It can be soft and natural or brighter and more defined, depending on what suits your hair, skin tone, and day to day styling. In Grange Park, Northampton, this service is ideal when you want a fresh, polished change that still grows out neatly. ## What a money piece includes A focused colour appointment that puts brightness exactly where it makes the most impact. - A consultation on your current colour, hair condition, and the finish you want - Thoughtful placement around the hairline for a flattering, face brightening result - Lightening where needed, with a condition first approach - A blow dry finish so you can see the tone and placement properly - Home care and maintenance advice to keep the colour looking clean and your hair feeling good ### Who it suits A money piece works well if you want a noticeable refresh, but you do not want the time or commitment of full highlights. It is a great option if: - Your existing colour feels a bit flat around the face - You wear your hair up and want brightness at the front - You want a softer grow out between bigger colour appointments - You are trying lighter pieces for the first time and want a wearable change ### How the appointment works Your appointment is planned around your starting colour and how bright you want to go. We begin with a clear chat about placement, tone, and upkeep, then create the face framing sections with careful sectioning for a clean finish. The appointment typically takes around 90 minutes. If a toner is needed to perfect the shade, that is booked and charged separately. ### Aftercare and upkeep To keep your money piece looking fresh, you will usually need a purple shampoo only if advised, plus a good conditioner and heat protection. Most people top up the brightness every few months, and a quick toner refresh can help if the tone starts to feel warm. We will guide you towards a plan that fits your diary and how often you like to visit.

Lovely friendly service. Will definitely return ## Frequently Asked Questions What is a money piece? A money piece is a lighter, face framing section at the front of your hair. It adds brightness around the face and can be subtle or bold. It is a great way to refresh your colour without full highlights. Will a money piece suit my hair colour and skin tone? Yes, the placement and tone can be adjusted to suit you. We will look at your natural base, your current colour, and whether you prefer warm or cool tones. The aim is a brightening effect that still looks natural on you. Do I need a toner with a money piece? Not always, but toning is often what makes the colour look polished rather than brassy. If your hair lifts warm, a toner can refine the shade to soft beige, caramel, or cooler tones. If needed, it is booked and charged separately. How long does a money piece last and what upkeep is involved? Many clients enjoy it for several weeks to a few months, depending on how fast their hair grows and how bright it is. Using colour friendly products and heat protection helps it stay glossy. We can suggest a simple refresh plan that fits your routine. Do I need a patch test before my appointment? A patch test may be required for colour services, especially if you are new to them or have not had one recently. It is a quick, reassuring safety step. If it applies to you, we will let you know what to do when you book.
