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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Money Piece colour?
A Money Piece is a brighter, lighter section of colour placed around the front hairline and parting. It gives a face framing lift without colouring the whole head. The tone can be warm, neutral, or cool depending on what suits you.
Is a toner included in the price of a Money Piece?
No, toner is a separate service and is charged in addition to the service price. Toning is what keeps the finish looking clean and glossy rather than brassy, so your stylist will talk you through whether it is worth adding before anything is applied.
Is a Money Piece lower maintenance than full highlights?
Usually, yes, because it is focused at the front rather than through every section. You may still want the tone refreshed to keep it looking clean and glossy, which is a separately charged service. Your stylist can suggest a realistic plan based on how fast your hair grows and what shade you choose.
Will a Money Piece work on dark hair or previously coloured hair?
It often can, but the achievable brightness depends on your starting colour and any previous dye. Sometimes it is best done in stages to protect hair condition and keep the tone even. Your consultation will cover what is realistic for your hair today.
Do I need a patch test before a Money Piece appointment?
A patch test may be needed for certain colour products, especially if you are new to colour or have not had it for a while. It is a simple safety check and can be arranged ahead of your appointment. If you are unsure, ask when booking.
How do I keep my Money Piece from going brassy?
Toning makes a big difference, so the right toner choice is key, and it is charged as a separate service. At home, using the right shampoo and limiting heat helps keep the tone cleaner for longer. If warmth starts to show through, a quick tone refresh can bring it back on track.
