Full Head Highlights are designed to lighten and brighten your hair all over with clean, even placement and a refined, natural-looking finish. It is the right choice when you want noticeable dimension, softer regrowth, and colour that looks polished in daylight as well as indoors.
More information
What a Full Head Highlights appointment includes
Full Head Highlights work through the whole head, not just the top layers, so the result looks consistent whether your hair is worn down, tucked behind the ears, or styled up.
- A colour consultation to agree your target tone, how bright you want to go, and how your highlights should sit against your base colour.
- Precise sectioning and foiling throughout the head for even lift and balanced brightness.
- Considered placement around the hairline and parting for a softer, more flattering frame.
- Lightening development monitored so the lift stays controlled and the hair remains in good condition.
- A toner or gloss to refine warmth, add shine, and create a more seamless blend from roots to ends.
- Cleanse and finish so you can see the placement, tone, and movement of the highlights.
Full Head Highlights for brightening, grey blending, and a softer grow-out
This service suits you if you want your colour to read lighter through the lengths, not just on the surface. It is also a strong option when you are blending scattered greys, reducing contrast at the root, or moving from a darker base to a more dimensional blonde over a series of appointments. If you prefer an elegant result rather than obvious striping, ask for finer weaves and a softer tonal finish.
How long Full Head Highlights take and what affects timing
Allow around three hours, depending on hair length and thickness, your starting colour, and how light you want the final result. More brightness usually means more foils, careful saturation, and extra time for toning to land on a precise shade. If you are refreshing previously highlighted hair, timing may also include balancing the mid-lengths and ends.
Keeping Full Head Highlights looking refined between appointments
To maintain a polished tone, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and minimise excessive heat. A toner refresh or gloss between full highlight appointments can keep brassiness under control and restore shine, especially in brighter blondes. Most clients book a maintenance plan based on regrowth speed and how bright the highlight is through the hairline and parting.

Absolutely love having my colour done here every two months, the salon has a great atmosphere and Lily is probably the best colourist I've ever met! She is thorough and friendly and knows exactly what she's doing. I recommend her to all my friends who have highlights/natural blonde hair.

Carlos is one of the best hair colourists i have ever encountered in my life! He did blonde highlights on me when i am naturally brunette and very deteriorated curly bleached hair that has been destroyed by another salon. Carlos did highlights on my bleached hair and after his careful hands, i feel he didn't harm a single strand of hair and it's as if he brought life into it. God bless him. This is a salon to go without a worry in the world because they actually do what they say they would.

I just want to say a big thank you to Carlos for making me look Fabulous by his magic touch having done my highlights to absolute perfection and I hasten to add the attention he gave me as to making sure that I went without wanting for anything. He’s a complete gentleman and very sweet by nature in every aspect. Carlos even made sure that I had a hair cut to compliment his work with Simon who I believe was the owner. Simon did an absolutely amazing job on my style and he made me feel comfortable As to even recommending me different styles and ways of wearing my hair. An absolute professional I must say. Thank you both very much for my experience and I’ll be back very soon without a doubt. Amazing

Carlos was very friendly and welcoming. He listened to what I wanted and made me feel even more comfortable by responding with recommendations of what he would suit me and what would be best to maintain for the condition of my hair and the long term health benefits. The Colour has been done beautifully and I’ve never had so many compliments on my Highlights in the last 3 weeks. Carlos is very good at his craft and he even washed my hair which I can only describe as mesmerizing and completely amazing. Thank you Carlos. Truly Professional and very good at your craft. Thankyou 💫

I have used Simon Warwick for many years. Lovely clean, friendly salon in Maida Vale. Easy to use online booking system. But by far the most important, they are top-quality hairdressers. Always a fabulous cut, historically I have also had colour and highlights and without exception have been delighted with the results. Thx Simon and team!
