More information

What this service covers

This appointment is designed to refresh your whole colour, not just one area, with a focus on soft blending and healthy looking shine.

  • A thorough consultation to agree your goal shade, placement, and maintenance plan
  • Full head foils to lift and add dimension from crown to nape
  • Root colour to tidy regrowth, adjust your base, or help blend greys
  • Careful sectioning and placement for an even result and balanced tone
  • A professional cleanse and finish, with styling suited to how you wear your hair
  • Product and at home care guidance to protect condition and colour

Who it is best for

This service is a great fit if your colour feels overall dull, your regrowth is noticeable, or your highlights have lost their shape.

  • You want a brighter all over look, not just face framing pieces
  • You need your roots refreshed while keeping dimension through the lengths
  • You prefer a softer grow out that still looks polished between visits
  • You want a colour plan that suits work, weekends, and a busy diary

What to expect on the day

Your appointment starts with a clear chat about your hair history, your target shade, and how often you realistically want to maintain it. Foils are placed throughout the head, then your root colour is applied to create a seamless blend from scalp to ends.

A toner may be recommended to refine the final shade, for example to soften warmth or enhance coolness, and this is booked as an additional step when needed. For new colour clients, or if you have not had colour for a while, a patch test may be required, it is quick and done in a reassuring, straightforward way.

Aftercare and maintenance

To keep your colour looking fresh, you will be guided on simple, practical upkeep.

  • Use colour friendly shampoo and conditioner and keep heat gentle
  • Book regular trims if your ends feel dry or fragile after lightening
  • Plan ahead for root regrowth, especially if you cover greys
  • Consider a refresh toner between full appointments if your tone fades quickly

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between full head foils and a half head?
Full head foils place highlights throughout the whole head, including the back and lower sections, for a more all over result. A half head focuses on the top and sides, which can feel softer and lower maintenance.
Will this cover my roots and greys as well as add highlights?
Yes, the root colour is used to refresh regrowth and help blend or cover greys, while the foils add lighter pieces through the lengths. The balance between coverage and brightness is tailored to you.
Do I need a toner with full head foils and roots?
Not always, but a toner is often recommended to fine tune the final shade after lightening. It can help reduce unwanted warmth, boost shine, and create a more polished finish.
How long will my colour last and when should I come back?
Most clients rebook based on how quickly their roots show and how bright they like their highlights. You will be advised on a realistic timeframe for root maintenance, plus optional refresh appointments if your tone fades sooner.
Can I have this done if I have used box dye or darker colour at home?
Often yes, but it depends on what is already on your hair and how it has lifted before. Let your stylist know your colour history so the plan can be adjusted to protect condition and avoid uneven results.
