A Full Head Colour with Full Head Foils is the service to choose when you want a complete refresh, not just a few highlights. It combines an all over base colour with foils throughout the head to brighten, blend and add dimension, while keeping the end result wearable and suited to everyday life. Expect a calm, thorough consultation, careful sectioning, and a finish that looks polished now and grows out in a way that feels manageable.

More information

What this service covers

This appointment is designed for a full transformation or a proper colour reset, with a result that feels even, glossy and thoughtfully placed.

  • A detailed consultation to agree your goal shade, warmth level and maintenance plan
  • Full head foil placement for brightness, softness and dimension
  • Full head base colour where needed for depth, grey coverage, or an all over change
  • Condition minded processing with timing tailored to your hair
  • A finish that suits your cut and styling routine

Who it is best for

This is a good fit if you:

  • Want noticeably lighter hair, or a more blended blonde, all over
  • Need grey coverage but still want brightness through the lengths
  • Feel your current colour looks patchy, too warm, or flat
  • Want a more seamless grow out than a single block colour

What happens on the day

We start with a consultation, then section and apply foils across the whole head, followed by the all over colour where required. You will usually need to allow around 195 minutes, as careful placement and timing make a big difference to the final finish. If you are new to colour with us, or it has been a while since your last colour appointment, a patch test may be required in advance.

Aftercare and keeping your colour looking fresh

We will talk you through simple aftercare based on your shade and hair condition, including how often to wash, heat protection, and the best way to keep shine. You will also get a realistic plan for when to book your next refresh, whether that is a full redo, a top up, or a softer maintenance option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a full head colour and full head foils?
A full head colour is one shade applied all over for an even result. Full head foils add lighter or darker pieces throughout to create brightness and dimension. This service combines both, so the overall colour looks richer and more blended.
How long should I allow for a full head colour and full head foils?
Please allow around 195 minutes. Timing can vary slightly depending on your hair length, thickness and the end result you want. We will confirm a realistic plan during your consultation.
Will I need a patch test before my appointment?
For colour services, a patch test is sometimes needed, especially if you are new to colour or have not had colour for a while. It is a quick step to help keep things safe and comfortable. If it applies to you, we will let you know what to do.
Do I need a toner with this service?
A toner is often recommended to refine the shade after lightening, for example to soften warmth or create a cleaner blonde. It is a separate step that we tailor to your goal and how your hair lifts. We will advise you honestly based on what will make the biggest difference.
How do I look after my colour at home?
Use a colour friendly shampoo and conditioner, and keep heat styling gentle with a good heat protectant. Try not to over wash, and book regular trims to keep the ends looking fresh. We can recommend a simple routine based on your hair type and colour.
