A Money Piece is a face framing colour service that lifts and brightens the hair around your hairline for a fresh, instantly polished look. It is ideal if you want noticeable lightness without committing to a full head of highlights, with careful placement to suit your skin tone and your day to day styling. If your shade needs refining after lifting, a toner may be recommended, this is charged separately and in addition to the service price.
More information
What your Money Piece colour appointment includes
A Money Piece focuses on the front sections, so you get maximum impact around the face with a softer, more natural blend through the rest of the hair.
- A quick, clear consultation on the brightness you want and how you wear your hair day to day
- Precise sectioning around the hairline and parting for a balanced, symmetrical result
- Lightening through the face framing panels, with timings checked carefully
- A smooth blow dry finish, with simple styling tips to show the colour placement
- Practical advice on upkeep, including how often you might want a tone refresh
- Toning can be added to refine the shade, reduce brassiness, or add a softer beige or creamy finish. Toner is charged separately and in addition to the service price.
Money Piece results that suit real life
This service works well if you want a lighter, brighter look without the maintenance of full highlights.
- Great for first time colour, or if you want a change that still feels natural
- Ideal if you wear your hair up often and want brightness around the face
- A smart refresh between balayage or highlight appointments
- Useful for softening regrowth and adding definition around the front
How the Money Piece service is delivered, step by step
Your appointment starts with a chat about your current colour, your hair condition, and the finish you want. The face framing sections are lightened with controlled placement, and we will talk through whether a toner would bring the shade to the right level for your overall look, which is charged separately and in addition to the service price. The service is finished with a blow dry so you can see how the Money Piece sits with your cut and parting.
Aftercare and keeping the tone looking clean
To keep your Money Piece looking fresh, use a good heat protectant and avoid over washing where possible. If you go noticeably lighter, a purple shampoo can help keep the tone cooler, but it should be used only as advised to avoid over toning. A quick toner or gloss refresh can bring the brightness back when it starts to fade, and this is booked and charged as a separate service.
