Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a highlights and foils appointment?
You will start with a consultation to confirm your goals, the tone you like, and how you want the colour to sit through your hair. The service focuses on precise sectioning and even application for a clean result. You will leave with a polished finish and guidance on maintaining your colour at home.
Who are highlights and foils best suited to?
They suit anyone who wants added brightness, dimension, or softer regrowth, whether you are trying highlights for the first time or maintaining a regular colour routine. They are also a popular option for highlights and grey coverage without a full all-over colour feel. Your stylist will advise on a look that fits your day-to-day style and upkeep.
How often should I maintain highlights and foils?
Most clients refresh them every 6 to 10 weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows and how bright you like your colour. Spacing can also be adjusted if you prefer a lower maintenance finish. We can help you plan a schedule that keeps your colour looking consistent between visits.
How do I look after my hair after highlights and foils?
Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, limit heat where possible, and always apply heat protection when styling. A weekly nourishing mask helps keep hair feeling smooth and looking glossy. If you notice brassiness over time, ask us for product guidance to keep the tone looking fresh.
Do I need to do anything before my first colour appointment?
Bring a couple of reference photos and be ready to talk about your current colour history, including home colour use. For new colour clients, you may be asked to complete a skin test in advance, depending on your circumstances. Arriving on time helps ensure there is enough time for thorough sectioning and application.
