Lifted colour. Subtle dimension. Tailored to you.
Our Half Head Highlights service at Simon Warwick Salons is a professional lightening treatment designed to enhance your natural colour with depth, brightness, and polish — all while maintaining a soft, effortless finish.

What’s Included

Half head highlights involve lightening selected sections of the hair — usually around the face, crown, and top layers — to add brightness, contrast, and movement. This service allows for noticeable enhancement without the commitment or upkeep of a full head of colour.

Your appointment begins with a personal consultation to understand your colour goals, natural base, and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for soft, sun-kissed ribbons or bolder, high-contrast placement, our expert colourists will customise the technique and tone to suit you.

After application and development, we tone the hair to refine the result — removing unwanted warmth or enhancing cool or golden tones — followed by a professional rinse, condition, and optional blow-dry.

Who It’s For

Half head highlights are ideal for clients who want to:

  • Brighten their natural colour without a full transformation
  • Soften greys or regrowth
  • Maintain a highlighted look with less upkeep
  • Add framing and dimension around the face and parting

It’s especially popular for mid to long hair but works beautifully across a variety of lengths and styles. Many of our clients alternate between full and half head appointments to maintain their colour with flexibility and ease.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow 1.5 to 2.5 hours for a half head highlight service, depending on your hair length, thickness, and whether you’re combining it with a cut or blow-dry. Your colourist will work with precision to ensure a clean, even lift and soft blend from root to tip.

How Often Should You Book?

We recommend booking half head highlights every 8 to 12 weeks to maintain brightness and tone. You may choose to visit sooner for a toner or gloss to keep the colour looking fresh. Your colourist will advise on the best schedule for your hair.

For beautifully blended results from experienced hairdressers London, Simon Warwick Salons offers expert highlighting with a personalised, polished approach — every time.
