Half head highlights tailored to your colouring and cut, adding soft brightness and dimension where it flatters most. Expect a natural blend that lifts the face, reduces the look of regrowth and refreshes your style without a full colour change.
More information
What's Included
Your colour is created to suit you, with care at every step.
- Personal consultation to define tone, placement and maintenance goals.
- Precision half head foils focused around the face, parting and crown.
- Bespoke lightening tailored to your hair type and desired lift.
- Toner or gloss to refine shade and neutralise unwanted warmth.
- Optional root smudge for a softer blend at the regrowth, if suitable.
- Professional cleanse and conditioning to support hair health.
- Blow-dry and finished styling to reveal the colour and dimension.
- Personalised home care and maintenance plan.
Who It's For
If you want brightness through the top and around the face without an all-over light result, this service is for you. It is ideal for refreshing between full head services, softening regrowth lines and adding dimension to one-length or layered cuts.
It suits natural or coloured brunettes and dark blondes seeking a subtle lift, as well as anyone wanting a gentle introduction to highlights. If you are aiming for a much lighter overall look, a full head may be recommended.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Your appointment allows for consultation, foiling, development, toning and a full blow-dry. Length varies with hair thickness, length and starting shade.
If you have very thick or long hair, or add a root smudge, extra time may be required. Planning a special occasion? Book a few days ahead so the colour settles and you can style with ease.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Wash with sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. Use a heat protector before styling and keep hot tools on a moderate setting.
To maintain tone, use a purple or blue shampoo occasionally as advised for your shade, and apply a hydrating mask weekly. Protect hair from chlorine and strong sun where possible.
Most clients refresh a toner at around 4 to 6 weeks and schedule their next half head highlights at roughly 8 to 12 weeks, depending on regrowth and preference. Your colour plan will be tailored to your hair and lifestyle.

After using box dyes for so many years my hair had so many different bands of colours in it that I knew it was time to go to a good hairdressers. So glad I chose Nicholas Ablitt. Staff are so welcoming & friendly to everyone who walks through the door. We chatted how to deal with my hair when i first stepped in many years ago. I always get a professional finish and cut & dried how I like it. Been more than 5 years now since I first went which says something in itself. Always a pleasure to go there have a cuppa & a chat while your hair is being styled. Prices are also very competitive. Thanks guys 💕
