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.

Evie did a great job on my hair - cut and colour - a few weeks ago. It still looks great! Thanks. - C Carli Fine > I found this salon because I complimented Evie’s shiny hair when we were at a local cafe and was delighted to learn she is a hairdresser. I am very picky about cuts for my 2C-3A curly hair, and am always amazed at how her trims and layer placements make my hair spring back to life!! - M Mary Ann Ventour > Linda did an absolutely amazing job on my hair. I am so pleased and will definitely go back. Thank you ## 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.
