Expect refined brightness, soft regrowth and a healthy, high-shine finish. Placement and shade are tailored to your skin tone, lifestyle and maintenance plan. ## What's Included Your colour is bespoke from consultation to finish. - In-depth consultation on goals, colour history and maintenance. - Custom foil placement across the full head, adjusted for density and parting. - Controlled lightening for even lift with minimal stress on the hair. - Semi-permanent colour or gloss to refine tone, enhance shine and blend greys. - Optional root refinement for a softer grow-out where needed. - Rinse, condition and a smooth finish to reveal the result. - Personalised aftercare advice and a suggested maintenance schedule. ### Who It's For Choose this if you want all-over luminosity with believable, natural dimension. Ideal for brightening blonde or bronde looks, refreshing faded colour, or softening early greys without a solid, high-maintenance tint. Suitable for fine to thick hair, straight, wavy or curly. We can use ultra-fine weaves for a subtle veil or bolder ribbons for more impact, always balanced to flatter your features. If your hair is very dark and you want a dramatic shift in one visit, or you have banding from previous dyes, we may suggest a staged approach or a colour correction service. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow 75 to 90 minutes for most hair types. Thicker or longer hair, or complex colour history, may require additional time. If you would like a cut or blow-dry, add it when booking so we can reserve the right time for a polished finish. Please arrive with dry, detangled hair. A quick consultation at the chair confirms your plan. A skin test may be required at least 48 hours prior if colour will touch the scalp. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Your gloss typically stays fresh for 4 to 6 weeks, fading softly. Highlights grow out cleanly; most clients refresh foils every 8 to 12 weeks, with a gloss top-up between visits if you prefer. At home, use sulphate-free shampoo, a weekly moisture or bond mask, and heat protection with every style. For cooler tones, use a purple shampoo once a week. Rinse after swimming and protect hair from sun and chlorine. We will recommend products matched to your colour and hair type so your result lasts.

Full head highlights lift and brighten throughout, while a semi-permanent gloss refines tone, boosts shine and softens the blend. The finish looks polished, dimensional and natural. Will this blend grey hair? It softens and blends greys for a seamless look without a heavy, opaque root. For full coverage, we can adapt your plan or combine with a root tint. How long will the colour last? The gloss usually lasts 4 to 6 weeks and fades gracefully. Highlight regrowth typically appears around 8 to 12 weeks, depending on hair growth and contrast. Do I need a skin test? Yes, if colour will touch your scalp a skin test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment. This keeps your service safe and comfortable. Can I add a haircut or blow-dry? Yes. Request it when booking so we can allocate the right time and deliver a precise finish.
