Half Head Highlights – natural brightness in Brighton

Want fresh, sun-kissed colour without the commitment of a full head? Half Head Highlights target the most visible areas—the parting, crown and sides—so your hair looks brighter where it counts. We tailor the weave, placement and tone to suit your skin tone, haircut and lifestyle, then finish with a toner for a clean, blended result.

What to expect

  • Consultation: We plan lift and tone, discuss maintenance and check your colour history.
  • Sectioning & foiling: Fine weaves through the top and sides, with optional face-frame pieces for extra pop.
  • Process & tone: Lightener develops under foil, then we tone to neutralise warmth and set your chosen shade.
  • Timing: Please allow 1½–3 hours, depending on starting colour, length and thickness.
  • Location: Friendly Kemptown salon with easy links from Brighton Marina, North Laine and Hove.

Why choose half head

  • Lower maintenance than a full head, with soft regrowth.
  • Face-framing light and dimension where you see it most.
  • Versatile: From subtle, beachy ribbons to a brighter, high-contrast look.

Maintenance & care

  • Top-ups: Most clients return every 8–12 weeks. Alternate with a T-section for quick refreshes.
  • Toner refresh: Every 4–8 weeks to keep your blonde clean and glossy.
  • Home care: Use bond care, sulphate-free shampoo, colour-safe conditioner and heat protection. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Good to know A patch test is required 48 hours before colour services or if it has been over six months. We proceed only if hair health allows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a half head different from a full head?
Half head focuses on the parting, crown and sides for visible brightness with less time and upkeep than full coverage.
How long will it take?
Typically 1½–3 hours, depending on hair length, thickness and desired lift.
Will I need a toner?
Yes. Toning refines the shade and cancels brass for a seamless finish.
How often should I maintain it?
Most clients visit every 8–12 weeks, with T-section or toner appointments in between if needed.
Can I combine with balayage or a gloss?
Absolutely. Balayage can soften the grow-out, and a gloss adds extra shine and tone.
