More information
What's Included
A focused, high-density application designed for bright, even results.
- Personal consultation to set goals, assess hair history and plan maintenance.
- Full head foiling with tight spacing for maximum brightness and minimal striping.
- Detailed hairline and parting work for a clean finish when hair is worn up or back.
- Controlled processing and gentle rinse to respect hair condition.
- Toner or gloss to refine shade and neutralise brassiness.
- Conditioning to restore pH and enhance shine.
- Aftercare guidance and a suggested rebooking window.
Who It's For
Ideal if you want overall brightness from roots to ends rather than a partial refresh. Great for blondes seeking a clean update, brunettes moving lighter in a measured way, or anyone who wants early greys diffused without a harsh regrowth line.
If you prefer an ultra soft, lived-in grow out, ask about alternative techniques like balayage. Your colourist will advise on the best route for your hair and diary.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow around 75 to 120 minutes, depending on hair length, density and the level of lift required. Extra time may be needed if your hair is long, very thick or has previous colour build-up.
If you plan to add a cut or blow-dry, book these with your colour so timings align. Arrive with clean, dry hair and avoid heavy oils or styling products on the day.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use a gentle, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus heat protection when styling. A weekly mask supports strength and shine.
To keep tone fresh, use purple shampoo as advised and consider a gloss or toner top-up at 4 to 6 weeks. Rebook full highlights every 8 to 12 weeks, or choose a parting and hairline refresh between full appointments.
Limit heat, rinse after swimming and consider a chelating treatment if you have hard water. These steps keep your blonde clear and reflective.

Hannah is brilliant! Today she did my full head of highlights and as usual it’s perfection. I absolutely love her passion and she’s a complete perfectionist! My hair is really not easy, I have a lot of hair and it takes a lot longer but Hannah remains so committed throughout. See you next time lovely X
