Refresh your colour where it matters most. T-bar highlights focus on the parting and hairline to add face-framing lightness and revive your blonde or dimension between bigger appointments. Expect believable brightness, a soft grow-out and a polished look that works with your routine.
More information
What's Included
A focused, maintenance-friendly highlight service.
- Brief consultation to confirm tone, brightness and placement.
- Targeted foils through the parting and hairline - the classic T-section.
- Lift monitored for even lightening and a clean blend.
- Rinse and care at the basin, with guidance on finish options.
- Aftercare advice and a maintenance plan that fits your diary.
Who It's For
Ideal when regrowth shows on top and around the face, or when you want a quick refresh ahead of an event. It brightens and softens without the commitment of a larger colour service.
Suited to natural, low-maintenance styles, subtle grey blending and first-time highlight clients. Also works well between half or full head highlights to extend time between bigger services.
Duration & Appointment Timing
This appointment is scheduled at 30 minutes for application across the parting and hairline. It delivers a fast, targeted refresh that slots easily into a busy day.
If you would like a toner, root melt, cut or blow-dry, book these as add-ons and allow extra time. Choose half or full head highlights if brightness is needed beyond the T-section.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, keep water warm not hot, and protect hair from heat with a thermal spray. A weekly hydrating mask helps maintain shine and softness.
To refine tone and add gloss between visits, consider an in-salon toner, especially if your blonde tends to warm. Shield hair from UV and chlorine when travelling.
Most clients book a T-bar every 6 to 8 weeks, with a half or full head every 10 to 12 weeks when more coverage is needed. Your colour plan can be adjusted to your lifestyle and goals.
