the roots
  • Prefer a low-contrast, blended finish that grows out softly
  • Are maintaining a previous colour and need both lift and coverage

It’s particularly popular among clients who colour regularly and want a polished but natural look.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Expect to spend approximately 2 to 3 hours in the salon, depending on hair length, thickness, and whether a cut or blow-dry is included. This allows time for careful application, colour processing, and finishing with the detail Simon Warwick Salons is known for.

How Often Should You Book?

We typically recommend booking this service every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain root coverage and brightness. Your colourist will also advise on at-home care to prolong the tone and keep your hair in excellent condition.

For beautifully blended results from expert hairdressers London, trust the Highlights and Tint service at Simon Warwick Salons — where colour is always personalised, polished, and delivered with care.

    Carlos did an amazing job with my hair color! I got baby highlights, and the result is absolutely top quality—so natural, soft, and beautifully blended. He really knows what he’s doing and pays close attention to detail. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Highly recommend Carlos if you’re looking for someone truly talented and professional!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a half head and a full head of highlights?
A half head covers the parting, crown and face-framing sections where brightness is most visible. A full head includes the underneath and back for all-over lightness. We will advise which suits your goals and upkeep.
Will this service cover my grey hair?
Yes. The root tint provides seamless coverage while highlights add soft dimension so the result looks natural. We tailor the tint strength and tone to your hair and maintenance goals.
How long will the colour last?
Root tint usually lasts 4-6 weeks before regrowth shows. Highlights through the top last 8-12 weeks, and a toner can refresh shine and tone between visits.
Is this suitable for brunettes or darker hair?
Absolutely. Fine foils lift selectively to avoid striping, and the tint blends the base for a polished finish. We adjust foil spacing and tone to suit your depth and complexion.
Do I need a skin test before the tint?
A skin sensitivity test may be required at least 48 hours before your appointment, especially if you are new or there has been a long gap. We will confirm when you book.
