Partial Foils
Add Dimension with Strategic Highlights
Partial foils are the perfect solution for adding subtle dimension and brightness to your hair without the commitment of a full head of highlights. This technique focuses on strategic placement around your face and crown, creating a natural, sun-kissed effect that enhances your features and adds movement to your style.
What Are Partial Foils?
Partial foiling is a highlighting technique where selected sections of hair are wrapped in foils with lightener or color. Typically covering 20-30% of your head, this service concentrates on the areas that frame your face, the crown, and the top layers of your hair – the sections most visible and impactful for creating dimension.
Benefits of Partial Foils

- Brightens your complexion and enhances facial features
- Lower maintenance than full highlights
- More affordable option for regular color maintenance
- Perfect for first-time highlight clients
- Adds movement and texture to single-tone hair
- Can be customized for subtle or bold effects
