Half Head Colour and Full Head Foils is a tailored colour appointment that combines a rich, wearable base shade with foils placed throughout the hair for brightness, depth and a softer grow out. It is ideal if you want your colour to look polished in real life, not overdone, with placement that suits your cut, your natural tone and how often you can realistically maintain it.

More information

What this appointment covers

You will leave with a balanced, blended colour that looks good from every angle and grows out more gently.

  • A thorough consultation to agree on your goal, tone and maintenance plan
  • A personalised base colour through the half head area to add depth, refine tone, or improve grey blending where suitable
  • Full head foils for lightness and dimension, placed to suit your parting and how you style your hair
  • Careful timing and checking while your colour processes
  • Cleanse and finish
  • A toner or gloss may be recommended to perfect the tone, this is charged separately

Who it suits best

This service is a good fit if you want noticeable brightness but still want your hair to feel wearable and low drama day to day. It works well if your previous highlights need rebalancing, or if you want more contrast around the face and through the lengths without losing depth at the root. If you are in Grange Park or Northampton and want a clear plan for upkeep, this is a practical option.

How the appointment runs

Your appointment is scheduled for around 165 minutes, depending on hair length, thickness and the look you are aiming for. We start with a consultation, then apply your base colour and place foils across the full head in sections to keep the result even and considered. After processing, we rinse, treat and finish your hair so you can see the tone and blend properly before you leave.

Aftercare and maintenance

We will talk you through simple at home care to help your colour stay glossy and your hair feel in good condition. Most clients refresh this type of colour on a regular cycle depending on how fast their hair grows and how light they like it, we will guide you on what is realistic. If you prefer a softer grow out, we can adjust placement and tone at your next visit to keep everything looking intentional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between half head colour and full head foils?
The base colour adds depth or refines tone through part of the hair, while full head foils add brightness and dimension throughout. Together, they create a more balanced result than either step alone. Your stylist will tailor the placement and tones to suit your hair and lifestyle.
Will I need a toner after foils?
Often yes, especially if you want a specific shade like cooler blonde, beige, or a softer lived in finish. Toner helps refine the final tone once the foils are rinsed. We will explain what it will achieve for your hair on the day.
Do I need a patch test for this service?
A patch test may be needed for colour appointments, especially if you are new to colour, have had a break from colouring, or have had any reactions in the past. It is a quick safety step and we will advise what you need before your appointment. This helps keep the service comfortable and low stress.
How long does the appointment take?
Please allow around 165 minutes. Timing can vary if your hair is very thick, long, or if we are correcting previous colour. We will keep you informed as we go so you know what to expect.
How often will I need to maintain it?
It depends on your natural regrowth, how bright you like your blonde, and how seamless you want the root area to look. Many clients come back regularly to keep the blend fresh, while others stretch it for a softer grow out. We will suggest a schedule that fits your routine.
