Foil highlights and parting is a precise lightening service that brightens selected sections of hair using foils, with a clean, intentional parting to control placement. It is ideal if you want noticeable brightness without a full all-over colour, with a finish that still looks soft, blended, and easy to wear.

Foil highlights and parting: what you get
Foils allow controlled lift and even brightness, while the parting helps shape where the lightness sits so the result looks intentional from your most-worn angle.
- Personalised placement mapped around your parting and how you style your hair
- Even, consistent lift through chosen sections (from subtle to brighter)
- Balanced tone with optional glossing or toning for a clean, wearable finish
- A blend that helps new growth look softer between appointments
- A result that adds dimension and movement, not just lighter ends
When this service is the best fit
This is a good choice if you:
- Wear a consistent parting and want brightness that sits exactly where you see it most
- Want to refresh dull colour, add dimension, or lift a natural base
- Prefer a more structured highlight look than freehand painting
- Are growing out previous colour and want a softer transition
- Want controlled lightness around the top and front without committing to full-head foils
How the appointment works
Your stylist will start with a brief consultation to confirm your parting, target level of brightness, and the overall tone you want (cool, neutral, warm, or beige).
Hair is sectioned carefully, then foils are placed to build brightness exactly where needed. Once lifted, hair may be toned or glossed to refine the shade, reduce brassiness, and improve shine, then finished with a blow-dry so you can see the blend and placement clearly.
Aftercare and maintaining the result
To keep your highlights looking fresh, use a colour-safe shampoo and a heat protectant, and avoid over-washing where possible.
If your tone runs warm between visits, a toning shampoo used occasionally can help, but it is best chosen to suit your shade. Many clients benefit from a periodic toner or gloss appointment to keep the colour looking clean and balanced without re-lightening every time.
