A Partial Highlight appointment usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes depending on hair length, density, and desired lift. Consultation, foiling, processing, and toner are included. We'll give a precise time during booking based on your hair and style goals.

Partial highlights are less damaging than full-lightening because fewer foils and less product are used. We use professional lighteners, bond-builders, and conditioning treatments to protect hair integrity and recommend at-home care to maintain health and color vibrancy.

Yes — our stylists assess previous color, condition, and porosity to create a safe plan. Sometimes a color correction or strand test is needed before highlighting to ensure even lift and avoid unwanted tones.
