Who books Half Head Highlights and Tint for subtle, reliable colour
This service suits you if you want lighter pieces around the top and face but do not want a full head of foils. It is also a strong option if your priorities are consistent root colour, softened greys and a brightened overall look that still feels natural.
How half head foils and tint are approached in the appointment
You will start with a consultation to agree the level of brightness, how warm or cool you want the highlights, and where you see greys most. Highlights are placed in foils to create dimension, then the tint is applied to the agreed areas for coverage and balance. After processing, the hair is cleansed and toned or glossed to polish the result before finishing.
Keeping the tint and highlights looking fresh between appointments
Use colour safe shampoo and a weekly conditioning mask to maintain shine and manage dryness from lightening. Heat protection helps preserve tone and reduces fading. Most clients maintain the tint and placement on a 6 to 8 week rhythm, with occasional toner refreshes if the hair starts to look warmer than you like.
