Root Tint and Hairline Highlights refresh your colour where it shows first: the parting, hairline and temples. It combines precise root coverage with subtle, face-framing lightness, so greys are blended, regrowth looks softer, and the front of your hair stays bright and well-defined between appointments.

More information

What Root Tint and Hairline Highlights delivers

A focused colour service designed for elegant maintenance and a fresher, brighter hairline.

  • Root tint through the regrowth for seamless coverage at the parting and hairline.
  • Fine hairline highlights to soften the front and add dimension around the face.
  • Careful placement at the temples and hairline for a natural, low-contrast blend.
  • Toner or gloss (as needed) to refine warmth, coolness, or depth for a cleaner finish.
  • Conditioning support during the service to keep colour looking glossy and hair feeling smooth.
  • Blow-dry finish so you can see the placement, tone, and blend in natural movement.

Root tint with a lighter hairline for softer regrowth

If your roots show quickly but you do not want a heavy, flat block of colour, this combination keeps coverage precise while lifting the front. Hairline highlights help blur the line where new growth meets coloured hair, especially around the face where regrowth is most noticeable.

How the Root Tint and Hairline Highlights appointment is structured

You can expect a thorough consultation on your natural base, grey pattern, and the tone you want at the front. The root tint is applied first for accurate coverage, then delicate highlights are added around the hairline and parting for a refined, face-framing result. After processing, the colour is rinsed and refined with a toner or gloss if needed, then finished with a blow-dry.

Keeping the colour looking polished between visits

To maintain clean regrowth and a bright hairline, book root maintenance regularly and refresh hairline highlights when the front starts to look flat or overly warm. Use colour-safe shampoo, minimise heat where possible, and bring photos of your preferred tone if you like a consistent result.

    I’ve had a lovely experience at The Salon last week with Carlos doing my Highlights for my birthday . He was very professional and understanding of what I was looking for. His attention to detail was amazing and he made me leave the salon absolutely delighted with my natural highlights. Just what I wanted. Excellent, thank you Carlos for your service and hospitality. Truly amazing ❤️

    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 Root Tint and Hairline Highlights and a full head colour?
A root tint focuses on regrowth rather than colouring the full length, while hairline highlights brighten just the front and parting. It is designed to look fresh and refined without committing to a full head service.
Will this cover greys around my hairline and parting?
Yes, the root tint targets the areas where greys typically show first, including the parting and hairline. The hairline highlights then soften the edge so regrowth is less obvious as it comes through.
Can you match my existing colour and highlights?
That is the aim. Your colourist will assess your current shade, previous colour work, and how your hair lifts at the front, then choose a root formula and highlight tone that sit naturally with your lengths.
How often should I book Root Tint and Hairline Highlights?
Most clients maintain the root tint every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on regrowth and grey coverage. Hairline highlights can be refreshed less often, typically every 8 to 12 weeks, to keep the front bright.
Does this work with balayage or previously highlighted hair?
Yes, it can be used to maintain balayage or highlights by keeping the roots tidy and brightening the hairline. Your colourist will adjust placement and tone to avoid stripy regrowth and keep the blend soft.
